teaching capacities of educators in sub-SaharanAfrica is one of the most effective ways of improving the state of education, and indirectly,the quality of life of Sub-Saharan African citizens [1]–[3]. Consequently, effective teacherdevelopment requires an intimate knowledge of the current state of teacher development inthe subcontinent. This study was motivated by a recognition of that need. We begin with anexplanation of the current state of human development in sub-Saharan Africa. Then weremark on efforts that have been directed towards improvement. We comment on the successreports so far but establish why proper consideration needs to be given to this topic in orderfor constituting countries in sub-Saharan Africa to fashion their socio

, team workbook, annotated writingplatform, engaging videos, and live scenarios audio clips, among others. According to Despain,2020 [1], multiple studies have found that only 20% of the impact of training comes from actuallylearning the information while 80% comes from reinforcing that information. One of the mostimportant considerations for an effective training program is how the curriculum is reinforced onceit is learned. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which swept all activities from its normalcy acrossthe globe, a virtual training was organized for ETA-STEM team members consisting of facultyand graduate assistants in six participating disciplines at the authors institution. In a systematicreview by Gast et al., (2014) [2], several studies

include a positive impact on the concerns about computer science betweenpre-test, post-test, and secondary post-test scores. Additionally, there is a relationship betweenspecific micro-credential materials and teacher’s self-confidence at integrating cybersecurityconcepts within their own K-12 classroom. The limitations are included. The study showcasesinnovative and practical tools for teaching cybersecurity, and has implications for teachereducators, technology educators, and those that work in local, state, national educator spaces, andthose creating and implementing professional development. 1.

For example, informal, unplanned learning can and 1does take place inside what would be considered a formal training program, and theories whichreduce workplace learning to a binary choice cannot always account for such variation.Consequently, they developed a more nuanced framework that provides more complex variationsand thus more descriptive power when researching workplace learning.Jacobs and Park (2009) propose a framework, shown in Table 1, which defines

of the design; as well as, their experience indecision-making, are ample reasons why their expertise would enrich students’ learning andbrings them (the students) closer to the realities of the workplace. (1)Employers, by and large, are generally satisfied with the basic technical preparation of today’sgraduates, but find them largely unaware of the vital roles that engineers play in bringingproducts and services from a “concept stage” to the marketplace. An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty members, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any othertype of practical experience. This is particularly troubling when faculty members, straight out ofgraduate school and have absolutely no experience “under their belt

Participants were also asked for their CEE preferencessuch as which types of courses (technical, management, EH&S, legal, other) they would prefermore of and what was their preferred delivery format (face to face, hybrid, online). Thisinformation should be invaluable to those developing curricula and designing and deliveringcontinuing professional development for engineers.IntroductionThe need for CEE has been well-documented [1]. Continuing education is critical for workingengineers because of the breadth of processes and equipment they design and use and because ofrapid changes in technology [2]. For example, plant engineers take courses to learn how tooperate different types of equipment specific to their

development of engineers is critical to ensure proper skills,procedures, and knowledge are learned to facilitate safe, efficient, and environmentally-friendlyoperations with minimal unplanned downtime.1 One way to address effective professionaldevelopment design is through attention to learner preferences. Research has shown thatengineering students have different learner preferences compared to the general population.2However, in an extensive review of available literature, no studies were found reporting on thelearner preferences of working engineers. Thus, it appeared that while much research discussedeffectively educating engineering university students, very little is available in the literature onthe continuing education of working engineers

Therefore, the educationsystem requires measuring and developing the competency.It is worthwhile to examine if the employers evaluate the competency during the campus hiringprocess and students‘ performance, therein. This paper investigates correlation between lifelonglearning competency and result of hiring process. We carried out the study at one of the bestengineering colleges in a small town in India. It had about 600 senior (final year) students and alarge corporate house had selected 46 out of them. We measured life-long learning using theform developed by Kirby et al.. 1 We received responses from 373 students out of which thelarge corporate house had selected 33.

The paper will review negotiation basics, as well as discuss what can be negotiated,how one might proceed to discuss these, and how listening is critical to negotiation. By viewingnegotiation as a “wise agreement”1 that seeks to meet the needs of both parties to the extentpossible, this paper presents several common cases or scenarios that illustrate the importance ofunderstanding the elements involved both from the faculty member’s perspective as well as fromthe perspective of their department head, dean or

Her dedication in promoting women in engineering was recognized by an IEEE Region 1 Award in 1998, an IEEE Regional Activity Board Achievement Award also in 1998 and an IEEE Third Millennium Medal Award in 2000. In 2004, together with Dr. Serge Luryi, Dr. Tang initiated a project that promotes entrepreneurship in engineering education in collaboration with three other higher education institutions on Long Island. For their pioneering contributions, the IEEE Long Island Section awarded Dr. Luryi and Dr. Tang, the Athanasios Papoulis Education Award in 2006. Dr. Tang is currently the Associate Chair for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. She also serves as the Faculty
