However, the full potential that PE courses offered and their impact both on theET population and CETA itself was not being fully realized.Most students want to graduate in the shortest time possible, and faculty advisors generallysupport this goal so in practice, professional electives were typically undervalued andunderutilized. Recognizing this problem as well as the opportunity to implement a more flexiblecurricular structure, we developed an advising process where the main goals are not only GPAand time to graduation, but also to encourage broader educational outcomes for students topursue. Based on our shared advising experiences, we developed the Flex Advantage Plan (FAP)that is currently being used within CETA to

With this respect, mechatronicsprograms are offered both at undergraduate [8–13] and graduate [14], [15] levels by a number ofuniversities. The history of mechatronics dates back to early 1970s, when the term mechatronicsoriginated by Tetsuro Mori, an engineer of Yasakawa Electric Corporation in Japan [16]. Initiallythe term mechatronics was dedicated for systems which are combinations of electrical andmechanical components, in general referred as electro-mechanical systems. With the revolution insemiconductor, computer, and control system technologies, these disciplines are included in theparadigm of mechatronics.Currently, the term mechatronics is

This was enough to justify – at least on paper – investing in theShuttle.”1 NASA was so confident in its ability to achieve routine access to space through theshuttle that it planned to phase out of expendable launch vehicles (ELV’s) such as the Atlas,Titan, and Delta rockets.

Several studies have revealed that disciplinary differences indata management requirements are significant (Weller and Monroe-Gulick, 2014; Akers andDoty, 2013; Kim and Stanton, 2016)). This is a major concern in designing a one-size-fits-alldata management scheme for researchers. It is also clear from the literature that faculty have notyet significantly changed their data management practices to conform to federal grant agencyand publisher mandates (Whitmire et al, 2015, Diekema et al, 2014). Overall, these observeddata management practices present many challenges for libraries when setting up datamanagement services and

Many programs use laboratory courses in orderto teach or reinforce discipline-specific content, missing the opportunity to use them in orderadvance more universally valuable skills.
