are getting a collegeeducation that does not cover a critical area of human knowledge. No matter what their major,technology and the work of engineers will have a great influence on every college graduate’slife. To serve their students, colleges and universities must do more to include engineering andtechnology in the general core curriculum. This need has been recognized at the K-12 level, andSTEM has become a cornerstone of primary and secondary education. A college graduate needsthis as well and, as with other subjects, a college graduate needs to know this at a level beyondK-12. Engineering and technology needs to be part of their college education.Including engineering and technology in the general core curriculum will be beneficial to

Toavoid frustration, guidelines are presented to help the new hire avoid “trial-and-error” mistakesand they fall into three general categories: peer networking, teaching skills, and timemanagement. Of these, teaching skills require the greatest attention. The new professor isencouraged to incorporate active learning exercises into his lecture and to integrate cooperativelearning project in the course syllabus. Finally, attending a teaching workshop such as the NETIsponsored by ASEE is a great way to acquire an introduction to effective teaching techniques.IntroductionMuch has been written about a

). Most of the strain will be on research universities who educate only 19% ofcollege students but account for 42% of the B.S. and 52% of the M.S. degrees in S&E. A keychallenge to undergraduate education will be producing enough qualified K-12 math and scienceteachers to meet the increase in not only student population but in retirement of experiencedteachers. This is a topic that UNM and DP is much concerned about. UNM’s ENLACE Program,through funding by the Kellogg Foundation, has created a Hispanic Teachers Pipeline that seeksto produce more Hispanic teachers by various methods, including mentoring high school andmiddle school students by champion teachers.There is some mixed news in minority engineering graduate education.

We believe that ethics should be on anengineering student’s mind from the first day they begin their education. Here is a selection fromthe student papers.“Before I just thought of engineering as problem solving. Ethics never even crossed my mind.… Now I see that there is more to it than just technical problem solving.”“I did not realize how conscious engineers need to be about the implications of their designs toprevent dangerous and unjust situations from arising.”“This course helped me understand that engineering is hard not only because you need to beproficient in

IntroductionIn the recent years there has been a major discussion on the time it takes for students enrolled inpublic institutions of higher education to receive a four year undergraduate degree. The numbersfor four-year and six-year graduation rates are typically very low for most public institutions thatdo not have selective admission policies. The numbers are as low as 10% graduation rates infour year and lower than 30% in six years.
