. The IS 2002 Recommendations and the ABET CriteriaFor the development of the IS curriculum, we implemented the IS 2002 recommendations. Thecharacteristics of the IS profession have been identified and listed in the recommendations: • IS professionals must have a broad business and real world perspective. • IS professionals must have strong analytical and critical thinking skills. • IS professionals must have interpersonal communication and team skills and have strong ethical principles. • IS professionals must design and implement information technology solutions that enhance organizational performance.The curriculum has 30 semester hours of formal IS courses but also assumes use of prerequisiteor corequisite courses in

as teamwork, ethics,and the benefits of diversity, and capstone courses that seek to integrate work through teamprojects, many of the mathematics based courses still teach in a passive manner. Formulas arepresented to students, a few example problems are solved, and students practice by doinghomework. An assessment of student learning is to solve similar problems on an exam.However, what is generally not assessed is a student’s understanding of the very formulas thatare employed. In fact, students can perform quite well on such exams with very littleunderstanding at all.At its core, engineering is the application of mathematics and science to solve practical problemsof the human race. That is, at its core, engineering is not just problem

A number of reasons exist for the high energy consumption per capita in the United States; among the reasons are (1) historically cheap energy, (2) low population density, (3) large area, (4) historically an abundance of domestic energy, and (5) no ingrained ethic for conservation.

In additionto developing technical expertise and self-reliance, this pedagogical approach provides anopportunity to stress the importance of communication skills and broader concerns such asenvironmental and ethical issues.CurriculumBuilding on our partnerships with K12 systems in the region, NASA-Threads integratesfundamental science and mathematics content with engineering applications and appropriate useof technology into a physics curriculum targeting the junior/senior year of high school. Asmentioned, the threads of this curriculum include Fundamentals, Technology, Communication,and NASA Applications. These threads are continually linked
understanding the varied domains of human knowledge and experience and develop understanding and appreciation of their cultures and religions. Liberal arts and engineering design courses have a synergistic effect of the development of creative and critical thinking skills, oral, and written communication skills, interpersonal and leadership skills, and a quest for life-long learning. Our design sequence provides our students with a wonderful opportunity to consider the moral, ethical, economical, environmental, societal, and geo-political impact of engineering design decisions. Engineering Science graduates are well prepared for challenging positions in engineering practice, graduate study and for lives as innovative thinkers and

method of engineering as a purposeful and systematic practice for innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsible leadership driven by an innovation ethic for betterment that is responsive to real-world needs. Whereas strategic directed scientific research that is often necessary to gain a better understanding of physical phenomena is frequently required during the purposeful, systematic technology development process, scientific research is not the primary driver. Creative engineering practice requires proactive responsible leadership beginning with the identification of meaningful real-world needs. During the creative technology development process, however

According to the bill, tenfederal agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, would award grants to sixnanoscience research centers established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative. It authorizespublic hearings and expert advisory panels, as well as the American NanotechnologyPreparedness Center to study the emerging technology's potential societal and ethical effects.3About 70 percent of the new nanotechnology funding will go to university research efforts,which will help meet the demand for workers with nanoscale science and engineering skills. Theinitiative will also fund the projects of several governmental agencies. Much of the research
