Engineering Skills and Making Oral Presentations. In Table C, preparation in theseskills is perceived to be higher than importance. Therefore, Table C lists the skills that newgraduates feel they are over prepared in and the importance is relatively low compared to theskills listed in Tables A and B.Two observations can be made from Table C. First, the topic identified by graduates as being themost over-prepared is Using General Education Course Materials (AHS). However, some of theskills that the graduates identified as being under-prepared in Table A are those skills that shouldbe covered in the General Education Courses. Further, they are more likely to gain value fromthese courses as they advance in their careers. The other four skills in Table C

The concept of engineering education research, which seeks to understand and correctstructural deficiencies in our systems for teaching and learning, is largely unknown to mostmembers of Congress, so a key component to generating support for engineering educationresearch funding is informing the members as well as their staffs.

How we teach engineering may in fact dominate the ethical and societal lessons we wish to teach. Questions explored include: How can one effectively and practically teach fundamental engineering concepts in a way that will equip our graduates to

Too often, research-basedacademic settings do not integrate these practices effectively to communicate the societal impactof technology. Undergraduate engineering students study humanities and social science inrequired classes that do not relate the humanities to relevant engineering applications. As anexample, an economics class might discuss the effects of rising oil prices, but generally will notexpound on the technical ways in which builders can reduce home-energy use and costs.

For example, there may be a shift in jobsavailable from the professional level to the technician level but it should be remembered thatpredictions are notoriously difficult at this level [19]. Even if it were not, engineeringeducation has a sufficient number of problems to suggest that it needs to consider alternativemodels of education, and make available more pathways to engineering than are currentlyavailable.

Carrying this one step further, many people outside of academia do not even reallyknow the full array of activities that are involved with faculty jobs. Engineering faculty can playan important role in educating the public about tenure and what faculty do because (a) manypeople are impressed by someone being an engineer because it isn’t something that they thinkthey have the skills to do, and (b) politicians and business leaders are very much interested inhaving more STEM graduates and therefore will view engineering as a “worthwhile” subject tostudy in college.

Before using a propagation link the frequency users should learn thefundamentals of radio frequency regulation and spectrum engineering.With the new generation of wireless devices such as cognitive radios and ultra wide bandsystems, the frequency usage is getting more complex than before.
