He is also a Senior Lecturer in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. Dr. Stickel first came to the Faculty when he started as an undergraduate in 1993. Since that time, he has completed his BASc (1997), MASc (1999), and a PhD (2006) - all with a focus on electromagnetics and the development of novel devices for high-frequency wireless systems. He has a great interest in engineering education and the

Thus engineering education’s framing of issues as problemsmay serve to create an engineering education system that gives rise to, or exacerbates, thoseperceived problems. For example if it is widely believed there is a significant retention problemin engineering a possible solution would be to create a new first year course to better prepare1 In the late 1920’s a group of investigators from Harvard University were able to observe people at work in theWestinghouse Electrical Company’s works in Chicago.

His team also assisted in the deployment of 84 TACMAV systems in 2005. Around that time he volunteered as a science advisor and worked at the Rapid Equipping Force during the summer of 2005 where he was exposed to a number of unmanned systems technologies.

These are social,emotional, and cultural competencies, which help a person relate to others in the targetcommunity (in the case of our study, the computer science department). Essentially,competencies are skills and abilities that enable relating and connecting. They are what allowrelationships to form and people to interact. Without competencies, one would miss social
