A four-year program allowsstudents to adapt to changes in the industry by staying up-to-date with emerging technologiesand trends. They can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are transferable todifferent roles and industries. Graduates with a more extensive education are better positionedfor career advancement[7], [8]. They can pursue roles in research, development, projectmanagement, or even entrepreneurship.

They also commented that the content fit well with a building informationmanagement (BIM) course that many were taking concurrently.In addition to providing insight into students’ experiences with technology, the questionnairerevealed information related to student learning preferences. Most students (79%) indicated thatthey would rather do field work than lab work and most (93%) indicated that they preferteamwork activities over independent assignments, suggesting that a fieldwork-based activitysuch as use of UAVs is a good strategy for engaging civil engineering students.In addition to

The research internship is planned over 10 weeks of summer, and the student interns are assigned a graduate student mentor and a faculty advisor. This paper presents the details of this project, research and educational objectives, results obtained, and the student surveys assessing the outcomes. The planned research project is related to non-volatile resistive memory technologies, which are promising nano-scale technologies for information storage. In such technologies, the information is stored in a resistive form which is a state of a material that is non- volatile and also much more scalable as compared to the existing charge based storage technologies such

. Globalization, especially in the information technology(IT), automotive and manufacturing industries has already begun to change the way engineerswork. Modern engineers must possess cross-cultural communication skills, team managementskills, and the ability to perform on geographically distributed team. Today’s strong believe isthat the recent engineering and technology graduates can expect to work at some point of theircareers, on teams with members from varied culture and linguistic background. As the stake isvery high, it will be rewarding to develop a technically literate work force with internationalexposure in order to maintain the technological leadership of the United States.

The importance of usability studies of newlearning technologies such as hypermedia has already been noted (Grice and Ridgway, 1993). Understanding emerges from studying user interaction with computer systems in particular workenvironments, in this case PC-equipped computer laboratories on the campus of a technological university. Usabilitystudies typically attend to four elements of HCI: o the user o the task or job o the context o the computer system (Preece, 1993).The exploratory usability testing reported here collected and synthesized information about the needs andcapabilities of

Below we present a few themes emerging from hisinterview that shed light on his reasoning.Aspects of Tom’s identity and emotions are intertwined in his reasoning about dronesThe topic of autonomous warfare had some emotional and personal salience to Tom.
