competition was in place between the different groups tryingto find out who can determine the frequency of the incoming signal faster. Since thisexperiment was performed by the ECE freshmen only, other students wanted to get inand play with this “toy” and a plan to do so is in place for this spring semester. Thisleads me to conclude that it is not too early to introduce some practical advanced topicsto freshman students. In fact, it might be the way to connect freshmen to their major. Finally, it is important to mention here that, in addition to what has beenmentioned earlier, freshmen have used MATLAB to perform several other experimentscentered on signal processing and image processing concepts. Also, a plan is underwayto introduce digital

If research is important then they should ask for a research plan with adequate detail toevaluate the plan. If a team player is needed, then references are critical to the selection. In anycase, the selection is important, not only for the institution, but also for the candidate. A badmatch doesn’t get better with time.Once the new hire becomes the tenure stream assistant professor, then the emphasis changes. Ifthis is a person the faculty like, and want to have around for a long time, then the faculty musthelp this person through the tenure process. Mentors, directions and HELP are screaming

pressurization of the larger internal cavitybalances the external pressure and permits the use of a thin-walled confinement vessel.Evacuation of the smaller internal chamber creates a uniaxial pressure gradient useful inmaterials processing.Pro/ENGINEER has been used to document the design and construction of the device. Initialprototype design was driven by materials and components selected by students foravailability and low acquisition cost. Since sea trials were planned to validate the design,corrosion was also a consideration. Figure 6 illustrates elements of the design. Buoyancy ofthe device attributable to the inner cavity volume, necessitated the use of cement weights toachieve neutrality. Round exercise weights were used to permit rolling of

Team Gerunds' LTP was to preparea recruiting program for high school students to make them more aware of the Universityof Illinois Engineering in general and General Engineering in particular. Speci cally, theyprepared a presentation for high school science and mathematics students, and they pilotedthe presentation by presenting it at a local high school.

. Critics maintainedABET's current way of accreditation is the biggest hindrance to "new and innovative" approachesto engineering and technology education. BackgroundThe American Association of Engineering in the 1920's established the committee on Accreditedschools and called for "more comprehensive and discriminating standards" for evaluatingengineering schools [4]. Recognizing the importance of this emphasis on quality engineeringeducation in the registration process, the National Council of State Boards of EngineeringExaminers (now National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying) and parallelactivities in several major societies resulted in the formation of a Planning Committee.

Students described the benefits oflearning an effective socially engaged design process to plan their projects, engaging withstakeholders to gather important information regarding their needs, learning recommendedpractices in idea generation, and creating prototypes before coding. On the other hand, studentsdescribed perceived challenges including lacking experience in socially engaged design skillsthat may impact their ability to implement skills from the workshops effectively, identifying andconnecting with stakeholders who could provide meaningful information, and

The protocol was created for astudy that addresses the need to prepare engineering students to design sustainable solutionssuitable for a world afflicted by climate change.

As such,engineering professionals who work for both government agencies and private firms areresponsible for facilitating and participating in public meetings at some point during theircareer. To prepare for this eventuality, civil engineers must be able to facilitate effective,productive public meetings.
