The burgeoning skills shortage and on-going mismatch of students to careeropportunities must be addressed by educators in partnership with employers, to attract andprepare skilled graduates, who will be competitive in a global marketplace. Even among studentswho are well prepared, relatively few students choose manufacturing majors.The Regional Center on Next Generation Manufacturing, in partnership with CBIA, has begunaddressing the negative perceptions about manufacturing through a statewide careers campaign,that includes radio, TV and internet based ads and an annual career symposium.Manufacturers are ready to inform and recruit students, but must also

. In mathematics, symbols have dualism. Symbols infigures 2B, for example, abbreviate mathematical register and present concepts, ideas,calculations and formula. Sentence in figure 2C shows an extreme use of symbols where everywords and sentence have been replaced by symbols. Symbols in mathematical, physical andengineering sciences are utilized to compress mathematical, physical and engineering registers,and they contain more ideas, and concepts than regular and vernacular prose. As a result,comprehending mathematical registers (as a focus of this work) requires understanding the wordsand their relationships to symbols. One also needs to master their meanings and applications.Guide for Graphic Organizer with Mathematical and Scientific Texts

The online mathematics review courseware, ALEKS, isused. Students register and pay for a six-week “Preparation for Calculus” course, take the initialassessment, and work through the on-line lessons. ALEKS breaks pre-calculus topics into 239concepts and uses artificial intelligence algorithms to assess which of these concepts the studenthas mastered and which are lacking.

The break is, at its simplest, exactly what it soundslike - a break from the technical exposition. All people have a limited attention span, and thatlimit grows correspondingly less as the material being presented grows more abstract. Even withall the best pedagogy in the world, some of the material we as engineers present is, at least untilit’s mastered, quite abstract. When difficult material continues to wash upon the student, theyrather quickly reach saturation.

The latter is anexisting requirement in many states for graduates from ABET-EAC programs.What does this mean for CET graduates and graduate school? To be honest, no one knows forcertain. One possibility is that graduate programs will begin to relax admittance criteria to theirME (Master of Engineering) programs. The Master of Science (MS) programs will be reservedand perhaps remolded specifically as a pathway to a doctorate. The MS and ME typically havenearly identical curricular requirements. The difference is that a thesis is required for an MS anda graduate project is a requirement of an ME
