Staff reporter AnneMarie Squeo writes that cutbacks in government funds to aerospace and defense firmmake jobs in those industries less secure, so younger engineers are shying away fromthem. Young engineers are instead being attracted by the Internet economy, and itscomputer and software firms” (Digest 1 May 2000).Using three years of the International Engineering Education Digest as a data source, andwith the luxury of hindsight, four major themes emerge from the world of engineeringeducation:Ø Changes forced by the fragile world economy;Ø Student and professional mobility;Ø The use of communications and instructional technology;Ø The increasingly loud voice of the social imperative.These individual themes are complex enough, but when

development was grounded in Eccles’ Expectancy Value Theory (EVT), aswell as literature on returning students and a pilot study. The survey included questions aboutstudents’ motivation for returning, their previous work and school experience, their future careerplans, the challenges of graduate school, and their strategies for adapting to these challenges.This paper presents the development of the survey, in which we highlight best practices from theliterature that informed the development and refinement process. We show iterations of thesurvey and data from the advisory board and our cognitive interviews that informed the finalversion of the instrument.I. IntroductionWe define returners as students who spend at least five years working as

Resultsgenerated from the survey are consistent with pre- and post-testing, verbal protocol analysis,team interviews, and a variety of reflective writing assignments. Results include an analysis ofthe difference between the means for class-averaged growth and class-averaged emphasis in eachof the WCERTE outcome areas.For students, the greatest

Challenges, we argue that effectively responding to big Page 22.1406.8social problems requires rethinking engineering—both what it is understood to be and how it ispracticed. This section and the next draw on two additional NAE publications, The Engineer of2020 and Educating the Engineer of 2020, in an effort to identify approaches to engineering thatdo not rely so heavily on the problematic assumptions described above.Instead of groundless confidence in the adequacy of current or emerging technologies forresponding to grand challenges, we argue that acknowledging uncertainties—in both existingengineering approaches and in understandings of the

In sum,the potential to advance knowledge from this research is evident in the applicability ofengineering leadership development for both men and women engineering students.References[1] Block, K., Gonzalez, A.

Industry In the report "Fragrances and Perfumes Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2019 - 2024)" (2018), according to the research paper, the value of the perfume market is $52.7 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $72.3 billion by 2024. Consumers' spends on personal care products are increasing (Mordorintelligence, 2018). Research institutions have also found that the Asia-Pacific region has the most significant growth potential. Especially for young consumers, they are changing from batch perfumes to premium perfumes. Under the impetus of emerging, middle-class consumers and millennials pursuing high-end lifestyles, scents play an increasingly important role in their lifestyles (Mordorintelligence, 2018).https

Dr.Heising, as well as Drs. Farrar, Bird and Bix, was heavily involved as a co-convenor of the conference, which involved the participation of twelve engineeringcolleges in the Midwest. This conference provided a wealth of information on the statusof women in engineering, and the barriers and challenges facing women in pursuingcareers in science, math, engineering and technology (SMET) fields. Scholarly workbased on conference participation was also substantially utilized in the engineeringcollege diversity class, including the works of several internationally

The tiger team did, however, provide a convergent element to the class sincethey shared observations of effective practices and other relevant information between teams.For example, one team was having difficulty conducting interviews since the email invitationthey used was confusing and poorly written. The tiger team shared the invitation formats fromother teams to improve the team’s effectiveness in obtaining interviews.

Thisdescription of technology indicates that the paradigm of diffusion research focuses on thoseinnovations which have relatively well defined outcomes where one of the desired feature for theinnovation is to reduce the uncertainty in the cause-effect relationship.

This type of data was presentedto the requesters for all four institutions, which prompted them to request similar informationfor more institutions such as Texas Southern University.

Because the professional environment andthe relationships between professions are dynamic entities, jurisdictional claims and theassociated professional bodies of knowledge are constantly in flux. As Abbott demonstrates, astrong profession must be able to adapt its BOK in response to emerging needs, opportunities,and threats.Thus we can expect that the Civil Engineering BOK will continue to evolve over time, as a resultof such influences as: new engineering challenges (e.g., climate change, emphasis on sustainability, energy shortages, terrorism, increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters); new technologies (e.g., building information management, high-performance materials, smart buildings and sensing

education scholarship has shifted. Engineering education research has emerged as a legitimateform of academic scholarship [1]. Meanwhile, many chemical engineering programs have shiftedto greater emphasis on research productivity, and professional track faculty have emerged as animportant resource in delivering high quality instruction to larger and larger class sizes [2].Additionally, new challenges continue to face the field, including shifting undergraduateenrollments [3], the need to prepare graduates to use new technologies and address emergingdirections in the field [4], and continued calls for an engineering education that leveragesresearch-based practices and supports equity [5,6].In light of this changing landscape, an ad hoc committee was

In this work-in-progress, we tried tounderstand international engineering students’ learning outcomes and the associatedlearning experiences.Literature ReviewThe number of international students engaged in higher education has been continuallygrowing, from 2 million in 1999 to 5 million in 2016[5]. Also, nearly one-third ofOECD study-abroad students at tertiary education level were enrolled in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields of study, with 17% of themin engineering, manufacturing, and construction [5]. Hence, the investigations of thelearning experiences of international engineering students have continued

The study employs a mixed method (quan > qual)approach to inform the development of a model to create more inclusive engineers throughstudent participation in HEPs. First, a survey was designed which included Likert-scaled itemsfrom two existing instruments, the Engineering Professional Responsibility Assessment (EPRA)[13] and the Valuing Diversity and Enacting Inclusion in Engineering (VDEIE) [14].
