“My First Year Teaching In a College Of Engineering” By Martene Stanberry, Ph.D. The first year of teaching as a faculty member in a College of Engineering provided mewith many opportunities for professional growth. It served as a time to set a foundation on how Iwill teach, do research, and serve the university and community in which I am a part. During thistime it was important to meet the challenges and expectations of the Department of MathematicalSciences, the College of Engineering, and Tennessee State University (TSU) as well as achievethe career goals and aspirations I had set for myself. There are several important factors to consider when making the transition to

CAN WE AFFORD THE WOW FACTOR ? A MECHATRONICS EXAMPLE Brian Surgenor Dept. of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Queen’s University, Kingston, CanadaAbstractA course in Mechatronics Engineering is used to provide an example of a course with the “wowfactor”. These are the courses that are oversubscribed and sustain their popularity from year toyear through word of mouth. As with most “wow factor” examples, the course is hands-on andproject based. A commonly held view is that the excitement and enthusiasm demonstrated bythe students in such courses should be duplicated throughout an engineering curriculum.However, a decade of experience with
