In discussing the merits of Clinic, a liaison said: “I think with the clinic program they not only had to come up with a design technologically, but they had to learn how to interface with us on an individual level. We had video teleconferences and we had I guess a couple of meetings each semester where they would come out and present to us. So they not only had to develop the engineering solutions, but they had to develop those professional skills. So I think that one interesting thing about the clinic is that they kind of guide them a little bit of that earlier on you know before they graduate. So that hopefully at the

for acommitment to empirical rigor in CXC research. We have addressed critiques of CXC bydeveloping pedagogy with a cross-disciplinary team of experts from communication andengineering with the goal of improving outcomes advocated for by both NCA and TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), but in a context focusing on thespecific needs of the engineering discipline. The goal of the pedagogy was to engage students’personal and professional interests more thoroughly in what was still fundamentally, however, acommunication classroom. Research has suggested that integrating oral communication withdiscipline-specific content enhances learning and allows students to take a more active role in theclassroom because students are

We have identified the following for further exploration: Environmental Policy; Resource Utilization Policy; Science and Technology Policy; and, International Development Policy. • An independent project (honors thesis) related to an issue from one of the concentrations which will include an internship (domestic or foreign) or service- learning component.At the end of this investigation phase, all Program faculty had a broader understanding of thefield of public affairs, a deeper appreciation for the interface of public policy and engineering,and a clearer view of the current state
structure”. Systems thinking is perceived both as aparadigm (vantage point and thinking skills) and a earningethod (process, language andmethodology). The second supports the first and the two parts create a synergistic whole.Systems Thinking in Engineering Beginning in the mid 50s, Jay Forrester, a professor at the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, found the need for a better way to analyze social systems. He used hisengineering skills and methods to simulate a social system to predict its behavior overtime considering the impact of other factors. This method was called: “system dynamics”,and between 1961 and 1968 Professor Forrester wrote what would become the classicworks in System Dynamics4,5,6. Today he is widely known as the

In addition to basic demographic information (e.g., age, gender, race, etc.), surveyquestions were constructed to measure a wide variety of demands and resources that were school-related and personal and were expected to hinder or facilitate success of engineering students. Theanonymous survey took participants approximately 20 minutes to complete.

[1], [2]. Among students who initiallyentered science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, research found that 48percent of students had left within the six-year period of study [3]. To remain competitive in theglobal economy, the US must meet the increasing demand of STEM jobs [4]. The majority ofSTEM jobs are filled by white males and if minoritized populations were represented similarlywith regards to initial interest, the shortage of STEM talent supply would be satiated [5]. Within engineering, this gap furthers economic inequality and hinders our ability to meetindustry demand for diverse engineering talent [6].
