. RationaleAs with many other engineering disciplines, computer science has the quality of being “a lotharder than it looks” to many incoming students. Thus, retaining students in computer scienceand engineering majors is an on-going concern. Further, fewer students in the major meansfewer graduates in the discipline and fewer qualified citizens to be employed in critical technicalareas. In Texas, the high technology industries, though suffering just now from the economicdownturn, in general cannot find enough local engineering graduates to fill their needs. This iseven more acute in those industries which may have sensitive national security functions andwhich thus are not open to international graduates from Texas universities. To address this issue

TheProgrammable Logic Controller (PLC) course utilizes a project-based approach. One ofthe major goals of the project is to prepare students to apply effective problem solvingtechniques to a problem that simulates a real world situation. This includes the ability todefine the problem
characters that were later brought to life by the instructorsvia a 3D modeling package. The purpose of the meetings were to 1) expose middle schoolstudents to the field of computer animation, 2) demonstrate the relation between math andcomputer animation, 3) foster interest in real world applications of math.Introduction As technology advances everyday, generations are exposed to new realms of possibilitiesat a much earlier age. Schools are constantly implementing new programs that expose children toemerging technologies and integrate new curricula to make the young more techno-savvy as theworld advances with them. However, many elementary school students are still unaware of theconsequences these technologies have on their lifestyle and the
long standingprofessors, and the departure of young scholars to seek their fortunes in the competitiveindustrial environment. This paper describes faculty transition problems and offers solutions thatlead to better stability within engineering technology programs.BackgroundImagine a three-year period in which the following events occur. One faulty member fails toreceive tenure and suddenly departs for a new position. A newly tenured professor decides thatteaching just isn’t as enjoyable as it should be and leaves for industry. Five faculty membersdecide to take the University’s retirement offer that includes a healthy incentive. One faultymember is hired from graduate school and has just slightly over the minimum industrialexperience, and

This tendency responds to the necessities of economic globalization,rapid advances in technology and cognitive science3 4. In addition, in many of the world’scountries it has been observed that the graduation rate of engineers has fallen in relation to theprojected demand for these professionals5. This
