clearlyimply a need for engineers to be competent in systems thinking and teamwork/communication,to understand the issues of sustainability, and to work effectively on cross-disciplinary problems.A selected set of (mostly non-technical) KSAs identified as important by a survey conducted atthe ASEE-NSF workshop9 and which stakeholder(s) must be responsible to teach them (inpercentages) are shown in Table 1. The numbers within parentheses next to each KSA indicateits priority in the list of 36 KSAs identified through the survey. The sample data presented belowshows the critical role engineering educators have in instilling these KSAs in the futureengineering workforce.While some of the KSAs identified can be integrated into existing courses through

We also provide aset of classroom extras at the instructor’s table for quick replacement of items that have worn outor disappeared. When consumables are involved in an exercise (e.g., Exercise # 1: Take Apart –Pull-back Car), we generally furnish each instructor with enough of the consumable item(s) forhis/her sections. Dedicated classrooms are nice, but they are not necessary as long as thematerials required for the hands-on exercises are easily transported to the classroom in use.During some semesters, we have needed classrooms other than our usual four, and we thenprovided dedicated wheeled carts that were stocked with hands-on sets and could be taken
A Novel Collaborative Program in Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Thamire, C., Ainane*, S., Hoffman, J., Pertmer, G.A.* Frostburg State University/University of Maryland, College Park*AbstractOver the past few years, the University of Maryland (UM) and Frostburg State University (FSU)have collaborated to develop a novel undergraduate mechanical engineering degree program inwestern Maryland. Designed to serve the students in the region and provide engineeringgraduates and further engineering educational opportunities for local industries, the programutilizes both live-instruction and distance-education as the delivery modes.

An industrial consultant provided end-of- semester reviews.Institution II: Dordt College Engineering ProgramDordt College is a fifty-year old Christian liberal arts college located in Iowa. The engineeringprogram was first implemented in the early 1980's with general engineering. This generalengineering major offers mechanical and electrical emphases to an engineering student body ofabout 90 individuals across all levels (freshman to senior). About 20 seniors complete theprogram each year. Design projects play a role in many

Two shrines were located on Hawk and High Peaks.Additional surveys were carried out on Emerald and Plainview Peaks, and nineteen localtribes were contacted to see if they had concerns. Four tribes, the Ak-Chin, Hopi, Zuni,and the San Carlos Apache responded but raised no objections to the proposed plans forthe telescopes. The shrines were protected and the telescopes were located near EmeraldPeak on a site with no known adverse cultural impact. In 1990, two years after thecompletion of the final environmental impact statement, some members of the San CarlosApache tribe raised

The in-dealing-with-stress strategies helped to reduce stress as conflictwas building. The on-dealing-with-stress strategies helped to detect and reduce stress after theevent(s) causing the conflict had happened. phase
