Since Fall 2014, he has studied cognitive research in engineering design with support from Dr. Kathryn Jablokow.

engineeringmanagement but its graduate degrees include a Masters in Engineering Management, a Master’sof Science in Engineering Management, and a Doctor of Philosophy in EngineeringManagement. The department has traditionally taught the undergraduate course in engineeringeconomy as a service course for the college. The four-course minor grew from this course.The courses in the minor are key skills for an engineering manager or an engineer working in ahigh technology, project-driven environment. These courses, while not prerequisites for ODU’sgraduate programs in engineering management (with the exception of a courses in statisticalconcepts), provide a firm foundation for graduate study in engineering management. The coursesin the minor are taught by a mix of

Wewere fortunate to be surrounded by world-class scholars and to be immersed daily in the richintellectual atmosphere that is unique to an ERI. So, it was only natural that we considered onlytop-ranked ERIs when searching for academic positions. We were fortunate to land tenure-trackpositions in engineering at the University of Michigan. We were hired in with a large cohort ofyoung engineering faculty, about twenty in total.The first few years at this institution were a blur, as anyone
many studies in engineering design thatcan be of value to design educators. In this paper we describe the methods, data, and results of acitation* analysis of journal and conference articles concerning design education. Our goal wasto determine the extent to which design educators bring outside knowledge into the classroom orreference design research. The citation analysis was conducted by selecting articles with“design” in the title from selected engineering journals and conferences from the past five years.Bibliographic entries from each of the resulting 274 articles were entered into a database, andthis information was imported into a spreadsheet to analyze the number and kinds of citations.For example, the information could be catalogued

directly impact on both the undergraduate education quality and future graduate school enrollment. Our scholars are typically concerned whether their undergraduate research would take too much of their time and they would not have time left for their own course study. In order to help them better understand the undergraduate research process, during the orientation at the beginning of each year, we invited more experienced scholars who participated in undergraduate research to share their experience and how that could positively impact their study and future goals. 3. Peer mentoring is useful. Students learn from one another and from their seniors. When they are uncertain about something, they turn to their

Technicalcommunication skills are critical for engineering graduates’ success as they enter an increasinglyglobalized market and must interact with those from various cultures. The importance ofcommunication for career success is reflected by ABET’s

, it is important to note that the study was from a single institution. Therefore,one should be careful in generalizing the results. Furthermore, it is important to note thatstudents self-select into the program. While the researchers accounted for entering academicability, it is possible that FIG students have a higher commitment to both the field of engineeringand degree attainment compared to non-FIG students. Tinto’s model suggests that highercommitment would lead to higher retention and graduation rates and could explain thedifferences found in the study. In other words, it is difficult to conclude a causal effect of FIGparticipation given the complexity of student attrition
conclusion arguesthat using story-centered approaches can enhance student engagement and understanding bypresenting complex engineering concepts within historical and cultural contexts. London et. al.[5] presented an engineering education pioneers project, which introduces graduate students inthe field of engineering education research. This study emphasizes the value of using thesestories to inspire and motivate students to engage in engineering education research, which isproven to be very effective. Gaynor and Crebbin [6] claim that historical studies haveconsiderable potential in the education of engineers. They argue that offering interesting casestudies for students to consider and draw conclusions about the importance of an

The lack of diversityin engineering presents a pressing national issue for several reasons: the United States is losingits advantage as the world’s leader in research and development, the lack of potentialcontributions from diverse perspectives for the development of innovative technologies, and theprinciple of social equity stipulating that careers should be open to all people, unconstrained byfactors such as gender or race
partially-distributed teams assign higher collaboration ratingsto one another than they do to geographically-dispersed membersAlthough the authors will start this research program in an engineering educational setting, aspartially-distributed teams are common in work settings, it is expected that project findings canalso be applied to enhance the effectiveness of partially-distributed teams in other fields andwork settings as well. Furthermore, as recommendations and guidelines are developed foreducational settings as a result of this study, their use will enhance engineering faculty’s abilityto prepare students to function on partially-distributed teams when the students graduate and goout into the work force.Research ApproachTo achieve the

courses to FE Civil Exam topics relied on coursetitles and short descriptions available on institutional websites. The absence of detailed syllabusreviews means that nuanced topic coverage within courses might have yet to be fully captured.Addressing these limitations in future research would strengthen the findings and provide a morecomprehensive understanding of curriculum-exam alignment.Future work should include a similar analysis of Civil Engineering programs to better quantifythe differences and overlaps between Civil and Construction curricula as they relate to the FECivil Exam. This would provide deeper insights into the gaps that Construction graduates face.Additionally, studies are needed to determine the topics that should be included

Employment and Academics Page 26.1017.2AbstractThe traditional view is that academics should be the primary focus of full-time universitystudents, especially in demanding majors like Engineering and Computer Science. Internshipsare widely touted as great ways to add practical experience, connect theory with practice,motivate, and help produce well-prepared, ready-to-contribute graduates. We report on a work-study survey of seniors at a large School of Engineering and Computer Science that challengesthese traditional views and suggests that, among internships, other employment, and academics,“other employment” may be the centerpiece of the undergraduate experience.IntroductionInternships play an important
