attritionrates in the sciences focused on the research question: “what influence do TAs have onunderclass students‟ plans to major in or leave the sciences?”5. Study results showed thatalthough GTAs could not be directly tied to retention they had a large amount of control overclassroom climate, which in turn did impact retention rates. Moreover, students cited GTAenthusiasm and attitude as facilitating the students‟ learning. Given the similarity of retentionand attrition issues across Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields, findingsfrom this study in science are very likely to be relevant to engineering.Graduate Teaching Assistants in EngineeringAccording to the National Academy of Engineering: “the essence of engineering – the
International Humanitarian Trips: Objectionable or Estimable? Katherine Abrey, Maddy Cronin, Deanna Malone, and Libby (Elizabeth) Osgood Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering, University of Prince Edward IslandAbstractThe ethical considerations surrounding student international humanitarian trips are complex.

methods in this paper.BackgroundFounded in 1932 under the name Engineers' Council for Professional Development, ABET(formerly Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredits post-secondarydegree-granting programs. Many people interpret this to mean that ABET accredits departments,colleges, or even courses. In reality, ABET accredits programs, and your accreditation workshould reflect the program as a whole.Some programs treat the six-year time lag between visits with the following timeline: - Year 1 – Celebrate success of previous ABET visit. - Years 2-4 – Feel that ABET is a long time away. - Year 5 – Begin to worry about ABET visit the following year, and survey every class imaginable to be ready for year 6 with the

Course web sites give studentsaccess to supplemental learning materials1, an ability to dialog with other students and faculty onforums2, and even tutorial movies ranging from working through homework problems to usingmodeling or computational programs related to the course3. In addition, there has been a flood ofinterest in and funding of engineering education research. One would assume that with all ofthese advances and focused attention that student academic success would be growingexponentially. In fact, many

IntroductionModern industrial systems and components typically feature various sensors, actuators, andcontrollers integrated into complex configurations that incorporate skills from variousengineering disciplines. To design and service this equipment, global companies often useengineering teams familiar with mechatronic system technologies (refer to Figure 1). Some ofthe key technical skills include mechanical, electrical, computer, and industrial engineering aswell as control systems, computer simulation, robotics, and human factors. Although the term“mechatronics” may be widely applied to engineering systems, it certainly describes

educated us on the importance of persistence and collaboration. Our projectprovided us with a large array of skills from research, design and construction as well as testingand technical writing. Additionally, collaboration was extremely important to this project as welearned how to communicate with different people and engineers as well as discovered how tospend our time the most effectively. According to our data, if the changes were made to the system,as mentioned previously, wide spread implementation of the RE-Brake could be possible. Thiscould lead to future innovations in regenerative braking technology, not only in bikes, but manyother forms of transportation.AcknowledgementThe authors would like to express their sincere thanks to Dr
