Cincinnati:Like many colleges, the College of Engineering at the University of Cincinnati (UC) is movingin the direction of integrating technology into the learning experiences of our undergraduatestudents. For several years, UC has required each entering freshman to purchase a portablecomputer for use on homework assignments and class projects. Portable computers are requiredinstead of desktops so that students can bring them to classes, laboratories, and use them betweenclasses while on campus. In support of the portable PC requirement, UC has invested in awireless networking infrastructure. Although an early goal was to incorporate the use of PCsinto classes, most of the faculty has been slow to modify course content to directly integrate PCsinto

Scholars from the fields of education, gender andsexuality studies, and ethnic studies have adopted anti-capitalist frameworks which examine howAmerican society’s educational, economic, and social systems have developed in ways that harmmarginalized groups. These groups include the Gender, Romantic, and Sexual Minority (GRSM)community, Communities of Color, people living with disabilities, and women.

Additionally, graduates working in fields suchas informational technology, business, and the military tended not to perceive themselves asworking in engineering; nonetheless, many of these graduates self-identified as an engineer andhad plans to pursue engineering work in the future.

They also highlight a need forimproved career preparation, counseling, and development among early career engineeringgraduates and students.IntroductionSince a student earning an engineering bachelor’s degree no longer presupposes that he or shewill pursue an engineering job,1 finding ways
