So far, as shown in Table 9, the Noyce program hasenrolled 16 interns (undergraduate students who have demonstrated some interest in teaching as a career)and 43 scholars (undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the college’s teaching certificationprogram). Cumulative demographics for all cohorts (I through IV) indicate a distribution of 55% femaleand 45% male students. The interns have no obligations for the summer support they get other than takinga CMST course (e.g., CPS 101) afterward but the scholars are required to

Regarding the former, I described to Lauren my hope that the reflection activity we discussed helped the learners inquestion—graduate students interested in engineering education—relate their experiences in an onlineworkshop to prior experiences and knowledge about engineering education, as well as to anticipatedexperiences in their academic careers. Ideally, learners would gain more from the online workshopexperiences by understanding them in this larger temporal context. What I am calling integration in the person is another
renewable energy-based nanotechnology education module that is focused on the development of next-generationsolar cells. This specific topic was selected due to the rising interest of early-career engineers inadvanced energy conversion technologies. Furthermore, the local expertise regarding thisspecific form of solar energy conversion allowed for a complete, yet simplified, picture of thefundamental scientific and nanotechnology principles to be communicated to the FYE students.That is, by having a technical expert that was both familiar with the utilization of quantum dotsolar cells and the FYE program at Purdue, a clear overlap in student abilities andnanotechnology relevance was established.Quantum Dot Solar Cells.

Furthermore, it has been shown that indus-try enhancement through the use of problem-based learning (PBL) fosters a modern environmentthat prepares students for the realities of their chosen careers in the Architecture, Engineering, andConstruction (AEC) field (Solnosky et al. 2013). Multi-disciplinary teams provide an excellent way to promote integration that allows for morecomplex projects to be undertaken (Adams 2003; Salas et al. 2008). Capstone courses furtherprovide a comprehensive evaluation of students’ prior knowledge that is applied to real projectsthrough individual and/or team based structures (Davis 2002; Jenkins et al. 2002). These systemsprovide excellent mechanisms for developing new leaders amongst students once they

engineering is not one of those criteria. The faculty reward system recognizes teaching, research, and service to the profession, but it does not give the same status to delivering a marketable product or process, or designing an enduring piece of the nation's infrastructure.” “Of course, what you measure is what you get. For the most part, our faculty are superb "engineering scientists," but they are not necessarily folks who know a lot about the practice of engineering. At most schools, for example, it's hard to bring someone onto the faculty who has spent their career in industry, even though such people would be extremely valuable to the students; their resumes simply don't fit what the reward system values. Sometimes, it's

In this course, learningwas achieved at three levels: individual learning, team learning, and learning from each other inthe AME5740 community. This structure was systematically developed using the assignments.Initially, the

Missile System Design Engineering Model Graduate CurriculumVery few universities in the United States provide students with the opportunity to complete aprogram, at any level (undergraduate or graduate) in missile system engineering. To the writer’sknowledge, these programs number less than the usual number of fingers on one hand. Onemight presume that either the demand for such programs is small or that the existing programs inaerospace engineering prepare students, equally well, for careers in space, airplane or missileengineering. There are significant differences between airplane and missile engineering.Airplane/Missile Mission DifferencesMissiles and airplanes have different missions. Typically, airplanes carry a non-lethal payload ofsome
the designprocess model. In a related study, Atman and her colleagues16 found that engineering freshmenwere less likely than engineering seniors to progress to later steps in the model, spending lesstime in activities such as evaluating solutions. Clearly, the block-flow model does not simply capture a general problem solving strategysubscribed to by people of any trade. Yet, to what extent do experienced engineers subscribe toand use the model? Could it be a mere blip on the screen of practicing engineers’ conceptions ofdesign as they progress through their careers—like a youngster’s coat, worn for awhile, thenoutgrown and discarded? Conversely, is it clung to, refashioned and elaborated? Or is it nevermuch used in the first place

It is imperative that we expose our students to the real-worldchallenges and constraints facing engineers.” In summary, then, the EIC initiative allowed us tobuild on existing strengths within our school and to achieve one of the school’s most importantstrategic objectives.
