graduate level, relative to student members in fall2012.All undergraduate programs saw at least a 3-fold increase in the number of student members fortheir respective society. ABE had by far the largest increase in the number of student members,with a 32-fold change between fall 2012 and fall 2013. Similarly, graduate programs across thecollege saw at least a 2-fold increase in student memberships. CSE saw a 67-fold increase instudent membership at the graduate level; the number of student members increased from one to67 after the introduction of the initiative. The biggest increases were generally seen at theundergraduate level, with the exception of ChE and CSE. Both of these departments had smallernumbers of graduate student members than

). The purpose of the competition isboth educative – educational experience for the participating students, for the general public, forthe building industry and the policy makers – and research oriented – encouraging multi-disciplinary collaboration towards development of new technologies and methods.The paper discusses the educational experience of the students participating in this internationalcompetition, focusing on the engineering undergraduate students. It describes the planimplemented for integrating the Solar Decathlon into the required curricula within theengineering, architecture, and business departments. A project as large and diverse as this onerequired accommodating curricular development at various levels and within various modes

This topic not only helpsstudents understand automated code generation mechanism, but also convinces student greatenhancements led by the MBD approach in system development for engineers.Model-based validation and verification (V&V)Model-based V&V represents a set of V&V techniques continuously applied through the MBDprcess. All of them contribute to three important goals/benefits: (i) Detect errors early in thedevelopment; (ii) Reuse test throughout development process. (iii) Reduce use of physicalprototypes. In this course, model-based V&V techniques/tools in three aspects were provided tostudents

communication and teamwork skills.ABET therefore now proposes improvement for the knowledge, skills and professional values for thegraduating students. In addition, analysis of the industry studies, together with the review of theABET accreditation criteria and study of engineering education reveals that the industryemployers and the students are looking for significant changes to the current philosophy anddelivery of engineering education [5]. These issues can be summarized as follows: 1. Engineering curricula does not provide sufficient integration of engineering science and technical topics to industrial practices. 2. Programs at times do not provide sufficient design experiences to students. 3. Graduates lack communication skills as well
