In our initial research to determine current and future trends in engineering programs, wefound many and different views of the future demands and practice of engineering. It wasdecided to research and survey several significant areas for this proposal: (1) Academicinstitutions that are currently reviewing trends towards new educational approaches; (2)Corresponding technical articles describing the trends; (3) Current efforts in academe;and (4) Industrial sources (both manufacturing and engineering-based) that have adirect/current need for engineering. We also used the Listserv to ask engineeringeducators to describe and recommend

The week before reading Foucault, students wereintroduced to liberative pedagogies in class and through course readings1 and a reflective essay.On the first day of class, students were introduced to the syllabus as one representation of what isimportant in thermodynamics, not the definitive word.In a reflective essay and class discussion, students considered the relationship between powerand knowledge. The essay prompt read: “What is/are the relationship(s) between power andknowledge? Is knowledge the same thing as truth, or how does it differ?

extends back to the 1930’s when the school was a junior college. The University wasknown as The University of Tennessee Junior College, and the engineering program consisted ofthe first two years towards a baccalaureate degree in the student’s chosen field of engineering.The University became a four-year college in 1951. Most degree programs were transformed intofull four-year baccalaureate programs at that time. The engineering program remained a two-year transfer program with most students transferring to the University of Tennessee atKnoxville.In the fall of 1967, a formal proposal was developed by the UT Martin Department ofEngineering and submitted to the College of Engineering at Knoxville for an engineering degreewith majors from one of

Many ofthe responses were Neutral and one survey had a written response of N/A with respect to the oneof the third party questions. It is believed that many of the “Neutral” answers may have been “Idon’t know what the other two did when they were working in a two-way interaction.”Therefore, it is recommended that a sixth response category be added to the survey to allowstudents to answer “no observation” or “don’t know”.
