has prompted educators toreevaluate the foundational body of engineering knowledge in higher education. Moreover, asengineering education increasingly contemplates the global arena, it is obvious that civil andenvironmental engineering has been distinctively impacted and has a leading-edge role to play atthe individual practicing engineer level and as a discipline. In U.S. institutions, for instance,educators have been urged to reassess their curricula with the demands of globalization in mind.8The increasing demand for international engineering and the changing international nature ofengineering work9 has also made it clear that, insofar as engineering projects of scale stretchacross national boundaries and involve collaborating

landscape, the monitor screen, and the programs impose. The ability toformulate a problem with pencil and paper to large and small scales then ably see the big picturebeyond the computer color contour or spreadsheets and small monitor screens has alreadyresulted in tragic consequences. In his book, “Engineering in the Mind‟s Eye,” Eugene Fergusondiscusses such instances have already resulted in major problems. Due to the over-computerization, the judgment of engineers has become compromised. Ferguson cites thefollowing in this work: “Despite the enormous amounts of effort and treasure that have beenpoured into creating analytical tools to add rigor and precision to the design of complex systems,a paradox remains. There has been a harrowing

Similar to efforts made by others,this project also provides undergraduate engineering students at the Drexel University with acourse that exposes them to real world applications and customers. It must be kept in mind thatthe industries who have partnered with academia have expressed that they should be activelyinvolved in university’s activities5 for the benefit of both parties. Therefore, an iterative dialoguebetween the industry and LBSA and students at Drexel University is emphasized throughout theproject.The remainder of the paper is divided in four sections.

and industry professionals to interact in an informalsetting1,30.With this interaction in mind, there are a few more issues to consider, first and foremost beingthe likelihood of academics to be a member of a professional society in the first place. Based onprior research currently in review, academics in engineering technology tend to have a largeamount of industry experience and potential for professional society membership and continuedinteraction with their peers. Further work in this area focuses on students and their affiliationswith professional societies31, and the subsequent effect of that affiliation on their identity withinthe engineering community.Ansmann et. al.32 mentions that membership in a professional society is a powerful

Industry advisory boards, employersurveys, and consulting subject matter experts are a few examples of this type of informationsharing.In this same vein, during my days in industry, I have found that many practicing engineers lookto academia as early adopters of the latest and greatest methodologies and technologies. Manyengineers view the academics with a sense that they are the ones doing truly advanced researchthat is out of the grasp of the more practically minded industry engineers. For many, the primaryexposure to professors, or PhD’s in general was during their

As I watched the kids, I noticed they really were enjoying themselves. They didn’t mind sharing what they had done. Please consider more opportunities for learning with the middle school students (to urge them to consider this major and as a possible career path). If possible, I would like to see more of this during the school year and possibly culminate with a visit to Georgia

GUAPO provides an example of a program where all three key outcomes cometogether.GUAPO provides HP Labs with top talent while effectively and efficiently supporting itsprototyping and development needs. GUAPO also allows HP Labs to protect its intellectualproperty (IP), as these engineers are contracted by HP and abide by employmentconfidentiality and IP agreements. Finally, the center also provides some economies of scalein terms of administrative benefits: instead of negotiating 20 contracts with universities orindividuals, there is now a single HP organization on site hosting and managing theseengineers.GUAPO provides
