and the effectiveutilization of the data gathered and the results obtained are presented.IntroductionMilwaukee School of Engineering is dedicated to excellence in undergraduate education. Thegoal of the undergraduate curriculum is to produce well-rounded engineers, which is achievedthrough strong emphasis in a) excellent technical preparation, b) strong laboratory orientationwith faculty teaching labs in small size sections and c) required Senior Design projects.Accordingly, MSOE graduates are highly sought by industry (over 99% placement). Themechanical engineering students are introduced to MATLAB programming in the freshman yearitself and are taught numerical modeling and analysis in the junior year. Bridging the gap is ourfour-credit
design oriented courses to theWI style. The ECE WI courses are required for all EE and CE students, with the exception ofsome bachelors-masters students. In this paper we will describe how ECEL 301, a third yearlaboratory course, and ECE 491, the first quarter of Senior Design, were modified to meet thenew requirements. Changes to course schedules and assignments as well as the development ofwriting assessment tools have been required. End-of-term assessment tools will be modified tocollect feedback on the effectiveness of the program.IntroductionWriting is an important part of a young engineer’s education. All engineering programs addressthis to satisfy ABET’s Criterion 3g, “an ability to communicate effectively”. The first year ofDrexel’s TDEC

American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 More than Advice: Increasing Industry Advisory Board Member InvolvementAbstractMany engineering programs only involve their advisory board members in scheduled meetings,with a result that their participation and impact on these programs are limited. The objective ofthis paper is to examine one program’s approach to increasing and leveraging members’ impactbeyond these meetings and into other areas of the curriculum and beyond. A basic premiseunderlying this program’s approach was that offering more ways for industry advisory boardmembers to become involved would in fact lead to increased involvement.

withnew research in other disciplines, are somewhat inconsistent with the paradigms and ideologiesunderlying current teaming practices in engineering education. We found that a higherproportion of females in teams did not have increased benefit, a finding consistent with currentresearch in math, sociology, and psychology.Engineering teaming practice has been based on the assumption that an increase in femaleproportion helps. Some researchers argue that when women, or members of any group, comprisea small percentage of an organization (e.g., schools) their numbers make it easier for women tofeel confident and perform well. Gender integration problems may be a function of the numberand proportion of females in the organization. Advocates of this

in.Those faculty favoring a breadth approach to education believe that the most creativecontributions are often made by individuals versed in several disciplines. There are two goodarguments that support this position. First, industry is placing increasing value on individualswho can apply their skills across disciplinary lines, and can evaluate intelligently the broaderconsequences of their actions. Second, diversity breeds broad intelligent problem-solving skills,enabling strategic thinking in multiple domains. This is especially important in a rapidly-expanding discipline such as computer engineering, where the half-life of a bachelor’s degree inthe field is probably less than a decade, and a broad understanding of the field forms thenecessary
