Baxter Magolda’s prior interview protocol11. Interviewquestions were asked to introduce different topics, such as role of learners, role ofadvisors/professors, etc. The advantage of this protocol was that it provided a scope of topicwithout framing the response. Sample questions are shown as follows: -Now, think about yourself as a learner in the classroom, in a research group, or in a project team. What role do you play, what method do you use, to make learning more effective for you? -As you think about your instructors, professors, advisor(s), what role do you think they have played that made you learn effectively?Data AnalysisAll sixteen interviews were transcribed. After the transcription, transcripts were revised where

Then these identified concepts areproperly distributed within the various courses on manufacturing science, manufacturing operations, andmanufacturing design. The framework is deliberately kept open so that schools that are so interested canfurther adjust the structure to develop a curriculum that is better suited to their available resources.

The project timelines arecompletely decoupled from the semester schedule allowing projects to span multiple semestersor even years allowing projects of significant scope to be developed.

and practitioners. In order to improve its globalcompetitiveness, the United States must grow its science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) workforce. Although the engineering sector has grown in past years, in2012, engineers comprised only 1.2% of the U. S. workforce.18 The U. S. Department of Laborforecasts growth in workforce needs among all of the major engineering disciplines (chemical,civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical); however, the projected demand for civil engineers isfar greater compared to the other disciplines (Table 1). 19 This is largely due to the need for civilengineers to address issues related to the country’s aging infrastructure and to the design anddevelopment of new infrastructure needed to

nothing can replace witnessing something firsthand, they must admitthat recent technological advances can provide some of that same “wow” factor. The area ofremotely operated vehicles (ROV’s) is one such field where the “wow” is almost second nature.Since first taking to the oceans as military platforms in the 1960’s, ROV’s have become thebackbone of the majority of marine surveillance and monitoring activities4. Aptly put byBorchardt in 2008, “ROVs can map the sea floor, explore the ocean depths for scientists, andlocate shipwrecks for archeologists”4. ROV’s can be manipulated safely from the shore, or alaunch vessel, removing the operator out of harm’s way, and furthermore can be deployed morereadily when conditions are less than optimal4

the two surveys’ results indicates thatparticipants gained much knowledge as a result of attending the workshop. Hopefully thisincreased knowledge will ultimately result in the retention of these women and minorityengineering faculty.BackgroundAccording to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall engineering employment is expected togrow more slowly than the average for all occupations during 2002 to 2012 [1]. Despite this,overall job opportunities in engineering are expected to be good because the number ofengineering graduates should be in rough balance with the number of job openings over thisperiod. Employment of mining, petroleum, nuclear, and geological engineers is projected todecline, while other engineering disciplines, such as

is to inform students about various aspectsof a career in academia6, ASEE recognizes that many Ph.D. students decide to pursue careers innon-academic environments, and that a substantial number of students are often unsure whetherto pursue careers in academia or elsewhere. To help address these matters, the student chapterorganizes the event Non-Academic Careers for Ph.D.’s to provide students with information onjob opportunities and the work environments in industry and government for doctoral graduates.In this panel discussion students learn that their Ph.D. degree is applicable to a wide variety ofindustrial and government positions and gain an understanding of employment at theseinstitutions. In 2003 the panel consisted of former
