The Maturity Process Teaching Model proposed here incorporates the ideas ofoperational definitions as outcomes, process-improvement, and Capability Maturity Model-basedmaturity levels and applies them to software engineering education. This paper explores theaccreditation process as it relates to software engineering departments. It will discuss proceduresthat are needed to “jumpstart” the self-study and move your program up the CMM scale.Finally, the status of our efforts as well as any problems we experienced will be discussed in aneffort to disseminate this information to our
authors propose aprocess for facilitating team creation in an organic fashion amongst students by collecting andproviding information about student interest on a per project basis as well as on each student’sskills. This allows students to gauge the interest levels of potential teammates for projects theyare interested in as well and choose teammates that have complementary skills, thus maximizingtheir potential for success. To measure the efficacy of this system, post-process data analytics wasutilized to gauge the utility of the proposed method to help form student teams. Findings fromthese analyses are discussed along with opportunities for future improvements.IntroductionAlmost all ABET accredited undergraduate engineering programs feature a
Principal Investigatoror Director. Several working groups will focus on specific tasks such as: a technical group; aprocurement and selection group; a metadata group; a publicity group; etc. Finally,administrative procedures, a strategic plan, a plan for securing funding, and assessment strategieswill be developed.Preserving the Literature of Engineering EducationThe literature of engineering education is complex and extensive. Powell1 describes thecomponents of engineering education in a recent publication: "Engineering education encompasses a number of categories, including students, faculty, practitioners and alumni, courses and programs, and assessment and evaluation. Topics relating to students include learning resources
assignments directly related to thecontent of the lectures in the ENGR0081 seminar course. We now find that a once verypassive learning environment now actively engages the students.This active, multi-faceted learning environment would not be possible without ongoingcollaboration among faculty from various academic areas. From its inception, E/FEWPrequired administrative support from various university areas and hands-on intellectual andpragmatic partnership among faculty from the Freshman Engineering Program, the Englishdepartment, and the University of Pittsburgh Library System. The dean of Arts and Sciences,the dean of the Swanson School of Engineering, and the chair of the English department sawthe benefits of supporting a program that would

In addition to fostering collaborationand community, academic makerspaces create environments where users learn from one another andfreely share their knowledge. Beyond being locations to work in, makerspaces help students learn theoryand practice skills in training sessions, workshops, and formal academic classes.

Engineering is typicallya five-year program. The relatively short pre-tertiary education spancauses serious difficulty at the tertiary level due to the poor preparationof the incoming students.In contrast to the patterns prevailing in most countries we find that bothpublic and private funding play important roles in the Philippine educationsystem. It is instructive to compare the

Some engineering programs have gone a step further and chosen to includea laboratory experience along with the lecture. 31 This approach enhances the in-class learning byproviding hands-on applications.In addition to focusing on continuous-based control systems, few engineering programs alsoinclude coverage of non-continuous (process or discrete) control that are common in industrialenvironments. Mechanical engineering graduates engage with both continuous andnon-continuous control systems; however, they play a more key role in the development ofnon-continuous systems 30 than continuous-based systems where additional education is usuallyrequired and/or their electrical engineering counterparts are better equipped.

increase engagement in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM). Recent studies have made significant advances in unveiling LGBTQ+ inequities andmarginalization in STEM, such as disparate retention rates in STEM educational programs [1] andprofessional devaluation [2]. These emerging studies suggest that the LGBTQ+ community ismarginalized and that the LGBTQ+ community should be included in efforts to broaden participation inSTEM.Suitably, the number of grants awarded to study and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,and queer (LGBTQ+) community in STEM fields has grown over the past few decades. For example, in2020, the NSF awarded the first-ever CAREER grant that explicitly included the acronym “LGBTQ” in theproposal title
