The first wave is driven by scientists, engineers, andtechnologists; during this phase standards for technologies, products, manufacturing processes,and services are defined. The second wave started approximately two decades ago because of theapplication of network and digital technologies in communications.The main stakeholders in this phase are the corporate and business leaders who are interested inthe development of standards and procedures for interoperable technologies to facilitate

Moreover, Renae speaks about her department as a whole, indicating that this EESI isnot treated as an individual responsibility of the teachers, rather is implemented on adepartmental level.David, an engineering teacher, discussed limited integration of environmental/societal impacts.

[15].The authors, while agreeing with this discussion, did pose the question to readers: where will thiscurriculum fit? While I, in the position of an up-and-coming engineering educator, can think ofsome opportunities, in the interest of space, and due to the subject’s overall irrelevance to thispaper, I will not describe them. However, I do agree with Hoole et al. [15] that this is a valuablequestion worth discussing in the future, especially in light of the tight curriculum of engineeringthat

A common discussion topicwithin academic institutions is the extent that differing, but related, disciplines can be integratedto take advantage of synergies and enhance the knowledge base and skill sets of the relateddisciplines. In this context, central to the development of the remote lab environment was thecollaboration between faculty from Information and Computer Technology (ICT) and IndustrialEngineering Technology (IET) programs.IntroductionDistance education in technology based curriculums has dramatically increased over the

Furthermore, the rapid advancements in sensortechnology, 3D printing, and the need for more efficient, light weight, and powerful actuation inapplications such as robotics has increased the demand for fluid power education [2], [3]. Yet,only 12 colleges and universities in the U.S. teach fluid power courses or perform fluid powerresearch [1]. As Robert Koski, Chairman of Sun Hydraulics stated, “For too many years, fluidpower has been ‘out of sight and out of mind’ ” [4] . To thwart this trend, the National FluidPower

Abstract The National Academy of Engineering report Educating the Engineer of 2020 calls forsystem-wide efforts to align our nation’s engineering curriculum and engineering profession withthe needs of today’s global, knowledge-driven economy with the goal of increasing studentinterest in engineering careers. As more industries benefit from the economic advantages of aglobal R&D capability, U.S. engineering teams need to prepare for collaboration across countriesand the blurring of national boundaries. Future engineers need to be trained not only in basicengineering skills, but also in managing global research teams. Realizing the importance oftraining U.S. students to work successfully in global R&D research environments, we
