Other educational outcomes such as obtaining graduateeducation and employment have been measured.To analyze the impact of REU on academic achievement, a quasi-experimental design wasapplied. Pure experimental design was not possible because students could not be randomlyassigned to experimental and control groups. Thirty-nine recipients of the NJI-TOWER REUawards composed the experimental group and 230 NJIT students were included in control group.The results of quasi-experiment can be considered valid due to the size and matchingcharacteristics of the

Students in this program learn business andengineering skills in the classroom, then apply them in the field through class projects and acomplex capstone internship, which takes the place of a traditional thesis. Thus, the EngineeringManagement program requires strong industry partnerships for the education and graduation ofits students.The MSPS Advisory Board, which consists of local industry leaders and program alumni, acts togrow and maintain these critical industry partnerships. The Advisory Board’s role is 1) toprovide the class-projects and internships required for the students’ successful careers and 2) toensure that the curricula stays leading-edge and covers the needs of regional employers.

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

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.

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
