Materials can be particularly difficult to initiate forseveral reasons, among them the lack of facilities, adequate samples, equipment and limited funds. The authorshave developed several projects that have overcome these difficulties and which have been well received by thestudents.Introduction: The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) describes design as the process ofdevising a system, component, or process to meet desired needsK. A capstone design course is an integrationof the entire engineering education as well an exercise in communication skills, all of which are brought to bearin the completion of a given design objective. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science degree program allows students to

Because of the diversity of disciplinespursuing research and applications in nanoscale science and engineering, nanotechnology has thepotential to make an even broader impact.2The importance of this emerging technology to society and industry requires that undergraduateinstitutions take steps to adapt their curriculum to ensure a capable future workforce as well as amore scientifically literate general population.3-5 Problem-solving will continue to be animportant part of undergraduate education, as will the need to cultivate creative, critical, andentrepreneurial thinking.4,6 Yet, science and engineering undergraduates will need acomprehensive education that includes nanotechnology in order to navigate successfully the

. To complicate the situation, there has been a downward trend in engineering enrollment over thepast few years. In today's high technology environment, introducing scientific and engineering concepts early ina student's educational experience is critical in fostering students' interest in technology. At the same time, an“information revolution” has occurred which requires educators of all levels and disciplines to constantlyupgrade their skills. These factors contributed to the need for the Connections Program, which provides networkconnectivity to selected area high schools. 1996 ASEE Annual Conference Proceedings

Our expectation was to expand this survey toinclude additional employers. However the results were rejected by many faculty at the Institutefor multiple reasons. Some of the reasons given were: that the survey was not asking the rightquestions; that the questions were not worded correctly; and that it had not sampled the correctpeople. These criticisms, for the most part, were valid and could have been ameliorated bymodifying the survey. However, the major issue, which was not properly addressed in designing

In order to uncover the different value systems hidden in different disciplines,and to determine how it affects sustainable design judgment, an experimental exercise wasdesigned in the course of construction technology education. An urbanized eco-tourism hillpath design near Taipei 101 was designated as the exercise topic, and the team’s membersengaged in the exercise came from different disciplines included: landscape architecture, urbandesign, and civil engineering. Results of the exercise showed that there are two driving forcesrelated to the value judging base: recreation needs and ecological concerns of environmentalbio-diversity, which affected the engineering design
reports the results for the data collected between April 2007 and April 2009 with amixed method approach.The ContextThe field of electrical engineering (EE) has been advancing with a remarkable pace for the lastthree decades. The rapid advancements in EE have impacted other fields of engineering and hasenhanced its importance among different engineering disciplines8, 10. A host of today’s cuttingedge technologies crucial to the economic development of any country are the off-shoots ofdifferent branches of EE11. This increased interdependence of engineering disciplines hasprompted many institutions to modify their curriculums to train the future engineers to beknowledgeable in all aspects of engineering including EE. In line with these trends, the
