Students overwhelmingly report positive experiences with theprogram, and often ask for it to be longer. One 2003 ACE Academy student said, “I hadso much fun and gained so much college-life experience. I am so glad I was a part ofthis camp because it really helped me decided that biomedical engineering is almost forcertain what I would like to major in…I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantlysurprised

Walter Shewhartoriginally developed the concept of the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle during the 1930’s. It was taken upand promoted very effectively from the 1950’s on by W. Edwards Deming and is consequentlyknown as “the Deming Wheel”.The pre-college engineering education can be summarized in terms of the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycleas follows:(1) Individual activity on the first day: (a) Plan: Students obtained necessary Do information, e.g. types of bridge structure

The students who chose the essay,roughly 60% of the Fall 2002 class, seemed excited by making connections between the courseand the “real world.” One student—in the top of the class with a test average in the mid-90’s—chose an essay topic because he was interested in doing it, realizing that it would have noeffect on his grade.Other observations, including comments on the essays, were included in an e-mail message sent to

They conclude with the bold statement that "rather than simply themanner in which engineering design is communicated, writing is the medium through whichquality engineering design becomes possible."An example illustrates the intimate connection between writing and engineering: Engineers are writing a report for presentation to a client. They are writing about what their firm learned about environmental contamination from the client 's manufacturing operations. In writing the report, the engineers may never visit the client's facility. Instead, they work from a file of company documents. The source for knowledge about the facility is not from personal observations

Studentswere contacted via e-mail to ask if they would provide the reason(s) why they left the majors.Additional information came from focus groups conducted with current students during the Fall2001 semester. The participating students were very candid and specific, providing informationon why they have persisted, as well as the reasons why other students they know have left theCollege. The students also offered suggestions on administrative and academic issues that mayincrease retention rates. As a result of the student input, the College has

This service, originally called the Instructional Media Lab (IML), wasprimarily used to assist faculty in the development of mediated instructional resources; however,the College wanted to expand this support and include pedagogical assistance. In the fall of 2000with a grant from Hewlett-Packard, the College transformed the IML into the Faculty InnovationCenter (FIC). The FIC supports instructional innovation by providing media and instructionaldevelopment services to engineering faculty. (See

discussed.Union College’s Approach to Engineering MechanicsThe Union College curriculum reform of the mid 1990’s was fueled by a generous grant from theGE Foundation and the energy of the sitting Dean of Engineering at the time, Dr. RichardKenyon (now retired). This effort allowed the faculty to step back and rethink the objectives ofengineering education and how it was delivered. Part of this effort was to take a close look at theentire sequence of engineering mechanics courses that are offered to engineering students. Thesituation at Union College is somewhat unique because of the size of the program. Union pridesitself in small classes. The total student body is approximately 2000 students of which onlyabout 350 are engineering students. The

Unfortunately, thepreparation of most faculty does not include a course on tenure implications, nor does it includeextensive guidance about teaching and publishing. Teaching may have been emphasized duringgraduate study or it may have been totally neglected. Perhaps the best preparation for publishingcomes in the form of writing a thesis or dissertation and having it published in various venues. AsAaron S.
