How can we clearly and consistentlyarticulate the essential elements of career planning from the outset?These questions challenged us at the University of Arkansas Career DevelopmentCenter to create this cohesive comprehensive career development program -theProfessional Development Institute.

Retaining Women Engineering Faculty – What Do We Know? Linda R.

It went on to speculate that the overall number of women engineers inacademe were unlikely to change in the near future. Why is this the case? Are women engineersnot choosing to pursue academic posts? Are those that do not being retained? If so, why?

During the design challenge, groups are tasked with developing a circuit that triggers an alarm when a trough for feeding a baby lamb is empty. Students plan a circuit design, test it themselves, and develop a schematic diagram. They pass it to another group in the class to construct and test.

Applying PM skills to researchbenefits both the student and their research team by improving time management, taskcompletion, and communication. Ultimately, we anticipate that PM skills will increase students’likelihood of completing their degrees and equip students with transferable knowledge for theirfuture work.To assess the effectiveness of the course in meeting our goals, we developed a comprehensiveevaluation plan that included pre- and post-class surveys.

engineering in the positive sense as a necessarysolution to existential engineering in a negative sense is that risk creating engineers have anethical obligation to ensure risk reduction engineers will be around in the future to deal withunforeseen developments. Since engineering as a knowledge-based skill set is like everythingsubject to historical generation, corruption, and mutation, engineers need to be critical ofunreasonably long-term, large-scale design specifications. So far as I know, only philosopher ofengineering Michael Davis has attempted to address this professional responsibility, one thatcould contribute to reducing pressure on the engineering accelerator.In a recent article Davis begins with the observation that planning for future
