. DEVELOPING SKILLS IN PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ABSTRACT By Lucian P. Fabiano New Jersey Institute of Technology INTRODUCTION Today’ s competitive need to develop high quality products has redefined the development role of engineers and engineering technologists . Historically, they have been hired to manage their own technical work activities and have not been expected to take on responsibilities required for overall project success. Today, engineers and engineering technologists assume much broader responsibilities . Responsibility for achieving specific

As we teach the design and implementation of process control systems inthe Engineering curriculum, we must recognize that these systems will require capabilities forcontrol and support from remote locations. For example, the need for remote control may bedriven by the high cost of a particular process. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory uses remoteprocess control

The close relations between the Science and EngineeringDepartments within SEMS led to this new interdisciplinary minor and remain its largeststrength. Many of these courses were developed with input from a number of differentfaculty from both the Engineering and Science departments, and the minor continues todraw from this diverse pool of expertise.The six courses that are currently part of the minor were chosen for multiple reasons. Thefirst reason, is that the courses should encompass a broad spectrum of topics from life cycleassessment and sustainable

The intention was to bringtogether different majors to learn about the many facets of marine renewable energy (policy,technology, economics, etc.) and to develop cross-discipline communication. Of the fourteenscheduled meeting times throughout the semester, eight seminars were presented, two classperiods were used for debates, another two for student presentations, and the remaining periodsfor discussion. The final paper was on the student’s perspective of the future of marinerenewable energy with respect to the U.S. Coast Guard.In this second offering of the
