Addressing Societal Concerns through Education in Engineering and Science By Arjun Makhijani, PhD President, Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER)Democracy cannot work if science and technology remain in a black box. People needsome basic knowledge of engineering and science in order to make informed judgmentsabout a wide variety of global issues, such as energy policy, nuclear proliferation,climate change, toxic materials, and genetically modified components in food.

“My First Year Teaching In a College Of Engineering” By Martene Stanberry, Ph.D. The first year of teaching as a faculty member in a College of Engineering provided mewith many opportunities for professional growth. It served as a time to set a foundation on how Iwill teach, do research, and serve the university and community in which I am a part. During thistime it was important to meet the challenges and expectations of the Department of MathematicalSciences, the College of Engineering, and Tennessee State University (TSU) as well as achievethe career goals and aspirations I had set for myself. There are several important factors to consider when making the transition to

Three new lecture topics were developed for our course in the summer of 2020,guiding students to explore systemic injustice as an integral part of the engineering ethicscurriculum, not as a separate topic or unit. In addition to the three new lectures, several existinglectures were updated to include case studies, data, and concepts that connect science,engineering, and technology to social justice issues, with an emphasis on environmental justice.In tandem with the lecture topics, we developed an extensive and growing database of voicesfrom underrepresented groups to supplement or
, less than 5% of the undergraduate degrees awarded in the US are in engineering,compared to 13% in European countries and nearly 25% in Asia [1]. It is becoming increasingly clearthat universities in the United States must adapt their teaching and retention practices to adequatelyprepare students to fill critical roles in a technology focused, multi-disciplinary workplace [2]. Thedesire for a more interdisciplinary approach to undergraduate engineering education is evident as thetransition to more geographically disparate teams is driving the need for engineering professionals todemonstrate that they possess not only the requisite technical acumen, but skills like communication,teamwork and conflict resolution that are not typically taught in

With increased emphasis on manufacturing in recent years, including the establishment offour national institutes for manufacturing innovation, a resurgence of demand for manufacturingengineers with the required knowledge is expected. Because this program will be entirely online,it will increase accessibility and provide an opportunity for career enhancement andadvancement for practicing engineers who may not otherwise have access to a graduate degree inmanufacturing engineering. This paper primarily focuses on online program development including the goals andobjectives to be achieved, selection of a learning management system, faculty training inrequired teaching technology and online teaching techniques, as well as

translatethat knowledge to new contexts in the future [6]. Traditional engineering training, without greatercontext of healthcare and medical need, social inequity, and understanding of the applications inthe healthcare system, only allows engineers to create technology, which makes iterative stepstoward impact in healthcare. Indeed, many research and industry approaches rely on creatinguseful technology and then finding healthcare or clinical applications for that technology. Thisapproach has had many successes, but uptake in the medical community is slow and adaptation tomeet clinical need is often a barrier to entry into the market [7].

Multi-disciplinary research is often the impetus that movesscience, engineering and technology forward to facilitate system solutions. A commonapproach to
technology areas, along with the proper role of academe, government, andindustry in that educational process, is being examined in widely divergent industrial segments.Academic areas such as manufacturing engineering, aerospace engineering, and electricalengineering have all reported results from such studies [1-5]. These reports reveal several broadthemes of educational need developing across these industrial segments: a) Integrating technical and non-technical broad knowledge areas. b) Integrating multidisciplinary technical skills into a comprehensive knowledge base. c) Integrating global perspectives into local decision making. d) Integrating soft skill set development with traditional technical education.It is our
