A recipient of a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, she earned Ph.D. and M.S.E. in computer science and engineering from the University of Michigan. She has published more than two dozen peer-reviewed works related to her interests in educational technology and enhancing undergraduate
degrees in certaincountries and regions and toward international links among programs. We make tworecommendations related to partners: IE programs should seek partnerships withmechanical engineering and with business programs, and IE programs should seekpartners with universities in other countries.Methods for finding IE programs in other countriesWe compiled a list of programs to be examined by drawing from the following sources.Washington Accord Programs. The Washington Accord, signed in 1989, is an agreementamong engineering accrediting bodies in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Hong Kong, NewZealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States. The agreement“recognizes the substantial equivalency of programs accredited by those bodies
Branding of Engineering Technology Programs Arizona State University at the Polytechnic campus Mesa, ArizonaAbstract The paper focuses on pros and cons related to the branding of EngineeringTechnology (ET) Programs. Two frequent topics among leaders of ET programsare how to educate others (prospective students, prospective employers of ETgraduates, and the community) about what engineering technology is all aboutand how to differentiate between engineering technology programs and traditionalengineering programs. Engineering Technology faculty and students face thesechallenges on a regular basis. This paper seeks to address the question can thispaper initiate a dialogue among the

As will be explained later, we were pleasantly surprised by their enthusiasm.

Thisand other related courses in the area of technology should be developed if this program is toremain competitive.Another course that is currently taught in the department on the under-graduate level is DataProcessing Systems Engineering. Several other programs teach a similar course on the graduatelevel. Restructuring this course and adding it to the graduate curriculum would also be avaluable addition to the MSEM program.

functions and responsibilities of crewmembers, and the necessity to increase efficiency of every crew member becomes vital for thesuccess of the program. At the same time, certain functions of the reduced crew should beperformed now by engineers ashore, which leads to an increase of their number. Moreover,engine room automation leads to increased volume of shipyard repairs. In addition, ships arebecoming more complex and automated. Engineering officers on board and ashore areincreasingly responsible for managing a wide range of activities related to ship operation, repairand maintenance and would benefit from an economics and engineering management training

excellent example of this process [1]-[3], as is theevolution of related disciplines such as sustainability science [4]. The Body of Knowledge forEE programs has expanded considerably [5], there has been substantial growth in the number ofABET accredited degree programs over the past 25 years (Fig. 1) [6], and in the number ofstudents earning degrees in EE. Annually, in the United States, about 1,200 students earn ABET-accredited undergraduate degrees in EE, based on a survey of all accredited programs conductedin 2016 [7]. In 2014-2015, 1,124 bachelor’s degrees were awarded in the U.S., as reported byASEE [8]. In addition, professional engineering licensure (NCEES) in the U.S. recognizes EE asa distinct professional discipline [9

For a period of about 2 and 1/2 years, I saw Cooper frequently—whether hewas attending class or studying in the classroom building before class.As the researcher, I credit my own previous experiences—as a service academy graduate, a U.S.Army veteran, and a returning veteran graduate student in mechanical engineering— for thedesire to exploring SVSM experience in engineering education, not just qualitatively, but alsorelationally. Using the relational, transactional methodology of NI, I came alongside Cooperwithin the context of a two-year, undergraduate engineering transfer program, to examine

The assessment of the PEOs was conducted through indirect measuresincluding surveys to alumni and industry advisory council. The assessment of SOs

Inthis working paper, we use data from a single institution that has a meritocracy-basedmatriculation program. Using hierarchical linear modeling, we consider a student’s probabilityof graduating within six-years to be a function of matriculating into a degree grantingengineering program in one of four possible entry points, while controlling for academicachievement in key math and science classes.Matriculation ProcessStudents at the study
