Schroeder Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Valparaiso University / College of Business Administration, Valparaiso University 1. Introduction For most of the twentieth century, engineering educators in the United States focused largely on developing the technical expertise of their students. Little attention was paid to non-technical design constraints, nor to complexities that arise at the boundary between two disciplines. This strategy was

The first step, however, is thesame as in the direct methods:• The objectives or EMs are ranked in order from most important to least important.• A series of questions is posed beginning with “Is the importance of the first objective (a) greater, (b) less than, or (c) equal to the importance of the second and third objectives combined?”• If answer is “less than”, then the third objective is dropped and replaced by the fourth objective. (If “greater than” then the fourth objective is added to the second and third.)• The results of these questions are recorded as a set of equations that are in the

Academic and student support services need to befront-loaded because the research demonstrates a high attrition rate during the first year ofcollege. In order for students to be retained, they need to develop their skill competencies andconfidence in their ability to perform well academically. This can be done by: a) increasing thenumber of minority faculty members; b) establishing mentoring programs; c) assigning academicadvisers and support services counselors; d

In 1975, it was third. Engineering B.S. degrees peaked in 1985at 77,572 (2.2% women), and plunged to 60,914 (1.7% women) in 19981; (c) The U.S. hasbecome overly dependent on the global workforce while no longer dominating the globalmarketplace for technical talent as it once did6.
