Students or facultywho have not mastered the appropriate style may find that their work is judged more harshly by theirteachers or peers. Strongly technical disciplines such as chemistry and mechanical engineering placerelatively less emphasis on writing and their style guides are less widely distributed. Nevertheless,violations of a journal’s or a proceedings’ style clearly affect a paper’s substantive credibility.Moreover, the potentially disparate technical styles are brought together in engineering management(EM), which does emphasize writing and which brings

The introduced design and FE analysis projects areexplained.IntroductionWhile working in industry, the authors have had many opportunities to work on machine designand analysis projects with a number of junior engineers, who recently graduated from variousuniversities with bachelor’s degrees in mechanical engineering[1]. It has come to our attentionthat many of the newly graduated students are not very capable of tolerating ambiguity, dealingwith uncertainty and making assumptions and decisions during the design process. It seemsmany of these new members of the workforce are

, communication skills and preparation forcontinuing professional development and career long learning. In addition, thestudies emphasized the importance of non-technical education, managementskills, interdisciplinary and international exposure [5].However, engineering faculty and students are faced with an already tightcurriculum, and satisfying such a broad set of demands within the traditionalprogram seems extremely difficult. A number of topics such as managementskills and interdisciplinary and international exposure are necessarily ignored inmany engineering curricula in the hope that students will gain such knowledgeand skills elsewhere. The pressure of time also forces a scant coverage ofimportant areas such as research and scholarly investigation

The urgency to establish new directions forET education becomes more critical each day as industry and society processes becomemore mediated by electronics devices and systems. During the past century electronicshas evolved from the basic methodology of electrical signal modification, transmission,and re-conversion for useful human sensory perception to a mediating technology that isat the core of most human activity.

In the past decade, accounting standardshave required that Cash Flow Statements accompany SEC filings and annual reports.Encouraged by their familiarity with the term “cash flow”, students who attempt to interpretthese are in for a rude awakening.

devising plans for improvement.Students need to examine their own learning and thinking processes, practice learning fromfailure, and embrace continuous improvement. Such skills are essential in professional practice,but young people are often reluctant to use these opportunities for learning. I searched for a wayto encourage these traits and developed an exercise where students explicitly practice theseprocesses. They conduct the exercise after each of two major exams in my courses.The process consists of three parts. First, students correct their exam. Second, they conduct a“failure analysis” of their mistakes to examine why they made them. Finally, students create an“avoidance strategy” to minimize the likelihood of repeating the same (or a

Given the licensurerequirements in civil engineering, the first post-college job may be particularly important forcivil engineering majors. We use social cognitive career theory as a theoretical framework,focusing on the job search as a contextual influence that moderates choice goals and choiceactions. We examined the following research questions: 1. What barriers and challenges do students encounter during the search for full-time employment? 2.
