Engineering Education Inno- vation Center, the First-Year program serves approximately 1,800 students annually in courses organized to ensure student success through rigorous academics in a team-based environment. His responsibilities include operations, faculty recruiting, curriculum management, student retention, and program assess- ment. Merrill received his Ph.D. in instructional design and technology from the Ohio State University in 1985, and has an extensive background in public education, corporate training, and contract research. He has made frequent presentations at conferences held by the American Society for Engineering Edu- cation (ASEE) and its affiliate conference Frontiers in Education (FIE). He is part of
context affecting the implementation and consequentimpact of engineering solutions.But are industrial engineers ready; either because of their experience or education, to deal withevermore evident sociological aspects of engineering brought about by economic globalization?According to NAE’s 2007 executive summary to Congress7, in order to sustain its share of high-technology jobs, America must prepare for a new wave of change for which engineering isessential only if it is able to continue to adapt to the above new trends and educate the nextgeneration of students so as to arm them with the tools needed for the world as it will be, not as itis today. In 2009, the NSF funded a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site at theDepartment of
