Based on several measures,females were equally prepared for biological and agricultural engineering when compared withmales. However, differences were found in “hands-on” preparation and family background.IntroductionSince the early 1990’s the “pipeline theory” has been accepted as the dominant conceptualframework to describe the relationship between education and occupation

Page 11.1072.2restructuring. We will describe our efforts as they apply to the field of biological engineering ingeneral, the department’s overall curriculum, and specific educational / instructional activities.BackgroundDuring the early 1990’s enrollment was decreasing in agricultural related engineering programsaround the United States. Utah State University was no exception, with a total AgriculturalEngineering undergraduate enrollment approaching ten students. In response to the decline inenrollment and to address the emergence of the biological engineering degree programs aroundthe country the Biological Engineering degree program was created in 1993. Since then, it hasbeen the fastest growing undergraduate engineering discipline on

argue from differentpositions is needed to diagnose the environment and propose the best solution17.Decision-making problems usually require that problem solvers select a solution from a set ofalternative solutions2. Traditional conceptions of decision making posit a set of alternativecriteria that decision makers work through in order to identify the optimal solution. Thosecriteria may be provided to the problem solver(s), or the solver(s) may have to identify the mostrelevant criteria. Everyday life is replete with decision-making problems. Businesses also dailysolve many decision-making problems. Though these problems typically require selecting onesolution, the number of decision factors to be considered in deciding among those solutions as

measure these responses. Future studies should examine therecruitment policies of engineering students, in order to increase female and minorityrepresentation in the program. Also future studies can discuss if there are any differencesbetween the experiences of the international student versus domestic students in the engineeringfield. Additionally, analysis by gender can also be done to better understand specific experiencesof students in engineering majors. Page 22.288.13 References1 Zidney, A. L., Bennett, J.

There has been a setof joint workshops to teach MATLAB to biologists but these workshops were also attended byengineering faculty and students. While biology students and faculty learned the modelingcapabilities of MATLAB, engineering students and faculty were exposed to the SIMBIOLOGYtoolbox..Recognizing that research into new biomaterials is a significant area of emphasis for modernmaterials research and therefore is an area worthy of study, the mechanical engineeringdepartment faculty has upgraded the course entitled Modern
