c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Fatal Fall Accidents in Small Building Construction ProjectsAbstractConstruction is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States accounting for over21.7% of the occupational fatalities annually. Falls are the major cause of fatal constructionaccidents and, according to the Census of Occupational Fatalities and Injuries, majority of thefatal fall accidents happen in projects that are reported to cost under $50,000. These smallconstruction projects have unique circumstances because of the type of the contractors and shortproject durations. Comprehensive understanding of the root-causes, circumstances, andenvironment factors of these accidents is critical in developing

Currently, such sophisticated design systemsare available only for specialized companies with large financial resources. The pay-per-useapproach will have tremendous impact on engineering design since the number of engineers andresearchers which have an access to sophisticated design tools will increase by a factor of at leastof 100. This rapid increase in the number of people involved in sophisticated design processeswill significantly accelerate technological development.The common problem being faced by many electronic engineers in industry is that their design

to Life-long Learning The adage "good grades are important" continues to be true for today’s new hires. Theexcellence demonstrated by students in the classroom is a traditional measure of a candidate’spotential success in job assignments. Although grades are an important issue, new hires mayalso be aggressively recruited if they have key skills and experiences gained through activitiesoutside the classroom. Students can obtain valuable experience and maturity throughcooperative education, summer internships, extra-curricular projects (e.g., SAE Mini Baja, SAEFormula Car, etc.), senior design projects, and research efforts with faculty members.
