Collaborative Leadership process is designed to stimulate change at the departmental levelby assisting each department to create ways of fostering a supportive climate through whichfaculty can advance. The specific barriers to advancement of female faculty, which are addressed Page 11.647.5by the Collaborative Leadership process, are workplace environment and marginalization. Theinvolvement of faculty in this process will build a collegial and supportive environment thatbenefits all faculty.Collaborative LeadershipThe collaborative leadership component works at the departmental level to enhance collaborationamong faculty, identify and support innovative

SummaryThe Milwaukee School of Engineering has one of the first ABET accredited SE programs in theUnited States. We believe that the strength of our SE program lies in its innovative curriculumthat, while incorporating all the core elements of software engineering practice, also placesspecial emphasis on software engineering process. Presently, there exist numerous challenges inexecuting our philosophy for our Software Development Laboratory (SDL). The problem couldbe (i) in our vision of the SDL where the initial goals that we set for ourselves may be unrealistic(ii) in the resources that
educational institutions. This isnecessary to keep the nation at the forefront of the technological innovation. In recent years,many engineering schools, including first-tier institutions, have observed a general downturn inenrollment. The student retention rate for the first and second years of engineering programs hasbeen falling. Engineering students must be ready for university-level classes in math, physics,chemistry and computer programming. In an all-too-large percentage of cases, these students arenot well prepared in high school for the four-year university programs on which they embark.The problems of recruiting and retaining students adequately prepared for engineeringcoursework are particularly acute in the region served by the University
learners like to dosomething with new knowledge, discussing or applying it are both useful in this regard.Reflective students like to quietly think about new knowledge before doing somethingwith it. As might be expected, active learners prefer to work in groups, but reflectivestudents prefer working alone.Examining the sensing-intuitive pairing it is found that a majority of the students have asensing preference (instead of an intuitive learning preference). Sensing students like tohave facts and observations to comprehend their world. Intuitive students are comfortablereaching that point on hunches and possibilities. Sensors like solving problems byestablished methods, intuitors like innovation and dislike repetition. Sensors are generallybetter

Examples related to differentmajors will be discussed in class, and different application-oriented homework problems may beassigned to different majors.We also believe that this experience will be instructive to the improvement of similar coursesoffered at other universities.Reference1.

ConclusionThere is evidence that the interaction of first-year engineering programs in the improvement oftechnological literacy is widespread. These interactions have diverse motivation (promotingtechnological literacy, recruiting engineering and technology students, and curriculumevaluation) and diverse approaches (classroom teaching, pre-service and in-service teacherdevelopment
tablesit took about one year for other companies to begin to copy her products. The copycat mentalityhas made it difficult to find a market that enables her to gain a competitive advantage. While thedemand for her product is reasonably good, there are two main things she sees as roadblocks toher success. The first one is that many Cambodian people feel that foreign products are madewith better quality. She claims this is especially frustrating because her product has the samequality, or in some cases better, while costing less than the foreign product. The second is thecompetition she faces in the market. The impetus for innovation is lost when products can becopied so quickly, and when there is essentially no legal protection or patent rights. In

International students eventually become immigrants to play key roles intechnological advancement, research and innovation on which the US economy hasrelied for several decades. Even students who return home to their native countriesoften emerge as spokespersons for U.S ideas of democracy and capitalism, andeventually play vital roles in promoting U.S interests. Hence, declining numbers ofoverseas students are bad for our entire nation

United States department of laborhas stated that by 2008 there will be 51 percent more jobs requiring science, engineering andtechnical training than that had been in 1998. The number of international students enrolled incolleges and universities in the United States has decreased by 2.4 percent in 2003/2004.Especially in engineering which is one of the three leading fields of study for the internationalstudents has reported a decrease of enrollment in 2005 compared to 200413.

Their role is both to improve thecoherency of their topic by summary threads messages and to solicit new topics. Moderators canedit or delete all messages posted in their area. The Forum includes the ability to upload and disseminate attachments. This is intended toallow electronic materials, such as a innovative laboratory assignment, to be uploaded in acompact form, such as a PDF (Portable Document Format), without the use of an intermediarywebsite.

criteria to an outcomes-based assessment approach, schools of engineering have more flexibility in defining their programs. Schools can maximize their offerings more efficiently depending on their resources and not sacrifice quality.In answer to the question posed in the title of this paper, “Can engineering and engineeringtechnology programs reside in the same department?” the answer is an astoundingly – YES. It ishoped that as new innovative programs are introduced and as older established programs areenhanced, that the wall between engineering and engineering technology can be lowered. Underthis environment more collaboration between faculty can and will occur

This need will have a strongeffect in high need school districts and thus the President’s Educate to Innovate campaign (2010)calls for an increase in “STEM literacy so that all students can learn deeply and think critically inscience, math, engineering, and technology.”STEM is primary driver of the future economy and hence the increasing number of jobs at alllevels require knowledge of STEM [1]. Research shows that insufficient training, time, andincentives are among the most commonly cited barriers for faculty effectiveness [2]. Manyfaculty have indicated that in terms of training they feel not well equipped and prepared to meetthe challenges that comes along in teaching STEM. Furthermore, research also suggest that theteachers

Education innovations are required to empower students with the skills and technologies for large dataset analysis. Over the last few years, there is a high demand for new programs in data science and analytics (DSA). We has performed a systematic study of the existing DSA programs in the US by checking the detailed information about the degree programs, the program competencies, the curriculum designs, the expected learning outcomes, program sizes, professional careers, and other related information. There are more than 70 DSA programs offered in the US
