Further concerns were expressed in a 1914 discussion to apaper by Worcester11.It was the finding of rotted wood piles beneath the Boston Public Library in 1929, and concernsfor the wood piles across the street at Trinity Church that set in motion the major 1930’s studyand the early public awareness of the tenuous relationship between groundwater and wood pilepreservation12. But the issue lost advocates and public awareness with the onset of World WarII, and the urban decline of the 1950s and 1960s. It was not until 1984 when rotted wood pileswere discovered beneath the 19 contiguous rowhouses on the waterside

biological modeling approach to someone who already has a solid background in mathematics, cell biology, and physiology. You must provide your “student” with the known mechanisms of a particular disease (with which you yourself are already very familiar), and then teach this person to determine the appropriate length scale at which to model the disease process (e.g. cellular, molecular, tissue, etc.) and to identify functional modules in which to compartmentalize the model. Rate your current confidence level at accomplishing this task on a scale of 1-5 (5 being “extremely high confidence”).8. Would you feel comfortable picking up a book(s), researching journals, and integrating information across multiple length scales to set

part American universities have neither kept up with the paradigm shift in engineering for innovation nor with the changes required in professional graduate engineering education to reflect the modern process and practice of engineering for technology innovation during the last four decades. Emphasis on attracting federal funding for academic basic scientific research began during the late 1960’s, intensified in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s to the present day ─ resulting in the subsequent build- up of a generation of excellent research-oriented faculty at most engineering schools who are expert at scientific research, who can attract federal research funding, but who are not that proficient, experienced, interested, or rewarded in

The nation ispaying the price for long-term underdevelopment of the U.S

For example, during theGreat Lakes Storm of 1913, at least 19 ships sank, killing 248 aboard.7 In the 1970’s, perhaps themost mysterious of Great Lakes shipwrecks occurred, the wreck of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald.When the Edmund Fitzgerald set out for Zug Island on November 9, 1975 there was a galewarning issued by the National Weather Service. Winds were reported at speeds greater than 50knots, and waves were estimated to be over 10 feet high.8 The Fitzgerald continued to move outinto the storm, which proved deadly. They were out of sight and off the radar in just minutes.The members of the ship did not send

Then we offer amore in depth comparison of ABET’s development of Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000) withthe current proposed revisions as they have unfolded. We seek to develop insights on the role ofgovernance in effecting change in engineering education, and specifically on historical changesin ABET’s processes for decision making and theories of change. These insights will point topossible interventions in governance structures to facilitate more inclusive participation in settingfuture directions for engineering education.IntroductionABET, Inc.’s proposed changes to Criteria 3 and 5 of the Engineering Accreditation Criteria,now in their third round of review and comment

ACTIVITIES, INITIATIVES, AND PROGRAMSEngineering education at the University of Ottawa goes back to the 1870’s (Hallett 2011). It tookmore than a century before the introduction of a formal option in engineering management intothe undergraduate programs of studies in engineering. This was followed in 1980 by theestablishment of a certificate in engineering management offered as a 5th year of business andmanagement courses following the undergraduate degree in engineering. A graduate diplomaprogram in engineering management was created in 1981 and this program later (1989) evolvedinto the current

social responsibility and moral decision-making,specifically in terms of engineering pedagogy.Keywords: social responsibility, embedded teams, human-centered design (HCD), engineeringeducationIntroductionSince Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was first introduced in the 1950’s to expandorganizational bottom-lines from profit and legal considerations to issues of social impact, CSRhas grown into a global force for linking corporations with the areas in which members live andwork. Extant research has explored CSR on a broader organizational level, without necessarilyconsidering how social responsibility manifests on the team level. Thus, we contend that feelingsand understandings of responsibility experienced by students working on design
