is important that our engineering students have a solid foundation in electromagneticfields so that they can participate in the technological advancements of the future.Several of the faculty members who were heavily involved in the development of the LiaBcourses have participated in discussions with the faculty members who are responsible forsupervising the instruction of the core EM undergraduate courses. The concerns expressed aboutthe student interest and depth of learning in the EM courses are almost identical to the concernsraised about the undergraduate circuits courses prior to the introduction of the LiaB-based labcourses. One of the authors (Y. Xu) proposed developing hands-on activities that the student canperform to demonstrate

Engineers are actively involvedfrom the concept design stage which requires more involvement in product safety andenvironmental issues that have impact not only on workplace but also society at large7.Ethics is an important subject and should be an integral aspect of every engineer’s actions.However, very few teachers include ethics as a significant part of graduate programs. Over thepast several years, engineering colleges have been formulating and implementing assessment andfeedback processes for improving their curricula as required by the ABET accreditation criteria.Through these processes, many departments

Thus, females tend toexpress more egalitarian and non-hierarchical ideologies. Herzog, Betchart, and Pittman [20]proposed theoretical reasons for gender differences that included: (i) the socioculturalperspective, that women are socialized to care and nurture, at the same time as boys areencouraged to be less emotional and more utilitarian; and (ii) that femininity leads to a morenurturance-expressive dimension of personality that is more highly related to concern for animalwelfare, even as masculinity relates to less sensitivity to the ethical treatment of other creatures.Gender is known to

Furthermore,students are not required to maintain any sort of design log for their efforts although they arestrongly encouraged to do so in order to keep their efforts on track. In this project, we areattempting to begin to encourage a more independent and less faculty-guided project process byproviding faculty assistance and guidance in a less formalized manner. In designing this project,we anticipated and addressed a number of student concerns that could arise throughout theproject including: • How can I do this since I do not know the software package? • With no partner in the project, how can I be sure my model is correct

This study was designed todetermine if admission type or status, gender, class standing, introductory math level, courseload, course completion, and academic performance are related to retention of first yearComputer and Information Technology (CIT) majors. Records of students who declared CIT asa major in the fall 2012 were examined to determine if there is a connection between thesefactors, and whether CIT students returned in the fall 2013. Results showed that there was asignificant relationship between student retention, introductory math level, and completion ofrequired first year

She had been warned by many others, who had considered returning to school, but haddecided against it, because of what they had forgotten. I would spend 80% of my time in grad school re-proving to some professor that I knew how to do a triple integral, run Matlab code, run SPSS, and 20 – it would exhaust my time there, and I would only have a small fraction of that time to actually advance and
