understandingengineering work that differ from your own. Even if other countries do not have single cultures,they nonetheless provide high-probability sites for encountering unfamiliar ways of thinkingabout engineering work. The additional competency gained from effectively engaging peoplefrom other countries is to learn to work with people who define problems differently. The key questions in problem definition include (a) what counts as relevant knowledge, orhow engineers, and non-engineers, draw boundaries around their problems?; and (b) who countsas engineers, or how do issues of life and career affect engineering work? The opening quiz questions provide examples of each of these. In the first question, theAmericans were amazed that the drawings the

Adopt and/or adapt curricular materials developed by community college faculty as appropriate. The NSF-ATE Manufacturing Centers are well suited to provide curricular materials for a broad array of manufacturing degree programs.• Local Champions: Develop a local group of manufacturing champions who will

It is a three-credit hourclass with three 1-hour lectures per week. This paper describes the development of a web-basesolver for compressible flows using Java programming language. The main goal of the solver isto provide students with a software tool that can be used in the compressible flow course. Themain objectives of the project are (a) To design and develop a compressible flow solver (b) To test and

Effective PedagogyThe Kolb’s learning style inventory (KLSI) is based on the concept that the learning processfollows a cycle of activities consisting of four distinct segments, namely (a) feeling (throughconcrete experience or CE); (b) thinking (through abstract conceptualization or AC); (c)watching (through reflective observation or RO); and (d) doing (through active experimentation Page 11.101.2or AE)9,10.

Chapter 8, Part B, Section 2 of the 2004 guidelines requires all organizations,including non-profits, to develop and implement an “effective compliance and ethics program”designed to meet two goals: “exercise due diligence to prevent and detect criminal conduct, andotherwise promote an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitmentto compliance with the law.”7Formed in 1985 as an independent agency of the Department of Justice, the US SentencingCommission was charged with developing consistent standards for sentencing in federal court
related and engineering programs as well. Some of the reasons for this decline is a. decline in the IT industry b. increase in outsourcing c. misconception of the incoming students that CS and SE are fields focused primarily on programming and Web design d. Incoming students focus on the job market today, which may be entirely different four years later. Student employees form a transitional workforce. Students move in and out of projects due to various reasons: graduation, transfer in and out of university/program, Page 11.318.4 or transfer in and out of research projects.
