assignment ofthe semester required students to write reflective essays. The assignment asked students toreflect on their definition of CE/EvE/AE, if they were interested in continuing to major inCE/EvE/AE, and why. Students were prompted to discuss personal experiences prior to college,content in the first year CE/EvE/AE course, and other college courses that impacted thisdecision. Students were also instructed to “Cite specific aspects of CE/EvE/AE and being aC/Ev/A engineer that appeal to you and do not appeal to you.”The essays were generally about two pages long. The assignment was worth ten percent of theoverall course grade. It was graded on whether or not the students fully answered each question,not based on their specific responses (such as

U.S. Data was drawn from the ASEE data mining tool over a threeyear period (2010-2012) for 186 colleges of engineering. A non-dominated set of 24 efficientengineering colleges was identified and compare with the set of less efficient colleges. Therelationship between the level of funded research and PhD production is the same for theefficient and less efficient programs. There is a marked difference between the efficient set andothers in the relationship between BS and MS production and funded research. In the lessefficient programs, there appears to be no relationship between the number of degrees grantedand the amount of research funding.

Longitudinal EvolutionThe course curriculum for the sophomore Leadership Foundations course was adapted andevolved from a popular, senior-level elective class offered by the college. The course was Page 24.874.5originally developed and taught by a trio of motivated professors with an interest in engineeringeducation. The focus of the class was on moral and ethical engineering leadership and provideda context for that leadership in the global environment. As a pilot program, in 2010, additionalinstructors for the class were recruited from several departments around the college. Studentinterest in the class was already high, and sections of

Furthermore, thenature and complexity of emergency management has grown significantly in the past decade.During the Spring of 2010, JSU’s Technology Department was selected to receive a grant fromthe US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for establishing an Emergency ManagementTechnology (EMT) program. The establishment of this EMT program has met the increasedstudent and community demands.The undergraduate Technology curricula at JSU are designed to prepare students to work in awide range of industries, giving them a broad base upon which they can build, with subsequenteducation and training, to meet industry-specific needs. The EMT Program at Jackson StateUniversity is an interdisciplinary venture that
