Of 104 ABET- accredited 2-year ET programs, over a third are at those same 100 4-year colleges. Most original (1950’s) 2-year College ET programs were in Mid-Atlantic & Great Lakes states. c) The average ET program enrolls fewer students than the average Engineering program; also, each Engineering School has more recognized or accredited programs (usually several) than each College with ET programs (often just 1 or 2 accredited ET programs, with few offered anywhere beyond

majordifferences between coping networks of students who are able to successfully manage stress versusthose who are not able to? To answer these questions, we surveyed graduate engineering studentsat a mid-sized Mid-Atlantic institution. The survey consists of three major sections: (1) thePerceived Stress Questionnaire (S. Levenstein, et al. J. Psychosom. Res., vol 37, no. 1, pp. 19-32,1993.), which is a validated instrument that assesses an individual's perceived stress level, (2) asection for respondents to identify and rank major sources of stress, and (3) a section forrespondents to identify and rank major coping strategies. The survey identified research, grades,and issues relating to mental health as major stressors for all groups, and people

This longitudinal studyhas been using quantitative and qualitative methods to better understand the undergraduateengineering experience and how the University is preparing engineering students. A componentof this longitudinal study is learning about the experiences of international students in theCollege of Engineering.The College of Engineering at the mid-Atlantic University has experienced an increase in thefraction of international students that parallels national trends. In 2007, the percentage of first-year engineering students from outside the U.S. was 3.2%; by 2012, it had risen to 10.7%.Because of the increasing

This paper presents a detailed account of how one large mid-Atlantic university designeda targeted communication course, which focuses on meeting the communication demands placedon engineers. The course, currently taken by about 350 engineering students per semester (14sections with no more than 26 students per section), is the collaboration of the College ofEngineering and the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences. This partnership, referredto as integrated instruction, is defined as a collaboration between communication experts in theliberal arts and a college of engineering. By offering

Forty-two postdocsemployed at a Mid-Atlantic, research-intensive University, participated in individual interviewsto describe their experiences as postdocs at the University. This paper provides answers to thefollowing three research questions: (1) What are the benefits and challenges of science andengineering postdoc positions? (2) What liminal experiences characterize the postdoc position?and (3) What recommendations to improve the postdoc experience emerge from this study?IntroductionThe purpose of this study is to learn about the
