of the goals of an education in engineering would be different. It is the purpose of this study to investigate, through qualitative measures, the opinions ofpracticing engineers in both industry and academia to determine if there is a misalignment ofgoals of education. Thus, the research question guiding this study is: ―How do electricalengineers in industry and academia differ in their conceptions of the goals of engineeringeducation?‖ The analysis of differences in educational goals between practitioner groups inelectrical engineering can be the beginning of a process whereby common values are foundwithin the profession, and academia can begin to better align engineering education to thosecommon values. This alignment should better

Although this studysurveyed only faculty and alumni of Purdue University, and generalizing these findings to a broaderlevel would be inappropriate from a true research point of view, the fact remains that graduateeducation for technologists is an important issue that must be addressed.As more individuals graduating from technology-related programs enter the work force, the need forgraduate education appropriate for their future professional development will become an importantpriority in remaining competitive in the international marketplace.

In contrast, this paper will provide a broad based assessment ofapplied web-based technology for higher education. This research was conducted via a surveycompleted by university and college faculty from numerous 4-year institutions. To gain aneffective assessment, eleven categories of web-based course delivery tools, such as chatroomsand digitized lectures, were included in this survey. In addition, for each course delivery toolcategory, course instructors were asked for the frequency of application of the particular tool andtheir perceptions of importance, efficiency of use, and instructor satisfaction for each tool.Accordingly, this paper presents the

with many research-oriented privatecolleges and universities in the US). The greater reliance on government funds make thepolitical climate of education in Europe more sensitive. For example, public rankings ofengineering and computer science programs in the US are common and accepted, withlittle turmoil within the individual schools; however, such rankings are not common inEurope. A second difference is the administrative structure within the schools. InEurope the departments (sub-disciplines) are essentially independent units and reportdirectly to the rector (provost) or associate rector. The dean of the collection ofdepartments has no significant budget authority and hence lacks administrative control.While this situation is changing (at

Rubrics provide information that can assist multiple instructors in gradingassignments. With common information, grades will be more consistent. A rubric can also be ofbenefit where a single grader, making an assessment over a period of time, may be influenced byfatigue. From a management point of view, the moderation time saved through the use of a rubricin maintaining consistency, can also contribute to quality assurance associated with universityaccreditation processes.15Rubrics have a long history of use in educational assessment16 and researchers have shown theadded benefits of computerization using either personal computing software17

mainstay in ECE education. A holistic understandingof ECE concepts is highly dependent on students’ grasp of key topics in mathematics, yet studentsare often intimidated by the mathematics required for the major and struggle to see why mathmatters. The dismal consequence is that students lack motivation and confidence, and eventuallyabandon the major.In 2015, the ECE department received a five-year RED (Revolutionizing Engineering Depart-ments) grant from the National Science Foundation to revamp the current engineering educationalsystem. Performing research that leads to scalable and sustainable change in engineering educa-tion, the department is, in effect, throwing away courses to help students learn more meaningfullyand effectively.

Education (MOE) has initiated the ‘The Research and EducationAdvancement Project’ (REAP) to assure both quantity and quality of the manpower can meet theneeds. The major goal is to re-arrange the educational resources in such a way that they can bemore efficiently used while the quality of graduates can be further raised. Firstly, several so-called the “strategic industries” are identified depending on the country’s economy plans. In themean time, the programs that matching with those strategic industries are initiated one afteranother by MOE. Unlike the traditional educational programs, the REAP emphasizes the inter-university collaborations. Among these many capstone programs in REAP, the precisionmechatronics program, started in 1997, includes
