. There are currently 47 undergraduateprograms divided into five faculties, namely the Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering,Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and the Facultyof Education. There are 152 graduate programs in graduate schools of natural sciences, socialsciences, informatics, applied mathematics and marine sciences. The official language utilizedby instructors at METU is English.

understanding. This is concerning due to the reality of engineering inpractice which contrasts starkly with the prescribed curricula that is present in engineeringprograms. Engineers in practice navigate ambiguity, poorly defined problems, and diversestakeholder needs and perspectives, necessitating creative approaches to meet the needs of novelproblems. While this is not a nail in the coffin of these young engineers, it is paramount that theimportance of these skills are not lost on both faculty educating these students and the studentsthemselves.A foundational part of both engineering and critical thinking is ethics. No response in this studymentioned ethics or anything tangential to ethics in their responses. This is a major gap inunderstanding that

The previous course was transformed into a completely new 3 credit combinedLecture and Project Lab course (2 lecture meetings and 1 two-hour lab meeting per week). Thenew design course began with approximately 55 First-Year Engineering students.

Prism’s January 2004 issue reports that in 200267,301 bachelor’s engineering degrees were conferred in the US, of which 21,813 were in Elec-trical / Computer Engineering (ECE), 8,799 in Civil, 5,570 in Chemical, and a mere 1,254 werein BME5. The result is a clearly increasing gap between the demand for qualified BME profes-sionals, and available programs for educating them, causing a significant, yet unmet, nationalneed. The obvious solution to address this need is to create new undergraduate BME degree pro-grams. However, creating a new program requires significant resources and a substantial invest-ment, which is difficult to attain even during the best of economic conditions. From

In a related issue, we have identified two broadcategories of schools building flight hardware: “flagship” schools and“independent” schools. We define a flagship university as one designated by itsgovernment as a national center for spacecraft engineering research anddevelopment. Thus, by definition, flagships enjoy financial sponsorship, access tofacilities and launch opportunities that the independent schools do not. There is agrowing disparity in both launch rates and mission success between the twoclasses; generally speaking, flagship schools build bigger satellites with

Despite these efforts, companies continue to lag in pluggingthe ever-expanding talent gap.

United States tend to learn‬‭about nuclear energy by way of disasters like Chernobyl or acts of war like the bombs dropped‬‭on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, during World War II. Indeed, public sentiment on nuclear‬‭power is evolving, but many people are still fearful of nuclear energy or generally confused‬‭about how the technology works [4]. Public engagement plans and K-12 initiatives have been‬‭launched or are under development to address these concerns [5]. But much work remains.‬‭Thus, working with university faculty members, a small-scale plan to increase interest in nuclear‬‭energy among high school students began to emerge several years ago.
