For Purdue and IndianaUniversities, the goal of participation in the project is to attract higher quality students into the areas of math,science, engineering and technology through increased teacher awareness. Future goals include findingadditional funding sources and expansion of the program beyond Howard County.Background The pilot VISION project, championed by Glenn Grundmann of Delco Electronics, was held in thesummer of 1994 [1,3,4]. It was a very intense three week experience. After a day of orientation and a day oftechnical instruction from Purdue University faculty, the local school teachers were placed in

Orsted (2000) stressed theimportance of human behavior skills, which govern behavior at meetings, towards colleagues, on thephone, and the way problems and conflict are approached are needed by engineers in the daily interactionwith others. In addition, Hissey (2000) pointed out human behavior skills, such as teamwork,communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills that have a career enhancing value and may saveengineers from downsizing. In addition, Moon et al (2007) pointed out human behavior skills andattributes such as communication, social, presentation, interpersonal, leadership, management, and team-working skills that engineers need to confront new challenges in the ever-changing

Evaluations beyond this may focus on how well the program actuallyworks or if it is effective in eliciting behavior change2. A common evaluation of effectiveness isto determine how trainees react to the training experience, the content of the program, or theinstructor delivery1,3,5. It is difficult and rare to evaluate how well ethics training actuallydevelops a trainee’s ethical reasoning or behavior change1.

This shift has led to a diversification of the coursework by whichengineering students are introduced to computing. These courses are taught in a variety ofprogramming languages, chosen often due to their degree of application and perceived utility inthe host discipline.A major research university in North America undertook a redesign of its freshmen-yearcomputing curriculum after seeing a proliferation of computing courses across engineeringdisciplines.

To what degree did you find online homework helpful? 3. Which types of problems will help in your career?ResultsResults (Fig. 1 below) indicate that students overwhelmingly feel hand written homework is bestsuited for the Engineering discipline (over 90%). Furthermore, 57-60% of these same studentsindicate that this type of solution is appropriate in the Math and Physics disciplines, so moststudents do see value in traditional homework methods.

initiated the “Educate toInnovate” program to increase student participation in all STEM-related activities. The long-termobjective of these activities is to encourage more young women to choose an education in theSTEM in the future [2].Getting more students involved in the STEM education is a challenge. Attracting more femalestudents into the STEM fields can be even harder. Statistics show that there is a big gender gapin the STEM fields in workplaces. It has been found that the women make up 46% of theworkforce, but women have only 24% of jobs in STEM fields [3]. More women in STEM careershave at least two primary benefits. First, STEM careers typically have higher salary, benefits,and career stability in the workforce [14]. Secondly, a more

However, even in introductory physics coursesthere may be ample opportunities for preparing students for today’s careers.
