Professionals must have strongknowledge about comprehensive plans, zoning, conceptual design, as well as the engineeringbackground in water resources, transportation, environmental, surveying and projects/constructionmanagement. While as many as one-half of graduating civil engineers go to work in the landdevelopment industry (university placement statistics, 2001-2005), few civil engineering programsin the country have any course or emphasis in land development within their curriculum.

This study reports on the developmental approach taken bythe two institutions to enable students to further their academic qualifications to the level of a UKprofessionally accredited degree. TARC is private mixed Further Education (FE)/Higher Education(HE) College, offering courses at Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels with studentstypically completing their studies at age 22. The institutional arrangement has enabled a range ofTARC Advanced Diplomas to be subjected to detailed mapping exercises, to determine the level ofthe subjects studied at TARC. The mapping was used to establish the additional subjects to bestudied, to allow the students to achieve the same level as graduates who had spent three

Though therewere 11 instruments in total that we could use to extract data, and 13 graduate engineering studentsparticipating in the study (in 5 groups: G1 to G5), we had only nine complete sets for all 11instruments.

while recording the coordinate information.The faculty members and their graduate students would use the drone developed by the capstoneteam to conduct research that involves using AI to detect damages in the surveyed building.There are apparent similarities and differences between the course project and capstone project.As far as control is concerned, both projects require a sensor or sensors to detect the distancefrom the wall. The measured distance is used as a feedback signal to control some motors. In thisaspect, the concepts of control for these two cases are similar. However, a drone is more difficultto control because it needs to fly in the three dimensional space while a robot moves around theground.Overall, the integration of research

Few studies have systematicallyexamined levels of ethical knowledge, decision-making capabilities, and commitments to socialresponsibility among large numbers of engineering students, much less examined how suchindicators change over time and are impacted (or not) by specific kinds of learning experiences.As a result, faculty, administrators, and
2005 Hispanics accounted for 5.8% of the college-degreed workforce and only Page 14.730.25.2% of the STEM workforce. Altogether underrepresented minorities compose 24% of the U.S.population, yet comprise only 13% of college graduates and 10% of the total college-degreedSTEM workforce. It should be noted that every minority group, with the exception ofAsians/Pacific Islanders, earns 1/3 of all its bachelor’s degrees in STEM disciplines (NSB,2008). In all, there is an imperative need for minority groups to study science and engineering.UTPA, a 78-year old, general academic component of the University of Texas System, is acomprehensive university
the Liberal Arts: An Institutional Case Study AbstractWe describe the nearly 50-year history of a unique A.B. degree program in Engineering Studies.The program was created at Lafayette College in 1970 with the goal of producing graduates whocould bridge the gap between engineering and the liberal arts; its current mission is to engagestudents in engineering as a liberal art, recognizing the increasingly complex challenges of socio-technical systems and examining these systems through multi disciplinary perspectives. Theprogram helps students gain expertise in examining the place of engineering and technology insociety, with interdisciplinary skills to lead public technology debates around issues

Almost half of the workforce will be freelance by 2027 [1] andover 65% of the jobs today did not exist 25 years ago [2].
