Acombination of lectures, case studies, laboratory demonstrations, interviews, video site visits andteam-based collaborative analysis of engineering failures and their implications (societal,environmental, economic, legal, psychological) has proved successful in teaching the role ofengineers and engineering in society, as well as

This was supported by theadaptive nature of this course, which is continually redesigned to maintain its relevance in thearea of technology. Thus, new technology components are implemented every two years, whilemaintaining the historical elements of industry practices that do not waiver, such as the history ofthe Internet and Circuitry.The course under examination not only contains a lecture component, but a hands-on computerlab component, which include the simulations.

Learned” paper is to investigate how former graduate studentleaders can employ their experiences to achieve and excel in service requirements as juniortenure-track faculty members. Research skills, and increasingly teaching ability, have been coreto the graduate student curriculum, and match the majority of faculty tenure requirements.However, preparation for the service requirement is often overlooked at both the graduatestudent and faculty level. While a small part of the overall tenure package, there is an unspokenpresumption that faculty members will be able to serve effectively and efficiently. In STEMcurricula, the development of interpersonal skills is often overlooked. While this may not be animpediment in research communications, faculty

Freshman CourseMuch research in recent years has verified that an active learning style approach to freshmanengineering design courses adds value to undergraduate engineering programs and improvesretention rates. Many universities have established First Year Programs to coordinate theactivities and classes for first year students. However, not all universities have the funds toestablish programs separate from disciplinary programs. How can faculty that are not assignedto a First Year Program efficiently manage multiple sections of a hands-on course with limitedresources?There are several models for teaching basic engineering concepts in electrical, mechanical,chemical, computer, civil and system engineering to freshman engineering students

laboratories can no longer accommodate afull class. Instructors, accustomed to small, intimate class sizes where they could learn everystudent’s name within the first week, are now facing larger groups where students can easily slipinto anonymity.In the past decade, teachers began incorporating more active-learning activities and hands-ondesign projects. The freshman-level courses, in particular, benefitted from this change inphilosophy. Now, it should be noted that, at TU, freshmen select a major as they enter theuniversity. The introductory classes are discipline-specific and each department teaches theirfreshmen. In chemical engineering, the freshman year has a two-course sequence.
