%, especially in classes with small number of students. This is certainly disturbingsince they talk about these quantities regularly, but fail to internalize their proper units. Thereforeteaching measurement units and standards in general, and SI units and standards in particular, isimportant not just for metrication purposes but also for sound education. The knowledge ofweights and measures, according to John Quincy Adams in his Report to Congress in 1821, isamong the first elements of education. Perhaps a most profound statement on this point is that ofW. B. Yeats in 1938, “Measurement began our might …”. Certainly, graduates of technologyand engineering must be literate in the units of physical quantities.ConclusionsThe global economy and

They also investigate the role of government actions and interventions during the recent crisis and comparethis recent economic recession to previous recessions. Finally, recommendations are presented for avoiding similarcrises in the future such as lowering corporate tax rates, offering a payroll tax holiday to U.S. workers, protectinghome mortgages, offering states a $500 per capita federal distribution, reducing crippling regulations for business,making the U.S. educational system more

At the same time, entrepreneurship education forengineers and engineering trainees accelerates the application of science and technologyin the economy.SurveyTo establish how Entrepreneurship is currently a part of Engineering Education, weconducted a survey among engineering students at California State University-Northridge. We surveyed 20 respondents, all of whom were masters’ level students. Thefollowing were the survey questions for the respondents to answer.Survey Questions1.

An example of such an effort was conducted in the fall semester of 2012 in IEGR363: Manufacturing Processes, an IE core course. The course was conducted as a theme-based class having the theme, ‘efficient energy use in manufacturing’. The course also had a hands-on laboratory that included modules in energy auditing.Level 2: Development of interdisciplinary courses This would allow the skills needed for energy engineers to be gained.
