A person who claims to be a professor of a discipline shouldhave an understanding of the concepts and topics in the discipline no less than the understandingthat the students graduating in the discipline have.A comprehensive, coherent and consistent design of a relevant curriculum is a very seriousmatter. Voting, in curricular and faculty evaluation matters in a discipline, by a professor whodoes not have the adequate background of the discipline may be guided by political and

It shouldincorporate and integrate personal, professional and educational development with closesupervision by mentors, both within the industry and academia. It is possible to complete thelearning journey in an intensive 3 year timeframe, but a more realistic 5 year timeframe

Concerned by this troubling observation, coupled with my belief thatengineers should be able to both understand and apply mathematical concepts in theircoursework and careers, I determined to investigate the cause of the problem and, if possible,evidence a potential solution to help students transfer mathematical knowledge into an applied(engineering) context.

. As indicated by the first theme, ethics is an espousedvalue, but that value is not always reflected in the curriculum. With ethics only visible in selectengineering courses, the importance of ethics to engineering education and practice might not becommunicated to students. One implication of this finding is aligning purported values withcurricular requirements. Given social-technical dualism within engineering culture and thepriority of technical subjects [26], the limited visibility of ethics or its separation from technicalcourses can continue to reinforce this false dichotomy. Another tension arises when ethics isnarrowly constrained to academic integrity. Although an important component of emphasizingethical behavior, academic integrity

Convolution for Engineers, Technologists, Scientists, and Other on-PhDs Wm. Hugh Blanton, East Tennessee State University ABSTRACT One of the more important and one of the least understood principles in electronic engineering technology is convolution. The convolution integral provides a convenient mathematical equation that expresses the output of an linear time invariant system based on an arbitrary signal, x(t), and the system's impulse response, h(t). Because the interpretation takes some effort, most instructors take advantage of the linear transformation into the frequency domain where convolution becomes simply multiplication, eg. Laplace and Fourier transforms
. While Jenkins, et.al.,(2002) describe a two-semestersequenced capstone experience that requires the technical work to be performed in the firstsemester, while professional issues are dealt with in the second semester. Farr, 2001 advocatesusing project based design experiences where the student must prepare a real product for a realclient. Still others, (Kolar(2000), Wood et.al.,2001) suggest an integrated and systematicapproach to design which spans the entire four year curriculum. In the Civil Engineeringprogram at the University of Arkansas the culminating design experience prescribed in Criteria 4has been satisfied with a course titled Senior Design, CVEG 4494, a four credit hour, singlesemester course dedicated to a culminating design

While some may see the explicit inclusion of DEI as a radical revision of ABETcriteria, a historical perspective shows that the proposed new requirements are an incrementalreform stemming from a steady evolution of ABET’s integrating professional
