AC 2007-130: MARGINALIZING DISSENT: ENGINEERING AND THE PUBLICHEARING PROCESSDavid Haws, Boise State University I like to think of myself as a boundary spanner—bridging between “hard” science and “soft” skills. The bridge metaphor is attractive, but it probably implies more precision than I deserve (urban sprawl comes more to my mind). My “professional” degrees are in Civil Engineering (an undergraduate degree from the University of Utah; and a master’s and Ph.D. from Brigham Young University). I also have an undergraduate degree in English from the University of California at Berkeley, and master’s degrees in Instructional and Performance Technology, and Technical Communication from Boise

Education, 2006 Engineering Management in a Competitive Global EnvironmentAbstractThe world around us is changing. The beginning of the twenty-first century is a period of rapidtransition in which the pace of this transformation continues to accelerate. New organizations,technologies, and products are materializing at an escalating rate. Those organizations unable tokeep up and successfully compete will quickly fade away. The shifting dynamics of trade andbusiness continually reflects the increasingly competitive nature of the global marketplace.Organizations along with their managers must adopt and adapt new methods in order to survivewith these sweeping transitions. Together these changes have created an entirely new paradigmfor global

Those papers emphasize three critical areas: Learning in and out of the classroom; The pathways to studying engineering, retention, and diversifying learning community; and Using technology to enhance learning and engagement.The NSF is committed to establishing and the engineering education community is in need of aresearch agenda focused on propagating documented innovations. To most effectivelyaccomplish this, it is necessary to capture needs and potential solutions through a number ofdifferent approaches that actively involve the larger engineering education community. As suchthis work addresses four major questions.1. What accomplishments have been produced to date? What new innovations have occurred over

detailed.IntroductionOngoing research in nanotechnology is revolutionizing several fields, includingmicroelectronics, biotechnology, and materials science. It is predicted that by 2020, nanoscaleengineering will bring about mass applications in industry, medicine, and informationtechnology.1 As a result, a growing number of scientists and engineers with the ability to createinnovative designs using nanotechnology will be required. This is creating an urgent need forcurriculum enhancements right now in STEM education. This paper focuses on the impact thatnanotechnology will have in the area of microelectronics, one of the main economic drivers ofthis information technology age. The ability to shrink electronic devices down to submicrondimensions has made possible Very
Session 2164 A Distance Learning Subject in Polymer Engineering David Roylance Department of Materials Science and Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139AbstractThe Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT has for many years offered agraduate subject in Mechanical Properties of Polymers, which includes such topics as rubberelasticity, anisotropic elasticity, mechanics of composites, viscoelasticity, yield and fracture. Inrecent years this subject has made increasing use of web-based delivery, which offers a
, understanding of the basics, and oftenhard work. That’s why many students avoid it. History is full of examples of scientists,researchers, and engineers who avoided critical thinking in their careers. Those who did applycritical thinking, contributed to the progress in their disciplines. It may seem that lack of criticalthinking occurred only in the past. We often are so deeply engaged in solving problems that weoverlook that there often is another possible approach to a problem. In the bibliography1-9, severalreferences are given to publications that deal with critical thinking as a way of living. In thispaper, only limited experiences are presented that relate to a few courses in the MechanicalEngineering Technology Department at Purdue University.2

Indeed, in its 1955 Report on Evaluation of EngineeringEducation (known as the “Grinter Report”)1, a panel sponsored by the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE) stated: “Engineering is far from static, for it is essentially a creative profession.”This sentiment is echoed in the Summary Report of the 1995 Civil Engineering EducationConference2: “…civil engineering education should be continually evolving to higher levels of quality and at all times incorporating new technologies and practices into the civil engineering education process.”In keeping with these statements, the engineering profession has witnessed an acceleration of thebreadth, depth, and magnitude of change
American technology ondisplay at the World’s Columbian Exposition for the Association’s journal. Riedler’sinterest in American engineering education had its origins in his role as a jury member atthe Philadelphia Centennial in 1876 and his admiration for the accomplishments ofAmerican civil and mechanical engineers, whom he considered to be among the world’sbest. He was also the leading German proponent of reform of engineering educationaway from overly abstract and theoretical instruction, equal standing for newer technicaluniversities with traditional institutions of higher learning, and improvement in theprofessional and social standing of the engineer in German society.Riedler’s report singled out programs at Cornell University, Massachusetts
