These include: § Chemical engineering in Colombia needs to move from a purely process-based program to a balance mix between product and process design. § The so-called enabling sciences: Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics are already well engrained in our current curriculum. § A new set of organizing engineering principles needs to be established. The approach based on molecular transformations, multi

In 1997, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) adopted Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), whichfurther emphasized that accredited engineering programs need to consider the ability to functionon multidisciplinary teams within their curriculums [1]. Since this time, there
focus on requirement 3(g) [1]. Other approaches to engineering education haveincluded interdisciplinary course development [2]. The use of capstone courses haslikewise become a popular medium for integrating business principles into theengineering curriculum [3]. What is missing, however, is a systematic approach tocovering the basics of business education for aerospace engineering students.Process As a part of the Boeing Corporation Welliver Faculty Fellowship Program(Welliver), faculty members are encouraged to submit proposals for an eight-weeksummer program. The proposals are generally technical in nature with the facultymember desiring to learn more about specific components or systems within the Boeing

Therefore, it is in the long-term interests of new faculty that thisprecursor discussion targeting administrators be held.Our particular focus is scholarly teaching by engineering faculty. The NRC has recognized thatthere are distinct differences in the ways the various disciplines approach teaching andlearning([2], p. 5). Three linked events have prompted changes in the instructional environment forengineering faculty and created an opportunity for increased attention to evaluation of teaching: ‚ In the late 1990’s the system of accreditation for undergraduate engineering degrees shifted from a focus on process to a focus on student learning
. Thisinitiative brought new elective courses to TAMUQ engineering curriculum in areas of interestto the region such as in gas processing technologies, applied catalysis, photovoltaic (PV)power generation, water treatment, hydrocarbon and synthetic fuels processing, etc. Industryexperts from Qatar and the region are participating in teaching and/or support teaching ofnumber of these initiatives. Currently, several TAMUQ engineering programs teach thesecourses in regular basis as part of the curriculum.The focus in this area accompanied by bolstering teaching, research and outreach in energy, Page 24.80.3the environment, sustainable technologies, ethics

Therefore, this work is acontinuous effort through a critical peer review on feedback and other results in order tomeet continuously ever changed requirements in this global economy.ConclusionIn summary, this research found out some missing puzzles from a Chinese softwareengineering curriculum in this global economy and tested the new approach to integratesuccessful experiences from American engineering programs into a Chinese softwareengineering curriculum. This research proves that it is feasible to apply successfulAmerican higher education experiences in a Chinese higher education program Page 13.15.12development. This new

This paper provides a system approach which integrates the various toolsand techniques and could serve as a practical example in Engineering Design or Capstonecourses.The first section of this paper is an extensive review of relevant literature. This literature surveyskey factors for success or failure in technology commercialization that spans the last two decades.These factors have been classified in four domains (Technical, Economic, Operational, andRegulatory) according to their impact.

New Engineering FacultyAbstractThe participants populating our schools are becoming more diverse. They are coming from avariety of cultures and have different learning styles. They also have unique interests andvarious levels of maturity. As technical teachers, we frequently teach a blend of theoretical andapplied engineering topics. Our goal is to provide our students with the skills and knowledgethey require to safely and accurately accomplish their jobs to high standards of quality in a costeffective manner. Central to providing effective instruction is knowing something about howpeople learn. The more we know about the learning process the more effective we can be indesigning and delivering appropriate instruction. A one-size-fits-all

While aseasoned faculty member or a researcher is quite used to reading voluminous literature,students and non-domain audience may find this challenging.
