reluctance among the engineering faculty to opening up their courses to studentsfrom outside of engineering – itself representing a potent example of the technical core ofengineering being insulated from perceived outside incursions. In fact, only one elective programin the College wanted to have its courses recognized as part of the core curriculum, which meantthe Associate Dean was eager get a class like Discovering Engineering on the books for allstudents at Purdue. Given such factors, my department head and I agreed that the time was rightto take over the effort, and the Associate Dean replied in kind by partially funding one of mygraduate students to help design and teach the next iteration of the course.We planned to offer the course again in

The concept ofincreasing the number of engineering students thereby increasing the number of graduates wasanalyzed as part of strategic planning for the School of Engineering. Key indicators found duringthis study were increased marketing, preparedness of the incoming students, retention of thosewho arrive, and the addition of new programs. This paper will only focus on the retention ofthose students who arrive each year as freshman. The School of Engineering used a simplesuggestion by one of its faculty concerning a well-known concept such as SI, supplementalinstruction, to improve retention of engineering freshman by nearly 20%.

process of combining concepts ormethods from different disciplines.34 The precursor of “multi” suggests a simple mixing withoutany additional integrative efforts of planning and coordination. This represented the start ofcrossing disciplines and focused on adding rather than integrating methods. The conscious stepof concerted inclusion occurs in the onset of interdisciplinary research.Interdisciplinary research expands upon multidisciplinary research because of the inclusion ofintegration. There is an intentional and necessary coordination of the research that goes beyondsimply mixing methods. Drawing from the general education movements arising post World WarI and from the cultural revolution of the 1960s, interdisciplinarity arose to show a

price model was developed when I worked for Unocal Corporation in the1980’s. It is based on theories developed in finance and engineering economy that are similar tothe “discounted cashflow” method of stock evaluation (Rahgozar, 2008, Becchetti et all, 2004,Rawley et al 2006). When at Unocal, my colleagues and I in the strategic planning departmentbuilt a model to forecast the stock price of Unocal during the take over fight with T. BoonePickens (McCoy, 1985). We used the model to predict the change in the stock price asinformation was relayed to the investment community. It was very accurate and was extremelyhelpful in the take over defense.The point of this project, as it was in the case of Unocal’s stock price model, is not to develop amodel

. While the former is pure digital the latter isan integrated part of a system that may have analog and RF circuits as well as sensors andactuators. It is time that digital circuit implementation is considered as a fundamental subject andtaught as a required course because it is what digital design engineers must deal with at work.Digital system implementation has become complex and critical due to a number ofimplementation choices such as small floor plans, high-speed and mixed-signal design,integration of sensors and actuators and minimum power consumption. One key issue at chip orPCB level implementation is signal and power integrity (SI, PI), which holds the key to successor failure of a digital system implementation. This topic has become so
