The Middle East Initiative – Expanding Education in a Global Context Liang Li Wu, Anis Hammoudeh and Gregory Washington The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, University of California, IrvineAbstractStrengthening education in a global context is the future in an increasingly interconnected world.Programs that can teach students valuable skills in an environment where they can also expandtheir language skills and worldview will be instrumental in creating the leaders of tomorrow.Research collaborations and international education programs were orchestrated as part of theMiddle East Initiative at the Henry Samueli School of Engineering, University of California
Engineering Education, 2006 Library Experience for Applied Engineering Technology StudentsAbstractThe full-time Applied Engineering Technology Program at Goodwin College of DrexelUniversity was launched two years ago. This program clearly distinguishes itself fromtraditional engineering programs. The curriculum places emphasis on the application oftheory rather than on derivations and proofs. The majority of courses are fully integratedwith training and laboratory experience, extensive use of software and industrial casestudies. The information literacy of students plays an important role in the educationprocess. The primary goal of an academic library is to support the curriculum and providea more

The goal of the course is to provide students with a manufacturing experienceoutside of the normal University environment and to introduce the concepts of polymer engineeringusing the techniques of anchor teaching and just-in-time learning in response to needs identified by boththe instructor and the students.

The planning project will culminate in mid 2004 with a national meetinginvolving representatives of industry, educational institutions, and micro andnanofabrication user facilities across the country having interest in establishing a NSFATE National Center in Micro- and Nanoscale Manufacturing. This group will make afinal assessment of the feasibility of such a national approach. Criteria for thisassessment will include the level of interest among the participants, the level of resourcesthe participants are willing to commit, and the willingness to collaborate toward a jointstrategy for achieving such a vision.REFERENCESBreslau, Karen, “Big Future in Tiny Spaces: Nanotechnology

, teachingstudents the value of strategic relationships and how to go about developing them is critical. Forthe past few years, the students who go through the class on strategic relationships are provided aproject based learning experience. Perrenet et al. 2(2000) indicate that project-based learning isbetter than problems-based learning because it not only helps with knowledge acquisition, butalso with time and resource management. As a part of this class project, students get to see andassess the effects of such relationships while working with a real industrial distributor. Thestudents work on a semester long project with the industrial distributor involving different topics.They are provided resources including research materials, faculty time and time

Establishing strongindustry connections from the beginning of the program development process, may facilitatebuilding in internships and work opportunities that industry values in their future hires. Facultyalso may find it beneficial to talk to alumni currently working in fields that require computing toobtain their perspective on what a successful and effective program would look like. Finally,creating a faculty work group, or learning community, can be an effective method for buildingcross-discipline relationships and collaborations, as well as serving as a strong source of supportfor the faculty involved in these programs.AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by NSF DUE-1626600 via the Improving

Another reason stems from an absence ofsustained collaboration between industry and educational institutions focused onobtaining desired educational outcomes. These problems are particularly acute inisolated, rural areas.A project recently funded by the National Science Foundation’s Advanced TechnologyEducation program addresses the needs of this vital yet historically neglected segment ofthe science and technology education community. Specifically, it has put in place aninformal consortium between two, predominantly two-year upstate New York colleges(Alfred State College and Jamestown Community College), an upstate New York Fortune500 company (Corning Incorporated) and a

to support human-centered design as a corecomponent of engineering curricula. We argue that using a human-centered design approach canempower engineers to focus on the human element in a design project. The human element refersto the engineer, their design team members, and any other direct or indirect stakeholders thatmay be involved in the design project. Consequently, integrating HCD in engineering curriculacan better prepare students for a diverse, collaborative workplace in industry as well as help themto balance their technical and subjective design decisions. Because HCD collaborates with usersand stakeholders, it can help engineers ensure that the resources spent in design and developmentare used productively. In using HCD, the
