innovation while maintaining an equally complementary focus on basic scientific research.Enhancing U.S. competitiveness requires that the pipeline for creative engineering must be strengthenednot only in K-12 education but in engineering graduate education as well. We have been teaching with analmost singular emphasis toward scientific research when all along we should have been teaching with anequal emphasis toward creative engineering practice. Broad sweeping changes are required to create anew type of practice-oriented graduate education, which focuses on creative engineering and innovation,to support the postgraduate needs of the U.S. engineering workforce in industry for leadership oftechnology development and innovation as a complement to

The Electronic ARTrium VIP team is co-instructed by Prof.Weitnauer and Dr. Thomas Martin, Chief Scientist of the Electro-optics Systems Laboratory atthe Georgia Tech Research Institute. Enrollments in the Electronic ARTrium team since itsinception to the time of this writing have been 22, 15, 21, and 24, for Fall 2021, Spring 2022,Fall 2022, and Spring 2023. Many if not all the computer science (CS) students on the VIP teamwere using VIP to satisfy their junior capstone design requirement, but this is transparent to theVIP instructors. Engineering students also have the option to use VIP

University. The University of East Anglia has been delivering a ‘Rotation PhD’in which students visit different labs in 10-week long research mini-projects, directed bydifferent supervisors and trained in different techniques. The ‘Integrated PhD’ at theUniversity of Southampton has offered 3 laboratory rotation projects after which the studentis awarded an MRes (Master of Research) and they then spend 3 more years deepening theirexpertise towards a PhD degree. These approaches have been successful over the years anddemonstrate an appetite for very varied, skills-training focused programs that provide theresearcher with broader knowledge and varied competencies that prepare them foremployment. However, these programs are typically found in

REEMS activities over the academic year include: • Fall and spring seminars and research laboratory tours • Networking among partnering university faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and materials professionals, and • Workshops and seminars on university transfer and academic programs at regional universities. During recruitment, the PI, REEMS staff, university research faculty, and formerREEMS REU students discuss the scope of research projects, various seminars and networkingopportunities, development of a coherent transfer plan to participating institutions, and thebenefits of both the

content and teaching style. While there is slightly less project-basedlearning in India, the differences are minor. Indian engineering companies typically do notrecruit graduate engineers from the leading institutions: they cannot offer high enoughsalaries. A close examination of young engineers working in a leading export-oriented Indianmanufacturing company11 shows a large mismatch between their training and the work theyare expected to do. Therefore it is not surprising that Indian graduates create relatively lowvalue for their Indian companies employing them.Given the pressing need to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions fromdeveloping countries such as India, such skill mismatches point to significant futuredifficulties in

operating system functions is the focus ofthis work. Our work marks a new approach to teaching and studying operating systems design processes. The fourspecific operating system functions studied are those of CPU scheduling, memory management,deadlock/synchronization primitives and disc scheduling. The aim of the study is to first introduce and discuss themodules in light of previous research, discuss in details the affecting parameters and their interaction and attempt tooptimize some of the lesser-established parameter-performance relationships by way of simulations. Results of thesimulations of the four functions are then analyzed in light of specific parameters and the effect they have on theoverall system performance. System performance is
