Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (Fundamental)IntroductionIn spite of efforts to diversify the engineering workforce, the profession remains largelydominated by White, male engineers [1]. Better approaches are needed to attract and retainunderrepresented groups to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers,such as engineering.One literacy-based approach that has been shown to provide effective instruction for K-12students generally, and students from underrepresented groups specifically, is DisciplinaryLiteracy Instruction (DLI). DLI utilizes knowledge of the ways advanced practitioners read,interpret, and generate discipline-specific content in their professional environment to apprenticestudents
seeking behaviors of undergraduate engineering students, initiallyincluding information behaviors of undergraduate students in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. Developing a search strategy was a complexprocess that required balancing the need to be as comprehensive as possible with limitingthe noise inherent in a search that includes such wide reaching terminology such as“education” “undergraduate engineering” and “information seeking”. Information wascollected on population, demographics, country of origin, sample size, engineeringdiscipline, communications, experiences, theories, models, and dates.SearchA comprehensive search strategy was built for each database by a practicing engineeringand instructional design

technologydevelopment in the past decades. The portrait of China is changing from the Red Queen inAlice’s Adventures in Wonderland who runs unstoppably to catch up the pace of Western countries(Breznitz & Murphree 2011), into an awakening evil giant who is hurting American interestsand democracy by stealing IP and trade secrets. (FBI Press Conference, December 2018).The technological and economic hostility, unfortunately, have permeated into theuniversity engineering education, including the agency’s new background checks and otherrestrictions on Chinese students (Zengerle & Spetalnick 2018). These episodes convey amessage that the world is re-entering a new Cold War on not nuclear power, but IT power;this time the enemy is not Russia, but China
2019 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition Wireless water monitoring system and portable analysis platform product development in academiaAbstractClean water is important for public health and people have become more vigilant of monitoringpotentially contaminated drinking water. In this project, students were advised to seek a solutionto detect contaminated water by conducting market research on the industry and the public’sneeds, then based on these results, to engineer the device. After extensive customer discoverythrough the Texas A&M University National Science Foundation Innovation Site Program (NSFI-Site) that focuses on technology commercialization, students found that water quality isespecially

The goal of this investigation is to identifythe impediments that civil engineering, and construction faculty identify, perceived or otherwise,in attaining tenure in US universities. In addition, a comparison between requirements ispresented, based on the Carnegie Classification of the schools these faculty belong.MethodologyThe survey took place in the fall of 2016, and the results were combined with the responses of aprevious survey that was performed the previous year [7]. The reason, for combining the surveyresults were: The survey questions were kept the same, The first survey sampled Construction Engineering, Construction Management, and Civil Engineering Technology Faculty, disciplines

The library features a second-floor quiet area with over 45,000 physical books,an online collection of close to 3,000 engineering journals, as well as a room with 3D scanners,virtual reality glass, and a Tool Library consisting of close to 225 tools ranging from hand toolsto measuring equipment to specialty technology kits. Students are able to check out these tools asneeded, with some of the most popular items being digital calipers, thermal camera, 3D scanners,pH sensors, multi-meter and 25-foot tape measure.

conveniences and entertainment.While largely positive changes have resulted from the use of technology, engineers should alsocarefully weigh the potential for negative outcomes. The process of reasoning and judgementaround the development and application of technology needs to be cultivated among engineers,and is therefore recognized among the accreditation requirements for engineering degreeprograms [1]. Training students to bolster their ability to recognize their role in ethics andsocietal issues (ESI) is therefore an important concern.Students pursue engineering and computing majors due to a variety of motivations.
