On the other hand, industrywants to have qualified and well-educated employees who are ready to implement theirknowledge on day one of their employment. As a result, while academia needs to be fully awareof the current state-of-the-art knowledge requirements: industry must be driving the curriculumdevelopment. We intend to strengthen an existing link between the University and industry inorder to stay current.

In product development, SE is utilized on structuring a productdevelopment process into simple and collaborative activities that proceed throughout the entireproduct life-cycle, while at the same time, supporting engineers’ decision making. Project basedengineering design classes are suitable for undergraduate students to study and practice theconcepts of SE while solving real-world design problems.

Here again isanother benefit of the exercise: the design must be done by the student and may or shouldbe timed to correspond to the student’s classroom instruction of AutoCad or Solid Works.Thus the student uses all of what is being taught in the classroom to solve a “real world”problem and more! By more is meant that the sophomore students in this Dynamics classhave not had formal instruction in experimental instrumentation, Measurements andAnalysis or dimensional analysis techniques such as Buckingham-Pi theorem anddimensionless groups.

value of good team work.The project emphasizes on the word team because team is not same as group. The term groupimplies a somewhat more than a collection of individuals but the team implies much more [2].The curriculum in any specific area of study tends to narrowly focus students on that area,whereas real-world multifaceted systems tend to incorporate components from multipledisciplines. The development of such systems has shifted from designing individual componentsin segregation to working in cross-functional teams that include the variety of proficienciesneeded to design an entire system [1].The counter design provides an opportunity for studentsinterested in electronics, design, application and troubleshooting to combine their interest

Five departments marketed oroffered a CS minor to student in other majors, and three departments created dual majors oronline post-baccalaureate programs for students majoring in other fields that have highconcentrations of women (i.e., biology and psychology). Explicitly drawing attention to the waysin which computing and other fields intersect enables students to understand the relevance ofcomputing to real-world, socially relevant applications, which also influence their commitmentto the major once enrolled [5].Finally, institutions made other systemic changes that likely contributed to attracting morewomen.

students are alsoexpected to have a “hands-on” experience with real world problems that are faced byengineering professionals. This paper is a summary of the experience of one facultymentor and his undergraduate colleague to combine both of these requirements into aneffective educational experience for the student and the instructor.The first requirement is that the problem that needs to be solved must not only be a real-world engineering problem but one that has some reasonable likely hood of being solvedin the time allowed. The only other requirement is that the student be a valued member ofthe team; taking on responsibilities that are essential to the project and ones that thefaculty mentor would need to do if assistance were not available…in

RTTD-ID aims to reduce frustration inidentifying and following an active speaker when there are multiple speakers, e.g., in a lab. It hasthree different display schemes to identify the location of the active speaker, which helps deafstudents in viewing both the speaker’s words and the speaker’s expression and actions.We evaluated three RTTD speaker identification methods: 1) traditional: captions stay in oneplace and viewers search for the speaker, 2) pointer: captions stay in one place, and a pointer tothe speaker is displayed, and 3) pop-up: captions “pop-up” next to the speaker.

implicationsof defining “systems engineering.” Some of the questions we address here are as follows.What are the real-world problems that systems engineering claims to study, what are theprincipal methods of systems engineering and how different are they from those ofindustrial engineering, and what is and should be taught in programs in systemsengineering? What can students expect to learn and what jobs can they obtain aftercompleting their studies?IntroductionWith two recent actions, the industrial engineering community seems to haverelinquished any exclusive claim on the use of the phrase “systems engineering.” Thoseactions are (1) the vote by IIE membership to reject a proposal to add “systems” to itsname and (2) the determination that ABET’s new

While the academic and professionalbackgrounds of the two authors of this paper are considerably different, we also share quite a bit in common: inparticular, both of us have spent several years in high-tech industry prior to returning to the academic world asComputer Science faculty. In particular, when teaching various CS courses, we try to relate concepts and techniquescovered to the "real-world" applications, and in particular the recent and current technology challenges and R&D donein industry. We have applied this general philosophy to virtually all courses we have taught, including the verytheoretical ones -- such as those on Automata and Formal

Very few articles address the training ofengineering educators to prepare them to train engineering students for globalization. Part of thisfaculty preparation is to study globalization of education from the literature 4,5,6,7,8. However,many of the studies show that successful international endeavor requires plenty of face-to-faceinteractions9.
