By using transportation related topics as practical motivation, the K-12students were introduced to various fundamental concepts in physical sciences,mechanics, chemistry, materials, and thermodynamics.

It has also long been understood that engineering institutions should graduateengineers who could design effectively to meet societal needs.

naturally lead into the last theory ofpersonal ethical responsibility we discuss—virtue ethics.There have been a handful of articles in engineering journals that attempt to show that virtueethics is a good framework to understand the ethical responsibilities of engineers.5 In general thismakes a lot of sense, because one central thread of all versions of virtue ethics is to evaluateactions in terms of the underlying character traits they express. And such good stable traits—thevirtues—are presumably what we really want out of our engineers when all is said and done. Ourhope is not just that engineers will always design safe versions of what they are told to design.More than this we also hope that engineers will create and pursue worthwhile projects

Engineering FacultyAbstractIt is well established that female faculty represent a small percentage of the total faculty inengineering departments. It is also well known that engineering programs need to find solutionsto increase their number of female faculty. Academic careers are demanding, specially, in theearlier years when a lot is expected of young tenure-track faculty. For those female facultymembers who also would like to start a family, the demand of a full-time academic career forcesthem to choose between devoting time to family or pursuing professional goals. Often, thequestion becomes, start a family or get tenured? Male faculty, on the other hand, are less likely toface this dilemma. Moreover, most administrators are male who do not fully

The proposed classification is then used to code graded student test papers(naturalistic material) from three electrical engineering courses. The material includes 7problems from each course, leading to 21 engineering problems in total. Between 16 and 27graded student solutions are randomly selected for analysis for each problem.

The format for these classes aresimilar (in curriculum) in that their end goal is to teach ‘C’ or ‘C++’ programming, as well asembedded hardware and applications. Most computer courses employ a large amount of hands-on lab material and selecting a proper embedded processor can greatly improve theoutcome/success of the course. In general, the preference is to use a processor that has:• Wide industry acceptance (usage after graduation). This allows the students to leverage their knowledge into better/more advanced job positions
