, information is likely to be gathered one student at atime.II. IntroductionThe purpose of the paper is to discuss the author’s experience in providing engineeringinstruction and academic advising to a quadriplegic baccalaureate engineering student and todraw conclusions about this process and make recommendations that can improve the prospectsof such students successfully completing their education. The majority of the academicexperience comes from four courses that I taught to the quadriplegic student, which can bebroken into two general categories. The first category is freshman- level introductoryengineering courses, while the second is sophomore- level engineering mechanics courses. Eachcategory of courses presents different types of challenges

IntroductionWhat role should mathematics play in an engineering student’s education? A typical engineeringundergraduate takes a five-semester course sequence of Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III,Linear Algebra and Differential equations (henceforth known as the calculus sequence). Thissequence forms a rigid prerequisite structure for many engineering curricula. A single failinggrade in one of these prerequisite courses can prevent a student from being able to progress intotheir engineering curriculum. Students may have to substantially delay graduation

. Conclusion and outlook This paper aimed at providing an overview of the EWB Challenge’s implementation at the RWTH Aachen University. Furthermore, the evaluation concept and its result were presented, as these are the first results of the perception of EBW Challenge of students in Germany. As a typical example of PBL, the EWB Challenge does not only enhance generic knowledge like team work and communication skills but it also increases content-related knowledge. In particular, it increases the students’ awareness of sustainability in diverse international contexts. Therefore, the EWB Challenge was chosen as a suitable method to be implemented in German engineering education and was launched at the RWTH Aachen University in
student development, oftenin collaboration with communication faculty in English departments, Writing-Across-the-Curriculum programs, and centers housed within engineering colleges themselves.What many of these same efforts lack, however, is an approach to communication informed byresearch on how students learn to write, and particularly on the metacognitive rhetorical skillsstudents need to transfer their experiences from one context to the communication challenges ofa new situation. In a 2004 article in the International Journal of Engineering Education, CarolBoiarsky outlined the metacognitive knowledge engineering students need to ground their

better-educated and trained workforce will separate thewinners from the losers. In addition, engineering and technology programs must developobjectives and outcomes which will drive the educational development of the program. In mostcases, these programmatic objectives and outcomes are industry driven so that our graduateshave the skill sets needed to obtain quality employment after graduation and be able to make apositive impact from the first day of employment. In addition, each program must track theability of the program to follow these outcomes and objectives and provide assessment data foraccreditation and any other reviews, including internal reviews. Thus, any learning avenue whichallows the program to successfully fulfill these outcomes
: Examining Differing Faculty PerspectivesAbstractThe question of what comprises effective engineering ethics education is intriguing and complex.Broadly, this research is attempting to identify strong models for macroethics education, so-called “exemplars”. Faculty interviews resulted in 35 descriptions of current ethics instructionalpractices: two programs, 32 individual courses (including first-year, capstone design, requiredand elective technical courses, and standalone ethics courses), and one co-curricular setting.Based on tenets of the I-Corps-L program, particularly its “customer discovery” process, thegoal of the interview analysis was to determine which of these teaching methods warrantedfurther study as

One wrote that the experience “has restored my faith in ourgovernment and made me interested in politics. I also now want to get a job after school ratherthan go right to graduate school…” Another commented, “I have become more poised andmature by working in a professional environment, living in the city independently, and getting toknow other driven students.” A third wrote, “I have a broader understanding of engineering, ofpolicy, of Washington D.C., and of life in general.”The interns have had an impact.
