program isdesigned to be extremely flexible; it permits the student to select a combination of coursesrelevant to individual career goals in technology or to provide the foundation for furtheradvanced study. Both a thesis and a non-thesis (applied project) option are available. Theprogram is currently available entirely online and several of the courses employ web-basedlaboratory exercises. Future plans include providing face-to-face, hybrid, and real-timevideoconferencing delivery modes.IntroductionThe primary goal of the Master of Science in Engineering Technology (MSET) is to developadvanced level practitioners in industry who are interested in:• developing marketable skills to meet evolving workforce demands• seeking professional

Specific objectives of this project are to: (1)increase the number of students transferring into engineering at UNL such that by the end of theproject, the percentage of transfer students choosing engineering is equal to the COE’spercentage of total students enrolled, (2) increase the number of underrepresented minoritystudents transferring into the COE, (3) increase the number of women transferring into the COEduring each year of the grant period, and (4) increase retention and graduation rates of STEPtransfer students.

The extent to which students can articulate transferable skills/knowledge andwhether or not students appreciate how and why these skills and knowledge will transfer is notcurrently known.The purpose of this pilot study was to begin to close the knowledge gap in the capstone transferliterature though preliminary identification of students perceived knowledge of transfer.

Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (MCTES)invited the OECD Directorate for Education to evaluate the performance of tertiary education inPortugal 11. The review found that there was no “formal strategic higher education planning ineffect at either the national level or the institutional level,” and that Portugal should take steps to“build excellence” and better integrate the “the tertiary sector in the economic, social andregional life of the country.” Finally, the report emphasized that the main point of reference forPortugal continues international, and mainly to be “whether Portugal is performing well incomparison to its European partners.”In 2006, the Portuguese government launched the MIT Portugal Program (MPP) as

It helps students to save time andcomplete their reports more efficiently. It was expected that this would lead to improved timemanagement and efficiency, while making it easier for groups to manage and complete theirprojects.

While professional development sessions are already offered to faculty, the college plans tooffer sessions that could be conducted within each academic department, such as softwaredemonstrations or simple training sessions incorporated within regularly scheduled departmentfaculty meetings. These training sessions could be framed around how various Tablet PCfeatures can benefit them, such as how the Tablet PC can increase their flexibility through usingvirtual office hours.

For example, in several studies on the integration ofnew science curricula, researchers found the following barriers: lack of equipment, lack ofsupport from a professional development team, lack of time to plan and teach the lessons,insufficient teacher content knowledge, and teacher beliefs about the teaching and learning andthe innovation to be implemented that were incompatible with success.5, 6In terms of engineering curricula specifically, researchers have found additional constraints.

While it is of course the case that students need to developtechnical fluency in science, engineering, and math, as well as the ability to approach problemsfrom a multidisciplinary perspective, there is reason to believe that these science/technologyskills are not sufficient to foster engineering achievement in school and in life.
