height of the Cold War, Page 4.60.2Engineering R&D was very intimately tied to NASA and the Department of Defenseinitiatives. There was even the suggestion during the Vietnam War that an engineeringwelfare system existed for the benefit of highly educated but otherwise unemployableengineers. Spin-offs from military and space research, which spurred economicdevelopment in subsequent years, have largely dispelled that notion.The Cold War ended with the breakup of the Soviet Union; the United States has all butrestored diplomatic relations with Vietnam; NASA budgets have been dramaticallyreduced; and the outlook for engineering careers has been altered

is one of the fastest growing fields. It is basicallyfabrication, manipulation, and characterization of materials at the nanoscale (usually between 1and 100 nm), which will significantly affect economic, educational, and social developments inall areas, such as engineering, science, defense, biomedical and biology [1]. It is also one of theleading technologies for educational revolution in the new millennium. Nanotechnologyeducation is being offered by many universities around the globe for the integration of allengineering and science courses for the future generation [1]. Several nanotechnology programsand centers in the U.S. have been undertaken by the government and by private sectors tointensify the teaching, research, and development
the American Society for Engineering Education 8DiscussionThe survey results were analyzed by calculating the modal response for each question. BecauseLikert survey data is ordinal in nature, it is inappropriate to report mean response values or useparametric testing procedures [5]. Although many authors ignore this distinction anderroneously apply parametric methods to Likert survey data, the results cannot be properlyinterpreted.The results suggest that students generally hold a favorable view of online learning in generaland Blackboard Collaborate in particular. This is consistent with the findings of other research[6]. In

the differentacademic departments are already doing and what technologies and equipment are alreadyavailable, but are perhaps less visible or accessible to students in different fields. Collaboratingwith other higher education institutions or other local organizations or industry is one way to fullyleverage existing resources and address resource limitations. The involvement of faculty membersfrom the social science and education research can enhance the understanding of a student’sentrepreneurial mindset. At the heart of entrepreneurship and innovation is problem solving andthe creation of physical spaces where students can tackle pertinent problems together. This is verycrucial in sustaining entrepreneurial education.Overview of the Concept

education to address this need. Hardware to accomplish this goal has been in existence for several decades, though onlysince 1993 has it seen applications in education [4]. Educational advances have increased sincethat time, albeit slowly. Important advances include Christopher Dede’s application ofvisualization hardware to general scientific concepts [5], and the teaching of electromagnetics inparticular with the well-known MaxwellWorld [6]. Other applications include education ofelementary school students in basic zoological concepts at Georgia Tech [7, 8], the NICE projectfor elementary education at the University of Illinois at Chicago [9]-[11], and engineeringeducation research at East Carolina University [12].

typically made at the beginning of the designprocess; therefore, we need case studies that pose ethical, managerial and technical dilemmas thatrequire students to exercise moral imagination from the beginning of the design process towardsthe end of project completion.Additionally, encountering a carefully crafted story and playing out a role in that story givesstudents an experience they may remember well after graduation (Banik, 2002). If instructorsmanage to engage the students to this level, much will have been done to enhance their moralreasoning and moral imagination when addressing ethical dilemmas as AECs in the future.As a receiver of a grant, the author proposes to develop a research and educational experiencethat will focus on producing

Elwazani Bowling Green State University IntroductionWhile educators assure the need for equipping architecture and design students withlighting design knowledge,1 the nature of the teaching methods employed in imparting thatknowledge is not easy to define.

However, lighting educatorsare familiar with one or more methods of instruction that contribute to developing
Sustainability should take root in engineering education, and quickly. Consider that the focus of all University teaching and research still fails to reflect theurgent need for a new understanding of the global ecosystem and humankind s place in it.Consider that funding for all public educational institutions is mired in the politics of lessgovernment, lower taxes, and a nostalgia for the values of a world that no longer exists.Consider that engineers and engineering educators are, in most cases, people of technology, andits rigorous application. Consider that the concepts of Sustainable Development look a little$soft# and a little too non-technical to many of them. Then consider that many of today s collegiate engineering programs are
