With this in mind, the next step would be to evaluate theassignments that the students worked to compare against their survey responses as is planned infuture work.The CaseA simulation for a mass casualty event caused by a tornado hitting the community was plannedand executed by the Nursing department at TSU. The initial goal was for the Nursing departmentto provide a simulated experience in mass casualty treatments for their students. As the Nursingstaff proceeded to plan for the event they came to the point where they asked for help from otherareas to support their activities. Faculty and students from the Engineering Technologydepartment participated in the simulation that was run in real time

A predictive model, based on recurrent neural networks,trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation learning algorithm is proposed toforecast the runoff discharge using the past runoff discharge and gage height. Using thiscomputational intelligence modeling tool, the impact of discharge and gage height to the long-run discharge forecast accuracy was studied. Our experimental results indicate that the proposedlearning algorithm can successfully train the recurrent neural network for the runoff

In the LSE program,iterative revision and recreation of an individualized curriculum and career plan are understoodas signs of success rather than failure or deviation. Students are encouraged to understand anddesign their major as a “whole-person technical degree” that does not require them to pass, toassimilate, to compartmentalize, or to conform to stereotypes. We suggest that this holisticflexibility may disrupt barriers such as impostor syndrome by positioning the student not asimpostor but as designer and creator – even when enrolled in technical courses in which thesex/gender ratio is skewed male.

. Anticipating and acting on future developments would enable engineeringprograms to prepare, but there is little consensus on its future in 10 years. IEEE created aCurricula and Pedagogy committee (CPC) and charged it to forecast the future of ECEeducation and to make recommendations regarding roles that IEEE will play in preparing forand crafting that future. As an initial step, the committee engaged in a scenario planningexercise1,2,3,4 to consider possible trends in engineering education. Then, the committeedeveloped and administered a survey to confirm and revise trends that emerged from scenarioplanning. With over 2100 respondents, these survey results can inform conversations aboutthe future of ECE education. Results of the scenario planning
