. Congressparticipants, particularly those from developing countries, stressed the need for facultymembers to be creative in developing innovative, inexpensive laboratory experiences fortheir students. Project labs, where students work in teams to solve problems, were seen asparticularly useful in preparing them for later engineering practice.From the observation of faculty members who use high technology instruction aids, itwas noted that engineering students favor convenience (e.g. access to lectures on video,assignments on a Web site) higher than substance of content or quality of presentation. Itwas noted that many engineering faculty members still use yellow chalk on green boards,and that they needed to be motivated to move to more current presentation

results and reactions are evaluated.Introduction Assessment of the graduate engineer’s capabilities is part of gaining ABET accreditationfor an engineering program. There are many means to do this including standardized tests suchas the GRE or FE examination, interviews with students and/or employers, major research papersand projects, and locally developed essay tests [1]. Another method that the Messiah CollegeEngineering Department has begun to explore is the use of portfolios. Portfolios are commonly used tools in certain professions like art or photography,whereby artists or photographers seek to present collections representative of their best works tocustomers, clients or potential employers.

Focus groups were held every 4 months with the EAPMadvisory council to review the quality characteristics of our program. Industry surveys were sentout every 2 to 3 years to our industry partners who participate in the program. Projectevaluations were obtained at the end of the students' capstone project/thesis to determine studentlearning, implications of the project on the student's company and on the student's career.Student data were gathered from our graduates at various periods (e.g., 2 and 4 years

that (1) the curriculum be EAC/ABET accreditable and(2) the program be self-supporting. The curriculum developed was designed to meet both therequirements of the current ABET criteria as well as the ABET 2000 criteria. During the firstthree to four years, reduced course offerings and smaller class sizes (plus one time startup costs)were projected to create a shortfall in excess of $470,000. To offset this shortfall, localmanufacturing companies, the MCC Foundation, local civic groups, and WMU’s Division ofContinuing Education pledged $470,000 in supplemental support to underwrite the program.

A new course model was created that utilized a hybrid community of practice wherestudents learned about engineering education and worked together to support local K-12 schoolsby engaging in service learning. This project explored the ways in which participation in thiscourse impacted pre-service teachers’ perceptions of engineering and engineering teaching self-efficacy. We first administered a survey designed to measure engineering teaching self-efficacyto pre-service teachers at the beginning and end of the course. In addition, pre-service teachersalso completed reflective journals throughout the course in which they were asked to reflect onhow specific aspects of the course impacted their understanding of the nature

Makerspaces provide a setting for informal learning and student connection inspiredby creativity, discovery, and collaboration. Due to the flexible and informal nature of themakerspace environment, it is an ideal place to build and create social connections betweenstudents.

Those candidates who have more hectic work schedules are able tosatisfy a MS degree within five years. UMR’s program in EMGT was recognized and awarded as number one among all NTUuniversity programs by students and site coordinators. In NTU, the MS degree in EMGTrequires 33 semester credit hours covering two broad course categories. These two categoriesconsist of Core Courses (including a Capstone Project course) and Elective Courses. Elective
