These diverse experiences and a growing passion for improving engineering edu- cation prompted Dr. Miskio˘glu to change her career path and become a scholar of engineering education. As an educator, she is committed to challenging her students to uncover new perspectives and dig deeper into the context of the societal problems engineering is intended to solve. As a scholar, she seeks to not only contribute original theoretical research to the field, but work to bridge the theory-to-practice gap in engineering education by serving as an ambassador for empirically

, also then serving as a factor in declining retention and/or graduation rates. Researchon what to use for correct placement has indicated that a combination of level of high schoolmathematics courses taken, overall high school GPA, ACT/SAT math score, and number ofmathematics courses taken during high school shows a stronger correlation between success inthe first university mathematics course than only using a mathematics placement exam [4]. Inresponse to needing some form of placement, studies suggest using multiple measures, mostwidely that of the high school GPA and prior mathematics background in conjunction withassessment scores [5]. This research reports that combined measures have resulted in a higherpercentage of correct mathematics

Suchmath-intensive courses would benefit greatly by incorporating many of the widely availablemodel-based simulation tools (e.g., Matlab's Simulink) that can be used to simulate continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Therefore, the use of simulation tools for reflection is notlimited to the case study presented in this paper. Rather, this method can be used in other ECEcourses as well as in other engineering disciplines that rely on simulation.ReferencesAdams, R., Turns, J., & Atman, C. (2003).

They merely represent conformance with standards of performance thatare often decades-old.One of the early findings of the design team was that the design of the equipment had not takenenergy utilization into consideration. Despite the machine being considered state-of-the-artwithin the industry, the basic design was nearly 50 years old. At the time of the machine'sconception, energy use was not a major consideration. When members of the design teamchallenged the equipment manufacturer’s choice of spray nozzles, the critique was poorlyreceived. It was pointed out that the machine was consistent with that of many
