graduate qualitiesAnother strategy that greatly assisted the development of inclusive curricula for engineering wasan approach to curriculum development adopted by our university that focuses on graduateoutcomes. The University of South Australia has identified seven generic ‘qualities’ as desirablein its graduates and the design of each program must now demonstrate how it will enablegraduates to acquire these qualities.The seven qualities are: 1. Graduates will be able to operate effectively with and upon a body of knowledge of sufficient depth to begin professional practice. 2. Graduates will be prepared for life-long learning in pursuit of ongoing personal development and excellence in their professional practice. 3. Graduates

In fact, according to Hanover research, one key element forretention practices among higher education institutions in the United States and Canada is socialconnectedness [4].College students not only develop the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a professionalcareer after they graduate, but also explore social connections throughout their collegeexperience. Most universities provide many opportunities for students to join various studentorganizations on campus. For example, some of the engineering organizations include studentchapters of professional organizations, including Society of Women Engineers
describes how student research and industry projects can benefit through jointuniversity-industry collaboration by introducing new technology for replacing inefficient andoutdated systems and software. This research project involves development of a fullycustomizable, user-defined hardware-software suite for automated signal routing with an openended functionality profile. This intelligent switching system can be customized and employed inany industry where there is a need for programmable, timed, and/or simultaneous routing ofanalog or digital signals between devices. Potential applications of these automated switchingsystems include, but are not limited to: demarcation points, test floors, redundant backupsystems, remote maintenance, etc. This

particularfluid mechanics theory - for example the concept of convective acceleration - flow in convergingnozzle can be measured experimentally, and this can be correlated to the theory. In addition thePIV system can be used in senior design classes to visualize the actual flow in a prototype. It willprovide a physical grasp of the theory, and a real appreciation of how the theory is applied indaily life situations. Correlations between the theory and actual flow visualization helps studentsand educators to fully understand the issues and benefits of fluid mechanics in a wide range ofapplications spanning from the fluid machinery to emerging applications, such as environmental,biological and micro-scale flows.Design optimization is a common practice in

This model is based on ourdecade-long study of the National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) Engineering ResearchCenter (ERC) Program, which has witnessed great success in graduating science and engineeringleaders over the past three decades. In the pages that follow, we first briefly illuminate the impetus for engineers to learnleadership skills, and why this is particularly valuable early in one’s career. Then, we outline thesuccess the ERC Program has enjoyed in developing science and engineering leaders. Third, wedescribe our research methods that led to our

Studies haveidentified field-based infrastructure projects, in which students design an infrastructure projectfor a community other than their own and travel to implement that project, such as EngineersWithout Borders (EWB), as one of the largest HE outlets for young engineers. For instance,EWB has been seen as an intermediate step for socially engaged engineers [26], and an importantcomponent of professional HE training [27]. Because these field-based infrastructure projects areone of the most prominent and accessible introductions in HE for undergraduate students, manyHE graduate programs provide mentorship and resources to these programs
“and that's why we’re emphasizing math and science. That's why we’re emphasizingteaching girls math and science.” This was followed by the White House creation of theSTEM Master Teacher Corp as a new initiative in July 2012. However, it is still not wellunderstood exactly what factors affect persistence in undergraduate STEM majors andwhere the focus should be placed in order to improve persistence. There is a need forfurther research to help shape policies directed at improving the participation of womenin STEM undergraduate studies.NSF-20122 data for the 2009 high school graduating class showed that women are nowwell represented in advanced math and science high school courses.
