Throughthe topics that the students researched (listed in Table 4), all the students except one recognizedthat they were exposed to these issues by learning about the role that satellite and satellitecommunications play in world events, how other countries use satellite systems forcommunications within their own country and abroad, and how the different satellite systemsinteract with each other to form a global communications network. We need to keep in mind thatthese activities will take a more important role in the upcoming years, as the new ABET criteriafor Engineering Technology programs becomes fully implemented and will have the need tocreate similar activities for the other courses in

) answer is “Gee, I have no idea” it does not generateconfidence on the part of the freshman student in his/her choice of major. And the answer iseven less helpful if the respondent, for some private reason, does not give an unbiased answer;there is no one the student can turn to for refutation.“Chemical Engineering is just Chemistry, I want to be an engineer”. Again this comes from alack of understanding as to just what chemical engineering is. Freshman students do takefreshman chemistry, and they think that must be what chemical engineering is all about. They aresurprised to learn that only a part of chemical engineering practice actually deals with chemicalreactions, and that most of a classical chemical plant is devoted to other operations

They demonstrated how a theme can facilitate connections betweentopics, increase appreciation for the practical applications of concepts, and enhance retrieval ofinformation in later courses. In addition, they discuss how a “theme course” can generateenthusiasm for engineering and provide a vehicle for consideration of environmental, economic,and ethical issues. If a student is motivated to learn, and remains motivated, the chances forsignificant learning are increased. Manteufel2 observes that

Two available software packages,Matlab®2 and PSCAD/EMTC®3 where chosen to be used in the tutorial and simulation.Matlab® uses a high-level language and an interactive environment for numerical computation,visualization, and programming. Using Matlab®, electrical engineering students can analyzedata, develop algorithms, and create models and applications.

education in the area of circuit and design hasbeen mainly focused in linear models is that linear system theory has been thoroughly developed,and mathematical tools are available to analyze such systems. This philosophy has led manyscientists and experimentalists to disregard many observed phenomena because linear systemtheory can not explain them. In the last decade, there is a strong interest in exploring systems thatdisplay unusual complicated waveforms, commonly known as strange attractors. These attractorshave been increasingly observed in several nonlinear deterministic systems.Therefore, it is important for today's students to be exposed to these complex chaos phenomena.From the educational aspect, students need to learn not only how to

It didn’t always turn out well, but I still liked it. Now, as a sophomore, I’m in two engineering classes. One is statics, and the other I’m taking is engineering graphics, which is hand and computer drafting. I like the drafting one a little bit better, mainly because I’m learning different programs that are more relevant to engineering businesses. Statics is just a lot of vector analysis, and I am struggling with that. Physics 2 and statics, those two classes are really difficult for me. I suppose it’s a little bit of my mental health, and a

Another promising strategy is usingcorporate social responsibility (CSR) as a tool in engineering ethics education, as a way ofpreparing students for “the CSR dimensions of their careers” and broadening studentsunderstanding of stakeholders, especially to include oppositional groups [23].
