Each sheet details the course content in terms of design, computer use, laboratoryexperience, written communication, and oral communication. These are major skill areas whichABET and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) have identified as those inwhich a graduating engineering student should be well qualified3, 4. We examined eachengineering course offered in the curriculum and attempted to identify which of these five areasare specifically addressed. In developing the course content sheet format, we recognized thatthere are different levels of sophistication or levels of content within each of these five areas.For example, the

Given the power and durability of scientific and market forces inthe United States and Canada, engineers’ associations may implicitly frame “public good” intechnicist and capitalist ways, foregrounding scientific innovation and economic growth as keyprofessional “goods.” Alternately, or maybe simultaneously, they may turn to ethical theoriesgenerated by philosophers and sociologists who have been defining public good for centuries.What does it mean to hold the public paramount and how can we realize this goal with a vagueand largely unenforceable clause? As a researcher who believes professional practice cannot beaccidentally ethical in

The students were tasked to investigate various methods of STT-LUT mapping oflogic gates in a 4-bit adder benchmark and compare with the traditional all custom CMOSimplementation. After characterizing the impact of mapping one gate at a time on the adderperformance, multiple gate LUT mapping was performed. For multiple gate LUT mapping, thegates were selected using three algorithms: independent selection, dependent selection, andparametric-aware dependent selection.

several years, many students have complainedabout the work load they were assigned in different courses. Some students even tried to comeup with strategies to lessen the work load, such as forming the same team for several courseprojects with certain team members working on one project only. This defeats the purpose ofteamwork, can hurt students’ motivation for learning, has a negative impact on future studentrecruitment, and creates too much pressure for students, all of which can lead to other seriousproblems. On the other hand, reducing the contents of the laboratory and course projects is notthe best solution to this problem since most of the faculty members involved felt that theyassigned the students what was necessary in order for the
