Most responses (85%) were received from theWest/Mid-West region of the United States, and the results presented in this work reflects thesefindings. The answers were considered as those from potential participants indicating theirpersonal preferences on different aspects of the program. In this survey, participants were askedseveral questions relating to professional development for engineering educators in college andindustry. 2-year academic Non-profit institution, organization 89

If a student has a goal of obtaining a Master’s degree in SystemsEngineering or a related field, one or two courses may be transferable into a formal Mastersprogram

The undergraduates rangedfrom freshmen to seniors. During a university-wide education abroad fair in late September,more than 150 students signed up to join the general membership of SEAC. General membersdo not attend the regular Council meeting, but are placed on a listserv and receive regularannouncements related to international education, primarily in the form of a monthlynewsletter. Called “Engineering Escapades Abroad,” this was sent to the SEAC generalmembership by email for the first time in February 2007. It contains information aboutscholarship and program

mathematicsclasses, science classes and technology classes, and informally through experiences inplaces such as science museums and discovery centers. NCETE emphasizes introducingengineering design and analysis formally through standards-based instruction intechnology classes. One question that should be addressed is: Why did NCETE choose tointroduce engineering concepts in technology classes? Why not work with K-12 scienceor mathematics teachers? The answer most simply stated is that design taught intechnology education in K-12 is most closely related to engineering design. NCETEinvestigators think exposing K-12 students to engineering design will excite youngpeople about the engineering profession. Furthermore, technology education exposesstudents to open
cycle more competitive. This requires working engineers toengage in lifelong learning to meet the needs of employers and to keep current with the availableengineering tools in the workplace. Traditional graduate school includes barriers such as timecommitment, travel, as well as program costs. These barriers limit access to graduate educationparticularly for those in the workplace who are not at liberty to take time away from work toattend classes and travel to a university campus. Typical educational resources in industry areoften limited to short workshops and software training classes which focus on the use of the toolrather than its theoretical foundation and application to solve real-world engineering problems.While willing to invest in
