Fortunately, most engineeringand computer science curriculums include work with microprocessors like the Arduino andprogramming in C or with MATLAB2.

Or as is often heard, “The Internet is PLATO writ large.”This paper begins with an overview of ISEUC, including objectives, proposed schedule,curriculum, benefits, components, characteristics, and current status. Then a summary of otherpotential suppliers for international software engineering education is given, including individualuniversities, ACM, IEEE, the Department of Defense, and book publishers. The paper presents asummary of the status of ISEUC vis-à-vis distributed learning for international softwareengineering education: too late (dubious), too early (probably), or just-in-time (hopefully). Theconclusion gives a rationale for the current status and an outlook to future developments.2. MISSION

Effectiveness of workshop - 4.22/5.00, departmental range: 3.5 to 4.78What problems arose and how were they solved?(PS) Early on we facilitated a workshop that was successful, but fairly difficult. The department was a large one that had done a lot of work on developing hands on courses and had many members involved in revamping the curriculum. It became evident that they felt that we were telling them to do things that they had already done. This got in the way of the discussion of “Learning Environment” as opposed to “Learning Enhancement.” We were able to correct mid-stream but learned from the experience to make sure that individual and group efforts to improve

While some may see the explicit inclusion of DEI as a radical revision of ABETcriteria, a historical perspective shows that the proposed new requirements are an incrementalreform stemming from a steady evolution of ABET’s integrating professional

) grant, we are working on moving from teachingengineering as a purely technical endeavor to a sociotechnical endeavor. An important aspect ofthe sociotechnical nature of engineering is to establish conversations that involve privilege. In aU.S. context, it is particularly important for discussions of privilege to consider race as a socialconstruction [6]. Other socially constructed identities also play a significant role in determiningwhether communities have social, economic or political power, how it is used, and how theyobtained that privilege.This paper describes how we developed a curriculum intended to contextualize engineering forfirst- or second-year and third-year students in two different required engineering courses.

Both of theseentities emphasize the need for mining engineers to communicate technical information to a varietyof audiences, including both technically-trained supervisors and subordinates as well as non-technical members of the work force and the general public. Given the number of technical coursesin the curriculum, students have ample opportunities to develop effective communication skillsthrough laboratory reports, design and feasibility projects, and technical presentations. However,creating opportunities to develop communication skills aimed at non-technical audiences has notalways been feasible or achievable.Content &
