A participant might choose todiscuss the importance of a diverse engineering community or describe how s/he interacts withstudents and colleagues with different backgrounds and experiences. At the very least, a diversitystatement provides future faculty with the opportunity to demonstrate that they have givenserious thought to the issue. Discussing diversity issues and inclusive teaching practices withyour peers provides a good foundation for the topic comes up in more formal settings, such as acampus interview or proposal review.The design principles above are founded on a variety of theoretical perspectives about learning,teaching, and

. Hoover was a prolific (and sometimes eloquent) writer—often more coherent than like-minded contemporaries, such as Arthur Morgan. As engineering educators, we should befamiliar with two of his more important political tracts: American Individualism (1922) and TheChallenge to Liberty (1934). We should also be familiar with the first volume (of three) of hisMemoirs: Years of Adventure (1952). George H. Nash wrote an excellent, multi-volumebiography, the first volume of which, The Life of Herbert Hoover: The Engineer (1983) bears onHoover’s engineering career. Finally, the eighth chapter of Edwin T.

Composers expressed love in their music: love of nation, love of nature, love ofman, along with the spirits of immortality and independence. Interestingly, the pianobecame the most popular instrument.5.7. 20th Century and Modern Music (1900 AD-present)The music from the 1900’s to today has shown searches for new experiences. There hasbeen radical experimentation, deregulation, and permissiveness.6. Engineering HistoryThe term “engineering” is from a Latin word meaning ingenious [5]. The history ofengineering is rich, as rich as the history of music, with a great number of changesoccurring in the last few centuries.Some texts

Students responded to web-based statements using a scale of 1-5 (stronglydisagree – strongly agree). The responses (Table 1) for the project were compared to theaverages for USMA, the department, and the course depending on what level the statements weregenerated at.This design-build project was one of 20 separate capstone projects during the spring

feedback, and in so doing, learn animportant professional development tool.IntroductionSince the 1980's there has been substantial research on the ways writing can improve learning inscience and engineering.1 “Writing-to-learn” research has been guided by the theory thatlanguage does not merely reflect knowledge, rather knowledge is constructed through language.Perhaps because of this theoretical orientation, writing-to-learn research has focused on informalor expressive modes of communication to promote learning. However, research on the effects ofteaching scientific genres of communication has been less well documented.2 In our work, weattempt to understand how learning to write scientific genres of communication can improve theacquisition of

the courses, and results from teaching it for three semesters.3.1 CET 415 ObjectivesThis section discusses CET 415’s objectives regarding the student’s experience withmanaging requirements, communicating with developers and customers, releasingversions of software, and performing project planning and management.CET 415 uses projects from real customers. While using real customers is not in itselfinnovative, it is a vital, mandatory component for an applied software process class.Software development requires communication among many different stakeholders,among them developers, customers, end users, project managers, and removing one ofthose roles limits the experience. Customers for the class were taken both from insideand outside the
