Session 2002-335 Are Engineering Design Graphics Educators Satisfied with their Jobs? A National “Snapshot” into the Lives of These Professionals Aaron C. Clark, Alice Y. Scales NC State UniversityAbstractFor the past twenty years, professionals in the field of engineering design graphics have seenmajor changes in both the content taught and the type of tools used in the classroom. With thesechanges, few have looked at job satisfaction among educators in engineering/technical graphics.Therefore, the authors of this research study investigated educators' contentment with

Engineering Education, 2009 Impact of the NNRNE program on ocean engineering educationAbstractNational Naval Responsibility for Naval Engineers (NNRNE) program was established by theOffice of Naval Research in 2001 to help ensure the future US capability to develop creative andinnovative ship designers and designs to effectively meet defense needs and commercial marketopportunities. It was also recognized that the universities need to sustain an adequate researchexpertise, through working on long-term problems of importance to the Navy, so that anadequate pipeline of new researchers, engineers, and faculty exists to meet these anticipatedfuture needs and opportunities. The program led to the formation of several university consortiafor

regional industries and government must continuously develop their innovative capacity(intellectual property) to stay competitive and sustain economic growth. Graduate educationmust reflect this change, understand the new relationships between customer needs, directedscientific research, and engineering/technology leadership. For the U.S. to sustain globalcompetitiveness, traditional graduate studies must undergo educational reform. The three broadmandates for this collaborative effort are: • To create new models of needs-driven, professionally oriented graduate education through the master and doctoral levels that better support engineering and technology innovation. • To involve industry and government as key partners in

evidence has shown that interdisciplinary work is becoming increasingly relevant tosuccessful innovation activities. For example, Fleming [21], showed that teams made up of participantsfrom varied backgrounds publish patents with a greater success rate than those that are homogenous.Some researchers argue that STEM education needs to be more interdisciplinary because the workenvironment is increasingly interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary regardless of whether thefoundational educational environment taught this way [22, 23, 24]. Based on this, it is clear that“interdisciplinary connectors are critical to advancing innovation” [25]. Interdisciplinary educationrefers to the process when students are required to utilize the foundational knowledge
support andencouragement for women and minorities in engineering, most of these programs emphasizeundergraduate education. And many institutions, especially in this era of tight budgets, arescaling back the initiatives they have put in place. In addition, by their structure, with moreemphasis on specific research groups or departments, graduate programs are less likely to beinfluenced by institutional diversity programs which are in place. Thus it is quite likely that awoman or minority student who does enter a graduate degree program will be moving from anenvironment with a strong support system into a more traditional environment. The number ofrole models and potential mentors may be much smaller than at the undergraduate institution,and much

Particular attention is given to differences in advising experiences between studentsworking with female faculty and students working with male faculty. Research findings willhelp higher education institutions develop programs and policies to improve the experiences ofdoctoral students and to address the gender disparity in engineering.The research questions are as follows: Are female doctoral students more likely to
