The second involves the processing of graduate studentfinancial support. The enhancements provided by implementation of these services aredocumented and reported. The Structured Query Language (SQL) was used to build a relationaldatabase and implement these improvements.1 Similar procedures could easily be incorporatedfor use at other educational institutions.This work was motivated by the management of the graduate student program in the WoodruffSchool of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Software Engineering program provides this deeper coverage in the upper-level technical elective course Principles of Concurrent Software Systems.For a modeling methodology to be useful for the design of concurrent systems it should meet twocriteria. First, the formalisms should be at a level that reduces the scale and complexity of thesystem sufficiently to allow the software engineer to analyze its important concurrent propertiessuch as deadlock and progress checks. Second, there should be tool support available so that theanalysis is done mechanically rather than by hand. The Finite State Process (FSP) modelingtechnique described by Magee and Kramer satisfies both of these criteria. Based on finite statemachines, the basics of FSP modeling has

While institutions of higher education do address these needs in the formof financial assistance, and programs, sustaining policies and cultural change that address thecollege experiences of these students are still needed.One way of understanding the cultural change necessary to ensure minoritized students aresuccessful in engineering has been through the study of engineering identity. The necessity forcontinuing studies about engineering identity development of low-SES students must beemphasized to address cultural change and systemic opportunities within departments ofengineering.

Even if this argument proves to be true,improving the efficacy of engineering education will create a steady supply of motivated and well-trained engineers, a goal Teitelbaum supports.One challenge universities face in meeting that demand is high rates of attrition amongengineering majors. Many studies document the “leaky pipeline,” and strive to understand thereasons students leave STEM programs during their undergraduate years 3,9–12.

Some programs are reformatting the mechanics sequence, while other schoolsare changing the presentation of the entire curriculum with problem based learning, clinics andstudio labs.The Next StepsThe Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Villanova University undertook thissurvey in preparation for making educated adjustments to its existing curriculum. In addition tothis survey, a prioritized catalog of engineering mechanics topics was developed. The cataloglooks at each course (e.g. Statics) and breaks it into the specific subjects within the course (e.g.two-dimensional particle equilibrium and equivalent force systems). Each subject within all ofthe mechanics courses was assessed for use in later courses within the civil

accountabilityof educational systems. There has been significant interest in the broad applications of qualitymanagement in higher education. However, EC-2000 is a focused attempt to bring qualityassurance to the field of engineering education in a very formal and direct manner. EC-2000promotes the innovation and continuous improvement of engineering education. The assessmentprocess must demonstrate that the outcomes important to the mission of the institution and theobjectives of the program are being measured. ISO-9000 quality standards provide guidelinesfor structuring quality assurance system and are used for any business. EC-2000 is specific toengineering education. There are similarities and differences between EC-2000 and ISO-9000standards. Some of

The guidingprinciples for this curriculum were to: • Build a new curriculum modeled on the engineering office of the 21st century. The curriculum will stress teamwork (including the ability to work effectively with other disciplines) and oral, graphical, and written communication skills. Engineering analysis and design will be examined at the system level. • Use the most current tools and technologies for modeling and analysis. • Incorporate modern educational methods in the learning process so that faculty become
