Retaining the original designs of this major project might have helped avert thesubsequent political deterioration that spiraled into warfare.A rural development project in Rwanda that started in 1974 is another example of a missedopportunity that turned out instead to exacerbate tensions. In this case, the benefits (includingstructures, roads, and land access) were largely captured by local Hutus, excluding Tutsis. Thefinal result was judged by one Africa scholar to be “a great increase in inequality betweenregions, social classes, groups and individuals.”In two examples from Thailand, irrigation projects were constructed (in the 1950s-1970s) to winpopulation loyalty in a

technologists may not fully appreciate the need for public policy to guide theoptimal advancement of appropriate technologies or to regulate specific technologies’ potentialnegative impact upon society. This disparity creates a gap between innovation and regulation notoften addressed in current engineering and technology curriculum. Engineering and technology colleges are beginning to recognize a need to fill this gap byproviding public policy background to their undergraduate engineering and technology studentsin the form of a planned curriculum. In this paper we will review a recent effort to introduce apublic policy course into the curriculum at a midsized Midwest university’s college ofEngineering and Technology. Specifically, we will

approached the organizers to get involved in creating a broader series that addressed the interdisciplinary nature of biomedical research. With the growth of the series, the number of people involved and impacted grew too. One of the unique features of this series is that it involves four of the five colleges at Louisiana Tech with at least 10 individual programs participating, creating a truly interdisciplinary seminar series. Over the last three years, faculty and students from biomedical engineering, biology, kinesiology, and chemistry have been polled for seminar speaker recommendations. In turn, those faculty members have been involved in the planning and hosting of their recommended

For instance, a student asks a professorin class about his opinion of the dean’s plan to reorganize the college or department and the impactthis might have on the student’s career or graduation plans. Or perhaps, a professor serves on auniversity budget committee. Can this professor publish articles and engage in public debate usingthe information gained through his involvement as a member of the committee?The federal courts are currently split over the application of the First Amendment to speech byprofessors employed at public universities.

Funding for the following twoacademic years was reduced even further in July 2009.As a means to reduce energy costs and foster sustainable living the department switched from afive to four day work week. The decision to make this switch was discussed and voted on duringan all hands faculty meeting. Most faculty favored such a shift but a very vocal minority wasvehemently opposed to offering reduced services for students. An excerpt for the departmentchairs letter explaining the shift reads “To reduce operating costs, energy expenditures, andprovide sustainable leadership on campus the Hogue Technology Building will only be open fornormal business Monday

RPD 20-9 also introduced andrequired the possibility that a review could result in a decision of “Does not meet expectations”for a faculty member. If such a determination was made, a remediation plan would be created,and the faculty member would be given three academic semesters to improve his/herperformance (unless the shortcoming was research-related, in which case he/she would have fouracademic semesters to rectify the shortcomings).

The second report was a shortsummary of their findings, which were distributed to everyone in the class.The next stage of the project lasted for two weeks. In this part, the students were to read thesummaries provided by the other students, and then develop their own vision of the electricitygeneration infrastructure in the United States in the year 2030 and their plan on how to get to thatpoint. The students then submitted their proposed plan, representing the development by eachstudent of their own proposed energy policy for electricity generation.Some of the benefits of this project are (1) the increased awareness on the part of the

In the US this correlates with 529-type college savings plans [34].Alternatively, a CPI-linked endowment payment can be made at age 20 that equalsapproximately €57,000. It is important to note that there are many tax expenditures that canbe redirected towards this form of positive-return on capital investment. For example one ofleast effective tax expenditures as highlighted by the International Monetary Fund relates tohousehold fuel and energy consumption which could also be considered a source of funds forthis endowment.This endowment represents an accounting measure, with the allocation of the endowmentdone by voucher or

For postsecondary education research in particular, funding is even more lacking. Thereis almost universal emphasis on examining issues most prominent in K-12 education. Thisemphasis is appropriate, given that learning at the K-12 levels provides the foundation for laterlearning. However, given that almost 70% of high school graduates continue on forpostsecondary education, it is clear that college-level education research cannot be ignored.

To strengthen theadvocacy efforts of SWE, the committee developed an advocacy statement of what the WIACommittee supports. This statement was subsequently adopted by the SWE Board of Directors.The full advocacy statement is in Appendix A. The key points, which are important to thisdiscussion of what SWE and WIA offer its membership, include the following: ● tools and resources to support the interests of these members, ● advocating with the institutions and universities where these members work and volunteer, ● educating others about this unique career

The theoretical sampling processcontinued until the point of theoretical saturation, which means that the researcher stoppedinterviewing engineers when no new relevant data emerges and the relationship between thedifferent categories is established [16]. A total of 13 semi-structured interviews; open-ended questions; were conducted. Theduration of each interview ranged from 30 to 45 minutes.

Indeed,supported by the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act (PL 108-153:2003), the NSF primarily, but other agencies as well (e.g., EPA, the National Institute forOccupational Health and Safety), have committed substantial funding toward understanding thesocial and environmental implications of the nanoscale revolution.The intention for the course

On a basic level, some type of market treatment may be correct in that a financialtransaction (or series of transactions) occurs between the student and the university at the end ofwhich the student usually receives a diploma indicating their qualifications. On the other hand,one might easily argue that this simplified, unidimensional analysis falters in at least two ways.First
