subject of fine artfrom a perspective where technology-oriented students would have an advantage, rather than ahandicap; to exploit the experience so as to reinforce some aspect of engineering science byreviewing it in a new context; and to place the engineering students in an environment composedmostly of others in the same discipline.BackgroundAlthough many engineering students would argue otherwise, an exposure to the arts is anessential part of every undergraduate's curriculum. This is underscored by its de facto inclusion,in some form, in the required "distributional elective" hours imposed by virtually every degreeprogram in the United States. Educators recognize that many young people who selecttechnology as a career objective at an early

In a reflective essay and class discussion,students considered the relationship between power and knowledge in thermodynamics andbeyond. Analyzing student responses to the Foucault reading and regular course reflectionsreveals a significant shift in their understanding of classroom pedagogy, an increase in criticalthinking about the course and its subject matter, and an emergence of independent ideas thatstudents pursued further in the course.IntroductionEngineering students continually confront the challenge of bridging the gap between theory andpractice, between curriculum

The examinations are difficultand challenging even for the best students. Outside observers have noted that Japanesehigh school is “not a minimal competency curriculum”1 and “pre-university education inJapan is demanding, and gets results.” 6There is inordinate competition for admittance into those few universities considered tobe the most desirable and prestigious. This stems from the hiring practices of the largestcorporations and the government in Japan which hire only graduates of certain schools7.Undergraduate grades are not considered to be an important factor in

Beginning with the three courses thatmake up the Honors Track we hope to help our students understand the impact on and byother engineers to society through discussion and the creation of their own works.Following this sequence, students will be encouraged to continue to participate in UPoNthrough the Nano-scale Engineering Certificate Program offered through the College ofEngineering.We have begun a longitudinal evaluation study of

. Page 11.768.21. IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a call to integrate more of the so-called “soft skills” into theengineering curriculum, including written and oral communication, time management,teamwork, and leadership1. To be a successful engineer, these skills have been found necessaryby engineering industry. Introducing core courses to the engineering curriculum (e.g.,humanities, history, social sciences, communication courses) has been effective in alleviating thelack of necessary “soft-skills.” Unfortunately, the classroom is not always the best place to learnand practice these skills. Therefore, innovative techniques and out-of-class learning experiencesare paramount to the engineering curriculum. They allow the student a

In thiscourse, students must integrate their previous learning from the electronics bridge courses thatwere taken at their AAS-level colleges. Besides being an inherent concept reinforcementvehicle, this course serves as the primary bridge from the electronics bridge and calculus coursesthat were taken at the AAS-EET level to the +2 BS-EET curriculum. Numerous EET studentshave told their instructors that in this course they realized that they were “in the right place,” thatthey could “handle” the academic rigors of a BS-EET program, and that they were committed tocompleting the program.

common dilemma when considering the undergraduate curriculum is the proper balancebetween “teaching fundamental theory” versus “teaching applied software”. While theestablishment of a sound base of engineering fundamentals within our students is perhaps theprimary goal of the undergraduate curriculum, increasingly there is a legitimate incentive toexpose students to the proper use of different engineering software tools in preparation for theirprofessional careers. While efforts to include such computational techniques have included thedevelopment of an elective upper-level undergraduate course1, the practical difficulty ofimplementing these changes within and throughout the curriculum, and in particular thedifficulty of integrating software

The following is a list compiled from the MVCS science club experience that has beenseen to help our students become more interested in science, math and engineering fields. 1) Start early in the educational process, even in grade school: It is important to have an elementary curriculum to comprehensively cover the areas of math and science. This plants the seed and starts it growing to be well rooted for the branches, such as the area of engineering, to come. A well rounded academic foundation with practical application
