As previous investigations show (Summers, 2006), these efforts are usuallydependent on the individual faculty member and are not necessarily seen curriculum-wide. At the University of Dayton, our goal is to integrate service industry activities andexamples across the curriculum. From the very beginning of this project the approachwas as integrated as possible. Since the cases were developed for use in a wide variety ofclasses by a single faculty member, care was

Truly autonomous automobiles will also need anadditional support infrastructure that will allow vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, aswell as, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) or vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) wireless networking. Therewill need to be an effort made to supply technicians with the skill sets needed to install, evaluate,maintain, and up-grade these advanced automotive systems and support infrastructure as they arepresently being manufactured and envisioned for the future. This paper will attempt to present a“road map” to a future curriculum that will satisfy the needs of this rapidly emergingtransformation in automotive transportation technology.Introduction:For the past four decades, automobile manufacturers have been

In the 1960‟s, a degree wascommonly completed in four years and that goal still exists today. The recent economicdownturn is placing an interesting burden on that goal. Every course offered has associatedcosts for the university and a balance between students enrolled in a class and the professorsavailable to teach the class must be optimized. For many degree programs, class size is not anissue due to the large numbers of students seeking the degree. However, many degreeprograms do not have the luxury of large student populations and find it extremely difficult

In fact, the current criteria for accrediting engineeringtechnology programs specify that theory courses “should be accompanied by coordinatedlaboratory experiences1.”Through our EET industrial advisory committee and other contacts, we have begun receivingrequests to offer electronics courses on-line. In recent months, these requests have escalated, andnow there is great interest in having an associate degree in EET available on the Internet.Nevertheless, offering an entire degree raises new issues—curriculum issues for the departmentand other issues that cannot be resolved within our own department

When speaking about entrepreneurial failure in the university context,however, an even larger body of work speaks about failure without providing a concretedefinition (Korach & Gargach, 2019; Li et al., 2019; Hirschfield, Huang-Saad & Libarkin, 2017;Jamison IV, D, 2017) or implicitly define it as the inability to properly accomplish a given taskon the first try (Davis & Beyette Jr., 2017; Shooter & Orsborn, 2013).Given the large range of contexts and definitions of failure

Second, there is thepossibility that codes will place an obstruction between personal professional conduct andpersonal values, beliefs, truth, conscience, etc… which challenge a person’s integrity [9].Finally, written codes are fundamentally disciplinary by nature and are not inspirationaledicts to guide a professional to achieve good ethical decisions [10].

this is an essential part of each engineer’s preparation? Thequote by Lord Ashby provides an ideal for the relationship of a supporting generaleducation program to technical courses in a curriculum. Unfortunately, mostengineering faculty have little control over general education courses taught by differentdepartments. This is also not the only way – or the best way – to assure something that isimportant to us. Lord Ashby indicates that the path to culture should lie through astudent’s specialty (engineering), and so this becomes something that must flow fromengineering.
