To date, interviews have been conducted at four the six institutions, butthe present report will be based on data from the first three institutions at whichinterviews have been completed.To date, several themes have emerged from analysis.• Each of the institutions initiated curricular improvement by developing a pilot program and offering it to a relatively small number of students. Initiating improvement via pilot programs is well-accepted developmental strategy for engineering artificial systems, but it offers benefits and presents challenges in an educational environment. Expanding from a pilot curriculum to a curriculum for an entire college of engineering also presents challenges in

The industry value includes the revenues ofcompanies whose primary activity is the construction of residential, commercial, industrial, androads and highways. Total construction expenditure of the country in 2007 was $175 billion. It isexpected to be $370 billion by the end of 20132.

Chemicalengineering students are exposed to a variety of new technologies. However, some of thosetechnologies are developing into official degree programs and concentrations in their own right.It is feasible that significant parts of the chemical engineering curriculum can form the foundationof these

The topic is totally self contained, and students typically are already interestedbecause of the glamour associated with the word “digital” these days. However, digital circuitscan be enormously complex and tricky. The goal of an introductory class must be to inspireinterest in students without giving too much information at once. Students must be dazzled, butnot intimidated. Page 22.1394.4Engineers are always tempted to employ the latest gizmo or most recent technology in theirdesigns.

Surface chemistry deals with interactions at boundaries where two phases meet. Equilibrium states as well as kinetic events at such interfaces depend upon the phenomena of surface tension, adsorption and desorption, condensation and evaporation, and the like.

Prensky argues that“computer and video games provide one of the few structures … that is capable of meeting manyof the Gamer Generation’s changing learning needs and requirements”2.Although the emergence of the “Gamer Generation” is a recent phenomenon, the literature oneducational use of games dates back to the early 1970s3-8.

A typical problem is: given the current growth rate of oilproduction, in what year will known reserves be depleted? The exponential growth model,although offering reasonable results initially, becomes less accurate in the later stages of resourceexploitation as issues of scarcity, cost, and technological hurdles become important.
