Observations based on experiences with individual portfolios in engineering education have relevance 1when applied to the institutional design portfolio model. For example, Bramhall points out that though anoriginal goal of using portfolios was to document development, the portfolios often concentrated onachievement and potential. Such concentrations detracted from the portfolio’s ability to develop theindividuals

Starting in the eighties, PLCs are frequently networked in industrial plants so thatcontrol software and data acquisition could be managed through a centralized computer system.An Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) graduate who is hired to work in an industrial plantis expected to be informed about these topics. In most schools the topic of Programmable LogicControllers (PLCs) is taught in two-quarter or two-semester classes. Typically, a semester issixteen weeks long, while a quarter session is only eleven weeks long. During the second quarteror second semester one must be able to introduce and explain important topics on networkingPLCs in industrial plants.

In industry it is widely used as a tool for analysis,development and research. MATLAB integrates computation, visualization andprogramming in an environment that is easy to learn and use.From the point of view of its usage, MATLAB is mainly an interactive system.

The working hypothesis was thatmost of the students would be familiar with these concepts through exposure in lower divisionelectrical engineering, calculus, and calculus-based physics coursework. In selecting theconcepts, we drew upon the Dictionary of Cultural Literacy to validate that the majority of theconcepts are truly essential to a broad grasp of popular science and technology. Our practice hasbeen to administer the inventory at the beginning and end of the semester to cadres of studentsthat enrolled in an analog electronics course. We will present data collected over the last twosemesters to illustrate major misconceptions and significant gains obtained through the course.1. IntroductionABET 2000 student outcome criteria

Worldeducation rankings show the US lagging behind other nations in developing STEM skills [1]. Inorder to help overcome this widening gap, the US began a push for STEM opportunities for K-12students outside of schools, especially for reach underrepresented minority (URM) students whomay not have equal access to STEM opportunities. In 2007, the University of Arkansas Collegeof Engineering (UACOE) began offering summer programs to increase STEM exposure. In thesecamps, students are free to develop

As these programs adapt to the inclusion of public health topics, as should engineering curriculum that relies deeply on the collaboration with clinical experts for translation of engineering health technologies.
