half of the last century, faculty reward systems that assessed productive facultyscholarship at the nation’s schools of engineering and technology have been based largely on the linearresearch-driven model of engineering innovation (originating in 1945 U.S. science policy)1, a new modelfor needs-driven, systematic engineering innovation has emerged in the 21st century. Scientific researchand professional engineering practice are no longer viewed as linear, sequential activities. Today, creativeprofessional engineering practice and directed scientific research are viewed as concurrent activities withunique missions and functions.1.1 Status of U.S. Engineering Graduate EducationAlthough the U.S. system of engineering graduate education has

Yes, institutions should offer support services for students with special needs, but their adequacy should be assessed by examining the actual services, not raw retention rates.54In addition, the news media can also play an important leadership

In theexperimental group, 78% reported taking the course to fulfill the requirement of their major orminor, while in the control group, 71% indicated they were taking the course out of personalinterest. Thus there is a possibility that differences in motivation could have impacted the resultsof each assessment.Incipient Emerging Trend DetectionAn experiment was conducted to test our methodology for detecting emerging trends. 21students participated in this experimental evaluation.

there is a wealth of educational research in the literature thatcan help faculty apply new teaching strategies and improve their teaching effectiveness,engineering faculty as disciplinary scholars are often not aware of such information. In additionto the lack of pedagogical training, barriers to accepting the scholarship of teaching and learningin engineering education include a lack of proper assessment methods and limited rewardsystems to support quality scholarship of teaching and learning3, 4. Although prioritizationamong faculty activities would be influenced by the institution‟s current evaluation and rewardsystems, there are few incentives for engineering faculty to engage in the scholarship of teachingand learning.

This obviously affects how social entrepreneurs perceive and assess opportunities. Mission-related impact becomes the central criterion, not wealth creation. Wealth is just a means to an end for social entrepreneurs.” … “It is inherently difficult to measure social value creation. How much social value is created by reducing pollution in a given stream, by saving the spotted owl, or by providing companionship to the elderly?

regarding the current status of ETDsSeveral aspects of ETD access have been considered. Of these, the two primary considerationsseem to be the breadth or completeness of information accessible in the ETD format, and theimmediacy and ease of access with the ETD format.Availability: measured by breadth of information in ETDsIt is clear from the data presented in the charts that the ETDs restrict the breadth of informationavailable to researchers. Over 50% of the total ETDs produced at Virginia Tech, and nearly 40%of the Engineering ETDs from Virginia Tech, are either not available outside the Virginia Techcommunity, or are not available at all.When assessing the variety, comprehensiveness, or totality of information available, the ETDsdo not compare

ABET lists“an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create acollaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” as astudent outcome in its outcomes-based assessment of engineering curricula [1]. Early careerengineers often describe effective teamwork and interpersonal skills as the most importantcompetencies in their jobs [2, 3]. The formation of teams can significantly affect how well a teamworks together, and team formation and function have been studied in engineering curriculum fordecades [4–6].
