Engineering Alumni, 10 and 15Year EngineeringAlumni, and members of the various Departmental and College Advisory Committees. Twoweb-based survey versions were developed and distributed with the use of Qualtrics softwarepackage. The first focused on 2 and 3 Yr Alumni. The second focused on 10 and 15Year Alumniand Advisory Committees. For both surveys and for each of the eight identified competencies,participants were first asked to rate A) the Importance – How important do you think this topic isto engineering education? (1= Not Important 5= extremely important, or No Opinion) and B)Preparation – How well have you [recent undergraduates for alumni and advisor] been preparedin these areas? (1 = Not prepared; 5 = Well Prepared; or No Opinion). Each

The two groupsdiffered in terms of their program-related admission and completion requirements, curriculumdesign and curriculum contents. Cumulative data until the first semester of the academic year2012–13 was analyzed.The total intake for GA was 16% more than that for GB. The student retention was 48% for GAand 73% for GB. This is a significant improvement in the retention of students for GB over GA.Further, from those students who aborted their programs, 53% of the total attrition for GA and71% for GB occurred in the first year of admission.These patterns showed

Time domain plots of generated functions: (a) AM signal; (b) DSBSC signal. The programmable function generator was also used to study the effects of aliasing imposed bythe sampling process. A 15-kHz square wave was sampled both with and without the anti-aliasing low-pass filter simulation found in the LPFTPL program. An aliasing frequency of 5kHz was anticipated in the signal that was processed without the filter. The Fourier series for thissquare wave is fsq(t) = A0 + A1cos(2π ×15000t) + A3cos(2 π x 45000t) + . . . (8

Furthermore, the search of international centerswas deliberately restricted to make this initial study manageable. Further evidence of thecomplexity of the innovation scene is provided by Appendix B to this paper. This presents over100 acronyms for innovation centers in the USA and across the world. Content analysis of the identified centers has revealed that universities are not alone inaddressing the innovation imperative.

In the German, Frenchand Spanish variants, GSEP scholars augment their primary STEM degree with a second BA intheir chosen foreign language, performing both coursework and their internships in the foreignlanguage while abroad; in Chinese and Japanese variants, GSEP scholars earn a minor in thelanguage and, accordingly, pursue English-centric study and internships while abroad.
