. Externalbenchmarking with engineering librarians at peer institutions provided a broader perspective on bestpractices and innovative approaches to supporting engineering education. The findings emphasizedthe importance of strengthening faculty-library partnerships to address these challenges effectively.By cultivating collaborative relationships, libraries can play a pivotal role in supporting facultyteaching goals while enhancing the educational experience for students. This partnership-drivenapproach paves the way for innovative instructional practices.This paper emphasizes the transformative potential of faculty-library collaboration in fosteringstudent-centered learning environments.

professional engineering organizations, which are nowconsidering increased educational requirements for licensure.One of the major changes brought on by the computer revolution are the tools and computationalavailable for education and professional practice. As the tools and computational resourcesadvance, a perennial question is what should be taught in introductory structural analysiscourses. Coupled with that question is what is an engineer, as opposed to an engineeringtechnician, and what do we expect engineers to do in the future. The real question for structuralengineering education is “What must a structural engineer know to be prepared for professionalpractice upon graduation and to successfully adapt to change that is inevitable over the 45

Page 23.317.2Unfortunately, most of the graduates do not perform well in required introductory computing coursesdue to lack of preparation and interest in STEM subjects, especially computing in K-12 levels. Educatorsare challenged to find ways to address this problem. The STARS (Students & Technology in Academia, Research & Service) Student Leadership Corps (SLC), STARS SLC (http://www.starsalliance.org/leadershipCorps.html), a NSF funded initiative at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, is designed to aid the educators in addressing this challenge. The primary objective of STARS SLC is broadening participation in computing through best practices and community building, and there is an alliance of more than 40 academic
periodic qualitative assessment would identifyopportunities for improving interactions and promote the sharing of best practices. Also, studentlearning outcomes are becoming more dependent on multiple departments. A morecomprehensive qualitative assessment approach applied to a college, such as that outlined in ourmodel, could provide valuable feedback. Other examples where the model might be appliedinclude distributed research centers, distance education curricula that involve multiple sources,and linked institutions such as community colleges in a state system. In each of these examples,multiple entities share a common educational mission, but are only minimally linkedoperationally. This relationship makes the assessment scheme outlined above a

Increasing the level of difficulty with each year of education ● emphasis on team-projects with effective individual accountability for contribution, co-op experiences that are coordinated with the student's current educational coursework. ● The most important and relevant skill that the industry needs but is completely absent in virtually every graduate is the ability to THINK! System thinking, complex problem solving, change management, robust engineering are highly recommended. ● Communication (incl. presentation, public

When looking at the research in regards topredicting which institutions did the best job, it was noted that for both minority and non-minority engineering schools, selectivity was the most important predicator of degree attainment.Additionally, the more expensive institutions with higher selectivity had the higher graduationrates for all students18. These graduation rates have remained unchanged since the 1980’s. Based on the information here one would think that engineering schools would havesome idea as to why their numbers continue to decline. But this does not seem to be the case. Page 7.4.5

Other ASEE papers have addressed specific standards, citingrelated research, and giving examples of best practice. (See the attached Bibliography forexamples.)The twelve CDIO standards address program philosophy (Standard 1), curriculumdevelopment (Standards 2, 3 and 4), design-build experiences and workspaces (Standards5 and 6), new methods of teaching and learning (Standards 7 and 8), faculty development(Standards 9 and 10), and assessment and evaluation (Standards 11 and 12).

Similar rubrics for oral presentations, designs, and laboratoryare available.11 As mentioned above, developing rubrics takes initial effort. Once developed, rubrics must betested, and deviations between raters of the same instrument should not exceed one level. It israre that a rubric will prove satisfactory without modifications after testing, and periodic re-evaluation and modification are also necessary. Once performance criteria and/or attributes aredefined, the best way to proceed is to define what superior performance is and what notacceptable performance is, i.e., the extremes should be defined first. Precisely defined wordingis necessary. For example

Classes have an impact on females in a way that they donot for males, universities should work to attract women to these kinds of programsthrough positive classroom experiences (e.g. relating engineering practice to helping Proceedings of the 2011 North Midwest Section Conferencecommunities).

invites faculty to consider learning as thefoundation upon which to frame practice. This opportunity to pause and think deeply aboutlearning moves teaching beyond technique. Whereas traditional development practices offerfaculty tips and strategies, the opportunity to critically reflect on practice and develop their ownbeliefs about learners, learning, and content engages faculty in “the scholarship of teaching”.A second and overlapping factor contributing to the impact of Project LEA/RN has been itssuccess in building community around a common purpose. In a sense, Project LEA/RN hasserved as a catalyst for a collective identity. Prior to getting involved, many faculty had beensearching for new ways to engage students in learning. Some had been

In such problems all the requiredinformation is provided, and the solution requires the application of a specific strategy that willwork for all problems

Just as traditional machine shopson campus introduce students to the realities of design and manufacture, time spent in the RPMlab can greatly enhance students' educational experiences -- and increase their ultimate value asengineers and scientists.The availability of RPM technology has benefits beyond the direct impact on manufacturingeducation. Currently, the RPM lab is the only place at Georgia Tech where students can go forfast physical prototypes of complex parts and mechanisms. We are convinced that this willbecome a critical resource for capstone design courses and interdisciplinary team projects
