Her research interests include K-12 STEM integration, curriculum development, and improving diversity and inclusion in engineering.Mr. Artre Reginald Turner, Purdue University at West Lafayette Artre Turner is a dedicated graduate student deeply invested in advancing the field of engineering edu- cation. With a methodical and inquisitive approach to his studies, he’s pioneering research that

Perhaps the most prominent aspect of threshold concepts is their transformative nature.4 Onemanner of understanding the transformative criterion is to recall a concept that presented anentirely new lens to view the physical (and perhaps nonphysical) world. For example, fromelectrical engineering, one of the first ideas that may come to mind is the Fourier Transform of asignal f(t), ' 𝑓 𝜉 = 𝑓(𝑡) 𝑒 (*+,-. 𝑑𝑡, ∀𝜉 ∈ ℝ (1) ('From a purely mathematical point of view, the transform appears

The EET Program at Texas A&M would be pleased tohost the first MP Showdown in the Spring 2004 semester.A Multi-University Mobile Platform Competition The mobile platform concept is now at a point where it is ready for disseminationto other universities. With this in mind, the EET/TET faculty will be working to developa multi-university mobile platform competition over the next two semesters. It is hopedthat this competition will give other engineering and technology programs a chance toevaluate the mobile platform technology and will allow them to integrate thesetechnologies into their curricula.

Educate Yourself - Before attempting to analyze and transform our curricula, we shouldeducate ourselves first on gender equity and multicultural issues. Educating ourselves requireskeeping an open mind and giving ourselves the time to learn and examine the relevant issues. We Page 2.56.1can educate ourselves by attending institutes and seminars offered nowadays at most universitiesand at conferences such as ASEE, acquiring and reading the literature from journals such asASEE Prism and the Journal of Engineering Education

My experience with being a student assistant actually encouraged me to be a TA in graduate school as well. I loved the camaraderie with the other student assistants and getting to know the "behind the scenes" for the class that I took. The pay was good, I liked the professors, and I liked my students. – Post Graduate Student AssistantAlthough respondents indicated it met their expectations, when asked if there were any surprises Page 25.1026.7we did get some very important feedback that

Is it possible to find objectivestatistical evidence that standards have risen or fallen dramatically over the past decade? Thisarticle attempts to answer these questions.The following framework should be borne in mind while analysing the situation in France:* There are some 90 "Universités" in France in the year 2001, varying in size from a fewthousand students up to around 50,000.* There are some 170 "Grandes Ecoles" in engineering in France, whose size rarely exceedsmore than 1,000 students each.* 1.25 million people are paid by the Ministry of Education, 70% of whom are teachers.* There are currently some 1.5 million students

such commercial software packages as mysteriousblack boxes, capable of generating results such as pressure drop, drag, and velocitydistributions, it is important for mechanical engineering programs to graduate studentswith a basic understanding of the underlying concepts, capabilities, as well as limitationsof CFD, i.e., graduates capable of assessing the validity and accuracy of the underlyingnumerical techniques used in commercial codes. This is particularly important since the“colorful” results of CFD can often mislead students into trusting all of the results(correct or erroneous) that the computer generates.With this goal in mind, a senior/beginning graduate level course on Computational FluidDynamics (ME 439/539) was introduced in the
