As one writer put it, “I think mentors should be role models, BUT a role model who hasn'tforgotten where s/he came from, how s/he got to where s/he is now and always looking back to seeif s/he can help those that came from the very same place.”3 Everyone has had to write, andengineering faculty continue to have to produce text throughout their careers. By taking their owntravels through communication as a means to get engineering students to look at their own tasks, abond can form that allows for the improvement of student text.ProcedureHow does one approach a situation where the faculty is to be asked to perhaps open up to studentsin an area that they may not be totally comfortable? How do you get
information.Many learning style models have been formulated and instruments developed to assess preferences that arebenefitting millions of users. Examples of learning styles are: active v/s reflective and visual v/s verbal. Activelearners rely on activities while reflective learners take recourse to reflection. Visual learners benefit fromvisual cues like pictures and charts and verbal learners feel comfortable with words. In real life, we have to useall the learning styles and therefore achieve balance between them. We can rely on our stronger styles to learndifficult areas and hone our weaker styles to learn easier areas. Liberal learning can provide the requiredopportunities to experiment and bring in the required balance.Liberal Learning

The paper also assesses specific character and professional attributes, stereotypes(profession-, ethnicity or gender-based) and attributes known to facilitate viewer's identificationwith on-screen characters, of engineering professionals portrayed in selected films. In particular,the key research question of “How are engineer(s) and their work portrayed in the feature films?”was broken down to more detailed sub-questions: • What types of engineering work are represented? How is creative component of that work shown? How successful (or unsuccessful) are the outcomes? • Is the distinction between science and technology, and scientist and engineers depicted? • Are
professional ethics is alsoseen in the study’s conclusions where the authors call for more opportunities to “directly relate professionalethics and the technical content which students are learning” [11, p. 487]. The ethics reportedly taught bythe faculty and administration in a second paper in this project also seems to focus on professional codesof ethics and other microethical topics [6]. The Holsapple et al. [6] paper, however, does acknowledge thatengineering’s broader human impact (i.e. macroethics) needs to be a part of engineering education, whichis also seen in the desires of the students in Holsapple et al.’s [6] interviews. In the words of one of theirinterviewees, “I think it would be better for them to emphasize ethics in terms of your

Exposing those from otherfields of study to engineering broadens their knowledge base. The grand challenges facingengineering are going to require collaboration with those from other fields to solve.

activities for undergraduate engineering students.IntroductionIn the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, scholarship in American engineering education underwent afundamental shift as a result of two distinct events: restructuring of the accreditationrequirements of ABET, Inc. (previously known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology) in 1997 and the publication of the National Academy of Engineering “Engineer of2020” reports in 2004 and 20051. These reform efforts stemmed from calls from the Americanprofessional engineering community citing a consistent need for professional, communicative,and innovative engineers in the workplace2, and led to the creation of numerous experimentalpedagogies, programs, and other initiatives to encourage
who received humanities education tend to have better performance” in the workplace,based on pre-and-post surveys given to employers of graduates.In a recent blog post for Science [11] on the reasons to include the Humanities in careerpreparation, and even though writing about science careers, not engineering, Albert brings forthten enumerated reasons, many of which are relevant to engineering practice as well. Reason 2 isthat “[s]tudying the humanities allows you to become familiar with and use the creative ideasfrom great minds outside of science. As a poignant example in support of this argument, considerthe application of art-inspired mathematics to the applied chemistry of an oil-spill clean-up,presented at the Bridges 2012: Mathematics

However, an interesting idea surfacedregarding the team status meetings with the instructor in which an interview Q&A style could beused to gather sufficient evidence.A pilot was conducted in spring 2010 involving the capstone for Electrical Engineering as wellas Computer Engineering majors. The face-to-face meetings with the teams provided anexcellent opportunity to evaluate the skill levels. The instructor reported that each teamemployed all 3 skills at one or more point(s) during the semester. The results are shown in Table5 for all 6 teams. Good performance was observed in 2-3 teams for each skill; however, the bestteams were not always the same. No team

It isinteresting that the latter two posters assumed the proposer(s) of the new language were LGBTQ(must be outsiders!), when in fact there was an organized response from the few out LGBTQIEEE members to alter the proposed wording before adoption of the proposed changes, as theproposed language was not truly inclusive of the LGBTQ community.Sexual orientation is private/doesn’t belong in the workplace: A slightly different (thoughrelated) boundary was drawn between professional and private spheres when frequentcommenter Luke Burgess (relation to Barry Burgess unknown) suggested that sexual
