. IntroductionEquipping graduate students with the skills they need to succeed in an academic career is aparamount issue in engineering education. There has been much concern that while graduatestudents receive extensive support in developing themselves as research scholars, there are fewopportunities for them to receive training on how to teach.5,10,24 Further, the recommendation inthe Educating the Engineer of 2020 (p. 92) calls for creating learning environments “in whichstudents (1) were more actively engaged than taking notes, (2) focused on problems, designchallenges and artifacts in addition to concepts, and (3) often worked with other students tounderstand and complete assigned tasks.14” Since active learning teaching methods, like theones mentioned in

The Mission of the College is to provide acontemporary, person-centered educational experience characterized by high academic standards,reflection on values and principles, and preparation for a life-long career. In this regard it is alsoimportant to note that, consistent with this Mission, there is a strong emphasis on providingeducational opportunities to first generation college students. As mentioned earlier, retention of students has both institutional and global ramifications.

whole system is in sleep mode, theonly power consumed will be due to leakage of the operation units that monitor for an event tooccur. The speed at which the processor can wake up and be fully operational again is a keyaspect on these implementations. In many commercial processors available to students, that timehas been scaled down to less than 10s. Implementation of various low power features has led tothe claim by hard core processor manufacturers that a product can be designed that will operatemore than a decade on a single battery. A ten year battery life is of particular concern to studentswho plan to make a career of designing embedded systems for use in inaccessible locations suchas the human body.In addition to training students for

Participants were selectedbased on input from academic and professional experts, chain sampling during the interviewsand personal experience. A total of eleven practitioners participated in the survey. Each surveywas a minimum of 60 minutes long.Each of the participants was questioned on their own perceptions of what skills an individualparticipating in design activities needed to possess to be successful.

Instructional Planning). In doing so, I met people with career paths that were entirely different from my own. Still, they taught me about the very deliberate actions that teachers can take to be effective. I also found that I was expected to teach material that I had not seen myself in several years. I did quite a bit of research in areas such as plate tectonics and chemical bonding. While learning these things myself, I discovered a new appreciation for the entire process which influenced my planning strategies greatly. Throughout the year, I learned about how the engineering process can be applied in many different ways. I was able to gather data from students, analyze that data, draw

For instance, engineers are expected to have a broader range of skills, a greater sense of teamwork, more eclectic interests, and an awareness of information from sources outside of their field of interest.The Problem and the Purpose of the Assessment The problem that this study addresses is that there is a lack of affiliation with and informationfrom industry and the communities related to the public university engineering programs.

there are far too many [unethical] options for us to pick and [the school] does a lot to prepare us for our future careers but, as far as the ethics goes, I haven’t seen much support or attempt at guidance.When students did acknowledge receiving larger amounts of professional ethics education intheir engineering courses, they reported frustration that this education emphasized the knowledgeof ethics instead of incorporating a larger focus on ethical reasoning and behavior. For example,students at one institution expressed concerns that their ethics education was almost solelyfocused on academic integrity and being cautioned not to cheat on coursework. These studentswanted their ethics education to include discussion of complex

However, it is becomingvery common for mechanical engineers to incorporate high level, simple programmingtechniques in their day-to-day work.
