In addition the ability to modify the controller with very littleeffort enabled a PID design project to be added to the curriculum. Assessment shows thatthe new project improved students self confidence in the concepts of controller design.It should be noted that LabVIEW continues to be used successfully in other experimentsthat require lower sampling rates (below 100 Hz) and with applications that do not needto be modified

seemsappropriate that questions should be asked about the level of preparedness of faculty toteach the engineering curriculum of 2020. In particular, an important question is what isbeing done to prepare faculty to teach the future engineering curriculum? In other words,what is being done to develop faculty skills to address the changing nature of engineeringpractice?This issue was raised in the ASCE Committee on Faculty Development, during the fall of2006. The committee decided that a first step toward answering this key question would Page 12.138.2be to determine what faculty development is currently available and being used.

Engineering Economy

History of the Development of Engineering Economic Representation within A.S.E.EAbstractThe development of the Engineering Economy Division of A.S.E.E. was an outgrowth ofthe technical progress of the field of engineering economics beginning in 1877 with thepublications of Arthur M. Wellington. As these new methodologies were formed, a fewengineering faculty began to realize that this material should be an integral part of theengineering curriculum. This paper traces the formation in 1942 of the IndustrialEngineering Division in the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education(S.P.E.E., the forerunner of A.S.E.E.) and how these members played a critical role in the1956 formation of the Engineering Economy Division for the

Theexpected outcome of this work is a validated, reliable instrument for assessing conceptualunderstanding in a core curriculum course for Civil and/or Environmental engineering. Such aninstrument will play an important role in assessment for programmatic accreditation under theABET standards, and provide a needed technique for formative assessment of

The course was designed in order to demonstratehow knowledge from junior level thermal/fluid science classes could be used to design anddevelop energy systems. The course topics and contents were based on similar courses at otheruniversities1-3.

Furthermore, the sustainability of these courses or workshops may be an issue; ifthese are removed from curriculums to opt for a reinforced focus on engineering content, it canreinforce prior sentiments that content is more important than the communication ability ofengineers. Engineering faculty may not feel fully able to effectively teach communication nor toprovide feedback on students’ writing. Thus rubrics can provide a helpful tool in these efforts.Alternatives beyond targeted interventions have been rubrics and evaluation tools that align theexpected content-knowledge with transferable communication abilities expected of engineers inindustry. 15 Other rubrics have
