Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) established theJoint Task Force on Computing Curricula 2001 (CC2001) to undertake a major review ofcurriculum guidelines for undergraduate programs in computing. The effort was to match thelatest developments of computing technologies in the past decade and last through the nextdecade [1]. The “Computing Curriculum 1991” [2] and other previous efforts of the IEEE-CSand ACM did not distinguish computer science from computer engineering programs. TheIEEE-CS and ACM established the Computing Curriculum - Computer Engineering (CCCE)Task Force in 2001 to develop a separate volume on computer engineering curricula tocomplement the CC2001 report. Other task forces also emerged to prepare separate volumes forcomputer
topics in science and engineering encourages students to engage moreconfidently in an unfamiliar discipline.Several different courses, focusing on different intersections, now exist. “Representing Scienceon Stage” focuses on the intersections between science and theatre, framed by an attempt todefine “science/scientist” and “performance/performer,” and to pull apart stereotypical binarypairs--rational vs. imaginative, objective vs. subjective, intellectual vs. emotional--using playswith science as its subject matter. Another course, “Representing Science and Technology in thePopular Media” teaches literary and critical analysis through close examination of popularscience texts, particularly science journalism. It takes advantage of the students

One student indicated that she had created a portfolio in highschool and was intrigued by creating an online portfolio.Eighty-eight percent of the engineering students who participated in the fall 2003 VTeP pilotexpressed satisfaction in the experience and a desire to continue to develop their ePortfolio.They cite an advantage in being able to keep a record of achievements and job experience andfeel that the ePortfolio will benefit them in future job searches. In addition, four studentsexpressed a desire to delve deeper into the system than they had time to do during the semester.Only two of the participating students indicated that

USAF Howard University/University of Northern Colorado/USAFIntroductionWill engineering technology replace musical artists? This replacement nearly occurred inJanuary 2004 when Sir Cameron Mackintosh threatened to replace part of the LondonOrchestra in the musical Les Miserables with a “virtual orchestra.” Yet, to attend theopera and hearing synthesized music performed is akin to viewing lip-synching arias!Strange as it seems, musicians are being virtualized.

declaration: Creating a sustainable world that provides a safe, secure, healthy life for all peoples is a priority for the U.S. engineering community. It is evident that the U.S. engineering community must increase its focus on sharing and disseminating information, knowledge and technology that provides access to minerals, materials, energy, water, food and public health while addressing basic human needs. Engineers must deliver solutions that are technically viable, commercially feasible, and environmentally and socially sustainable.5Clearly, sustainability education will play a major role in providing society with engineers whoare environmentally conscious and critically aware of the global engineering

Through this process,we can help students make software testing an integral part of their coding practice with theunderstanding that testing cannot just be added on to the software at the last minute after it isproduced.Currently, we are working on a TUES (Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Type II project funded by NSF to develop a set ofinstructional materials in the form of course modules, not confined to a particular technique ortool but generalized over different aspects of

The paragraphcontinues: “The College was founded in the belief that a special need exists for physical scientists and engineers with broad enough training in the social sciences and humanities to assume technical responsibility with an understanding of the relation of technology to the rest of society.”This was the first published mission statement of the new college and it reflected the strongbelief at the time that the humanities and social sciences had a new historical role to play in theeducation of engineers and scientists. It was recognized that the professional training of engineersand scientists would require utilitarian courses in report writing
