Although the program provides excellent international training, itsimpact on the majority of the URI engineering graduates remains peripheral; students who do nothave the motivation to enter the program at the beginning of their degree program receive littleor no international engineering exposure.The experience at Northern Arizona University has been similar.

WISEngineering is a free, open-source environment that supports STEM learning by guiding students through informedengineering design projects1. WISEngineering includes learning modules that involve extensivehands-on engineering for real-world problems and integrate computer-aided design (CAD) anddigital fabrication technologies. Here we

CurriculumAbstractAs the United States tries to remain technologically competitive with other nations the demandfor engineering professionals is expected to increase. Since the early 1990‘s, many K-12engineering outreach programs have been incorporated into middle schools either through hightech electives or in tandem with the State prescribed math and science curriculum with the intentof fostering student interest in science and engineering. In spite of both approaches the ratio ofscience and engineering degrees awarded annually to the college aged population in the U.S. isless than in other countries. Furthermore, the number of underrepresented minorities earningthose degrees is 12% according to the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering

A new undergraduate electricalengineering curriculum with a comprehensive electric power and high voltage engineeringcomponents is proposed. In addition to the more common electromechanical energy conversion,power system analysis and control, and power electronics, basic knowledge of the fundamentalsof the high voltage phenomena, high voltage generation, testing and measurement, dielectricsand electrical insulation as well as electric

S. system of graduate education in science and engineering is one of the nation’s great strengths. It has served as an international model --- -. But changes in the way science and engineering are conducted and funded are exerting stress on the traditional system of graduate education. John A. Armstrong recently retired as IBMs Vice President for Science and Technology and his article reflects astrong corporate viewpoint. However, this industrial perspective is in good agreement with the COSEPUP report. Changeis justified
