this paper wedescribe the design of the new general engineering curriculum at the University of San Diego.The argument for an engineering curriculum with a broad foundation that includes the liberal artsis not novel. Just after the creation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1955, theEngineers’ Council for Professional Development commissioned a study to investigate howengineering education could keep pace with rapid developments in science and technology. Theresult of this study was the influential Grinter report1, among whose recommendations includedan emphasis on the importance of integrating liberal arts into engineering education. While thereport argued for balance between the technical and liberal arts, few current

./Purdue Univ. Ft. Wayne (IPFW) over the last three years to promote a sense ofcommunity, self-confidence, and mentoring among women engineering, technology, and computerscience students. Descriptions and schedule of some activities are included.Introduction Comprising a majority of the U.S. workforce, women make up only 8.5 percent of the nation'sengineers. A number of programs have been launched over the past decade to recruit more women intothe field, and while women now represent 20 percent of all engineering students, they remain more likelythan men to switch out of the field, particularly in the first two years of college. A recent study concludedthat women engineering undergraduates with a sense of community are more likely to persist in
subject gravitates. This isthe main goal of this Project to form not only Engineers but also good researchers. This isextremely important to the advancement of Science and Technology. During the program thestudents have to develop projects of Engineering since first year. The projects must beconceived, developed and applied individually. The students can also have a Professor/advisor tohelp them. They present their works in a Congress that takes place every end of school year. Thedevelopment of projects added by lab works provide them at least five projects of experiencethat means a good skill as researchers too. To increment the course the coordinating teamdecided to create the “Preliminary week ” to the beginners. The course occurs before the

declaration: Creating a sustainable world that provides a safe, secure, healthy life for all peoples is a priority for the U.S. engineering community. It is evident that the U.S. engineering community must increase its focus on sharing and disseminating information, knowledge and technology that provides access to minerals, materials, energy, water, food and public health while addressing basic human needs. Engineers must deliver solutions that are technically viable, commercially feasible, and environmentally and socially sustainable.5Clearly, sustainability education will play a major role in providing society with engineers whoare environmentally conscious and critically aware of the global engineering

Through this process,we can help students make software testing an integral part of their coding practice with theunderstanding that testing cannot just be added on to the software at the last minute after it isproduced.Currently, we are working on a TUES (Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Type II project funded by NSF to develop a set ofinstructional materials in the form of course modules, not confined to a particular technique ortool but generalized over different aspects of

The paragraphcontinues: “The College was founded in the belief that a special need exists for physical scientists and engineers with broad enough training in the social sciences and humanities to assume technical responsibility with an understanding of the relation of technology to the rest of society.”This was the first published mission statement of the new college and it reflected the strongbelief at the time that the humanities and social sciences had a new historical role to play in theeducation of engineers and scientists. It was recognized that the professional training of engineersand scientists would require utilitarian courses in report writing

Software Engineering2004 (SE2004) report developed by the joint IEEE-CS/ACM task force which presented detailedcurriculum guidelines for software engineering undergraduate degree programs, SWE educatorshave had the luxury of much needed guidance about what our curricula should look like. Theicing on the cake took the form of Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET)accreditation of software engineering programs by the Engineering Accreditation Commission(EAC); we finally made the cut and were being recognized as real engineers by the engineeringaccreditation commission, but at what price? SE2004 did an excellent job of elucidating theunderpinnings of all engineering disciplines including software engineering. It also identified
inengineering education by integrating instructional design techniques, transforming theclassroom into a cooperative learning environment, and incorporating the use ofinformation technology in the teaching/learning process. One of the major outcomes ofthat work is a conceptual framework for assisting faculty in transitioning from moretraditional instructional modes to more collaborative modes of instruction. Drawingheavily on a typical engineering process, this framework maps concepts readilyunderstood in the engineering design world to the development of instructionalexperiences. This paper outlines that framework and discusses our efforts to export thisframework to faculty beyond Bucknell through a pair of national workshops conductedlast summer
