OverviewAnalyzing the participation and advancement of underrepresented individuals and institutionsrequires a review of measures of diversity used in both prior research in the STEM fields and inthe business, government, or education fields. This literature review uncovered several metricsfor measuring diversity in a wide variety of settings as well as questions to be asked eachprincipal investigator, school, school district, department, college, and institution regarding theirresearch and research capacity as well as education and education capacity. Questions wereclassified into those to be asked about individuals from populations underrepresented in STEM

In some universities, the geospatial technologies have been taught and used indifferent departments, including engineering technology, geography, construction,agriculture, environmental sciences, and construction planning1,2. However, the faculty inour Industrial Technology Department was not exposed to the widely expanding GIS/GPStechnologies.The University of Northern Iowa 2006 Carver Graduate Education Summer Institute(sponsored by Roy J.

Development of Laboratory Component for Advanced Construction Materials course Rajarajan Subramanian Pennsylvania State University at HarrisburgAbstractLaboratory component is a very important module of any materials course in Civil Engineeringcurriculum. Construction Materials include Portland Cement Concrete, Asphalt Cement Concrete, Metals,and Wood. At the junior class level, most of the Universities in the United States have a laboratorycomponent for Portland Cement Concrete. However, for the senior level advanced materials course, thereis no laboratory component included in the curriculum. The advanced

At a starting pagenumber specific to each NACA / NASA index, citations were scanned until a NACA / NASAdocument was located. In some cases the actual page number where the citation is located differsfrom the starting page number. This is because some indexes had several pages of conferencepaper, dissertation, or journal article indexing before a NACA / NASA document was located.There are three major sources for the citations in the tables: the Index of NACA TechnicalPublications, the NASA Technical Publications Announcements, and the

Figure 1 shows the current market outlookfor airplane demand by 2025 and Figure 2 shows various categories of 27,200 airplanesthat would be needed by 2025. The total value of new airplanes is estimated at $2.6trillion. As a result of three fold increase in air travel by 2025, it is estimated that the totalCO2 emission due to commercial aviation may reach between 1.2 billion tonnes to 1.5billion tonnes annually by 2025 from its current level of 670 million tonnes. The amountof nitrogen oxides around airports, generated by aircraft engines, may rise from 2.5million tonnes in 2000 to 6.1

Yet, a tenured position is coveted and sought by many aspiring assistantprofessors in the US education system, and that includes faculty from civil engineering andconstruction disciplines.This paper aims to display the variability in perceptions of tenure requirements among assistantprofessors in civil and construction programs between universities of different researchactivities, and identify their perceived impediments towards obtaining tenure. The motivation forthis research is to bring to surface some of the concerns assistant professors have relating to thetenure process.Faculty from ACCE and ABET accredited programs in tenure-track positions were identifiedthrough an online search, and were

even longer term consequences;while the half-life of engineering knowledge is on the order of five years [2], the developmentand persistence of engineering curricula are likely closer to twenty years. The origination of the first American engineering majors and societies was based inmedieval and renaissance roots [3]. In 1920, the first Organizing Conference of the FederatedAmerican Engineering Societies was held, a transcript of which provides a historical basisregarding the development of modern engineering majors [4]: In 1852 the American Society of Civil Engineers was founded. Subsequently came the national society for each of the main engineering fields, Mining, Mechanical, Electrical

understand what skills and knowledge they must master andintegrate to complete the challenge.We have developed a challenge-based instructional module on gait motions and elementarybiomechanics for our first-year engineering course co-listed in biomedical and mechanicalengineering to target skills in manipulating, graphing, and interpreting empirical, time-varyingdata. Our motivation for this module is that freshmen often arrive without adequate experiencein simple graphing techniques and unfamiliarity with basic data representations. In addition, thestudents have a wide variety of educational backgrounds in mathematics, where some studentsare enrolled in third semester Calculus and some in College Algebra.Gait ModuleThe learning objectives for this
Disconcerting Statistics: The Future of the Hispanic Engineer Kathleen M. Kaplan, D.Sc., Lt Col John J. Kaplan (Ph.D., J.D.) USAF Howard University/USAFAbstractThe fact that the percentage of minority students in engineering are increasing masks the truth:the number of Hispanic engineering students is distressingly low. In order to begin to increasethe number of Hispanic engineering students, the current state of affairs must be understood andanalyzed.

The students’ response to this teaching method wasoutstanding, and the score of the Students’ Opinion of Instructors’ Survey (SOIS) for this coursewas the highest at the university level.IntroductionComputer Aided Design has become an integral part of any construction project. Traditionalpaper blueprints are quickly becoming too primitive to meet the needs of the current buildingindustry. Architects now share CAD drawings to expedite the design development and reviewcycles in order to increase construction productivity. In addition, researchers suggest that usingCAD increases the students’ creativity and problem solving [3].Familiarity with the development and exchange of CAD drawings is now a necessary skill inmost engineering fields in
