It is now being ported to anembedded platform that integrates an arm processor, a monochrome camera and an Ethernetnetwork link. This new hardware will provide a modular, easy-to-use system of the type thatcould be deployed in the field. Students will also be characterizing the performance androbustness of the algorithms in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the system for theapplication.

In responseto the new criteria UMCP developed a team based design course for the freshmanengineering majors. The course has been adopted with suitable modifications at UMES.The course is designed to introduce field of engineering and engineering design processto freshman engineering majors so as to enable them to realize how individual courses inan engineering curricula are integrated together under a common objective.In this paper we describe the highlights of design efforts by the students in developinghuman

Computer Engineering isnot part of the curriculum of many high schools; thus, students are not exposed to this field ofstudy. Many high school students have misconceptions of engineering, a complete lack ofunderstanding of “what it means to be an engineer”, and/or feel they are incapable of achievingsuch high aspirations. The University of Texas at San Antonio is the third largest Hispanic-serving institution in the U.S. One of the goals of the University is to recruit disadvantagedstudents and underrepresented minorities, especially those who are the first generation, to attain adegree in higher education.

Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Implementing a Campus-Wide RCR Training Requirement for Doctoral StudentsOver the last few years, Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training has been takingon increasing importance in the graduate curriculum. This is primarily due to a change inpolicy that was promulgated by the National Science Foundation and to evolvingguidelines for NIH training grants and fellowships. In 2011, the Georgia Institute ofTechnology (Georgia Tech) implemented an academic policy that requires all newdoctoral students to receive RCR training. It was decided that the institution would move“beyond compliance” in the sense that doctoral students would receive RCR trainingirrespective of their

The NCEES Model Law starts the definition of the Practice of Engineering as “any serviceor creative work” [5]. Despite this, while ABET defines engineering design as “an iterative,creative, decision-making process” [6] and Criterion 5 requires engineering programs to includea culminating engineering design experience in their programs, it has yet to explicitly requiredemonstration of creativity or innovation as a student outcome.

The model is built on a well-thought-out program design reflected in a transferarticulation agreement and a joint commitment to quality and student success. Integral to theapproach is the requirement that the rigor of the curriculum at the community college matches thatof the 4-year partner. In addition, faculty, administration, and staff work synchronously andcollaboratively to provide intentional student support at each institution, with financial assistanceup to the master's degree completion.
