The program initially was a mixture of hardware and software and wasentitled a Master's of Engineering Science (MES) in Digital Systems.Target AudienceThe intended audience of the program has changed quite a bit since the program's inception in1977. The original audience was almost entirely hardware and software engineers. It wasdesigned primarily for engineers who had been out of school for more than 10 years and whoneeded to be brought up to date with the current state of
Foundation-sponsored coalition of engineering schools. The participatinginstitutions are Clemson University, University of Florida, Florida A&M University–FloridaState University, Georgia Institute of Technology, North Carolina A&T University, NorthCarolina State University, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Virginia PolytechnicInstitute and State University. The coalition began its second five-year funding period in 1997with a mission of scaling up and institutionalizing the educational reforms developed and pilot-tested in the first five years.A major component of the Year 6–10 effort is the design and implementation of a coalition-widefaculty development (FD) program. The program objectives are (1) to promote faculty
students as possible. 2. To determine the optimal applicability of virtual reality to engineering education. 3. To develop a knowledge base of techniques for the display of, and interaction with, scientific and technological information and concepts in a virtual world, that can later be applied to practical engineering problemsThis paper outlines our findings to date regarding the second goal, which encompasses not onlyhow to produce effective VR applications, but also the identification of which students and topicswill most benefit from VR, and how best to incorporate educational VR into the engineeringcurriculum. The modules themselves ( Vicher1, Vicher2, and Safety ) have been described in [ 1-6 ]previous papers

of their undergraduate career in subsequent coursework anddesign projects [2]. Although these fundamental skills are critical for engineering students, entry-level engineers are often unequipped for modern workplace design and manufacturingenvironments with their narrow skillsets and familiarity with techniques taught during theireducation. The advent of advanced additive manufacturing technologies such as direct metallaser sintering (DMLS) and powder bed fusion (PBF) allow for increasingly complex designsthat were previously difficult to manufacture [3]. To take advantage of this, new design andanalysis processes should be introduced to engineering students to provide increased familiaritywith modern workflows within the industry.This paper

Einsteins possess menial jobs because access to quality education was not a choice in their community? How many Black owned high-flying technology companies like Netscape and Yahoo could have been created, if access to capital was equally available in this country? How many senior level executive managers would there be in Corporate America if there was no glass ceiling?4Underrepresentation of African-Americans in engineering fields is also problematic because it couldprevent the United States from continuing to compete globally. Through the partnering and utilization oftalents within African-American and diverse groups of the United States, America will be able to sustainits leadership role in technological development

With this in mind, it is essential for the growing workforce in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to include a diverse range of individualsto expand the workforce of STEM fields. For this to happen, there must be more efforts made inhigher education to cultivate the

Since Open-Mindedness refers to receptivity to new ideas and differentpossibilities, it makes sense that it correlates with Clout as it pertains to social status, confidence,and leadership. Open-Mindedness is vital to engineering because it signifies the drive totranscend one’s own assumptions, challenge the status quo with scientific inquiry, and generateinnovations that will expand disciplinary boundaries. Furthermore, Open-Mindedness isincreasingly important for a globalized world that relies on information technology and co-creation on various STEM initiatives [32].
