, compelling, and interactive ways.1 Simultaneously, our insatiable desire for more electronics functionality and higherperformance computing – increases the demand for companies to hire students with advancedskills in science, math, engineering and technology. Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)degree programs are exhibiting large enrollments in engineering schools. According to John Wiley& Sons, Inc., the circuit analysis, electronics, and signals & systems market is estimated to involvemore than 100,000 students in 2003-2004. This large population generates a tremendous need forinteractive educational materials that are able to cover a broad spectrum of engineering conceptsand applications. ECE degrees also open doors to other
Session 2793 The Continuum of Distance Learning in Engineering Education John W. Martin, Ed.D., M.B.A., Mohammed E. Haque, Ph.D., P.E. Texas A&M UniversityAbstractDistance education has rapidly emerged in the global university. The American Council ofEducation estimated that 85 percent of traditional colleges and universities offered, or soonwould offer distance accessible classes. China alone produces more than 100,000 graduates, withmore than half of China’s 92,000 engineering and technology graduates having attained theirdegrees through distance education.

Today, Lehigh University is oneamong many organizations in the process of implementing the free Course Management System(CMS), Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment). The goal of thesoftware application is to allow course documentation, administration, and teaching to be simpleand available for students and faculty at all times. For the past ten years, Blackboard has beenthe official CMS for Lehigh University. Moodle has been under pilot testing since the Spring of2009 but is now mandatory and replaces Blackboard in the Fall

inengineering by producing a legitimate artifact and producing knowledge.DiscussionDominant engineering paradigms often rely on having resources. As indicated by Wachs [48],engineers have been masters of technology driven mostly by economic motives and influencedby corporations and government. Rasquachismo, on the other hand, is a model that has beenappropriated by those who do not have resources and embrace ambiguity, ingenuity, andresourcefulness - rasquachismo is rooted in experience for survival and resistance. Nonetheless,rasquachismo also becomes a vehicle to the world of engineering. Similar to engineering,rasquachismo seeks to (1) generate potential solutions to a problem, (2) accomplish simple tasksthrough complex ingenuity, (3) generate

does afford ussomething very important as engineers. It allows us to consider a much broader range of“clients”, many more than our simply paying our salaries. It also provides us with amechanism whereby we can refuse ethically to work on a particular project even thoughthe device itself may meet basic safety requirements. We also may refuse to work onprojects that held paramount public safety but excluded considerations of theenvironment or the impact our device might have upon a community.There is little doubt within the scientific community that the Earth’s climate is changingand that it is the activities, that is, the technologies of humankind that are playing asignificant role in producing the changes.

How does previous professionaldevelopment and engineering teaching experience affect teachers’ knowledge of the engineeringdesign process?Fifty-nine in-service elementary teachers from second, third, and fourth grade classrooms in anurban school district attended a week-long workshop on how to incorporate engineering,technology, and design into their classrooms. Twenty-three of these teachers had attended asimilar workshop the summer before (Cohort 1), and they also taught at least one unit and up tofour units of the “Engineering is Elementary” curriculum during the school year. The other 36teachers (Cohort 2) had not received any training, nor did they

The team has been working since September 2002 todevelop a new scalable and deployable industrial engineering baccalaureate-degree model. Thismodel is designed to permit scaling up from an information technology kernel of coursework to afully integrated industrial engineering undergraduate curriculum. Three aspects of the newcurriculum plan are described in this paper.OverviewDuring the mid 1960s, a study group sponsored by NSF and ASEE
