.5. Conclusions and DiscussionWe reviewed the strong institutional ties between the profession of engineering and themilitary, citing historical evidence and providing our own recently compiled evidencefrom employment and research funding data. Despite the fact that there are limitations inour data, we argued that there is a high probability that an engineer, whether inprofessional practice or research, will confront the possibility of conducting defense-related work during the course of his or her career. To improve the quality of theevidence on which we base these conclusions, we intend to conduct further research by,for example, attempting to collect direct counts of engineers who are employed indefense-related activities. Such data might

camp’s curriculum, audience, personnel, and successes. The Bradley University College of Engineering and Technology hosted a week longcamp for 35 ninth and tenth grade high school students to introduce them to engineering. Thecampers were from the city of Peoria and the large majority from groups that areunderrepresented in engineering. Since the high school course choices made by these students,even with the help of counselors, can effectively eliminate engineering as a potential career path,the activities of the camp were designed to provide an opportunity for the campers to participatein engineering activities and identify the importance of understanding math and science to

torsional couple. In a real application, an axially loaded bar, for example, the bar may have anycombination of cross section size and shape, material and applied concentrated or distributedloadings. Figure 3 illustrates a ‘complex’ bar which has two lengths of different, butindividually continuous, cross-sections, loading and, perhaps, material. This bar ofdiscontinuous cross-section, load and material can be treated as an assemblage of two simplerbars, called segments, of uniform cross-section with continuous loading along each length ofuniform material as shown in Figures 3b and 3c. The effects of the loading on each segment canbe combined to obtain the resultant effect on the total, more complex composite bar. Solutionsare obtained by

recommendations for universities spoke not only to deans, department chairsand faculty, but also to university leaders at higher levels (i.e., trustees, presidents, and provosts): 1. Trustees, university presidents, and provosts should provide clear leadership in changing the culture and structure of their institutions to recruit, retain, and promote women – including minority women – into faculty and leadership positions. 2. Deans and department chairs and their tenured faculty should take responsibility for creating a productive environment and immediately implement programs and strategies shown to be successful in minimizing the effect of biases in recruiting, hiring, promotion and tenure. 3.

participants (n = 10) developed skills to cope with HC. “Developingskills” means that participants develop academic skills, such as taking courses, learning to solveengineering problems, practicing soft skills, or pursuing interests as a way to negotiate someaspect of their personal and engineering identity. Majority and minoritized women used thisstrategy similarly (6% vs. 5%). For example, a Hispanic/Latina industrial engineering graduatestudent noted that because she was an honors student, a tennis player, and worked, she “learnedto organize and manage my time and your tranquility in a cost-effective way to achieveeverything successfully.” This participant aligned her skills and identity to match normativeengineering skillsets, so she developed
fostering more connections to the industry stakeholders,integrating curricula, and enhancing the overall faculty experience (Besterfield-Sacre, Cox,Borrego, Beddoes, and Zhu (2014). A positive classroom experience can lead to furtherinteractions with a professor, which is especially important when considering that students aremore likely to seek advice from a professor than a peer when attempting to determine the bestpath toward success in an engineering course (Meyers, Silliman, Gedde, & Ohland, 2010). Inother words, if undergraduates have had a valuable experience during lectures, they may seek outthese same instructors for assistance after class (e.g., office hours); they may also be more likelyto want to talk to these instructors about
Institutions(CEI) and the chartered engineer designation (C.Eng = P.E in the U.S) and qualification, andthe drive. They led the authorities to make the courses more “scientific” with correspondingchanges in the level of mathematics required, one consequence of which was the move to anall graduate profession educated in full-time courses. Scientists […] is characterized by high intelligence dissociated from artistic concerns and sensitivities. This cool intelligence is linked with strong individualism in personal and political realms. Second, there is clear lack of interest in people on the part of the scientist. A good deal of self-control is implied by the description of the scientists as self-sufficient, rational, persevering, and emotionally stable
full research paper is to explore how first-year engineering graduatestudents’ goals change over the course of their first academic year in their graduate programs.While existing literature indicates that the first year of graduate school can be challenging, it iscritical to student socialization as they become familiar with the expectations of their disciplineand research domain. Individual goal setting is also very important to overall academic and careersuccess during this time. However, it is unclear what goals engineering graduate students havewhen entering their programs or how socialization may shape those goals. This study uses thetheoretical framework of Future-Time Perspective, specifically the extension component, toexplore what n=4
would have been mentors are now competitors in anincreasingly tough job market. On top of all this, new engineers face competition from offshoredesign centers and foreign engineers immigrating to the U.S.If junior engineers want to compete in this fast-paced, competitive job market, they have to beproductive on their very first day. To be productive, they have to be able to create complex, solidcode quickly. Experienced engineers accomplish this using their personal collection of tips,tricks, and shortcuts that they have picked up over the course of their career. New engineers donot have this luxury. What they need instead is a design methodology that will take the place ofthe tips, tricks and shortcuts. Thus presents the basic point of this

andpublished a text based on his lectures.vThe United States Military Academy (USMA) became a pioneering center for graphics in theUnited States. Christian Zoeller brought engineering drawing classes to the Academy in 1807.Another faculty member of the USMA, Claude Crozet, introduced descriptive geometry to theAcademy in 1816. By 1821 he translated Monge’s work into English. Crozet is also creditedwith introducing the blackboard and chalk for the teaching of graphics.5 Other authors continuedwritings in English in the 19th century.Two major improvements stimulated graphics in America in the latter half of the 19th century:the Alteneder family established a factory in Philadelphia for manufacturing drawing instrumentsand blueprinting was introduced at

Thinking outside the box and looking at different perspectives is what sets a leader apart. As leaders are faced with obstacles that become their responsibility to overcome. It’s in these moments that the reaction and allowances made for change and progress are center stage. It is this skill to overcome and push forward as part of a team that drives continuous improvement.
