Surety bonds protectowners and general contractors against the risk of business failure of firms they hire. In contrast, Bonfire participants engaged in little, if any, risk management. Students suchas Joe may well have not recognized the dangers of the practices used in the Bonfire, including: 1. An informal design change process 2. Inadequately trained workers 3.

covering polymers, a student asked whether the material used by hisemployer would be considered an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. He identified thematerial only by its proprietary trade name, and it was not a material that I was familiar with, so Ihad to tell him that I did not know the answer to his question. I then focused the class discussionon resources for identifying and evaluating polymer materials. In this case, we were able to usereference materials in the classroom to identify the material in question. Making a shortdeviation from the lecture plan was time well spent because the students were able to participatein a problem-solving activity stemming from a real-world question

Wealso discussed the increasing cost of health care with a case study of Brian Williams, a youngman that received a heart transplant after being on an experimental extracorporeal left ventricularassist device for four months. (See the case study “Was Brian Williams’s Treatment Worth thePrice?” in Appendix 4.) I remember a wide array of opinions about this subject. At that time,about a third of the class wished to attend medical school, a third wished to continue withgraduate school, and the remaining third were planning to enter the biomedical engineeringindustry.

surrounding counties, and we plan on increasing the scope of those events. These include day and night time events where high school students get the opportunity to meet one-on-one with Valencia engineering faculty and faculty in other disciplines. This increases the students’ exposure to what engineering is and what it entails as far as high school and college prerequisites. This also gives the student a vital early focus on what his or her goals are whether in the engineering field or not. This year, Valencia has significantly increased our participation with the local high schools, including among other events participation in the Annual Orange County Science and Engineering Fair held February 2002.Another tool available to us to

A multidisciplinary facility, shared between ECE and MAE classes would allow efficient use of space and equipment, better use of available funds, and elimination of overlap among individual departmental labs. Focusing experiments on a single device rather than a plurality of devices would result in economies of space, money and student time.To achieve these goals we carefully planned the new laboratory. As part of this process, weconsulted with local industry.

However, the evaluation of department members is a majorresponsibility of a chair. Professional development and performance counseling should bethe cornerstones of an effective faculty evaluation system3. For example, in professionaldevelopment of faculty, a chair’s objective should be collective as well as individualdevelopment by involving faculty in planning activities, by taking calculated risks and bysecuring maximum institutional support. As for performance counseling, this should be acontinuous process rather than an
