The CPE program will have afocus on embedded computer systems. Embedded systems form a rich application sourcethrough which the CPE education can be made relevant. Embedded computer systems are atimely subject that is immediately useful to students in their senior design projects. Furthermore,a large number of our CPE graduates currently use or design embedded computer systems intheir

For example, polymers are the choice of materials in various applicationsbecause they provide low cost and high strength-weight ratio. In the last severaldecades, many discoveries have led to polymers with the high strength, conductivityor optical properties of other materials, often combined with unique processing andnanofabrication capabilities. Because of advances in technology and the growingdemand for environmentally friendly products, manufacturing technology has becomean increasingly
they can earn as much or more as a machinist or mechanic as they can as anoffice worker with a liberal arts bachelor’s degree6.Some common strategies used to prepare high school students for careers include career clusters(sequences of courses related to broad fields of work such as health sciences and engineering),magnet schools, career academies, and dual credit arrangements with two-year and four-yearcolleges7. All these approaches have value, but for helping students to learn about industrialautomation, dual-credit arrangements are probably the easiest to implement. However, most dualcredit offerings are general academic subjects, such as English, math and science. Some schoolsoffer courses on particular types of technology, such as
organizational behavior texts as part of the definition of an organization.11 Thus,from the perspective of the 21st century workforce, improved understanding of and ability tobuild community in the undergraduate STEM experience links to essential needs in thetechnological workforce.Previous higher education, STEM-focused work on belonging and related CTC includes a studyconducted by Lee and Wilson12-13 to evaluate sense of belonging among engineeringundergraduates, graduates and faculty. Two undergraduate engineering classes, two researchretreats and two conferences were chosen for the study. Additionally, another study by Wilsonand Jones14-16 assessed belonging and other broader CTC in mainstream engineering classes andtwo classes with service learning
preparation of technicians for advanced technology fields of importance to the nation's economic development and security. The Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program that NSF began in 1993 in response to this legislation expects two-year college educators to have leadership roles in funded initiatives. It also requires two-year college faculty members in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to collaborate with other education sectors and employers in their efforts to create or improve certificate and degree programs. The multiple tracks of the NSF-ATE program provide support for faculty professional development and general STEM education improvement. The program provides support to test innovative ideas along
theassociated reading, videos, and lecture materials necessary to complete a technical report at theend of each activity. The aim was not to supplant the practical and hands-on aspects of aconventional course but to develop a teaching approach when the conventional teachingapproach cannot be implemented or is disallowed. Students were evaluated from technicalreports related to simulation projects, and electronic examinations were administered at the endof each activity.1Four different activities were designed in such a way that it can cover the knowledge andunderstanding of metal casting field for engineering students.2,4 All lab experiments and castingtrials were performed in the WMU laboratory foundry in controlled laboratory conditions: theambient

The other studentdecided that the amount of mathematics was more than the student wanted to do. Each of thesestudents was able to articulate clearly how their new choice of major suited them better.2) Understanding career paths for BME graduatesA survey of our alumni conducted in 2007, together with a recent analysis of the ASUBiomedical Engineering group on LinkedIn (with 1000+ alumni members), show that the mostwidely accepted entry-level jobs for graduates exiting our program with a B.S. seem to be qualityassurance (QA), regulatory affairs (RA) and
fullycompliant with all regulations and with applicable guidelines. An essential component ofcompliance is the implementation of an effective RF safety program which includes training andeducation. Reduction in RF exposures can be accomplished through the implementation ofappropriate administrative, work practice, and engineering controls. These various controls arethe elements of an RF Protection Program, and should be a part of an employer's comprehensivesafety and health program. In complex environments, an audit of RF generators and susceptiblepopulations and devices is very important. A variety of RF measurements and/or computermodeling simulations are frequently necessary for an effective RF Protection Program. Forexample, OSHA’s website on

The OSI model is apopular approach that is used extensively in the Cisco Networking Academy Program(CNAP) 2 and in other Cisco learning materials. With respect to simulation Davisdescribes the Optimized Network Engineering Tools (OPNET) system that that canmodel networks and sub-networks, individual nodes and stations and state transitionmodels that defines a node 1.
