She is already satisfied that students aresufficiently exposed to applied engineering and industry opportunities in different disciplinesduring the normal course of study. She points out that the variety and richness of CS students’past experiences lends well to the teaming and self-efficacy required on the research team.Therefore, her primary motivation for engaging students on this project is to specifically equipthem to create and train robust DL algorithms.

Many students pursuing this fieldaim for careers in developing new medical technologies. Unfortunately, the BME-to-industrypipeline faces hurdles that appear to be keeping students from pursuing their medical industrycareer goals. Herein is a brief discussion of the history of BME and the influences that may havecreated challenges faced by students seeking industry careers. We then present a case study atThe Ohio State University (OSU), a large research I university, which evaluates and comparesthe industry employment potential of students progressing through and graduating from BME.Through this case study, we aim to identify measures

In this context, successfulengineering decisions concerning the water infrastructure must be informed by an understandingof environmental, social, and political impacts and constraints. The future environmentalengineers tasked with tackling these 21st century challenges are ill-served by a 20th centuryeducation that presents technical systems in isolation and does not address the design andoperation of infrastructure as a

They help to create new base substances that are then used to help other disciplines create even more different technology. I think that chemical engineering just seems to affect so many people.” Mid: “I see them as creating useful substances like new compounds that make products more efficient and less wasteful.
