SESSION 3661 The Engineer’s Role in Public Policy by Fred I. Denny and Richard L. Robinson McNeese State UniversityAbstractEngineers in industry are increasingly involved in compliance with laws and regulations. As oursociety becomes more technologically sophisticated, a growing number of engineers are alsobecoming involved in the processes for developing new public policies. Consequently, universityengineering education should address the intent and significance of public policy as it relates tothe practice of
information management, high-performance materials, smart buildings, and sensing technologies). Changes in international business environment (e.g. limited financial capital, low-cost engineering services delivered via the internet, increased market consolidation). Changes in law and regulatory environment (e.g. licensure laws, environmental regulation). Changes in relationships between and within engineering disciplines (e.g. evolving role of paraprofessionals). Engineering failures (e.g. Hurricane Katrina, the Gulf oil spill, the Minneapolis I-35 bridge collapse).Recognizing that a profession’s Body of Knowledge is not static – that it must evolve asadvances in math, science, technology
AC 2011-2441: WHAT DO MARKETS TELL US ABOUT DEMAND FORENGINEERS IN THE WORKPLACE?Martin S. High, Oklahoma State University Marty High is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University. His aca- demic interests include teaching in all areas and at all levels of chemical engineering with a focus on instruction in thermodynamics and mass transfer. His research interests are in the areas of mass transfer in polymeric systems, corrosion modeling, equation of state development and refinery catalysis. Marty also writes in the area of sustainability and on the intersection of law, science and society. He received his engineering education at Penn State (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) and earned his law
: “… in an engineering Ph.D., we are very closely tied to our one mentor and they have a lot of power over us. They completely determine, um, like what we work on, how much work we do, and they are the kind of key to us getting paid. Like our, our pay is routed through the work that we directly do on the grants that they, um, win. … And so we are very dependent on having this relationship with our PI. … I think that being so tied to someone who you would be withholding your work [from] and be very directly like potentially alienating through the process of striking, can have a lot higher consequences just by the nature of our kind of contract with the school and how our education is arranged.”The
constantly asking people, especially my first two, three weeks, give me an overview. Back up, you’re getting too specific. Let me see this overview. I was asking my managers that. (Small Computer Company, 07-014) Page 15.1150.10Related to employee education, a clean division in new engineers’ opinions was seen at the twocompanies with rotation programs, Big Food Company and Small State Agency. Some newengineers reported liking the rotation program because it provided them with a breadth ofexperience and helped them determine where they best fit in the company. So far, I enjoy it a lot, this program. It’s a very, very, very good program. Because

Al- though embedded computers are powerful and flexible tools for industry, these very advantages have contributed to a corresponding increase in system complexity. In order to adequately prepare today’s computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering students for their future careers, the special problems with embedded sys- tems development must be adequately addressed in their education. In this paper, we report on our multi-pronged approach to curriculum development that specifically incorporates embedded systems into a suite of relevant courses: software engineering, operating systems, digital system design, and computer system

undergraduate engineering students to experience the benefits of the researchexperience is “priceless.” In this paper the authors presented just a few of the many beneficialaspects of exposing undergraduate students to the research process. Working with a mentorpermitted the students the freedom to explore a topic on their own volition and discover by trialand error the struggles and elation that come with “original” work. True, the material was notnew for the mentors but it was for the students.In addition to the traditional value of the research experience, there were a number of ancillarybenefits for our undergraduate students. We are a diverse urban institution of higher education,with a significant number of international students. The Fellowship
