EngineeringAbstractInnovative, research-based professional development is needed to help teachers implementscience and engineering education in elementary schools. This is a challenging task, particularlyfor teachers who many have little familiarity with either science inquiry or the engineeringdesign process (EDP), and who may not have developed the instructional strategies needed tofacilitate student inquiry and engagement in EDP. In the Partnership to Improve StudentAchievement (PISA) study, 43 grade 3-5 teachers in New Jersey participated in a two-weeksummer workshop, three workshops during the school year, and received monthly classroomsupport visits, which comprised one year of instructional activities in a three-year professionaldevelopment program.

It also has economic implications for engineering graduates insearch for jobs with salaries commensurate to their education and skills.This paper will combine the results of a survey conducted by the authors on this subjectwith information from recently published studies. Literature and data gathered will beorganized and tabulated to find correlations between manufacturing employers’ economicoutlook and their hiring practices. The results will provide insight into the availability ofjobs for students majoring in engineering-related degrees.IntroductionIt is evident that there are multiple factors affecting the job prospects for individualsgraduating with engineering degrees.

This paper provides a project level analysis of the fatal fallaccidents in small building projects using Occupational Safety and Health Administration’saccident reports between 1998 and 2007. The analysis includes categorization of accidents basedon project size, type, and accident circumstances for each contactor type. The analysis identifieshigh risk activities for fall fatalities under different circumstances. This detailed project levelinformation provides a valuable educational tool for construction programs as well as a guide tostrategically target high risk areas through prevention, enforcement, and training.IntroductionConstruction is one of the largest and most dangerous

critical thinking, problemsolving skills, and creativity. Realistic issues are integrated into the design studios – realprograms, real sites, cost estimating, and scheduling. We are integrating ‘the basics’ –architectural history, architectural theory, drawing, and technical courses (such as structures andenvironmental systems) with design. In the design studio courses, we are attempting to findbalance and connection, and increase the awareness of the interrelationships between these areasof study for the students. Faculty, practitioners, and students know that learning in acompartmental fashion has never been that successful. We look towards this new integrativedesign studio approach as a better way to prepare our students for the demands of

technology is the traditionalmethod of teaching, i.e. lecturing or “chalk-and-talk” method. Today’s students expect theirinstructors to create an active and engaged learning environment by delivering course contentusing more than one method (i.e. classroom lecture) so that they can access it from anywhere atany time. The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department of Morgan StateUniversity has implemented a new approach that requires all courses to use video recordings toprovide supplementary materials for both face-to-face (F2F) and online courses . This paper will present the results of the implementation of the Panapto FocusTM videolecture capture software in the Electric Circuits (200 level), Linear Systems (200 level
