. The implications and research findings are discussed for each group.IntroductionMuch of engineering education research today looks at graduates’ preparedness for theworkplace as a means to evaluate engineering curricula. Research by Lattuca et al.2, Anderson etal.3, and Murray4 has assessed graduates’ preparedness from the viewpoints of seniors, faculty,department chairs, and employers. Yet, with the exceptions of Polach5, Korte et al.6, Eraut et al.7,and Tilli et al.8, few studies have sought input from the new engineers themselves. This paperbridges the gap by examining the supports and barriers that one cohort of recent engineeringgraduates experienced in the workplace, as told in their own words. With this knowledge

It also requires that faculty members be empowered to mirror thesevalues and skills in their instruction and mentoring. The RED grant connects professional skillsdirectly to the ability to develop and evaluate solutions within these broader contexts.In this work in progress (WIP), we review our progress towards achieving this vision including:• Establishing a foundation for a revised engineering canon that

Inlate winter of 1996, the dean of the UK College of Engineering, the dean of the MuSU College ofIndustry and Technology (who is also the MuSU director of the Engineering Institute) and thepresident of Paducah Community College, jointly assembled a team of approximately 20 faculty andstaff to develop these two new baccalaureate programs. This group included a representative from theCHE and an ABET-knowledgeable EAC member, the latter to provide advice regarding programdevelopment and accreditation. Some of the pertinent

Developing and Implementing Guidelines for Dual Career Hires Peggy Layne, Elizabeth Creamer, Patricia Hyer, Catherine Eckel Virginia TechAbstractLike many land grant institutions, Virginia Tech is located in a part of the state with limitedemployment options. In order to attract and retain an outstanding faculty, Virginia Tech mustincreasingly address issues related to the employment of faculty spouses and partners. Theseissues are particularly important for women faculty, since women are more likely to be marriedto other professionals, especially academics, than their male colleagues. As part of VirginiaTech’s NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant focused on
and then finding a platform that would support these needs. Stakeholderswere identified as certain faculty members within the College of Engineering and all engineeringstudents, and the key needs are that the platform is easy to use and learn, free, and available afterdeparture from the university. After testing multiple platforms for efficacy, Quarto wasdetermined to be the most viable option that met all criteria. Additionally, research wasconducted to determine the most effective method of coursework development and courseimplementation. This curriculum needed to be easily implemented into courses in acomplementary manner. After researching a variety of learning models, the team determined thatindependent learning modules will be most

This paper compares and contrasts the development lifecycles of the TRAD andRAD renditions of the two capstone design solutions. Further analysis illustrates that leveragingRAD can supplement the student developers’ educational experience and provide faculty withgreater flexibility and control of course delivery and collaboration tools. Holistic evaluations ofboth development methods in an educational setting are described in detail. Faculty andadministrators can utilize these results to evaluate the viability of RAD methodologies for theirneeds before making a long
application of the engineering design procedure tocurriculum improvement. Extracting from Burghardt, 9 shown in Figure 4, is a simplified versionof the design process. Each of the steps in the design process has a direct analog in curriculumevolution, implying that the curriculum improvement structure should be something bothrecognizable to and welcomed by engineering faculty.
