1375 The Emergence of Engineering Education as a Scholarly Discipline Phillip C. Wankat School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University “It is essential that those selected to teach be trained properly for this function.”2AbstractChanges in engineering education are part of a national trend to develop the scholarship ofteaching and learning in all disciplines. As many engineering faculty have realized, contentknowledge alone is not sufficient to be a good teacher. Pedagogical skills are required as well.Unfortunately, this need has been only partially met with workshops

Problem StatementResearch shows that over 50% students who try an introductory course in programming do notcomplete the course. Those that stay oftentimes fail to meet the requirements to pass the course[1]. At HSIs and those with large populations of 1st generation college students, such as FIU, thisis particularly problematic. The failure/ drop rate for FIU’s two introductory programmingcourses is over 50%. Other required courses that entail strong programming and

layer communications protocols, frequency response, and broadbandtechnologies. We discuss how this content can be presented effectively using just a few credithours of the IT program.IntroductionThe emerging discipline of Information Technology (IT) has many origins, depending on theparticular educational institution hosting the program1. These programs have emerged fromComputer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Technology and Telecommunicationsdepartments, among others. As would be expected from such diverse backgrounds, there isconsiderable variability in the curricula vouchsafed at these institutions. However, there is acommon body of knowledge that ties IT programs together – what has come to be called in thecommunity the Pillars of
Session 2270 Retention of Minority Undergraduates in Information Technology Roli Varma University of New MexicoAbstractUndergraduate minority student retention is a major problem in core information technologyfields namely computer science (CS) and computer engineering (CE) in American colleges anduniversities. Even though increasing numbers of minority students are declaring CS and CE astheir major, departments are having a difficult time retaining and graduating them. The minoritystudents are often less well prepared for CS or CE education and are preoccupied
Session 3592 Barriers to Overcome: Women in Information Technology Roli Varma University of New Mexico, AlbuquerqueAbstractWomen are under-represented in information technology (IT) disciplines, similar to physicalsciences and engineering. With the rapid growth of IT and its profound impact on productivityand national economy, tremendous career opportunities in IT have emerged over the last fewyears. Furthermore, there is a shortage of IT workers, with the U.S. depending upon foreignworkers to address the growing workforce needs. The gender equity in IT is critical

Certaindesirable academic and professional attributes are coming into clear view. Others require furtherstudy, development, testing, and implementation.This paper summarizes the heritage from which Systems Engineering entered the 21st century.Several emerging attributes of Systems Engineering education and professional practice areaddressed. These include the

Theauthors openly discussed the pros and cons between the major traditional educational paradigmsand the new emerging paradigms without reaching any consensus. It is realized that it would beappropriate to raise some of the important issues and differences here in order to more openlydiscuss them with the audience during the panel discussion session. Differences of opinionbetween the authors may lead to passionate debates during the panel discussion session with newperspectives.The U.S. is losing its leadership in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM
