curricula and havedeveloped a variety of specialized programs in order to achieve that goal. These educationalopportunities can be classified into several categories: engineering management, systemsengineering, engineering entrepreneurship, and leadership, internship, and other multi-disciplinary programs. Most of these programs are designed to introduce engineers to thebusiness world through courses, project teams, and interaction with business enterprises andbusiness leaders. Most schools also offer minors or individual courses designed to introducestudents of all majors to technology and its impact on business. Overall, schools try to offer avariety of courses and extracurricular activities that allow students to gain a well-roundededucation

A visit to the offices of Brown & Root, Vickers, a firm responsible for the design of off-shore oil drillingplatforms, included a series of presentations on past and present engineering projects, their corporate structure,Computer Aided Design techniques and other aspects of the design and development process. Students had anopportunity to experiment with their CAD system. We visited the Channel Tunnel project, the largest construction project in Europe at that time. In the earlyyears of the program we toured the construction site, but in following years our visit was

The curriculum follows the modular international engineering educationcurriculum that attends fully the education rules for the university level of formation in thecountry. It is a very dynamic and rich program, developed in modules, followed in severalcountries in the world. It follows the trend of global formation of professionals, mainly to attendthe need of a prepared engineering educator to act in the several different cultural environments,which mobility has imposed as a fact of life for researchers and teachers at graduation level. Newcompetencies of educators are needed such as: evaluation management; developmentcompetencies; communication skills; teamwork; ethics and intercultural competencies. Thisengineering

soleadministrator of the inventory in this study. The KAI forms were distributed to the studentsduring an orientation session prior to the beginning of the program, but, as mentioned previously,they were not used in the actual design of the project teams for this study.Reported KAI ScoresA summary of the ILTM students’ total KAI scores is presented in Table 1 below. A few simpleobservations concerning this group of students as a whole can be made from these data. First,this group was slightly more adaptive than both the general U.S. population (mean of 95) andU.S. engineers and managers (means of 97), although the difference was not large in either case.Still, a difference of only 5 points between the means of two groups is noticeable over time
Technology Program Development Ray Miller, Max Rabiee and Elvin Stepp University of CincinnatiAbstract:A major issue in the electric power industry is the staffing of the electric power infrastructure. Asthe Baby Boomer generation retires over the next decade as much as 75% of the current industrystaff will have retired. This will affect hourly operations and maintenance personnel,engineering design staff and transmission and distribution professionals. The impending demandfor power engineers has spurred the utility companies to work with the College of AppliedScience to develop programs for new Engineering Technologists in Power Systems.

theFEH core classes. There are weekly meetings among the faculty involved in teaching physics,math, and engineering to enhance the experience of the students. The courses are very challenging.Students take a 3 course sequence (Engr H191, Engr H192, Engr H193) which account for 12 credithours over the year. In FE, there is also an emphasis on hands-on learning and design; however,there is no coordination among freshman classes. The courses are challenging, but not to the extentas the FEH classes. Students take a 2 course sequence (Engr 181 and Engr 183). Most also takeEG 167, a programming course. The total credit hour count over the year for FE students is 10.When we look closely at FEH, what makes it special? First it is a three course sequence
that a large portion ofmanagers in engineering companies start their career as an engineer. According to the USBureau of Labor Statistics, over 80% of engineering manager positions required an engineeringdegree [8]. Therefore, it is necessary for managers in engineering companies to possess skillsand knowledge required for preparing for and responding to EDCs.Despite increasing risks of EDCs worldwide, educational efforts embodied in either curriculumof a college degree or related courses remain very limited. According to FEMA HigherEducation College List [20], of over 5,300 colleges and universities in the US, only 346 (6.5%)offer emergency management programs. It is worth noting that previous work [21], [22]attempted to fill this gap by
communication.Students also select two areas of emphasis from: (1) Industrial Engineering Technology, (2)Mechanical Engineering Technology, (3) Engineering Management and Entrepreneurship, (4)Energy Technology, and (5) Multidisciplinary Engineering Technology.
