were not aware of a study ofthe effectiveness and best practices for IABs in ET. The desire to fill this knowledge gap is themotivating factor of this study.Procedure As mentioned in the abstract, this study extends the Genheimer & Shehab reports bystudying programs in engineering technology. In their model, Genheimer & Shehab identifyeight objectives of an IAB. In a related study,6 Rooney and Puerzer identify eleven objectives,which overlap those of Genheimer & Shehab but have more emphasis on recruiting both studentsand new faculty and stronger emphasis on research. They make the cogent point that the role ofIABs is strictly advisory, and they have no policy-making power. They also comment that theroles of IABs change

Within two years, additional topics had been added, and by 2000 students couldchoose from 6 sections.

Electric vehiclesuse high efficiency AC PMSM motors that are controlled using a field oriented Vector controltechnique.11 High efficiency PMSM motors have also been used to replace existing motors inindustrial applications because the replacement cost to change to high efficiency motors is paidback by energy cost savings.

First,several of the educators did not trust the data or the process used to develop the personas. Thismay have been connected to their own discomfort with design thinking and previous ways ofunderstanding students, approaching course design, and ontological views. Second, while thepersonas and journey maps conveyed some interesting information, the educators were unsure howthey might utilize it, beyond just their individual concerns about its origins.

It may be possible to obtain containerswith a more recognizable “recycle” look, but these are items that come with a cost and are nottypically donated.

Further, the preliminaryanalysis suggests that students may not be accurate in their perceptions of how well theyunderstand the material covered each week.Moving forward, we recommend that all faculty examine student reflections on a weekly basiswith special attention to (1) those who are struggling with everything (code non-specific); and (2)common areas of concern which could benefit from further review/attention. With this importantknowledge, faculty could routinely make sure to address issues in the first five minutes of class.Also, faculty could test student’s expressed areas of difficulty by asking in-class questions (i.e.polling) with subsequent student discussion.

STEM professions. The professional organization for electrical and electronicengineers made a forecast for 2008 in eight categories likely to affect this profession. Thesecategories were technology, energy, climate change, work force, employment benefits,immigration, infrastructure and the economy. Two of the discoveries concerning the work forcewere the issues of off shoring jobs and phased retirement. The problem with the increased offshoring of technical fields is that the fear of not being able to find a job may affect the number ofU.S. students willing to take a chance and enroll in these majors. Also to compound the supplyand demand problem is the fact that nearly 40% of senior electrical engineers and shiftsupervisors in the electric
