In this paper, we report ourwork in progress and results from implementing the Initiative.IntroductionThe world’s population is currently approaching seven billion people. This rapid populationgrowth will cause enormous stresses on food, water, energy and natural resources. There will bedouble the number of Asian style megacities with more than 20 million people. To tackle thesechallenges, technology has and will continue to play a crucial role to alleviate these stressors.Among all disciplines, the engineering field has experienced the most radical transformation inthe last 20 years. For example, telecommunications bandwidth has increased by 100,000 timessince the year 2000

National Science Foundation.1 The agenda guidelines for achieving theeducational goals for graduating engineers (as listed in this paper’s abstract), strongly encouragethe study of engineering to become an exciting endeavor that truly engages students. It is alsorecommended that the primary mode of learning in the classroom become active learning.Changes in engineering education are also being driven by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET). The 2004-2005 ABET Criteria for AccreditingEngineering programs4 evaluates the competence of engineering faculty using factors thatinclude “teaching experience, ability to communicate [and] enthusiasm for developing moreeffective programs.”So, what can be done to prepare graduate

The firstsuch course called Form and Function: Design in the Natural and Fabricated Worlds isoffered to upper-level liberal arts students, as well as engineering students. Form andFunction deals primarily with how the form of an artifact is related to its function, wherethe function is broadly defined to encompass non-technical perspectives including art,economics, history, psychology, religion, etc. The second such course called DesigningPeople is open to first-year students living in our residential college for Society

Typicalteaching materials for traditional manufacturing engineering and technology coursesare DeGarmo (2) and Koenig (7). The problems of teaching using this type of material has been described in workby the NSF (4), Koen (6), and Ulrich & Eppinger (11). In addition, teachingmanufacturing topics has been broadened to include such topics as engineering designconsiderations and quality issues. The new philosophy of teaching manufacturing hasbeen described by Clark & Wheelright (1), Dixon & Poli (3), Ettie & Stoll (5), andLindeck (8).

Theengineering and engineering technology graduates are not only expected to understandthe theory behind state-of-the-art wireless technologies, but also to exhibit hands-onanalytical and problem solving skills.To address these changing industrial needs, it is imperative that new courses aredeveloped, implemented, and kept current. However, design and implementation of sucha course or sequence of courses requires considerable investment of time and financialresources. Keeping these courses current with respect to the fast pace of technologicaladvances in the field is another challenge for faculty.College and university professors can address these challenges by using the GlobalWireless Educational

The complex problems reflect a unique field on anew relationship of the structure-property-process in plastics.

AbstractThis is the second of three papers prepared for a special panel session of the National Collaborative TaskForce on Engineering Graduate Education Reform that addresses the need for reform of faculty rewardsystems to advance professional education for creative engineering practice and technology leadership.This paper examines representative templates for professionally oriented faculty reward systems in otherservice professions in order to identify the commonality which should be reflected any faculty rewardsystem for professional engineering education. As a result, three unifying themes among other professionshave emerged which address teaching, professional scholarship, and service/engagement in practice.1. IntroductionTo be successful in any

Each cadet receives a Bachelor of Science degree, upon graduation,and is commissioned as an officer in the United States Army. Currently, each graduate, regardless of major, is required to take a minimum of fiveengineering courses. These five-course engineering sequences are offered in seven disciplines;Computer Science and Civil, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical, Nuclear and SystemsEngineering. The five-course sequence is being restructured for the class of 2005. The resultingsequence will include an information technology course, an
