Environmental regulations, strict quality requirements and the constant drive toincrease manpower productivity reinforce this trend; processes without modern automation donot survive. The displacement of the middle skill worker, who in the process industry was thefloor operator responsible for one unit operation, has been happening gradually over the last 3-4decades, replaced by a control room operator who interacts with a control system operating manyunits. Implicitly this has transferred the responsibility for control of units and processes from theoperations staff to the engineering staff. An engineer wishing to build

These rules require engineers to obtain 15 professionaldevelopment hours (PDHs) of continuing education annually, one hour of which must be in“professional ethics” or related topics.

A Masters or a Ph.D. canprovide specialized knowledge that can be of value in the workforce, either in technicalknowledge for a field or in management knowledge. The percentages of women earning upper-level degrees in engineering are low when compared to their male counterparts, leading tounderrepresentation in professor positions [1]. This may be because women finishing theirgraduate studies report feeling that women cannot get ahead and that they are overwhelmed bythe pressure of work [2]. However, obtaining an upper-level degree in engineering can lead tosalary increases and more compelling work [1]. An MBA specifically is important for careeradvancement and

To tackle the rapidly changing needs ofthe broad engineering field, industries are looking for graduates with an ability to think at a systemslevel while at the same time possessing the hands-on hardware and software skills necessary tointerface at the sub-system level. Extant literature supports that both engineering faculty andstudents desire hands-on, system-level projects early on in an engineering curriculum (e.g. [1] [2]).Additional literature supports that training engineers in design-based thinking skills is useful inbuilding and motivating core technical

Though current introductory CAD courses are sufficient atteaching students how to use CAD, there is a recommendation for more cohesion and CADusage in advanced design courses. Allowing more usage of CAD in more comprehensive designdriven courses, can allow students to more accurately simulate the product development processin industry, and thus reduce the education to industry application gap.1.0 IntroductionAs the demand increases for more innovative products to help improve the lives of consumers,the Product 1/Industrial 2 Design Engineering (PIDE) industry continues to require more effectivedesign methodologies [1].

Especially as experiential learning becomes increasingly prevalent in curriculum designand further emphasized as an important educational tool, engineering technology is beginning togain traction as both a career path and a field of study, particularly among those seeking to spendless time in the classroom. For instance, in 2014, there were over 34,000 students who graduatedwith 2-year engineering technology degrees, versus 4,409 students who graduated with 2-yearengineering degrees, even though the number of graduates with 4-year engineering degreesremained substantially higher than those with 4-year engineering technology degrees [1].As this growth continues, it is increasingly evident that more research needs to be done
