His system design research focuses on developing computational representation and reasoning support for managing complex system design through the use of Model Based approaches. The goal of Dr. Morkos’ manufacturing research is to fundamentally reframe our understanding and utilization of product and process representations and computational reasoning capabilities to support the development of models which help engineers and project planners intelligently make informed decisions. On the engineering education front, Dr. Morkos’ research

Only by analyzing the interactions between the graphics application,middleware, architecture, and logic levels can the performance optimization goal be achieved.Each subsequent challenge builds upon those previous, such that by the end of the semesterstudents will have designed and implemented a fully-functional OpenGL-compliant graphicsprocessor, capable of running significant applications.

Several of the key best practices are summarized below: • Utilization of common platforms when appropriate. A single mobile measurement platform is to be used throughout the curriculum in order to minimize costs for students and avoid requiring students to constantly learn new hardware platforms. • Utilization of a flipped lab environment as appropriate. With a mobile studio platform, the weekly lab is envisioned to serve as an open meeting where students can work on their experiments, ask questions, and demonstrate performance, but is no longer the sole work time for building and testing their projects.

Transforming Undergraduate Education inEngineering (TUEE), a framework for developing Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities/Attitudes(KSAs) was proposed. In Phase I of the project [5], industry participants shared that they foundcurrent training of graduates to be inadequate to meet present industry needs and out of sync withfuture requirements. They identified core competencies and an array of skills and professionalqualities needed in a “T-shaped engineering graduate—one who brings broad knowledge acrossdomains, deep expertise within a single domain, and the ability to collaborate with others in adiverse workforce.” Among the 36 KSAs that were identified, 9 correspond to knowledge, 14 toskills, and 13 to abilities.

This holistic approach emphasizes knowledge integration and weaveskey threads (creativity, foundations, and professionalism) throughout the curriculum, stitching to-gether and reinforcing relevant themes from the freshman to senior years.With the goal of showing students why math is critical to becoming a successful engineer, thispaper focuses on the foundations thread of the RED project. Even though the foundations threadencompasses topics in both math and science, this paper shines a light on mathematics and the roleit plays in retention. The paper

theoretical courses before they obtain the knowledge and skill setnecessary to complete a meaningful technical project. This long wait time between studentsentering the engineering and technology (ET) program and when they have had the opportunityto apply content knowledge to a meaningful technical project does have a negative impact on thestudent enthusiasm and motivation to stay in the degree2. Identifying this challenge, severalengineering educators have updated their curricula to engage students in hands-on designprojects in the first-year curriculum. While this method potentially keeps students motivated, it isoften difficult to find an engineering project that first-year students can succeed in, due to theirlimited technical knowledge and
