Try to get acquainted with several faculty members in your department before making a definitive choice. Ask the opinions of other graduate students.• Make sure you can get along with a potential advisor on both a professional and personal level. You will be spending a great deal of time together—in most scientific fields, five or six years—so you need to work together comfortably. You and your advisor should be able to communicate openly and honestly.

DevelopmentThe development of this program is detailed in Somerton et al [1]. A proposal for this collegeteaching certificate program was formulated by a committee of faculty and graduate studentsduring the 1998-99 academic year. The proposal was forwarded to the Dean of the College ofEngineering at Michigan State University, and after review by the administrative group of thecollege, the decision was made to go forward with the program. A coordinating committee ofthree faculty members (the authors of this paper) were identified to develop the two coursesassociated with the program. One purpose of this coordinating committee was to provide, on arotating basis, the instructor for the first three offerings of the theory and practice course. Thecollege

A solicitationis sent to all engineering faculty members inviting proposals to support teams ofstudents. The incentive is that the College provides support for up to one graduatestudent who will work with an undergraduate student team, usually ten or moreundergraduate students.

AbstractThis paper explores what elements and concepts should be included in a pre-college, widelyavailable digital course designed to better guide, inform, and prepare high school studentsinterested in pursuing a career in engineering. The purpose of the course is to provide a digitaltool for exploration by high school students and their advising network as they seek to gain abetter understanding of what an engineering education and career entails. As the investigationhas progressed, the potential benefit of developing separate courses for “guide and inform” and“prepare” is appearing.

Theprogram is designed to address each one of the above mentioned skills.A major problem that currently exists in the schools in the United States is the lack ofappropriate methods and tools which should be used to motivate students to explore careers inscience and engineering (Anwar, 1998). In most of the schools, excellence in mathematics isregarded as a key to success in science and engineering. Students are taught numerousmathematical concepts without teaching them how these concepts are put into application in thereal world. Many math teachers are unfortunately unaware of how engineers and scientists usemathematics to solve real-world problems (Mowzoon, White, Blaisdell, and Rowland, 1999). Byinfusing science and

Therefore, the goals of the workshop design were to guide North Carolina A&T faculty in gaining: 1) an understanding of three findings from a large-scale study of the engineering student experience; 2) an awareness of the types of decisions explicitly and implicitly made in teaching; and 3) an appreciation of the implications of research findings for their own teaching.

Having faculty members choose a focus for a program, design a new program, orredesign an existing Industrial Engineering program can be contentious. This paper presents amethod, using descriptions of real jobs, to help faculty members talk about the types of jobs forwhich the program is preparing graduates and to talk about how well the program is preparinggraduates for those jobs. The method allows agreements and disagreements to emerge andprovides a way to talk about them. This method has obvious applications in designing programeducational objectives and in reviewing and updating program

facilitators for change.There are several challenge areas for any curriculum change. They are:• Any significant redesign of curriculum offerings requires the coordination and consensus ofmany faculty members, and crosses different departmental and college boundaries. At the sametime, faculty members already have substantial workloads in research and teaching.• The current university reward system does not encourage efforts in curriculum redesign.Faculty members are rewarded for individual achievements within the university and the academiccommunity in the broadest sense. Within the university, faculty are rewarded for the number ofpublications, the number of graduate students advised, and the amount of funded researchobtained. This is the primary
