500 employees in the state ofPennsylvania decreased by more than 50%. Some of those jobs went to smaller companies thathad less overhead and could manufacture at a lower cost, but most of them were lost to globalcompetition. This applies not only to blue collar jobs. One can hire an engineer in New Delhiwith a masters degree, to design a product or write software, for $10,000 annual salary who iscompetitive with a U.S. counterpart with salary exceeding $35,000 per year.A goal of the MEEP program is to create an alternative core curriculum in undergraduateengineering focused on manufacturing. The sponsor, ARPA, had an objective to strengthen themanufacturing skills of the engineering work force that will design and produce products in a“lean

For example, how does group interaction help students master both content andapplication of engineering concepts? How exactly is peer teaching and learning accomplished in Page 4.210.1these groups? And how do social factors such as gender and interpersonal relationshipsinfluence teaching and learning in groups?In this study, we analyzed interactions among groups in the introductory chemical engineeringcourse (material and energy balances).

helps guide students as they work to identify differentdimensions and then solve both technical and non-technical problems at the same time.A key problem for existing STS contributions to engineering education is that engineeringstudents tend not to arrive prepared to understand themselves as working in worlds filled withdistinct and, sometimes, competing perspectives. Addressing the political, social, or other valuedimensions of a technological problem typically involves engaging groups who occupy politicalor social positions that differ from one’s own, whether based in engineering or in other fields.The integrated structure of training in engineering problem solving prepares students to master,and hence value, a perspective specific to one’s
judicious use oftalented undergraduate research assistants in the same vein as normally applies to graduatestudents. The author has used nearly fifty undergraduate assistants over the last seventeen yearsin his research in semiconductor materials 6, 7, 8. Careful selection of the cream of the crop,followed by training, management, and motivation, will allow junior and senior engineeringstudents to perform work as good or better than that of average Master degree candidates.Although not as desirable as a team of Ph.D. candidates, it does provide extra hands and hours toconduct research. The professor provides whatever advanced knowledge and skills are requiredto support the students’ laboratory, computer, and library work.Synergism can be obtained

The curricula for the first stage leading to the bachelor’sdegree are not considered here because they are difficult to compare (they differ in length) andfor such programs there are no commonly accepted requirements (similar to the above describedNCHE minimum requirements for 5-year master programs). The following programs areconsidered:• Computer Science and Engineering: - the program implemented at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, Warsaw University of Technology (WUT-FEIT) in the framework of the two-stage system of studies as a combination of the first 6 semesters of the first stage of studies with the 4-semester second
[McCaulley3,Lawrence, Jensen4, Rosati, Lunsdaime].4.2 MBTI BackgroundSignificant work has been done in the development of hands-on content, with the goalbeing overall learning enhancement [Otto2, Carlson, Kresta, Aglan, Catalano]. Some ofthe literature indicates that the combination of multimedia and hands-on creates apositive effect on learning [Cooper, Regan, Behr, Sheppard]. Other studies indicate thatthe effectiveness of the hands-on material depends on the type of content the student isattempting to master. In cases where the material is abstract, the addition of hands-onexperience seems to provide an increase in learning potential. In the case of learning ofmore rudimentary material, such as the simple retention of facts, the supplementaryhands

that engineers need to develop verbal andwritten communication skills to share their ideas with others. Engaging engineering students inwriting activities is an effective mechanism to help them reflect and develop critical thinking skills.Scholars have argued that engineering students are reluctant and demotivated to engage in coursesfocused on academic or technical writing. Studies have confirmed that training engineeringstudents in writing will help them to share disciplinary knowledge with the community. Sincewriting is an essential communication skill that needs to be mastered early on in the program,therefore, engineering institutions need to create courses that focus on writing. In this paper, weintend to focus on a first-year
