. They haveconfidence that they will be employable when they leave the program because they perceive thathow they are learning replicates how they will function when they get into the work world. Thepresent relationship with faculty gives them confidence that they could continue to seek usefuladvice from their professors after they complete their degree—the continuation of a professionalrelationship that could be life long. As one student said, s/he was “proud to be an engineeringstudent.” Page 7.97.6 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and Exposition Copyright American

new roles, but also to expand enrollments in engineering. Thiswill also increase the opportunities for engineering school graduates in the market place. Firmslike Anderson Consulting have become hot new work place for engineering grads. According toa 1998 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, 9.7 percent of offersmade to students with technical majors came from consulting service firms, more than any otherfield. These firms are looking for people who combine technological know how with businessacumen and communication skills. In the business world, the multi-talented have a clearadvantage.Bibliography1.

First, they need to understand shear and moment diagrams and the differencebetween simply supported and cantilevered beams. Second, the flexure equation shouldbe introduced: Mc s = ILast, the students need to know what a strain gage is and how it works.

. The root of the problem might be in scholars' unwillingness to crossdisciplinary boundaries. As Ancarani (1995: 653) argued, “there has been relatively little contactto date between scholarship in international relations or political economy and the advances inscience and technology studies.... As a result, basic analytic concepts, including ‘globalization’and science and technology themselves, have been taken for granted and have not beenproblematized to a far greater degree than in more traditional areas of S&T research, such aslaboratory studies or controversies.”Furthermore there are significant conceptual and empirical problems with social theories thatmake implicit a possible role for engineers in globalization.

In parallel communication format, all data bits are transferred at the same timethrough a computer data bus, while in serial communication, bits are transferred through one data line ina pulse format. Parallel data must be converted to serial data form prior to transmission to the outsideperipheral device(s). The serial data received by the computer from an outside peripheral device mustbe converted back to a parallel format and then placed on the computer data bus [2]. The parallel dataon the computer data-bus is represented by either zero or five volts (0V or 5V). However, the serialdata
