the nation began to formally define a program in computer engineering. It should bepointed out that these computer engineering programs were not created ex nihilo, but were rathera formalization and renaming of an option within EE which had existed for many years.Software engineering grew out of the need for more rigorous methods of creating software,driven by the creation of continually larger and more complex programs. Examples of these verylarge and very complex programs include military command and control systems, avionics,digital telephone switches, aerospace and launch control, ballistic missile defense, and morerecently, operating systems, and increasingly realistic computer games. The creation of thediscipline of SE is facilitating

Page 11.1335.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 The Use of Student-Generated Lab Plans in the Thermal SciencesAbstractPracticing engineers are often required to design experiments that will be carried out byothers (who may or may not have engineering degrees). Engineers must be able to clearlydefine the purpose of an experiment and specify the equipment and procedures needed forsuccessful completion. As a means of developing this ability, mechanical engineeringstudents at Ohio

company not onlyhas access to a pool of highly-trained talent during the project, but potential hires and consultantsafter the students graduate. A unique feature of the project described here is the combination ofboth undergraduate and graduate students with complimentary backgrounds. Business schoolprograms that focus on high technology markets, which generally are engineering intensive,would benefit greatly from such a joint partnering with an undergraduate or graduate engineeringschool in a variety of disciplines well outside of the Bioscience/Life Sciences. This includestelecommunications, aerospace, defense, environmental, etc. Page
Bachelor’s degrees awarded of23% and 14%, respectively3. Students from a wide range of majors participate in EWB. From2003-2005 the leadership board included civil, environmental, mechanical, architectural,chemical, aerospace and non-engineering majors. Based on the majors represented by EWBstudents at the University of Colorado and the fraction of women in these majors2,3, it would beexpected that the board would be 29% women. Thus, women appear to be over-represented inleadership roles in EWB-CU. Furthermore, women comprised 41% of the 61 active participantson seven different EWB-CU projects, much higher than the 26% women expected based on theengineering majors that the students represented. 70 EWB/ESW ASCE ASME

The UnitedStates Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 1,449,000 engineers were employed in 2004 [1].Of those, approximately 38 percent worked directly in manufacturing, 27 percent worked intechnical services (including scientific research and development services), 13 percent ingovernment, three percent self-employed and about 19 percent were classified as others. Manufacturing establishments include: aerospace, apparel and other textile products,chemicals manufacturing (except drugs), drug manufacturing, electronic equipmentmanufacturing, food processing, motor vehicle and equipment manufacturing
