Marjorie Letitia Hubbard, PhD North Carolina School of Science and Math, Durham, NCAbstractEarly exposure to engineering coursework can increase the persistence of students, particularlywomen and minorities, in STEM fields in college and beyond. Secondary school instructorshave a golden opportunity to approach engineering curriculum design with a student-centeredperspective that fosters engagement since many curricular resources for high school studentsmust be uniquely tailored for students with different levels of exposure to engineering.This paper describes the development of a biomedical engineering curriculum for high schoolstudents that integrates design thinking using the framework of student-centered

Ramachandran, Linda Head and Maria Tahamont Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ 08028 Abstract: A time honored technique for introducing students to new and emerging topics is to offerelectives; however, there are a few major drawbacks to this approach: the topic must be very fo-cused, either depth or breath must be sacrificed, and in either case, only a very limited amount ofmaterial can be covered, and students who may not have prior

How does Software Engineering fit into a College of Engineering? Thomas B. Hilburn, Massood Towhidnejad Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University hilburn@erau.edu, towhid@erau.eduAbstractSoftware Engineering (SE) is a new degree in most academic environments. Currently, there areless than 25 undergraduate SE degrees offered by US universities, and only six have beenaccredited by ABET. There are a number of challenges for faculty and departments who areoffering these SE degrees. Some of these challenges include a) finding qualified faculty, b)designing an appropriate curriculum that serves the stakeholders needs, c) satisfyingaccreditation criteria

It’s all an investment; a little blood,sweat, and tears in the early years will usually pay off handsomely later.Continuing education, professional development, and ongoing productivity are important,particularly as the new engineering educator approaches middle age. After promotions and tenure,it’s easy to fall into a rut of taking things easy. Although Academic Balance 5 is critical to anengineering educator, one must be careful to avoid stagnation, obsolescence, and the status quo.Given the rapid "half life" of 3-5 years for engineering knowledge, this obsolescence can sneak upupon an engineering professor not only in research but in all phases of the job, for example,computer techniques in instruction
