environment).CurriculumAs in any academic program, the development of a cohesive curriculum is important, particularlywhen the program extends across departments, learning environments and academic institutions.The perspective of the community college on curriculum and the transferability of courses can bequite different from that of the 4-year institution. During the process of developing anarticulation agreement, it is not unusual for the community college to ask for a number of corepre-engineering courses (e.g., calculus, physics, chemistry, Engineering Design) that thecommunity college student could use to transfer into the engineering (and computer science)program/s at the 4-year institution. These core courses are selected so as to reflect the

In addition, students’ comments on the benefitsassociated with the use of cases as a learning tool will be provided and a general summary of thecomments will be presented.Developing Cases for Use in the Engineering ClassroomA case is a narrative account of a situation, problem or decision usually derived from actualexperience. Cases are often a reflection of real world situation and issues which decision makers,such as managers and engineers encounter in formulating plans aimed at finding solutions to agiven problem(s) 6.

: How responsive has the engineering curriculum and accreditation requirements been to cultural and societal changes?Authors investigate the conditions of three time periods namely: 1800’s to pre-world war II(apprentice, vocational focused), World War II to 2000 (engineering Sciences focused), and2000 to present (outcome focused). The guiding questions that helped answer the main researchquestion are the following: • What experiences did a typical student have prior to entering an engineering program in each time period? • What were the accreditation requirements during each of the time periods? • What was a typical curriculum within each of the time periods?Findings from this effort will provide recommendations to

Analyzing the order inwhich students completed the activities, the top three strategies were:1.

In doing so, it will focus upon the tools that are of value to the teacherand overall service learning program more than the students and it will also seekout the types of questions and answers that serve the clients’ needs.Literature Review: Service Learning as PedagogyService Learning charts a relatively new avenue in pedagogical research. It hasonly seen a surge in research activity since the 1990’s 3, so it suffers from ashortage of literature steeped in the discipline. Even leaner is the amount ofmaterial that addresses client satisfaction or community partner assessmentstrategies related to service learning projects.It is best to begin with

findings provide insights about the role that academic climate plays on the postbaccalaureate decision making process.IntroductionResearch suggest that the number of women earning baccalaureate degrees in science andengineering has increased every year since 1966 (excluding 1988) and by 2004 women earned44% of master’s degrees in science and engineering (as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2)1.Although the number of baccalaureate degrees for men in science and engineering reached over224,000 in 2004, the number of master’s degrees earned by men in the sciences and engineeringdeclined during the 1990s (as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2)2.

Theseapproaches are becoming increasingly relevant in a work culture characterized by the need tocontinuously reflect and learn from ongoing experience.2 A 1998 census of cooperativeeducation found that approximately 250,000 U.S. students were placed in cooperative educationjobs that year.3 In 2006, the career publisher Vault.com. reported in its third Internship Surveythat some 62% of undergraduate students completed an internship that year.4In terms of outcome studies from co-op, the majority of research was conducted in the 1970’sand 1980’s due to the

OurIntegrated Curricula are structured such that students register for a block of core classes, and theS-STEM student cohort comprises one of these blocks. Throughout the academic year, studentmentors are assigned to this cohort to conduct Supplemental Instruction sessions each week.At present, 85% of this initial FrEP cohort has been retained in a STEM discipline. Data from theprevious three years show an average freshman to sophomore STEM retention rate for a similarcohort of 59%.
