An engineering curriculum thatsatisfies ABET General criteria and meets academic needs of students from diverse and timevariant student profiles in a regional university creates uniquely challenging problems.Therefore, assuming institutional strategies are easily transferrable between the two isproblematic.Another difference between regional and flagship institutions is the extent alternativestrategies are applied to creating and administering institutional revenue streams.Regional universities rely more heavily on leveraging undergraduate programs as anincremental revenue source for other initiatives. Variations of these strategies create smallperturbations in flagship institution degree programs but can

Both CPR1 and Workshop collect evidence of student performance, which can then be analyzed to support student gains in identified learning goals.5.2 Student Receptivity: Results from studies on student receptivity to CMPR are mixed.However, several cautions must be given because of the many variables involved in any suchempirical research. Earlier implementations tended to meet student resistance potentiallybecause web-delivered applications and classroom innovations such as blended learningenvironments were still very new. Thus, students had to overcome the learning curve of thetechnology as well as

He modified it in 2000,focusing the students somewhat more narrowly on five specific theological and philosophicalpositions that can be or have been taken regarding the second law. In 2003, he modified theassignment again, requiring the students “to formulate and defend a thesis that relates entropy orthe increase of entropy principle to one or more of the concepts” given in the following list:creation, stewardship of creation, the fall, evolution, pollution, and eschatology.

Theirintegration of economic and productive goals with explicit ideals of social and cultural welfarederives from historical precedents described in this paper. This paper indicates how the NAE'sdefinitions of appropriate goals for engineering, generated by arguably the most prestigiousengineering body in the nation, organize ideas about engineering in society.We might bring to the Grand Challenges the type of critical, politically informed analysis thathistorians have brought to other sites of engineering activity and professionalization, to detect thenature of interests that underlay all such projections of engineering’s role in society.
