The focus of the grant is to develop curriculum to train technicians in the use ofsolid modeling as a “Time Compression” tool to help manufacturers and designers reduce cycletime to market. Curriculum is
fields inthe world, and engineering is no exception. In our college only 5% of pre-engineering and lessthan one percent of computer engineering students are women.There are several reasons for attracting women to engineering such as the fact that more than50% of consumers are women. If those designing the products are able to relate to the femalesection of the population, there is a better chance of selling the products. Industry needs womendesigners. Also, the women’s talent can be used to improve the work environment. Womenexcel in verbal and interpersonal skills and are very good collaborators2. This paper will addressseveral ways of attracting more women to the field of engineering.IntroductionStatistics from the U.S. Department of Education
convert a personal computer into a virtual electronic development site and thussignificantly simplify the applicability of these CAD systems in academic environment. The aimof this study was to compare both qualitatively and quantitatively the student utilization of two ofthe most popular CAD systems available on today’s market, Electronics WorkBench andPSPICE. Twenty-nine second-year students and thirty four fourth-year students takingintroductory and advanced courses in Electronics (Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering at the University of Calgary) volunteered to participate in the study, which examinedthe efficiency of their usage of the two systems in various assignments. The majority of juniorstudents favored exposure to both

with a foundation of knowledge in science,basic theory, and technical subjects as they prepare for their real-life counterparts. Practitioners believe that theworkplace requires graduating engineers to have many basic skills including the ability to work on a team and tocommunicate with one’s peers and supervisors. In addition, there is need for the capabilities of utilizing infor-mation technology, focusing on customer and societal needs, as well as ethical and environmental concerns, andunderstanding global needs and market forces. Therefore, the focus of engineering education should be on theimmediate applicability of the engineering knowledge to the end user. Due to system constraints, university faculty find it difllcult to remain
, which are widely used in engineering courses [4]. While the intention of team-baseddesign projects is to provide all students with a range of technical and non-technical masteryexperiences [4,5], students enter into these experiences with differences – whether real orperceived – in relevant technical skills that undermine individuals’ participation and persistenceon team-based work. Prior research indicates male engineering students are more confident thanfemales in their math and science abilities, as well as their abilities to solve open-ended problems[6-9]. Lower confidence in women often translates into lower likelihood that they will take anactive role in technical tasks and instead relegate themselves to administrative or people
