is not what they expected 9 and that there is a need for providing more training to engineering graduate students who are assigned teaching duties10. These issues can be effectively addressed in the PFF teaching seminars.• Student diversity. While most undergraduates in engineering programs are domestic students, many Ph.D. students are foreign nationals. For example, in 2000 7.9% of B.S. in Engineering degrees and 49.9% of Ph.D.'s in Engineering were awarded to foreign nationals; in 2001 these percentages were 7.4% and 45% respectively11. Thus in the engineering field it is especially valuable to have a forum for discussing cultural differences and respect for diversity. The quarter-long seminar on Effective Classroom

It was deemed essential to introduce the students to this "real world"engineering experience as early in their academic career as their capability allowed as an "careerinterest grabber". A second objective of this approach was to "encourage" the students to callupon a broad range of previous course(s) experience(s) to successfully complete each weeklydesign challenge. The final objective of the course was to maximize the opportunity for thestudents to have an early "hands on" experience with actual industry-standard components,equipment and software.The curriculum offering sequence of the lab course follows the

Realizing thestrength and accomplishments of CEMS, they felt it was important to maintain that portion of thename and not “redefine” it to include SWE. Yet they felt that using CEMS/SWE was too muchof an “add on” and did not truly reflect their feelings of complete collaboration. Afterconsiderable debate and reflection, they agreed to CEMSWE. What made this name appropriatewas that they “shared” the “S” in the middle and it ends with “WE”. The collaborative events Page 5.458.1now

Throughout the 1960’s, a continued shift inengineering curricula occurred in the direction of increased emphasis on analytical techniques,due in part to the explosion of knowledge in mathematics and the basic sciences. Thisrepresented a transition to the era of engineering science, an era which produced fine analyticalengineers, but engineers who were required to learn most, if not all, of their design skills aftersecuring their first engineering position. By the 1980’s, the effect of these shifts was evident in a

As a result, the ‘subjects’traditionally observed became active participants, to some degree or another, in the researchdesign, data collection, and/or data analysis phases of the research.
