The goal was to provide support for attendees to develop the sophistication oftheir ideas over the course of the symposium. Overall, the intent of combined activities was toempower faculty who were already leading innovative change in their classrooms to becomeagents of change in their institution or in the engineering education community at large. Thisempowerment stems from the information provided as well as the supportive community ofpractice that developed among attendees. The intent and initial outcomes of the first

Recommendations are based oncommon themes that emerged across cohorts from the longitudinal case study analysis, such asthe impact of incorporating an arts discipline in STEM, overcoming imposter syndrome, andusing storytelling techniques to communicate across disciplines. The results provide implicationsfor early career faculty researchers interested in bridging the divide between STEAM disciplinesto develop creative solutions to the world’s grand challenges and provide a baseline for

According to the CanadianAcademy of Engineering, creativity and innovation are indispensable qualities for engineers.Over the years, Canadian engineering schools have developed a number of curricular and extra-curricular activities and programs in order to increase the exposure of engineering students tothese important topics.The Faculty of Engineering of the University of Ottawa is a medium-size (by Canadian standards– 1,800 undergraduate and 600 graduate students; 115 regular faculty and 65

A framework forconducting an undergraduate „Technology Project Management‟ course is presented thatincludes delivery approaches to students from both online (Distance Education) class offeringsand on-campus (Face-to-face) class offerings. Stand-alone, asynchronous, or synchronouslearning modalities are incorporated into the framework.To evaluate the framework, a composite evaluation of survey, responses, and assessmentsanalysis are examined.

Computing: The Capabilities and Risks1 AbstractWithin the computer science arena, cloud computing has become a major topic of interest.Major computing corporations tout the advantages of such systems, including high reliability,scalability, remote availability, and other advantages. Major industries employ these types ofsystems in their daily business.In the academic arena, cloud computing usage, aside from basic e-mail and web hosting, hasbeen slower to develop. Some universities have outsourced email management and other limitedadministrative services. Outside of this area, the usage of cloud computing has generally beenlimited to individual faculty members using remote services. However, with the rapid escalationin cloud computing service
