NU students earn their degrees in a uniqueone-class-per-month format, and attend classes at night so they can continue to move forwardin the workplace. Programs in this format can be completed faster than at a traditionaluniversity, albeit in an intense fashion. Each graduate course has 40.5 hours of class roomcontact. Students are allowed to take only one course at a time. Initially, the introduction of an Engineering Management program was planned for aclass room environment offering.

with their Caucasian male peers atRIT. In response to the relatively low number of women enrolled in the Kate Gleason College ofEngineering, and the desire to improve their retention, an Internal Advisory Board formed inearly 2004 as part of RIT’s Women Engineering (WE@RIT) Center. Active members of thisboard consist of engineering faculty, administrators, and students from three different collegeswithin RIT. In its first year of existence, the WE@RIT Internal Advisory Board created andapproved a mission, supporting objectives, and an in-depth strategic plan. The group hasdeveloped a comprehensive plan aimed at improving retention of current women engineeringstudents. In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the WE@RIT program, with a

This course was found not to fit into the curriculum when the University convertedto a semester-based system beginning with the 1997-1998 academic year. The suspension of thisclass offering came at a precipice in the history of civil construction document design andpreparation. During this time, changes in the way site and roadway plans were produced left theprevious offering’s methodology of presenting material in this course in need of a review andoverhaul.

programming activities are closely intertwined in theintroductory course on computing taken by all first year students at NJIT. In this course,each class is goal directed, as it is designed around a problem-solving experience thattakes into consideration the programming material covered in that session. Problem-solving heuristics and program development tasks are integrated and introduced as seriesof activities requiring specific knowledge and skills that must be acquired and masteredby the students. The problem solving and program development process, consisting of formulatingthe problem, planning the solution, designing the solution, translating the solution, testingthe solution, and delivering the solution, begins with the students, and the

others are elective courses. Classmakeup in these two types of design courses can be quite different, and this should influence thedesign of the course. Elective courses are generally populated by students genuinely interestedin the subject and more likely to pursue engineering practice in that subdiscipline. Since it is rarethat a single civil engineering subdiscipline is preferred by over 50% of the students in adepartment, it is likely the majority of the students in a required design class do not plan tospecialize in that subdiscipline. However, their own specialty will often require a goodunderstanding of how specialist civil engineers in the other subdiscipline do their job so they caneffectively interact with those other professionals.
