the realities of following a budget, a compacttimeline in which to perform the work, and the unanticipated events that always occur in such aproject. Looking back at the experience, our project could certainly have been completed moreefficiently. A pump was decided on and ordered before returning from Christmas break. The pumparrived on schedule; however, getting the clear acrylic pump volute machined properly soonproved to be more time consuming than predicted. This was the result of scheduling conflictswith a faculty member that was to direct our use of the equipment and the time required foroperating the equipment.Proceedings of the 2012 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education Arkansas

the past three decades that underlie the more visibleproblems remain as the matters of central importance today. What is “manufacturingengineering”? What is the inviolable persona of the professional organizations that bear thistitle? What are the mutual responsibilities and dependencies between education and industrialpractice? The first of these great questions has been answered in a time-tested fashion. The remainingchallenges are in implementation. The responsiveness of the ASEE Manufacturing Division andof the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and of the newer players such as the ManufacturingEducation Resource Center and other like-minded groups, is the most critical issue yet to bedetermined.

The proposed changes are based on numerousreports and studies that have examined the issue of outsourcing. These proposed changesare already taking place at many US institutions. While it is not expected that the numberof ECE professional would go back to the peak levels of 1987, it is crucial that ECEcurricula respond to outsourcing by graduating creative engineers that aremultidisciplinary team leaders, knowledge generators, system level designers, and thatare globally aware, business minded, and strong in the fundamentals.References[1] http://www.itpaa.org/modules.php?name=News&file

engineers taught me that engineering is much deeper than piecing somethingtogether, but rather, it is applying math, science, and design to solve a problem. Originally, I wouldlook at the world with health science tunnel vision, only focusing on the physical wellness ofindividuals. However, the more I worked with my psychology and engineering peers, the more Irealized these other disciplines should, in fact, be recognized.As I come closer to entering the work force, I can say that through this interdisciplinary education, Iwill step into the world with an inclusive perspective.

Power the World (PTW), focuses on energy and itsutilization. PTW is co-taught by a mechanical engineer and a social scientist (public policy).The faculty who developed the seminars [3] focused on three key principles: 1.

Forthis work, we use KEEN’s approach that focuses on attributes of the “Entrepreneurial Mindset”(EM) [3]. Broadly speaking, we define EM as a collection of mental habits that empower one toquestion, adapt, and make positive change that engineers possess and leverage in theirprofessional work. This mindset is applicable for engineers broadly, not only in the context ofentrepreneurial ventures and starting new companies.The increased integration of EM has pushed universities to evaluate its impact.
