Szatmary, King’s College Alex Szatmary teaches mechanical engineering in a new program at King’s College, Wilkes-Barre. His scholarship in engineering education is driven by considerations that arise in new programs; so far, he has written about problems with the use of the Fundamentals of Engineering exam in curricular design and as- sessment, as well as sources of evidence to consider when designing mechanical engineering curriculum. In his technical research, he uses mathematical models to study how cells get to places in the body

Although, theentire activity from start to finish is carefully monitored by the instructor with continuous feedbackand grading of team-performance, independent team work and individual responsibility are alsoemphasized. This activity can be replicated in other CGT courses as well other disciplines. The resultssuggest that it can be an effective means to strengthen CG course pedagogy. This approach willfacilitate assessment of tactile learning methods in CGT course curriculum and help with a continuous‘Course Improvement Plan’. Ultimately this

BackgroundThe University of Wyoming instituted a new undergraduate Computer Engineering curriculum inFall 2000 in response to a nation-wide shortage of computer engineers. The hardware designportion of the curriculum consists of traditional course and laboratory work in digital design,embedded controller programming, and advanced digital design. Although this curriculumprovides a thorough technical education, other concepts need to be incorporated into thecurriculum including: competition, quality design, teamwork, systems design, interdisciplinaryprojects, and

Few faculty and small studentnumbers, along with limited resources designated for a single program, forced an innovativeapproach in developing the curriculum for the MET Program.It is interesting to note that CMU is one of only nine universities nationwide that offers degreesin engineering (E) and engineering technology (ET) under a single umbrella.1 Although the twodegrees are granted by separate institutions, the common umbrella is that the programs areadministered under the

There is currently a scarcity of information relating to ethicalconduct in these courses. Government regulations, environmental permits, and other bureaucraticcontrols continue to grow. Projects also continue to get larger and more technical, requiring morespecialized people, high-tech equipment, and better project control systems. This trend requiresthat project managers have technical, business, organizational, ethical, and leadership savvy.Many new regulations and specifications (for example, those of OSHA and ACI) requireconstruction

This assessment leads to squeezing in additional courses, often at the expense ofrequiring additional credits beyond that for a typical Bachelors degree. The common practice ofincluding new material while not changing what already exists is pushing the number of requiredcredits for an engineering degree in excess of what should be expected.
