Course objectivesinclude the introduction of modern data acquisition systems and techniques, the development andpresentation of statistical techniques for data analysis, and the introduction of formal uncertaintyanalysis. These three course topics are employed in nearly every rigorous engineering experimentthat a student would perform in either an industrial setting or during advanced graduate research.However, most laboratory experiments are ‘canned’ and handed to the student with a detailedprocedure

user interfaces (GUIs) programmed in MATLAB. In the following sections, we willdescribe features of the GUIs, and some different scenarios where they have been successfullydeployed. In this section, we show why MATLAB [2], or an equivalent language, should be chosenfor developing of high quality GUIs. Another consideration for our curriculum is that our studentsalready use MATLAB for many courses, so they have universal access to MATLAB.GUIs that illustrate engineering concepts typically require an advanced numerical engine, asophisticated plotting package, and professional user-interface capabilities. When choosing acomputer language for developing GUIs, these requirements must be balanced with other issues suchas the complexity of the

-technical process constructed from small sub-systems or networks of role players (notnecessarily human) whose interactions drive the system forward. Such structures are open toconflict both within and between them. For example, as Larry Bucciarelli has showndesigners work in a social system and the resultant designs are as much a result of the culturecreated by the system as they are of anything else [8]. Elsewhere it has been suggested thatunderpinning all these knowledges is the desire of an organization to learn [9].Therefore to be technology literate an individual requires an integrated knowledge from anumber of disciplines including engineering. This in turn means that a curriculum composedof engineering plus a variety of subjects in the

Electrospray thrusters are now being considered as high specific impulse(propellant efficient), low thrust devices for small satellite maneuvering and control [4,5].Electrospray thrusters for flight missions are a complex technology, requiring a balance ofelectrical performance, fluid flow management in micro-gravity, and manufacturing precision forhigh performance, and system lifetimes. However, the basic principles of the devices can easilybe demonstrated in a lab setting as part of an undergraduate curriculum using a simplifiedterrestrial version of the thruster to demonstrate key principles and operational considerations.Minor modifications can be made to the such a set-up to convert it to a thruster suited to agraduate level curriculum where the

It is not any surprise then that the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) is also simultaneously pushing to see these types of skills integrated intoacademic curriculum. ASCE has indicated that one of the attributes that should be embraced bythe Civil Engineer of 2025 is creativity, leading to “proactive identification of possibilities andopportunities and taking action to develop them.”2 ASCE has further indicated that civilengineering students need to also develop the ability to critically think.3 If our civil engineeringstudents are to achieve success in professional engineering practice, they must develop the

2022 and 2023 years were correlated with their summer activitypreference. In the Civil Engineering curriculum at The Citadel, summer courses are not required,however they are encouraged for students who are behind, particularly in Calculus. Summercourse offerings can also enable incoming juniors to “get ahead” by taking one or two junior-level courses early. Additionally, rising juniors rarely participate in military training exercises forthe entire summer thus minimizing that effect on the data. As seen in Figure 3, rising juniors inthe lowest GPA group (cumulative points less than 2.5) are more likely to take a class over thesummer, either by itself or at the same time as an internship. This finding confirms expectationsthat students with

Tonso (1996)argues that "engineering education must change before inclusion of women is realized" (p. 217),and that this change must represent substantive changes not only to the curriculum, but also tothe very culture of engineering education.One response to this problem is to develop and implement curricular and instructional strategiesthat move to restructure the cultural norms in engineering education in ways that are moreinclusive of and effective with girls and women.
