In the last decade, significant research progress in the areas ofnano- and micro-particle transport, deposition and removal has been made. A series ofcourses was developed to make these class of new important research findings availableto seniors and graduate students in engineering through developing and offering ofspecialized curricula. This project involved integration of numerical simulations andexperiments in the developed courses. The course materials were mostly made availableon the web and some courses were taught at University 1 and University 2 campusessimultaneously.

After a number of years of involving higher education invarious ways in targeted and systemic K-12 reform, NSF and the DoE began to promoteuniversity-K-12 “partnerships” as the means to most effectively involve higher education in theprocess. However what this exactly meant in the STEM educational world, or how effectivepartnerships should be created and evaluated, was mostly left undefined, generating confusionamong both educators and evaluators.As part of an NSF-sponsored Research, Evaluation, and Technological Assistance projectdesigned to help clarify the evaluative issues involved with partnerships, we are currentlyexamining how the

Indeed, insofar as engineering is a profession, knowing howto calculate stress or design a circuit is in part knowing what the profession allows, forbids, orrequires.”1In this paper we look at ethics across the curriculum and implementing engineering ethicseducation via the case methodology.

To facilitate a student’s personal journey toward enhanced development andtransformation, engineering professionals must keep in mind that many of the experiencesencountered by students create some cognitive dissonance and challenge thought patterns,behaviors, and self-identity. To respond more effectively to their needs, the professional focusmust support a student’s need for a sound identity and awareness of issues that might impacttheir academic performance. Some of their issues might include academic, economic,motivational, family background, societal, diversity, and values challenges. Although

Studies indicate that both industry and society benefit from diversity;furthermore, teams function at higher levels when there is diversity among colleagues. Thisoptimization enhances competitiveness within companies, enabling them to outperform theircompetitors. However, even though there are many benefits from increasing diversity, the factstill remains that a minority gap exists within engineering.This paper will explore philosophies and provide methods and recommendations to promote anincrease of minority participation within science and technology.

In 1984, he left USC for almost 20 years to be an entrepreneur. Most of his work was in manufacturing, both in Detroit and Japan. During that time, he worked on programming real-time systems using an Agent methodology, which he now teach in his CSCI 201 class. He returned to USC in 2002 to teach full time.
