Faculty have a majorrole to play in helping engineering students overcome negative attitudes toward liberalism, asdoes mixing with students who have other interests. Enlargement of mind is helped by anacquaintance with the perennial problems of philosophy since the answers a person gives to theminfluence her/his thinking and behaviour. In the discussion that ends the paper, attention is drawnto recent research on the experience of students of their undergraduate education that supportssome of the contentions made in this paper.Recent

With an enrollment of over 1750 engineeringstudents, the engineering college is one of the largest undergraduate-only engineering programsin the United States.The engineering college has a long-standing reputation for excellent teaching, small class sizes,and extensive faculty-student contact and laboratory experiences. The vision of our College ofEngineering, Mathematics, and Science is to be “recognized as a leader in undergraduate …education in engineering, mathematics and science.” The College is further committed to“encourag(ing) departments to investigate opportunities for new programs which meet the needsof a changing society.”With this in mind, the fields of microsystems and nanotechnology were seen as

energy crisis has encouraged a revolution inenergy use and conservation. The paradigm shift from fossil fuels to “green” energy has alsobegun to have a major impact on college science and engineering curricula. While the nationbattles to loosen the grip of fossil fuels on the economic infrastructure, institutes of highereducation struggle to attract, retrain, and graduate innovative young minds for future careers inan increasingly demanding and complex energy industry.The difficulty in preparing a sufficient number of quality scientists and engineers reflects a long-standing national trend.

York Times(“Why Science Majors Change Their Minds-It’s Just So Darn Hard”) cites roughly 40 percent ofstudents who start out as engineering and science majors end up switching to other subjects oreventually fail to get their degree.3 The President of the United States along with industrygroups have called on colleges to graduate 10,000 more engineers along with 100,000 newteachers with majors in STEM-science, technology, engineering and math. Among a handful ofother reasons that contribute to high attrition rates, the article points out that American students,particularly gifted students with above average admission scores, likely cruised through highschool without developing disciplined habits. This is both troubling and in sharp contrast

taking but decides to do so anyway is much more aware of consequences. The person who involuntarilytakes a risk is put in danger for the very reason of not being aware of the situation. It is not only important for anengineer to keep in mind safety as well as risk in the design of a product but also if it can be misused by anyone. Ifan engineer can possibly avoid any possible dangers by thinking ahead to any way the product could be misused,then this could save lives. Three types of accidents were also discussed and they are procedural, engineered, andsystematic. Page 25.1000.8Appendix E – Sample Homework Submittal for

One student manger noted that: The main reason I joined the team was to work on an interdisciplinary project and learn from peers with different backgrounds than my own. I wanted to learn to communicate with engineers, architects, etc. and work in a collaborative environment. I treated this project as a job and I feel my peers during the two years did the same.

While previous studies concentrated on non-engineering courses,this project focused entirely on courses taken by engineering, engineering technology andtechnology students. The objective was to determine if class attendance really leads to bettergrades. This study determined 1) if a correlation exists between class attendance and studentsuccess, and if so, to what extent, and 2) if and how student attendance patterns change as theygo from freshman to junior.Project DesignSince this project involves examining student success and attendance the first
