inscience and technology (S&T), innovation, and productivity enhancements. In fields as diverseas education, infrastructure, and information technology, development funds are flowing toengineering expertise that can work with players in developing countries not only to supportconcrete projects, but ultimately to build the local capacity of policy-makers, educators, and theprivate sector, without which the sustainability of any progress is compromised. It is this lattereffort – the process of capacity building and the role of the engineering education sector – that isparticularly exciting for the American engineering education community.This paper will outline the confluence of economic drivers and development challenges thattoday foster

The roadmap for updating the CE/ENVE program educational objectives (PEOs)A task force was formed to develop a solid draft of the new PEOs (Revision-3) according to thepreviously outlined recommendations by the students, faculty, and IAB members. In addition,the task force members integrated their own concepts while developing the new set of PEOs. Thetask force consisted of a variety of stakeholders: 7 CE/ENVE faculty (including the twoAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) coordinators and the DepartmentChair); 9 CE/ENVE students; the Chair of the College of Engineering
to take these ideas that are already there and make them better.” “I guess engineering would be defined as an innovation of products that we are looking – or problems we’re looking to solve and products that we already have to make them better and safer for everybody. I guess it can also be considered research and expansion to new, better ways to do different things that we look forward to doing.” Page 23.559.6 2. Engineering is using math, science, and/or technology. For example: “I’d say engineering is a very scientific, very hardcore major where you have to combine the best of a lot of sciences and
) Understanding how engineering learning and educational experience vary across populations and institutions, identifying significant factors related to gender, ethnic and geographic diversity.The study addresses the following research questions, that can be categorized in four primaryareas: 1. Skills: How do students’ engineering skills and knowledge develop and/or change over time? How do the technological fluencies of engineering students compare with those found in professional engineering settings? What concepts are difficult for students to learn? How can we measure students' understanding of those concepts? Why are these concepts difficult to learn? 2. Identity: How do these students come to identify themselves

analyzed to determine ifthey behaved like experts or novices. The data consisted of paper-and-pencil solutions and video-recordings of engineering freshmen and sophomores who were asked to think aloud as theysolved typical statics problems. Data from U.S. students suggested that freshman-sophomoreundergraduate students did not use forward inferencing. In contrast to the U.S. data, students atan Indian Institute of Technology clearly used forward inferencing and showed that beginningundergraduate students can achieve the deep problem solving insight characteristic of experts.The U.S. and Indian data include quantitative and qualitative evidence. The distributions offorward versus backward inferencing are reported. Curriculum and cross-cultural
