advertising was focused on three regions of the U.S. – East, Mid-West, andWest for 2-year and 4-year institution faculty. Some participants were also recruited from thehigh school technical teaching population. It was planned to teach 20 faculty in each regionthrough 3-days of training. One hundred eighty applications were received to participate in thetraining. Follow-up with these faculty found 60 to be committed to the time restraints of theproject faculty. Three, 3-day, workshops were planned. These occurred in June and July. Therewere some faulty who were outside their own specific region, e.g., Mid-West, who participatedin the professional development session in another region, since distance was not a factor forparticipation.

Inanother survey question 72% of the 2007 class indicated they would probably work for a Fortune500 company. I showed them websites from local electric utilities that indicated the parentcompanies had divisions with overseas assets and trading and I indicated that engineering isbeing practiced around the world by many large companies. One of the reasons is indicated bythe data in Tables 3 and 4, namely it is cheaper. Table 3: Annual EE Salary, Table 4: Engineer Hourly Wage5 Five years Experience4 City

There is a lack of research inthis area which focuses on engineering based courses in the summer versus regular semesters.3. Differences in Course Implementation (Semester vs. Summer)In general, students were registered for a significantly more number of course credits overregular semesters (typically ~12-16 credits, implying about 4-5 courses and labs) as compared tosummer session registrations (typically ~3-6 credits, implying about 1-2 courses). In spite of this,students seemed to be generally more relaxed over the longer duration semesters (~15-weeks)when compared to the shorter duration (one-third the duration) summer sessions (~5-weeks)though they were

OverviewThe unit is primarily comprised of 5 main components, as shown in the diagram below. Fig. 1 Block Diagram of UnitWhen the unit is turned on, the GPS data logger (1) begins to record the unit’s position every 30minutes. To help ensure a clear signal is obtained, the unit must be equipped with an externalantenna. The GPS is connected to an external battery pack (5) for the GPS to last for 30+ daysof continuous operation. The integrated temperature/humidity sensor (2) samples the temperatureand humidity of the area every 30 minutes and records it in internal memory. The externalmemory unit (3) consists of a flash memory drive and its main purpose is to hold the programsneeded to extract the data when the unit

standards are popular in the engineering andtechnological communities. Because English units system is used in training the vast majority ofour engineers, technologists, and technicians, they are probably ill equipped for the global stagewhere the SI units system is the measurement language of trade and science. For instance, whencompanies from different countries work on the same technical project(s), the use of a commonunit of measure is necessary. Since the SI units system is international, this is often the preferredchoice. According to Euler [5], all new USA standards (ASTM, ANSI, SAE, IEEE, ASME, etc.)are now written in metric. This is because, the lead engineers in these organizations recognizethe importance of trying to get the USA on track

The external reviewers must be professionals in the field under review and have no personal orprofessional affiliation with members of ETSU’s faculty in the program involved in the self-study. Of thetwo to three internal consultants, one should be from within the same college as the program underreview; one should be from outside that college. The internal consultants can provide important campus-related information to external reviewers, but they are still key members of the reviewing team, providinginsight from within the university but outside of the program. The team needs to be approved by
diversified and provide students withopportunities to examine topic areas that include mechanical and electrical systems, safety,business administration, residential construction, real estate, and management. It is impossiblefor small civil engineering technology programs with a construction emphasis to encompass allof these expertise areas. As industry looks for students with a knowledge base in these areas, itis incumbent upon programs to find avenues to provide these educational opportunities to theirstudents.To meet the upper division general education requirements for Old Dominion University,students must have either a minor, second major or a cluster, which is similar to a minor exceptthat it is interdisciplinary in nature.
