within the last30 years. Some commentators note that using current cases is important, especially since ourstudents, on the whole, are relatively young; they may lack the ability to relate to older cases. Ifindeed, as Czech novelist Milan Kundera suggests in his Book of Laughter and Forgetting,history is a process of forgetting [1], this argument makes sense.However, this author firmly believes that students can involve themselves intellectually andemotionally in historical cases, those older than 50 years, that there is valuable information to begleaned from those cases, and that is it possible to discern whether or not we learn from the past.To that end, this paper examines two historical cases: Triangle Shirtwaist Fire (1911) and theDonora

Many new engineers learn largely opaque organizational practices and unwrittenrules of advancement as they go—with some having more informational advantage than others.One such practice is a developmental, or “stretch”, assignment. We define stretch assignments asinformally allocated work

regional campuses, however, there are constraintson how those funds get distributed among all campuses. With the benefits come the challengesassociated with regional campus teaching and learning. These challenges are discussed below: 1. Limited Resources: The regional campuses have limited resources when it comes to offering engineering or engineering technology courses. These courses are lab-based courses and must have all the resources to ensure consistency in the type of project being offered. Course coordinators from the central campus are assigned the task to form regional campus teams and discuss the availability of resources to offer the first-year engineering courses. The first-year courses are revised often

This disparity is important to note, not only because theSTEM disciplines tend to offer higher incomes and a more stable workforce, but also because theUnited States is currently experiencing an increase in jobs in STEM disciplines that is not beingmatched by job-seeking graduates3. These findings are seen across race, meaning that whilethere are many minority students who could greatly benefit from jobs in STEM
