University educators should be responsive to integrate this intothe content, organization, and delivery of high-level technical short courses.1. Introduction Much research has been undertaken to understand and enhance one primary mission ofthe University as an institution: the education of students. The bulk of this work has focused onan interaction where students go to the University in its own context, whether that be a physicalpresence on a campus or through distance learning programs. In each case, the tone of thisinteraction is largely set by the culture of the University, comprised of values, expectations, andstyles of communicating. This approach may benefit many students, who will grow and flourishin the University context; however

Forinstance, why does the committee choose to articulate that it is targeting “all structuralengineers”? The meaning behind this is alluding to the reported propensity of women andminorities leaving design and construction rated fields at a higher rate than average.[2] Inaddition, the phrase “pathway to success” can be a daunting one to understand by engineeringmanagers

increasing globalization, issues regarding international mobility of (often licensed)professionals in a host of disciplines have gained importance. Basic considerations of fairnessand economic efficiency prompt questions about restraint of trade, unnecessary barriers toprofessional practice, and policies that can facilitate domestic and international mobility oflicense holders in different occupations. Positions can be extreme.

Followingthis trend, a three-year pioneer curriculum transformation in System Engineering (SE)has been implemented in many research universities. A subprogram within theelectrical engineering field is related to system engineering. Its emphasis is attachedto the use of system theory in electronic applications, e.g., autonomous vehicles. Infact, electrical engineering related system engineering tends to emphasize controltechniques, which are often software-intensive.

BACKGROUNDMITRE’s System Engineering Guide [1] states, “Requirements define the capabilities that asystem must have (functional) or properties of that system (non-functional) that meet the users'needs to perform a specific set of tasks (within a defined scope).” One of the challenges faced inengineering education is to teach students how to think about the element of “what” in a projectbefore they get into the aspect of “how.” In design classes, as in industry, this is mainlyencapsulated in the “Product Requirement” phase of System Engineering. According to manysystem engineering studies [8],[10],[11], design course outcomes, and in industry, learning howto develop good product requirements is a critical element of System Engineering.

The evaluations hold students’ reflections on learning outcomeswhich can help the instructor make necessary changes in the current practice as well as providean engaging environment to accelerate the learning process. Teaching Engineering Physics I atthe university level is always challenging and interesting since it requires an empathy with thestudents who have just arrived from various high schools.

issues as well.IntroductionWhile the institution of tenure in higher education is often seen as a permanent fixture, in recentyears there have been movements in various states to at least weaken tenure protections, and insome cases eliminate tenure protections for faculty in public universities. For example, in early2017, legislators in both Iowa and Missouri introduced bills that would have in some formeliminated tenure in the state universities [1-3]. Those who support such measures oftenquestion why faculty at universities should have a “job for life”. Yet, at most institutions, facultycan be removed from a tenured position for just cause [4]. Another reason given for eliminatingtenure is to give universities greater flexibility in developing

The paper will framethe current literature on teaching evaluation for growth and development, examine the facultymember’s, the peer’s, and the administrative observer’s perspectives, and discuss how thisprocess has led to

operating at 1 kHz wasvastly different when used in a 5 MHz circuit. The difference was way beyond simpleexperimental error. Investigation showed that the relative permeability of the iron core wasfrequency dependent and thus its inductance was not simply a function of geometry, number ofturns, and turn density. For this reason, choke manufacturers specify frequencies where the ratedinductances are valid.The lessons learned in this paper are not just for those who will do radio frequency (RF)engineering, but apply to other Electrical Engineering (EE) areas as well. In the case of modernhigh speed digital systems where clock frequencies are in excess of 200 MHz, a seemingly shortlead length may have to be treated as a transmission line to in order

Atypical EMAG text emphasizes the mathematical theory of Maxwell’s equations for solvingproblems [5], [6]. While the mathematical approach excels in expressing relationships of EMAGconcisely, and lends tools for effective problem solving, treating the subject solely in this waycan leave the practical application context of problems unclear to students.
