Changes in ABET accreditation, along with new paradigms of teaching and new technology in the classroom, are changing the scholarship of engineering education. We must find ways to promote change in engineering faculty for this new opportunity in engineering educational scholarship. Future engineering students are now in K-12, which is becoming an increasingly diverse population that in the past has not been fully represented in engineering education. Current trends show disaffection for

AbstractThis is the fourth paper in the panel session of the National Collaborative Task Force on reshapingprofessional graduate education in engineering and technology that is more relevant to the needs of industryto ensure a strong U.S. engineering workforce. As the final and integrating paper of the panel session, thispaper ties together the three previous papers and focuses on leading change for purposeful action atcomprehensive research universities to implement this needed innovation into the mainstream of universityoperations across the country. The National Collaborative Task Force believes that innovation inengineering education can be accomplished best at the graduate level through a national demonstrationproject effected by a critical mass

Engineering is oneof the careers that will help fuel the engine of economic growth1. If the United States is tomaintain its technological leadership in this interdependent global economy, it must takeadvantage of the entire pool of talent that the nation has to offer. Many major corporations nowsupport the thesis that diversity makes good business sense. Hispanics, African Americans andNative Americans, however, still remain significantly underrepresented in science andengineering with roughly half of the science and engineering

This distinction is often hard to appreciate for individual engineers (especially those engineers intraining (engineering students) that we work with every day). For them, a regulation is a regulation regardlessof its origin. However, there is often some leverage to be found in reminding engineers that these regulationswere not imposed upon them by some outside, non-engineering body. They were, instead imposed upon themby other engineers, who, having decided what they want to require from their profession, have imposed uponprofessional engineers certain legal requirements. Thus, there is an argument to be made that the requirementthat “ethics and equity” and the “impact of technology on

It is very hard to predict the future in the current environment where newtechnologies surface each day because it is difficult to imagine things we have neverexperienced. Most of us can’t predict well and that is why the “futurist profession” emerged.Businesses have to make decisions on not only what they think will happen, but also the way itwill happen. In a matter of days, a new technology can make an old technology obsolete and theinvestment in it virtually worthless. In most cases, left-brain dominant engineers of the past havetended to think conservatively and not be visionary.
