career, which may be an understatement.From the survey results for the readings, the largest responses from the students were on the TataNano and India Inventors. Both of these had strong connections to engineering. The strongpositive rating for the India Inventors appears to be due to the positive impact on people in India.For the in class topics, most students chose the more technical topics on the Cost of Mars andCongolese Wireless Network (which is also a very dramatic story). As a general rule, the favoritetopics seem to be ones that involve the positive impact of technology on human need, that bringtogether the students’ expertise and career goals with their desire to help people and make adifference.Students selected most of the possible

preparation is also the fact that Engineering Economycourses are sometimes shared among different engineering disciplines (i.e., mechanical, civil,electrical, etc.), and in some cases also with students from fields beyond engineering (e.g.,computer science, safety technology, etc.). This diversity in academic field further contributes tothe wide range of student background and experience in the classroom, and presents instructorswith challenges related to what students may already know at the outset of a course. Anadditional complication is that this experience distribution can be variable from semester tosemester, meaning that what one student population knew at the beginning of one semester doesnot necessarily ensure that the same things are

Engineering’s Explore Engineering Program summer camp. The Explore EngineeringProgram aimed to spark an early interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) through the use of hands-on activities. Participants spent each day looking at variousengineering fields offered by the University of Arkansas.This camp uses a University of Arkansas approved Internal Review Board (IRB) protocol for theuse of human subjects. A pre and post survey is used to determine the immediate impact of thecamp. Participants are given the pre-survey at the beginning of the first day and the post-surveyat the end of the last day. It is part of the program and therefore has a near 100% completion rate.The approved protocol includes the ability to track each

Management System The ABET Engineering Criteria (and by association, the Engineering Technology,Applied Science and Computing Criteria) [2, 3, 4, and 5] define an educational qualitymanagement system (QMS). According to ISO 9000:2008, a QMS is “coordinated activities todirect and control an organization to achieve quality objectives,” where quality is defined as “thedegree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills a need or expectation.”[7] The QMSdescribed in ISO 9001:2008 and 2015[7, 8] is based on six quality principles: customer focus,leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based decision-making and relationship management. ISO 9000:2005 provides a model for a process-basedQMS that depicts the
