sizeand interconnectedness of departments stem from a variety of mechanisms. One possibleexplanation for the large variations across departments could be the historical context of whenand why each department was established. As a land grant university, this Southeast R1University has maintained a Mechanical Engineering department in some sense since itsinception which remains one of its largest departments to date. In the 1940s, engineeringdepartments saw a large increase in federal grant money following Sputnik and World War II,especially to aerospace and electrical engineering departments [30], which are departments thatremain the largest and most connected at Southeast R1 University.2.

Finally, all freshman take threetwo-hour engineering courses that are designed to prepare students with a diverse set of skills aswell as to ensure that they can make the best possible decision when choosing engineeringmajors. From an extra-curricular standpoint, the students are given multiple opportunities to learnabout the different engineering disciplines and how they relate to different industry sectors. Infact, many students fall into the trap of directly relating their desire for a specific engineeringmajor to the industry sector that is really driving their interest. For example, a student may havean interest in a career with NASA so they immediately gravitate to aerospace

Itrecognizes the sufficiency and universality of the Professional Skills across all engineeringdisciplines but that there is a need to tailor problem-solving skills to the specific engineeringdiscipline and the emphases of specific regional engineering and industrial practices that a givenprogram’s graduates may serve. In this context, the discipline is Manufacturing Engineering andthe industrial emphasis is aerospace production.One important requirement captured in ABET Student Learning Outcome 2 (SLO 2) is thatproblem-solving should at some point in an engineering program capture the complexitiesencountered in

Dr. Meunier’s research focuses on the toxicity of contaminants in soils and mine tailings, and on environmental and human health risks associated with exposure to contaminants in water and soil. These investigations include research on inorganic and organic pollutants, as well as novel materials (e.g. nanoparticles, graphene), and contaminant mixtures. For contaminated soils, tailings, and leachates, research results are used to reduce the costs associated with remediation by focusing clean- ing efforts to areas where risk has been identified.
