Theseprograms in fact closely approximated the description that one finds in chapter 2 ofSheppard et al.1. This team was asked to avoid duplicating any of these degrees.Otherwise, the slate was clean. After extensive discussions, it was decided to build ageneral engineering program that emphasized three values: engaged learning, agility anda focus on the individual.As our goal was ABET accreditation, we developed a set of program outcomes, one ofwhich we called perspective. The perspective outcome is: An understanding of the role and impact of engineering in

detailed.IntroductionOngoing research in nanotechnology is revolutionizing several fields, includingmicroelectronics, biotechnology, and materials science. It is predicted that by 2020, nanoscaleengineering will bring about mass applications in industry, medicine, and informationtechnology.1 As a result, a growing number of scientists and engineers with the ability to createinnovative designs using nanotechnology will be required. This is creating an urgent need forcurriculum enhancements right now in STEM education. This paper focuses on the impact thatnanotechnology will have in the area of microelectronics, one of the main economic drivers ofthis information technology age. The ability to shrink electronic devices down to submicrondimensions has made possible Very

One high school class was chosen that contains a large number of learningobjectives that are important in a wide variety of engineering courses. Of the material in thatcourse, four objectives were chosen from the standard course of study for closer examination.Teachers with varying degrees of experience in teaching in Wake County, North Carolina publicschools were chose for interview.

The History componenthardly needs much justification and many universities have included history of science andtechnology courses in their curricula; the objectives being not just that students gain anappreciation of the time-line of influential engineering developments but also to promote anunderstanding of the social contexts of science and technology.

He insists that the Christianscholar not summarily dismiss or ignore what they know from their metaphysic, andshould not be concerned that their contribution isn’t accepted simply because of itspresuppositional commitments. The absence of universal acceptance does not imply thatthe result is not true knowledge, and that knowledge might only be attained reasonably byworking from that metaphysical base. For the engineering educator, this distinction is particularly valuable because ourscholarship is mostly in domains where the Duhemian is most appropriate.

There was a positive, significant, but weak correlation betweenthese two variables (r = 0.287, p < .01).
