Session Number1353 Smart Cars and Freshman Engineering Robert Balmer, George Wise, Philip Kosky Union College, Schenectady New YorkAbstract The engineering programs at Union College draw heavily upon its two-century oldtradition in the liberal arts, believing engineering to be an appropriate part of a liberal educationfor an increasingly complex technological world. Founded in 1795, Union College has a longtradition of innovation in its science and engineering programs. It was among the first college tooffer chemistry (1809), to create a bachelor’s degree in science and
Session 2793 Obstacles to a Liberal Engineering Education Martha C. Wilson University of Wisconsin, StoutI. Introduction “I ponder the grim fact that Greece, for all its art and philosophy, and Rome, for all its wealth and technology, both in the end toppled and fell. Perhaps a culture that weds competence to grace, and wisdom to know-how, would persevere and flourish where others have failed. Such a culture would have at its core a cadre of civilized engineers.”1A civilized engineer would understand and appreciate the

THE PHILIPPINE ENGINEERING EDUCATION SYSTEM 0. HawaleshkaAbstract:Due to the great influx of Philippine immigrants to North America it isof interest to local accrediting professional organizations to have a bet-ter understanding of the Philippine educational system. This paper describesthe present state of Philippine higher education with specific·emphasis onthe engineering education process and some reference to technician educa-tion. The philippines is a developing country in a painful state of transi-tion with all the social, cultural and technological upheavals that areassociated with such major changes. The cultural background coupled withan intense desire for education has created a
consequence, many engineering schools dismantled theirmanufacturing process laboratories. Attempting to rebuild the labs is prohibitively expensive, especially in lightof budget concerns and the explosion in new equipment technologies. Another complaint about traditionalmanufacturing courses having a “hands-on” lab was that it only trained students to be “shade tree mechanics”and not “real engineers”. Simply reimplementing the traditional course can not overcome these deficiencies.Several curriculums have implemented a lecture based survey course to make students aware of manufacturingtopics. Lecture courses, by their very nature, are incapable of conveying an appreciation for manufacturingissues that the hands-on labs can achieve in a limited

undesirable byproducts [9].Lead is among the most toxic elements and has widespread presence in the environment [10, 11].Common treatment technologies for lead removal include chemical precipitation and adsorption.However, precipitation becomes less effective and more expensive at high metal concentrations[12] and successful adsorption depends on finding low-cost, high-capacity sorbents [12-23] ormicroorganisms that accumulate toxic metals [24-26]. Innovative nanospheres have shownpromise for lead complexation.Despite the research progress that has been made, there is very little effort to introducenanotechnology into undergraduate environmental engineering curriculum.

Information Graphics and Engineering DesignAbstractDocumentation for engineering design requires succinct project descriptions, often withinformation and data visualizations. In an effort to expose students to these types ofvisualizations students were asked to summarize each individual chapter of a technology-basedbook of their choice using a different visualization method. This exercise exposed students to awide range of methods and gave them tools for future engineering project document design. ThePeriodic Table of Visualization Methods1 website was used as a starting point for the types ofvisualizations students could explore. This site is an e-learning site focusing on visual literacy:the ability to evaluate, apply, or create conceptual visual
a population of well-educated and trained indigenous people be available to sustain technically based industrialoperations.A technical workforce pool should also be specifically educated and prepared to engage inentrepreneurial startup efforts that meet local needs. Well-educated engineers andscientists in developing countries will find appropriate ways to extend R&D results tomarketable products and services responsive to local needs – to their personal economicbenefits as well as to the economic benefit of their countries. Further development of suchentrepreneurial startups can lead to products and services that profitably extend toregional markets, and eventually global markets.Indigenous science and technology capacity is also
found in the majority of the programs evaluat ed. Technology Forecasting &Commercialization is a combination of several courses taught at Portland State University. Thisand other related courses in the area of technology should be developed if this program is toremain competitive.Another course that is currently taught in the department on the under-graduate level is DataProcessing Systems Engineering. Several other programs teach a similar course on the graduatelevel. Restructuring this course and adding it to the graduate curriculum would also be avaluable addition to the MSEM program.
