even graduate students in STEM. First, mostengineering graduate students are funded, and most are funded for their research. Further,time to degree completion for engineering doctoral students is low—on average about 5years—since engineering research is typically funded on grants or industry sponsorship thatencourages results and publication. The culture of engineering departments, even thoughcultures vary between departments and institutions, is different than those of other science,technology, and math departments, which often have different structures for research groups,mentorship, and expectations of graduate students. Therefore, we posit that we must studyengineering graduate students separately from students in other disciplines, though

Further,the quantitative and qualitative outcomes will be used specifically to refine the laboratoryexperience of the electrical engineering undergraduate students at UNL. Through disseminationof the results of this laboratory adaptation in the College of Engineering and Technology atUNL, it is possible to influence the curriculum in other departments, possibly providing theimpetus for future cross-disciplinary laboratory projects.ELEC 304 Quantitative and Qualitative

It is difficult for distance programs to provide the learning fromlive interactive discussions and hands-on activities. However, DE programs aredeveloping new ways to address some of these limitations and new technologies andcommunication infrastructures continue to provide better solutions. Also, these DEclasses can also provide new ways to enable schools to provide EM education. Throughdistance channels, schools can begin to provide EM classes to their students withouthaving to hire the EM specialist faculty. Current EM programs will also be able toprovide a broader set of classes for their students and provide an improved program. Atthe same time, current EM
Native American participation in Math,Science and Engineering careers. Activities for the five year proposal period focus on attractingthe Native American high school students to the tribal colleges, retaining them through thecollege, facilitating their smooth transfer to the university, and motivating them for higherstudies. Because of the vast distances involved between each of the five tribal colleges and theuniversity, and the sparsely populated nature of the region, distance education technology willnecessarily play a key role. For example, some of the activities will be over a two-way videonetwork (Interactive Video Network) connecting all of these colleges and the university.

Graduatesare equipped to seek employment in research organizations, computer centers, or wirelesscommunications businesses and enterprises. This program also prepares students for furthereducation in wireless communications enabling graduates to pursue doctoral studies, if theychoose to do so. It is assumed that candidates seeking admission to the program possess abaccalaureate degree in engineering, engineering technology, or physical/computational sciencefrom an accredited university.

The objective is to expose participants toagile manufacturing issues, and enable them to creatively synthesize and apply the tools covered to openresearch problems. It blends quantitative and qualitative material, from multiple disciplines of industrial,manufacturing and management engineering. The specific objectives of this paper are to discuss the design andexperiences of this course. Further, it is our desire to share the motivation behind the relevance of such acourse, and some of the challenges in designing and offering it. We would also like to propose some

Particularly, as some departments (e.g., Biological andAgricultural Engineering and Engineering Technology) guided the course to be taken in the firstor second semester of sophomore, relatively fewer number of students achieved the coursecredits. While on average, about 72% of FTIC students and about 28% of FTT students achievedcredits on the courses by taking the courses at the institution. In contrast, about 7% of FTICstudents and about 62% of FTT students achieved the transfer credits on the common courses.
