Current discussions and conflicts onwhat engineering education should look like in the future will be discussed as well as the dilemmafacing new faculty with increased expectations to achieve tenure. Cutting funds for highereducation by many states has been a high priority of legislators and research funding is being cut bythe federal government. So why should one go into a career in higher education? The importantrewards are still the same as they were a half century ago!Foundations for the FutureFor the past several years there was an article published on the incoming class of freshman studentswith the emphasis being on the

In the Fall Semester, attendees participated in a fun activity (origami, outdoorgames, 3D puzzles, and Christmas cookie decorating) and enjoyed a snack. Faculty and staffwere welcome to attend and a number of them stopped by. Activities were planned and staffedby two graduate assistants, under the supervision of the Director of Student Success. In theSpring Semester, in addition to an activity (crafts, meditation and reflection, scavenger hunt,outdoor games) and snack, students were provided with a wellness resource (emotionalwellness, spiritual wellness, intellectual wellness, and physical wellness), targeting a differentdimension of wellness each month.

ABET defines Program Educational Objectives as “broad statements that describe whatgraduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation; program educational objectivesare based on the needs of the program’s constituents.” The program constituents are interestedparties, person or groups having an interest in the performance or success of the program.Strictly using this definition, constituents of an engineering education program, may includealumni, employers, local industry, faculty and students. However, faculty and students areinternal to the program and may have limited perspective of what graduates are expected toattain a few years after graduation, with the exception of faculty in a program with a highpercentage of its

A formal system like atranscript that tracks student-to-workforce development activities is recommended. Formal STEMpipelines are traditionally academic programs, formal industry internship programs, and on-campusresearch experiences. For example, participation can be tracked and used to identify if a studenthas ”leaked out” (i.e. no graduation, no work placement) of the pipeline. This one student is 100%of an entire demographic at the institution. Historically, the data sets have been limited to 1 or 2students of this demographic. In

education institutions have the practicalrequirement to include ethics education to maintain ABET accreditation for engineeringprograms [7]. Ideally, students are equipped to consider ethical dilemmas from the microethics ofindividual ethics decisions to the macroethics of policy implications on an organization andsociety as a whole, and students should understand how microethics and macroethics areconnected [4], [8], [9]. Graduates should not only be equipped to behave ethically as professionalengineers in their individual practice as an engineer but also be equipped to understand broaderethical complexities that could arise as a corporate manager or executive, a research director, orany other local, national, or global position of leadership.An

How many people get to work with VR on the undergraduate level? Even [ another major VR lab ] is made up of mostly graduate students. As an impact on my career choice, after being exposed to computer graphics from VRiChEL, I soon realized that computers and computer graphics were a lot more interesting to me than chemical engineering or medicine. After that I tried to learn as much as I could in school, by taking a computer graphics class and working for different computing labs on campus. [ Including a
