The EIA skill standards focus on five separate areas:desirable behaviors and work habits, technical skills, test equipment and tool skills, basic andpractical skills, and additional skills.Desirable behavior and work habits, while not objectively measurable, are critical to theworker’s overall employability and success. This area includes work ethics and behavior,interpersonal relationships, and teamwork.The area of technical skills includes general skills, dc circuits, ac circuits, discrete solid-statecircuits, analog circuits, digital circuits, microprocessors, and microcomputers.The area of test equipment and tools concentrates on the worker’s ability to know and understandhow the test equipment or tool works, and when, where, and how

A typical engineering course to be taught in these semesters is engineering economy(IME 310). Other courses are offered over both Spring/Summer semesters.

In most cases, these individuals workfull-time; and they are interested in cooperative learning with businesses and with industries. Theprograms mainly target individuals holding supervisory and/or managerial positions inbusinesses and industries, who work in a technical environment. Therefore, students in theprogram have varied background in mathematics and in computer-related courses. Many of thembegin graduate programs several years after graduating from college. These students are willingto acquire advanced knowledge in the technology area for their

Perhaps the best known of all the guest speakers is Dr. PaulMacCready from Aerovironment, developer of the human powered Gossamer Albatross5. Byproviding students with a broad experience of relevant lectures, it is hoped that the students willinfer what innovation and entrepreneurship is all about.Like many capstone courses, the lectures are supplemented with a large-scale project-basedlearning activity.

This objective includes not only theirengineering topics such as thermodynamics, mechanics, and control theory, but alsowhat they have learned in their core curriculum classes such as writing and presentationskills, ethics, and, history.With these goals in mind, we set out to modify a traditional laboratory exercise indynamic system control to serve new purposes.

Specific Classroom ApplicationsThe KAI is currently being used in several design and problem solving courses at PennsylvaniaState University. Students are typically asked to complete the KAI in the first or second classmeeting. Brief descriptions of the KAI inventory, its history, and its underlying theory areprovided at that time. The inventories are scored by a certified practitioner, and the results areinterpreted and checked for validity during the following week. A three-hour feedback session ispresented to the class within two weeks, during which time each student receives his or herindividual KAI results. As is true in the ethical use of all psychological instruments, these resultsare confidential and may not be revealed to any other person

Exposure to TKSOLVER provides the student with needed familiarity with the computer and helps to preparethe student for FORTRAN programming. Although 'C' is also offered by the EF department,FORTRAN is the language used in our introductory courses. FORTRAN is a high levellanguage and moderately easy to learn.

No longer do engineers work independently,and employers are looking for more quality-minded and customer-oriented work teams. Mostresearch shows that when the learner is actively involved in acquiring knowledge, theacquisition occurs much more rapidly and is more effectively retained. Therefore, howseriously should educators take the training of social, ethical, human values, andcommunication skills? Perhaps one answer would be the inclusion of cultural diversity that isbrought into the classroom by international students.Cultural diversity is the beginning of prosperity in society.
