This study occurs at aregional university within an Industrial and Engineering Technology department that hasexclusive use of a building. The department contains seven degree programs ranging from TAC-ABET programs to non-accredited technical degree programs. During the study period allclasses and laboratories were scheduled Monday through Thursday. Staff only worked Mondaythrough Thursday. Faculty but not students could gain access to the building on Fridays.The objective of this paper is to study the costs, benefits, and educational impacts of changingthe five day academic and building

American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Evolution of the Engineering and Public Policy Undergraduate Program at Carnegie Mellon UniversityThe undergraduate program in Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University is aunique additional major program for students earning a BS degree in a traditional engineeringfield. Started in 1969, the program continues today with the aim of expanding the skill set oftraditional engineers to better address today’s technological issues as they relate to society andpolicy. The premise of the undergraduate program in EPP is that engineering does not operate ina vacuum separate from society. The program has been educating engineers to broadly approachengineering

Although such disputes canreach fever pitch, they have rarely ended in violent conflict, thanks to the country’s strongtraditions and institutions for legal and legislative conflict resolution.

From theperspective of developing future engineers and scientists, an early emphasis on linkages to publicpolicy and societal issues can promote student buy-in, and prepare for future policy andadvocacy work that are, increasingly, a component of scientific and engineering careers.

To meet the changing demands of the nation’s science and engineering labor force,recognition of the importance of pre-college education intervention and implementation ofchallenging curricula that captures and sustains middle and high school students’ achievementand interest in science and “pre-engineering” content is critical. Current research reveals that one of the most important determinants of what studentslearn is the expertise and pedagogy of the teacher. Accordingly, our research is focused onimproving teacher quality and resulting middle and high school student learning in STEM
