engineering relate to domestic life inthe 18th and early 19th centuries (Kohlstedt35, 1999). In fact, the study of botany was framedfor and by women in the late 18th century, who used their knowledge in gardening, herbalmedicine and food preparation. Women living in rural areas, through organizations such asthe Women’s Institute in Ontario, shared knowledge about science relating to the home –such as farm work, health, food and hygiene issues. This would give birth to schools such asthe MacDonald Institute at the University of Guelph (McPhedran40, 2003).Engineering was a men’s club until the late 1800’s, at which time very few women took upthe discipline. In 1893, only three women had ever received an engineering degree in theUnited States (Lebold

Identify and reduce the impact of the radiology process constraints limiting the ability of the MR and CT areas to maintain their referral base. 2. Provide a project roadmap to maximize the number of procedures available on a daily basis in the MR and CT areas, resulting in increased revenue. 3.

All students work independently ontheir assignments, but frequently assist one another to overcome problems they encounter.Approximately midway through the ten-week quarter the students are split into teams of three tofive persons for assignment to a company project. Based on individual preferences or companyrestrictions (e.g.; US citizenship) the project is designated and arrangements made for a plantvisit.

We do not want to mislead anyone: we do not claim to have the answers, and wecertainly have many unanswered questions, however, we believe that a national dialogue isrequired if engineering education is to
