The Slovak students were Ph.D. candidates from the Faculty of MaterialsScience (MtF) at the Slovak University of Technology (SUT). Their studies included MaterialScience, Plant Management, Automation and Control, and Machine Technologies. The MtFstudents were enrolled in a course entitled "English for Specific Purposes", allowing allcommunications to be in English. Both groups reviewed technical English written by peersincluding flaws and idiomatic expressions. The primary advantage of this collaboration is that itis not constrained by curricular discipline, making it easily adaptable by

With an ever increasing number of applications inautomotive, aerospace, medical and other industries, projections have the MEMS marketgrowing to $12 billion in 2002 1 and experts envision that MEMS will soon be as ubiquitous asmicrocircuits. As such, educating undergraduate as well as graduate students in this importantdeveloping area is no longer an interesting experiment in education but a necessary fact. In this paper, the results of an introductory multi-disciplinary, project-oriented course inMEMS are presented. The course is team-taught at Tennessee Technological University (TTU)by faculty from chemical (CHE), electrical (ECE) and mechanical (ME) engineering to a

Providing thisqualified talent is a challenge facing many engineering schools across the nation. Candidates ofABET accredited universities are instilled with the required technological literacy; however,their critical thinking skills are typically obtained through years of on-the-job training orparticipation in research-based graduate study. Today’s technical employer demands candidatesthat have these skills well in hand for quick industry assimilation and productivity.To meet the demands, engineering schools, with the guidance of ABET, are revamping theirundergraduate curriculum to include activities that stimulate and develop

Included in the course are an introduction to thevarious engineering technology disciplines, exposure to different university services, informationon student organizations, a student “peak performance” lecture series and a clarification ofseveral important administrative policies and procedures. INTRODUCTIONFreshman come to universities with a multitude of reservations, apprehensions, and expectations.Fear of the unknown creates anxiety and stress among freshman which in turn does very little tohelp them adjust to college life. Under this scenario attrition takes its toll and many freshman

, Ehsan Sheybani, and Eduardo Garcia-OteroAbstractThe demand for diversified qualified science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) graduates has increased dramatically in recent years, especially with theretirement of baby boomers [1]. Therefore, the nation is facing a serious challenge ineducating sufficient numbers of women and underrepresented minorities in the STEMfields to meet the demands of the scientific community. Recruitment and retention areimportant ways to increase graduation of women and underrepresented minorities. Thispaper concentrates on retention.There have been many studies on low retention rates among women andunderrepresented minorities in STEM disciplines and different conclusions have beendrawn [2][3][4].

This need is eloquently expressed in the executive summaryof a 1992 NSF report (11) emanating from a “Presidential Young Investigator Colloquium on U.S.Engineering, Mathematics, and Science Education for the Year 2010 and Beyond.” Thissummary states: “Numerous reports and studies have expressed serious concerns that the U.S. educational infrastructure is ill-prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of the next century. The low level of scientific and technological literacy in our society is deplorable, and the trickle of talent flowing into careers in engineering, mathematics, and the sciences from all segments of society is deeply disturbing. The poor condition of our educational infrastructure is

Thedepths of communication topics are dependent on how, or whether, a communication specialty isoffered within the electrical engineering program.At Bowling Green, our electronics and computer technology program has followed a similartemplate, while additionally covering topics such as physical interface standards (e.g. RS-232,RS-422).
