education they get in diversity while at ISU will be the foundation they build on throughout their career. What goes into that foundation will determine whether they and we can move from accepting diversity to embracing it. And by embracing diversity what I mean is we seek it, we value it, and we understand its importance…. But in order to embrace diversity you have to appreciate and value what everyone brings to the table, which is why I think this course is so great. It brings students together of both genders, and different ethnic and racial backgrounds to open a dialogue that will allow education to begin, and where education exists the ignorance and fear that still plagues our society will begin to die….

In person interactions include connecting with local students throughemployment opportunities at Florida State University’s (FSU’s) High-Performance MaterialsInstitute (HPMI) – pictured in Figure 1 – and presentations at other institutions. Onlineinteractions include reaching out to educational partners across the country and maintaining anactive web presence. The recruitment process is also

Entrepreneurship Education in the Program Besides the many different ways we can educate students for the entrepreneurship,this program is much more related to: I. Intrapreneurs and II. Entrepreneurs. The programexpects from the students a high level of entrepreneurship behavior. In this way the conceptswe adopt are: I.

the employee and his/her co-workers at the risk of injury. Alcoholism and drug abuse are two problems that employers are particularly “Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright© 2005, American Society for Engineering Education” concerned about. When screening potential or existing employees, particularly in high- risk jobs, employers sometimes use drug testing. I have also seen a few restaurants stating that prospective employees will be subjected to a drug test. Discuss this issue considering both the employer's need to minimize risk and to provide a safe work environment and the employee's right to privacy

* Abstract Rapid advances in embedded systems present significant opportunities for fundamental change in education, at all levels, with a greater focus on active, collaborative learning. These advances can be exploited by integrating them into the elementary and middle school curriculums and by having students work in teams to develop innovative new solutions to embedded design problems in science and engineering. Such hands-on activities provide concrete experiences for abstract lessons in math and science and motivate students to learn more complex abstract concepts. A collaborative research experience

?The impacts of energy use and production on the environment and the economy are of increasingconcern to the general public, the energy manufacturing sector and educators. Ensuring that thenatural resources required to produce the energy and fuels needed by society are utilized in a waythat ensures their availability for future generations is the core of the broad field of sustainability.In Our Common Future, the U.N.

That is, all other elementsranging from mathematics, applied science to finance and management are devised to providethe engineering student with sufficient knowledge to support the

The increasingly stringent applicationof OSHA standards in the construction industry is based on the concern for human life. Equality,life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, security, civic duty, justice, honor, rule of law, privacy, andprivate property; these are the widely held values in our society, these are the values we mustlive by to avoid regulation, and these are the values that should serve as a basis for ethicsinstruction. There is a lack of focus in the construction field regarding the integration of

Another research interest of Kristen’s is engineering education, where she explores how project- and experience-based learning foster better understanding of engineering and management principles. Prior to joining ASU, Kristen was at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2009-11) and then a Scientific Engineering Associate (2011-2012) in the Building Technologies and Urban Systems Department.
