profession where a fresh rawgraduate takes up teaching work without any prior training contrary to otherservices. Lifelong education can provide a response to the growing job volatility thatmost forecasters predict. Increasingly, people will be changing jobs several timesin a lifetime, and education can no longer be limited to offering a singlespecialization, but must develop each person‟s ability to change course during hisor her lifetime, and to cope with economic and social change. The process ofcultivating a lifelong learning ethic can be a fascinating and rewarding learningexperience by itself for human resource specialists. A graduate engineer is not trained to take on the broader responsibilitiesthat jobs demand and is afraid of

To be successful researchers must make a decision to goto another country personally, and ultimately to be truly successful at building criticalrelationships they must go a step further, that of total immersion in another culture. We can readbooks about a country or culture, however, it is another matter to experience and learn to managedifferences in cultural norms, customs, food and the way food is eaten, greetings, ethics andvalues

Engineers in the workforce are constantly working with others on variousprojects. Another student explains that working in a group motivates students to stay on top oftheir work load as well as encourages them to produce higher quality work. This student states,“Working in a group allows me to work harder to guarantee that I do not let my partners down.”This accountability not only improves the students’ work ethic but also improves the way theyinteract with their peers.

These general professional competences consist oftwo main groups:  Technical expertise  Specific engineering pedagogical competencies.Educational theory offers different lists of competences7. The IGIP concept of engineeringeducational competences is to be summarized as follows:  Pedagogical, psychological and ethical competences  Didactical skills and evaluative competences  Organisational (managerial) competencies  Oral and written communication skills and social competences  Reflective and developmental competencesOther categorizations might operate with the terms “technical expertise

Ibelieve that we need to do more to connect how we understand technology to the world’smost pressing challenges, and I attempt to emphasize this in my own teaching.Through this proposed research, I am working in a relatively new area that isn’t well-defined by existing theory and methodology formed in higher education. Although thereis a body of research on the teaching of engineering ethics and the integration of thesocial sciences with engineering, and that is certainly relevant to examining thetechnology/society interface, I am examining faculty beliefs and processes aroundcurriculum choice with respect to contextualizing science and technology curriculum.After some early reviews of existing literature, I decided that the

Related to plagiarism is the need forscrupulous documentation and citation practices. Students are instructed to write down completereference information for any sources they consult. At the third class, they are required to submita draft of their reference list for the literature review. Many students have had little or no priorexperience with documentation of sources, or if they have, they only may have been exposed tothe Modern Language Association (MLA) style in an English course.

For example, a Manufacturing Automation and Roboticscourse typically uses programmable logic controllers, sensors, robots, and machine visionsystems in teaching automated manufacturing system design. However, students’ learning ishindered by obstacles such as:• High faculty-to-student ratios: For example, the ratio for Manufacturing Automation and Robotics at one major university is 1:36 for lectures and 1: 18 for each of two lab sections.• Limited lab access: Students may only use equipment during scheduled
