experiences as student leaders that helped shape them intosuccessful and respected engineering leaders.For example, clear communication is essential to effective leadership. In industry, engineersoften must be able to communicate their ideas or solutions with clients, they must communicate aproject’s goals and vision to collaborators, and they must communicate with peers on teams toaccomplish goals. Their experiences as leaders in NSBE and SHPE helped the participantspractice all of these communication dynamics. Furthermore, many participants describedexperiencing first-hand the consequences of poor communication when working within theorganizations. For example, some participants spoke of miscommunications resulting in conflictbetween themselves and

The authors drawtheir conclusions from examination of practices and outcomes at BP Amoco during the 1990sand focus primarily on a manager named David Nagel as a case study in T-shaped management.Where the report from the British Computer Society focuses on the need for T-shaped managersand the means for developing them, Hansen and Oetinger’s treatment of the topic shows T-shaped management in action at the level of individuals and an

For example,Moldoveanu and Narayandas [9], note that organizations across a wide variety of industriesrecognize and value professional skills necessary for survival in today’s complex knowledgeeconomy. Professional skills are valued at all levels and are no

It's like even when I'm blatantly disrespected, I still have to keep my cool,which has happened. I've had someone questioned my intelligence, I've had a professor call me an angryblack woman, I've dealt with a lot of stuff being at LPU. But I still have to figure out how to keep a calmface in the face of adversity. Especially, because I don't want it to reflect badly on myself or anyonecoming up after me. Because, I know it's not necessarily my job to represent for my race. But at the sametime, people do tend to have interactions with people and go throughout their

AM is essential to the U.S. economy because it is the mainpipeline for new products and productivity-enhancing processes.In response to the growing global competition, many manufacturing companies are in the processof adopting advanced manufacturing technologies to improve their business operations.

simulation discussed above specifically focuses on dougong and templeconstruction specifically, the educational principles that it employs can be applied to othersimilar subjects as well. The main draw of the model and the IDS is that it can be used todemonstrate the construction techniques of dougong more effectively than previous literature onthese types of components. The first reason for this is that the three-dimensional models allowstudents to piece together the final appearance and details of most dougong, allowing them topicture the overall outcome of the process more clearly. The second reason is that the animationsand sequences provided by the IDS can help students follow the process of the dougongassembly more easily than previous
diverse students maychoose engineering disciplines other than environmental engineering at a higher rate.IntroductionThe Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) made an initialeffort to count environmental engineers in 20041. That study sought to determine if demographicinformation for environmental engineers, including students, faculty, and practitioners exists, if itis accurately collected, and if it is effectively reported. The evaluation showed thatenvironmental engineering demographic data is available, but with two main limitations. Thefirst limitation is that the most comprehensive sources for environmental engineeringdemographics data for students (American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) and

teacher’s guides.1. Introduction1.1 Background Information and Literature ReviewA new trend in K-12 education is to incorporate concepts and ways of thinking from theengineering disciplines into math and science courses. A growing number of educators, startingat the postsecondary level and now spreading to the high school and elementary level, arerecognizing that awareness of and knowledge about engineering are crucial to students’ ability tonavigate our technology-dependent society. This effort by educators and policymakers to includeengineering in K-12 classrooms is part of an initiative that is often referred to as the“technological literacy” movement.The modern technological literacy movement can be said to have begun in 1996, when

implementation becomes rapidly complex as the length ofthe code word and the uncoded message increase. As a result, most coding theory uses a (7,4)code in which the code word has seven bits of which four bits contain the information.2 The coderesults in a manageable number of 128 code words of which only 16 form valid codes. Theredundancy is used for error correction. Now suppose a (15,7) code is used allowing 32,768possible code words for which only 128 are valid information codes. This complexity can bereduced by using several functions in the Matlab Communications Toolbox, providing a uniquelearning opportunity for the engineering technology student.INTRODUCTION2Channel coding refers to the class of signal transformations designed to improve
bioengineering.Baker and Leary (1995) conducted interviews with female students in K-2, K-5, K-8, and K-12in an effort to determine what factors influenced them to pursue the field of biology [4]. Duringthe interviews, students from middle to high school said that they rejected physical sciencebecause the area was not viewed as related to helping or caring, instead preferring biology thatwould allow them to help people, animals, or the earth [4]. Keeves and Kotte (1992) foundthat men were more likely to enroll in physics and chemistry courses in secondary school.Biology was the only female-dominated area; females exceeded the number of male studentsenrolled [25]. This saturation exists because biology has been traditionally viewed by women as anurturing
such assignments, the writing ofgames promotes strategic thinking. A programmer must consider how to properly utilize datastructures to represent the elements of the game and how to establish the necessary heuristics forevaluating the status of the game.In the past, each card game program had to be essentially written from scratch, but what reallychanges from implementation of one game to the next? How does the concept of a card or adeck differ? There is a great deal of functionality that stays the same, regardless of the cardgame being implemented. This card game assignment is used in our third introductoryprogramming course, where after two quarters of C++ in a text-based context, students areintroduced to graphical user interfaces (GUI

Comparative studies are also needed to see how females inoutreach program differ from those who are not engaged in outreach as well as longitudinal workon how the impact of outreach is sustained over time. These findings are promising and open thedoor for discovering the link between outreach and enhancing engineering education at thecollege level.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank NSF, the LLL Foundation, and Tufts UCCPS: UniversityCollege for Citizenship and Public

It was determined that Macromedia’s Authorware Attain was the bestchoice for the actual program framework. The timeline-style authoring environment coupledwith powerful Knowledge Object capabilities made Authorware the most attractive choice interms of starting from scratch. In addition, Macromedia Fireworks provided an excellentgraphics tool for developing the various graphics that were used in the software. Its expert use oflayering and live effects would be of particular interest in editing graphics to suit particular needsof the application.The various

number of domestic students getting graduate degreesin engineering and challenged the Society to take an active role in the process.Here is what he said.: ASEE needs to increase its efforts in promoting research and graduate education. There is the perception that ASEE is involved only in promoting and improving engineering education, specifically teaching, at the undergraduate level. We need to change that perception by expanding ASEE activities related to research and graduate education. Furthermore, there is a need to increase the number of Americans seeking and completing engineering graduate degrees. Currently, the number of Americans completing graduate degrees is alarmingly low, and as a
