thatchange is needed is when the company is in dire straits. There appears to be great satisfactionamong (E&T) academicians that the status quo of teaching, research and service is achieving allrequired purposes7 while simultaneously lamenting indicators that STEM education in Americais in decline, enrollment of females and minorities is lagging and other nations are creatingengineering professionals at rates this country experienced prior to the availabilities of federalgrant monies. Kerr7 labeled this phenomena “…the folly of rewarding A while hoping for B”.There is a call for changes in P&T processes among some members of the engineeringprofession. Part of that call recognizes involving communities with scholarship in the form

of these topics in engineering educationfor many years. Yet, engineering programs continue to struggle with the development of bestpractices for teaching communication and teamwork principles that are contextual, meaningful,and applicable. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a curricular revision that foregroundsteamwork instruction in a freshman Introduction to Robotic Systems Design course. First, wehighlight our approach to teamwork instruction to prepare students to be effective interpersonalcommunicators and collaborative writers. Next, we assess our efforts through (a) studentfeedback via course evaluations, comparing this year’s data with last year’s; (b) students’ peerevaluations; (c) students’ team progress reports, assessing

Engineers hostsCareer Day for Girls, a one-day event for girls in grades 7-12 to get girls excited about science,engineering, and technology. Through laboratory demonstrations, interactive multimedialectures, and hands-on activities, girls meet positive role models (both female and male) and getto think about the possibilities they have for careers in the technical fields.Many Career Day participants and their parents expressed a need for a multiple-day programheld over the summer--a kind of engineering day camp for girls to get more information andexperience with engineering, and to form relationships with female engineer role models.Undergraduate members of the Society of Women Engineers at Northwestern Universitytherefore went about designing

Unfortunately, the Virginia Techadministration has not made a commitment as of yet to purchase the softwarelicense. Although monthly and pay-for-use plans are available for individual users,it was not clear if there exists a means within the Electrical and ComputerEngineering Department to fund the necessary licenses long-term and, therefore,there was a substantial risk that the investment of the faculty’s and staff’s time andeffort to incorporate Adobe Connect Pro into the distance learning circuitslaboratory course would only be of value for a few semesters. a) b) Figure 3: Examples
