The hope is that the analyses will spur refinement andstimulate additional program startups. The three universities contributing to this paper are: • Purdue University, a mid-western land grant institution in the USA, has developed and gained both institutional and state approval to offer such a doctorate. In securing such approval, an extensive needs assessment was conducted, and this was followed by a soft- start pilot program. Subsequent to these two activities, a proper first cohort was recruited and

ReadinessAbstractColleges of Engineering have increasingly emphasized the importance of engineering studentsobtaining professional skills relating to global readiness. This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

The research study occurred at a large,mid-Atlantic research-oriented university. In Fall 2012, first-year students who intended to majorin engineering were asked to participate in the study. The students had just started theirundergraduate studies approximately two weeks prior to receiving an invitation to participate. InApril 2013, senior engineering students, two weeks away from graduation, were also invited toparticipate. The creativity study was embedded in a larger

Lab procedures are included to test andverify the frequency response of a compensated operational amplifier. The closed loop frequencyresponse is then proved algebraically for both the inverting and the non-inverting configurations,and lab procedures are included to test them.
