and reinforce that. Most professions have not developed a body of knowledge that specifies what an engineer should be able to do and at which level (baccalaureate, masters or equivalent, or experience) those skills should be attained. Because the civil engineering profession has developed an explicit body of knowledge, it is reasonable that the accreditation criteria should reflect and enforce those standards. Other engineering professions, while entirely reputable and respected, have not taken this initiative. • The new Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination contains questions in Hydraulics and Hydrologic Systems, Structural Analysis, Structural Design, Geotechnical Engineering

Instead of getting in the way of overall message flow, noise is a measure of sentence impurity. Excellent sentences are concise, clear, and correct. They channel clean signals. They are not full of static, glitches, and unwanted rogue waveforms. Some examples of "noise" would be dead wood (extraneous verbiage), jargon (buzz words and gratuitous frills), unnecessary passive phrasing, out of parallel phrasing, and inexact/incorrect/awkward phrasing (grammar, mechanics, punctuation, and spelling errors).

Importantly, the teacher’swriting does not explain or tell; rather, it poses one or more problems and a set of activities toaddress and explore those problems. In this way, the teacher communicates to the studentsthrough his writing, once again teaching with his mouth shut. The teacher’s presence is stillrequired during the workshop, since some supplemental oral communication and consultation isinevitably required.

Dilemmas of Macroethics: Links between Critical Thinking and Ethical LiteracyAbstractGlobal citizenship requires an understanding of global problems including the many ethicaldilemmas that muddy the waters in search of solutions to these problems. One way of lookingat and assessing a student’s ability to consider and evaluate global ethical issues is byexamining the student’s writing on challenging topics, especially in macroethics where ethicaldilemmas tend to be complex, unstructured, and downright knotty. Some challenges studentsface in analyzing ethical situations may be a result of deficits in underlying skills that preventthe student from comprehensive understanding of the problem at hand.

As such, these courses bear the responsibility of (1) instilling discipline in prob-lem solving and (2) familiarizing students with central concepts of engineering. The two goals areinextricably linked. Success in problem solving is contingent upon understanding a remarkablyfew fundamental principles. Upon first introduction to new concepts, however, students usuallylack the experience to understand how foundational those principles really are. In fact they can beadept at compartmentalizing information at the expense of building up a foundation of knowledge.While this tactic may present a hope for short term

In developing future engineers, teaching the technical fundamentals is only part of thetask; engineering programs must also develop engineers that are able to apply those skills intothe real world. Example problems are sometimes shown in classes, but lack the interactivitynecessary to instill the skill in students.

WSNs have emerged as aneffective solution applied to a wide array of problems. The increasing popularity of WSN hasmotivated computer engineering programs to provide students with a foundation in the area. Inorder to integrate wireless sensor networks concepts into our computer engineering curriculum,we have decided to integrate wireless sensor concepts in our Embedded Systems Design IIcourse. A requirement for this course is to write a research paper on the topic of Wireless SensorNetworks.
