IntroductionProblem DescriptionSince 1950, the demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)occupations have been growing rapidly. The skills required for each occupation are changing.The main objective of this paper is to introduce a tool called Skill Miner System (SMS) that isused to produce a snapshot of what Industrial Engineering’s in-demand skills look like. SMSmay also be used to track the trends of these skills. SMS will benefit various stakeholders, suchas universities, students, employers and recruiting firms. The authors show the application ofSMS at The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and present the easy adaptation to
technologies. These notions, coupled the foundation for teaminteraction on technical and “soft” topics. After the original adoption of the pilot program [8], the AEDept. shifted focus from faculty selecting projects and moved to that of the National AEI Student DesignCompetition (NAEISDC). Here, the capstone teams use the NAEISDC project and requirements as thebasis of their work.All architectural engineering students are in either in the Bachelor of Architectural Engineering (BAE)degree program or the integrated Bachelor of Architectural Engineering / Master of ArchitecturalEngineering (BAE/MAE). Students dedicate four credits each semester or 25% of their course work forthe academic year to this class. From a discipline standpoint, each team

This reduced the initial 254 subject categoriesdown to 29 (11%). Mapping these results as a heat map allowed this study to visualize areas ofresearch concentration amongst these two populations. See Table 2.After assigning color values to this table to generate a heatmap, several interesting trends becameapparent. It is not surprising that both groups of faculty members at UCF and UM have a highnumber of publications in the categories of construction & building technologies; engineering;civil engineering; electrical & electronic engineering

has been slow to implement this technology. The core sciences (biologyand chemistry, specifically) seem to be implementing electronic notebooks in both research andacademic laboratories already. One of the more recent publications shows the Chemistrydepartment at Fairfield University successfully implementing a cloud-based and smartphone-based digital electronic notebook using Evernote software [4]. However, very few articles havebeen found implementing an electronic lab notebook in an engineering undergraduate course.Harvey Mudd College compared paper and electronic notebook usage in their undergraduateexperimental engineering course, which covers multiple engineering disciplines [5]. Theirresults did not show any marked improvements using

The process of reasoning and judgementaround the development and application of technology needs to be cultivated among engineers,and is therefore recognized among the accreditation requirements for engineering degreeprograms [1]. Training students to bolster their ability to recognize their role in ethics andsocietal issues (ESI) is therefore an important concern.Students pursue engineering and computing majors due to a variety of motivations.

More recently,more energy efficient technologies, such as fluorescent light bulbs, have displaced the olderincandescent bulbs. Most recently, a Nobel prize was awarded for technologies related to LEDlight bulbs that are
