andexpectations for the profession). Today, after the launch of EC 20002 and the Engineer of 20203,negotiations between the culture/utility function continue. Leyden and Schneider recognize EC 2000’s Criterion 3 as an important driver in thechanges in FYC programs, and as an important factor within the culture/utility debate. They notethat of the 11 abilities specified for graduating engineers, only 4 of them are primarily technical.They divide the abilities in the following ways1: Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

PD (professional development) experience took place in December. I created a unit to team teach with our 8th grade science teacher, Holly. She was very excited about the experience. I shared the lesson plans with her and secured all necessary materials for the unit. I taught the first class and then we team taught the next 2 classes and then she taught the last class on her own. She felt confident by the 4th class. My second PD experience took place in May. I shared BD (another rural teacher in program)’s MagLev unit with Holly… I told her I would help her in anyway except I could not be there to teach the unit… We are planning on meeting this summer to plan a life science unit and maybe more

feasibility of distributing large softwareengineering projects across the academic curriculum, Tvedt et al. [12] propose that students fromdifferent courses collaborate by taking different roles in a simulated software factory, and Walkerand Slotterbeck [13] explore the teaching of large scale teamwork in a small college environmentby using multi-semester, multi-course projects that require students to work together in teams.The objectives of Fenwick et al.’s, Tvedt et al.’s, and Walker and Slotterbeck’s work are broad andrelated to bringing an entire curriculum closer to real-world software engineering practiceswhereas the objectives of the work reported in this paper are focused on knowledge and skillsparticular to software project management.3

lead women to think that they are not a fit forcareers in engineering. The authors describe several ways in which women have differentexperiences from men, particularly in confronting sexist environments or supervisors. Inaddition, particularly for women, the authors write, a boring or mundane internship can leadstudents to question whether they belong in engineering at all.The accounts presented in this paper add to this story by highlighting the experiences of studentsat and after graduation. One caveat, however—our sample is somewhat different from Seron etal.’s in that they followed engineers through their undergraduate experience whereas we selectedengineers at career launch (the end of or shortly after their undergraduate experience).

increase their commitment to teaching may help, but continuing tohire new faculty whose primary emphasis and interests is in research, inevitably doesreinforce existing cultural norms that favor research over teaching.Facilitate and Support Faculty in Acquiring Relevant Practical Experience:Encourage faculty members, particularly the young, to get involved with the practicein their locale, and devise equitable system(s) that allow faculty to gain theengineering experience they desperately need, in order to keep up with newdevelopments in their areas of specialization. Thus asserting the view thatengineering faculty “with practical experience under their belt” would, in general,make better teachers. Administrator (deans, chairs, and decision makers

We have put a lot of emphasis on needing to educate this influx of international students that academic integrity is very important here.[26]Several studies conducted in the 1990’s pointed to academic dishonesty and cheating being onthe rise, but found that courses in ethics could reduce the students’ propensity to engage inunethical academic or business practices.[21] All of these solutions, which were focused onstudents, would probably not be able to be put in place by a single instructor or in one course, butrather need to be addressed, supported and

classroom and as homework, that use of the approach be integrated in both classand lab settings, and that use be expanded to course pre-requisites as well as follow up/advancedcourses. Overall, the use of experimental centric approaches to learning and teaching appears tooffer a promising method of increasing and enhancing circuits based classes so that futureengineers will be better able to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. Further research isneeded on the role of faculty teaching style, specific course content, and long-term achievementoutcomes.References: 1. Suitts, S.
