Session #1332 The Formal Research Group Model as an Undergraduate Retention Tool Patricia A. Nava Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The University of Texas at El PasoAbstractUndergraduate attrition is a problem in urban Texas State universities, where the graduation rateis lower than 40%. A theory for college departure argues that this graduation rate could beincreased significantly by increasing the frequency of formal social contacts (technicalexperiences outside of the classroom).

They provide themathematical basis upon which the theory of electromagnetics is based and provide conceptualviews that offer insight into the behavior of electromagnetic fields. However, they are noteffective in solving the variety and complexity of modern industrial applications. With industryleading the way, numeric tools have become the very heart of modern electromagnetics. Withthis in mind, introductory courses in engineering electromagnetics and the accompanyingtextbooks 1 are changing to include numeric techniques, not just the tools, but the underlyingprinciples as well. This paper focuses upon the requirements, implementation, and results ofusing an appropriate numeric electromagnetics simulator in

For example, Manu said, “I think our parent’s generation wouldprobably say that ethics was something that was basically taught in the home…and that wasnecessary and sufficient, but now I think there’s an understanding or, for whatever reason, a shiftin society.”Nathan noted that other social forces such as legal liability are driving the need for ethics inengineering education.

E.F. Schumacher2 called these “divergent problems”, and hereminded us that we usually don’t like such problems.“Divergent problems offend the logical mind, which wishes to remove tension by comingdown on one side or the other, but they provoke, stimulate and sharpen the higher humanfaculties, without which man is nothing but a clever animal.”We need to tell our students that most of the problems that they will face have no solutionthat is optimal in all regards, but that they must find a solution anyway.

With this in mind many companies have developed MEMS designsoftware that aids in the design and characterization of MEMS devices. While current PLMsoftware has no design aids targeted specifically at MEMS development, the databasemanagement software can still be used for document management and the design and analysistools may be applied in a limited amount.Also of importance if MEMS design is to be performed by non specialists is the need to exposeengineering students to basic MEMS devices and their functionalities.
