Specifically,• The Fordham Foundation gave Georgia a grade "F' in science.• Over half of Georgia 8th grade students scored at the lowest science achievement level in the 1996 National Assessment of Educational Progress study.1• One out of every four Georgia high school students fails the science portion of the Georgia High School Graduation Test on his or her first attempt.2• Georgia ranked dead last nationally in Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) scores in 2002.As part of a National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported GK-12 program, the Student andTeacher Enhancement Partnership (STEP) Program, Georgia Tech has initiated partnerships withthree
Development of an Engineering Sales Program with Industry Dr. Dave Sly, Dan Bumblauskas, Dr. Frank Peters Iowa State UniversityAbstractIowa State University recently established a program in technical sales for engineers. Todevelop the program, faculty and administrators reached out to an industrial advisory committeecomprised of organizations with a vested interest in the program; the organizations that hirestudents from the College of Engineering for career tracks in technical sales and marketing.The instructor used a combination of various sales techniques and strategies, from establishedtechnical sales programs to frame the syllabus for the course. A detailed course
but offers limited career opportunity is unacceptable. Technologygraduates often find themselves restricted by skills with a short “half life.” In other words, theyare unable to move forward in their careers or their education and forced to start the learningprocess over again.Since 1992, when Congress enacted the Scientific and Advanced Technology Act (SATA),technician education has been given increased attention. SATA called for the establishment of"a national advanced technician program, utilizing the resources of the Nation's two-yearassociate-degree-granting colleges, to expand the pool of skilled technicians in strategicadvanced technology fields to increase the productivity of the Nation's industries, and to improvethe competitiveness

computing disciplines by adding Information Technology certifications.This paper examines one component of the Information Systems computing discipline: theproblem solving and programming languages. The focus of this study is to show howinformation technology certifications objectives can be integrated into programming andproblem solving courses such as Visual Basic .NET and Java. A case study is used to show howthe Microsoft Certified Application Developer certification objectives are integrated into theVisual Basic .NET programming course. A detailed investigation shows that very few textbookscan be used to cover all certification objectives. A detailed master course syllabus is developedto show the coverage of the certification objectives while
