Would you favor hiring students with educational background in public policy?We were able to gather a broad range of information concerning the demographics of the surveypopulation. The respondents were from a variety of engineering backgrounds. The distributionof engineering disciplines included in the survey was 40 CS/EE, 20 aerospace engineering, 15chemical engineering and 25 civil engineering. We were also able to gather information aboutjob title. All of the interviewees indicated that they are presently (or have been) in hiringpositions; twenty five percent

The list of engineering specialties includes aerospace, agricultural, biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical and electronic, environmental, safety, industrial, marine, materials, mechanical, mining, nuclear and petroleum. As is typical with time series data, the methods change periodically, resulting in some incomplete series. For

. The ideal case is one where the professors both know each other and have Page 11.173.3 complimentary areas of expertise that fit into a single course and the schedules match. Kurt Maute in our aerospace department has run a course with his colleague in Munich in advanced aircraft design. In this course there were three design teams one of which included students in both countries. Coordination problems and learning how to work together took some time and made the international team somewhat slower. However, the students were uniformly positive about the experience and the next time it is tried this coming fall some of the

Patient groupswere invited to gauge the benefits desired by patients from the technologies and what risk maybe acceptable to patients.The first workshop topic was the use of additive manufacturing for production of medicaldevices. Several industry representatives, both from companies who develop the additivemanufacturing equipment as well as those in the medical and aerospace industries who currentlyproduce additively manufactured products, presented information on the capabilities of thetechnologies and benefits compared to traditional manufacturing.
