Tricamo, New Jersey Institute of Technology Page 22.825.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Implementing the Master’s for Engineering Professionals Degree at NJITAbstract This paper reports on a plan for implementing a Master’s for Engineering Professionals atNew Jersey Institute of Technology. The Master’s for Engineering Professionals is intended forthe early career development of engineers in industry. It teaches the skill sets and abilitiesrequired of these
, andthey can use the help function to reverse engineer it. By year two, the students will have had an introductory course in structured programming and thus, will be expected to do more extensivewriting of the test code. For the digital systems class, the students will be expected develop a testplan for verifying the logic levels of a basic logic gate IC given the standard datasheet for thepart. As the students learn the fundamentals of sampling theory in Signals and Systems, moresophisticated labs such as testing a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) become possible. For theMicroprocessor class, the students will be required to write test scripts

The right mix of hard and soft skills is important andshould be included as a competency in engineering and technology education.Sheppard, et al. studied current engineering education practice at several major universities, andfound that the primary emphasis on acquisition of technical knowledge is not adequatelypreparing students for professional practice. In their review of education literature, they breakdown the types of knowledge used by engineers into seven types of knowledge. Undergraduateeducation is focused on four of those types: Theoretical
provide a nearlyseamless pathway from school to full-time employment.IntroductionA critical component of the US industrial base is the development, production, deployment, andutilization of semiconductor devices. This industry relies on a high number of specially trainedengineers to accomplish these missions. As semiconductor technologies have continued toadvance, severe demands have been placed on educational institutions to properly preparestudents for the technical rigors of employment. To maintain exceptional student development,strong partnerships between industry and academia are a necessity.Electrical engineering coursework has many fundamental aspects to it. However, advancingtechnologies require continuous updating of content in many

They quickly realize that their undergraduate degree hasprovided them with an appreciation for technical fundamentals and principles of science and hasshown them they can be successful learners – all good achievments. Their undergraduate degree,however, has all too often not prepared them to step into the engineering profession or beproductive on day one. Many skills must still be developed on the job. This is likely to alwaysbe true to some extent, but there are educational activities that could accelerate the professionalmaturation process.In the words of Gulfstream‟s Rob Wolz, Director of Project Engineering: “New engineeringprofessionals at Gulfstream do not have formal training needed to contribute to the

Proactive safety managementapproaches may include implementation of new technologies that facilitate real-time monitoringand information sharing as well as enhancing the role of designers to integrate constructionsafety into the design phase [3], [4], [5]. One barrier to integrating construction safety into designis the fact that civil engineering students may lack experience or coursework in construction [5],[6], [7]. ABET, for instance, does not require civil engineering programs to expose students tothe fundamentals of construction safety [5].A study on safety emphasis in university civil

During the programming of the app, the students in this project had trouble withgetting some of the fundamental app forms designed with standard controls and layouts. Theback-end programming was done with a third student that had excellent programming skillsrecognized by the instructor and was able to successfully write code that could interface with theclient’s services through a class library that was provided.
