Session number: 2242 ASSESSING THE TRAINING OF TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS MOVING INTO MANAGEMENT Dawn R. Utley, Mel Adams, Mary S. Spann, Phillip A. Farrington University of Alabama in HuntsvilleIntroduction Even undergraduate engineering students want to become managers. In fact,statistics indicate that the career aspirations of 50% of all engineering students includemoving into a management position within 5 years of their graduation 1. Moving from atechnical professional to a tech-manager requires a different skills set. Technicalprofessionals are required to be task-centered specialists while managers are asked to

Thehaptics technology, combined with virtual reality and/or telerobotics technologies, has undergonerapid development with medical, educational, automotive, industrial and other applications in thepast decade, with the contributions of numerous academic and industrial research groupsworldwide.Some engineering educators with a research background in haptics have attempted to incorporatehaptics into their undergraduate and graduate curricula. One approach is to use haptics enabledcomputer simulations to assist the teaching of engineering subjects such as physics, statics,dynamics
willingness to learn abstract engineering concepts. In engineeringdisciplines, learning through a medium that combines course materials with interactivevisualization can be a powerful tool for education. Gaming and Interactive Visualization forEducation (GIVE) is a game-like learning tool which is composed of game characteristics (e.g.,a progressively balanced goal, feedback, multiple-goal structure, and scoring), 2D/3Dvisualization, and state-of-the-art interaction technologies to help undergraduate students learn,to improve the image of engineering, and to attract a greater number of high school students tothe study of engineering.Current high school or undergraduate engineering students grew up in an era where video andcomputer games became one of

. Recently, veteran manufacturing employees are retiring fasterthan they can be replaced, taking decades of experience and knowledge with them. It isimperative to continue to train and hire young manufacturing talent to keep the industry strong.For this study, four well-established Pennsylvania foundries and 18 students or alumni whocompleted metalcasting internships were surveyed to begin to establish the best practices forrecruiting and retaining young talent into the foundry industry, with a focus on providinginternships to four-year university engineering or engineering technology students. The surveyincluded 10 directed questions with information typical of establishing a manufacturinginternship, and one open-ended question. An overview of the

Disparities inrepresentation have an impact on women’s median income, the quality of STEM-based solutions,and the diversity of women in leadership roles and continue pervasive narratives about whobelongs in STEM. Athletics and STEM have been seen as vehicles to mobilize studentseconomically and to develop their valuable lifelong skills such as time management, cross-culturalteam-building, problem-solving, competitiveness, and resolve. In this qualitative study, the authorsinvestigate the sports and STEM journeys of three Black women who are collegiate volleyballplayers. The theoretical framework is

important for undergraduate engineering programs to integrate cross-disciplinary learningactivities into the curriculum. Moreover, the emergence of “big data” across many engineering disciplines has led to the need for training and education related to the collection,management, and analysis of “big data”. We develop an interdisciplinary, active learning module for First-Year Engineering (FYE) programs that combines content from civil, electrical, andcomputer engineering while also familiarizing students with “big data” science. In this learning module, students compare and contrast the challenges of gathering comprehensive and qualitytransportation data through advanced technologies and traditional approaches. Students develop basic computer code

ConclusionThe project produces visual indicators for the value of the coin passing in front of thedetection inductor. It consists of different analog/digital circuits that the students havelearned during the first three semesters in the Electrical Engineering Technology Programof Purdue University. This design gives the students the opportunity to put into practicethe theories and applications they possess. It also enhances their troubleshooting skills.Bibliography1. Boylestad, R. L. (1995).
