introduction to computers,networking, the Internet, and skills training for applications that range from word processing tospreadsheets to mathematical tools such as Matlab. While such a course was appropriate in thepast, the current crop of entering freshman is increasingly savvy about the use of computers, thenetwork and the Internet. Almost every student uses e-mail on a regular basis and has used word-processing software for writing reports. In addition, there is an increasing cohort of students whohave used basic spreadsheet functions and have basic programming skills.On the other hand, problem solving is a skill essential to all forms of engineering and the basicsof problem solving, if learned early, can greatly improve student learning and

Broadening participation is a term used todescribe increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields. This includesproviding STEM exposure, access, and opportunities for individuals from underrepresentedgroups. According to the

The proposition that engineering educators whohave a philosophy of education will be in a better position to help schools design engineeringprogrammes is illustrated by the application of Whitehead’s model to a specific case. It is foreducators to arrive at their own defensible philosophies of education.Recent developments in philosophy and engineeringThere has been a recent interest in philosophy and engineering.

Advantages of ELNs include the ability tosearch electronically; electronic linkage and storage of potentially large data files (includingnewer types of electronic files, such as video); and increased accessibility and collaborativefunctions. A number of different software solutions are available, usually grouped by technicalfield and potential application of the work. Using the course management system (CMS)platform

[2] emphasized the importance of reflective practices in a professional degreeby stating that the use of reflective practices while dealing with complex problemsdifferentiates “experts” in the profession from “novices.” According to Siewiorek et al. [3],undergraduate engineers learn to work on their problem-solving skills in preparation to workeffectively on real-world problems, and in this process, reflection is extremely important fornovices as reflection causes a shift in the individual thinking from self-centeredness to self-awareness. Having enhanced self-awareness takes students a step closer to being

Director18 says: “Engineering education mustchange to better prepare engineers to work in global environment”. Lucena and Downey 20 ask: By defining problems in mathematical terms and problem solving as the appropriate application of equations, do engineering curricula prepare students adequately to work with engineers trained in distinct national traditions? How might engineering students be trained better to work in environments where the need for negotiation and compromise in the definition of problems is more the

literaturethat focused on engineering student retention is potentially not applicable to Veteran students.Furthermore, Veteran students entering higher education have been found to view the collegeexperience as a means of forming identity self-perceptions [6]. This idea of social isolationcoupled with the traditional “survival of the fittest” model present in many engineering programsmay fail to provide a learning environment in which students in general, including Veteranstudents, feel sufficiently motivated to remain in an engineering program [7]. This is furtheremphasized by the fact that, at the authors’ institution, attrition is disproportionately high inVeteran engineering students as compared to their peers [8].A preliminary analysis of Veteran

perspective accurately, while affective aspects stress the emotional facets ofsharing another’s perspective and being moved to help. Following the work of Smith and Spencer,researchers focused almost exclusively on either the cognitive or affective aspects of empathytreating them as separate until the 1900s [19].In the 1970s and 1980s, there was a movement toward the integration of these separate empathyresearch areas and with it a growing view that “the cognitive and affective components ofempathy comprise an interdependent system in which each influences the other, and which nevercan be fully understood as long as research efforts concentrate on one aspect to the relativeexclusion of the other” [19, p. 3].

This tool thus has made research process much more efficient, accurate,and productive.IntroductionThe primary objective of presented work was to develop a speech recognition engine - analysisand testing environment in MATLAB. The problem encountered when working with speechrecognition projects is the fact that the processed data comes in the form of a large collection ofvectors (e.g., matrix) that typically represent energies of a speech sounds at various frequencybands [1]. Developed testing utility is extremely useful because it provides visual representationof various complex parameters represented as patters, vectors or scalars extracted from time-dependent speech signal.

outside of, and in reaction to, traditional “liberal arts” colleges.Accordingly, the majority of an engineering student’s time is spent on science, math, andspecialized technical courses. The minimum Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) requirements for engineering programs are one year of math and scienceand one and one-half year of engineering topics; there is no minimum length requirement for theliberal arts (ABET 2001). Compared to medicine and law students who typically earn anundergraduate degree in liberal arts or basic science before they enter graduate-level professionalprograms, engineers typically take few liberal arts courses outside of science and math and stoptheir education at the baccalaureate level (Russell et
