specifically, differ from truly fundamental subjects.Mechanics is closer to engineering applications, unlike subjects such as mathematics, physics,chemistry, biology, astronomy and geography. It is distinct from the purely technological areasbecause of its strict system of logic. Due to this, and partly because of the large number ofconcepts and formulas that the students need to learn, MOS has been regarded as one of the mostdifficult undergraduate courses at Rutgers University. This can be validated by a two-tail t-testwith an α=.05 comparing the average D,W,F percentage spanning ten semesters for MOS at30.1% which was determined to be statistically significantly higher than any other courseofferings from the department with the next closest average
the management of technology. This is a long established practice,particularly in the training of doctoral students who will be studying the management of realengineering organizations, although it is underreported in the current periodical literature. Theusefulness of this technique to practicing engineers and engineering managers, as distinguishedfrom researchers, will be discussed as a basis for justifying its application to undergraduateengineering students who may have no present interest in a career in research. Particularattention will be given to two evolving areas: student choice of projects; student critiquing ofprojects.No justification is required for the choice of projects by the instructor; from experience, theinstructor can

According to recentstudies4 traditional engineering lecture courses tend to alienate a significant portion of studentswhose learning styles are visually, active, or experience oriented, leaving these students with anincomplete comprehension of the course material. Furthermore, development of conventionallaboratory components of the course required quantities of bulky, expensive equipment, hiringqualified personnel, and a large, dedicated laboratory space.However, due to the recent expansion of the internet and advances in commercial technology,remote laboratories have increasingly become a feasible solution to various laboratory coursessuffering the same dilemmas.

Institute of Technology, Haifa 32000, ISRAELThe undergraduate education of a chemical engineer has, for more than half a century, included asenior course in design. In early years, as exemplified in the textbook, Chemical EngineeringPlant Design", by Vilbrandt1, emphasis was placed not on process design, i.e. design of theprocess structure and the equipment, but on plant design, including consideration of foundations,drainage, piping installation, buildings, power transmission, plant location, plant layout, andpreconstruction cost estimates. Some attention was given to selection and arrangement ofequipment.

Forexample, a course in robotics could include the machine consciousness unit. In Andam et al.11we describe how elements of the Turing test curriculum were used in a workshop to help preparepre-service middle and high school teachers to integrate technology and engineering into theirfuture classrooms. The workshop was required of all Smith College education graduate studentsand thus was populated by students with varying content specializations. In the workshop thestudents first worked through the Turing test activities themselves, and then they used theactivities to

Someone thought he had transferred, or perhaps not. Hecould not be certain. That colleague never returned either.Since the 1960s, the attrition rate of doctoral students has consistently been estimated at 50%nationwide 1, 2, 3. The attrition rate for women students, especially those in engineering, science,and technology whose problems are exacerbated by their minority status, is estimated to be muchhigher, as they experience what is termed a “leaky pipeline” at every phase of their education 1, 4,5, 6 .

2011 program.IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a push in the United States to increase the number of studentspursuing and completing studies in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) disciplines.1,2 There are two primary tasks that are needed for this goal to beaccomplished. First, more students need to be attracted to pursue college-level studies in theSTEM fields. Second, once those students are attracted to a STEM field, the colleges anduniversities must provide an attractive, nurturing environment designed to allow a wide range ofstudents to succeed, while still providing a rigorous technical education.
