This data was gathered fromstudents within the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-PurdueUniversity Indianapolis (IUPUI) via an electronic survey. The results will be analyzed incomparison to the results of similar studies, should they exist, facilitated by schooladministration in order to determine whether a disparity exists in the answers given to fellowstudents and answers given to the School. Specific gaps in the engineering and technologycollege experience will be identified, and recommendations will be given for students, faculty,and administrators.

Experience with obsolete andunappealing science labs causes too many students to develop a negative view of science andwhat scientists do, and they never develop an understanding of how scientists address problems.

No longer is itsufficient for programs to demonstrate that they provide students with the appropriate inputs: aspecified minimum number of credits in fundamental math and science, engineering science,engineering design, and humanities and social science. Now programs must demonstrate theattainment of specified outputs: capabilities achieved by students in eleven different skill areasspecified by ABET, as well as additional areas selected by the programs

IntroductionAfter several years of development, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMD)began a successful, integrated, first year engineering curriculum in September 1998. Thisnew program was called IMPULSE (Integrated Math, Physics and UndergraduateLaboratory Science, and Engineering). The new curriculum dramatically changed thefreshman year because it included• integrating multiple subjects• teaching and using teamwork among students and faculty• using technology-assisted classrooms to accelerate learning• using active and cooperative learning1• encouraging formation of a learning community of students and faculty• using rigorous assessment to evaluate and improve

In this project, the student had to design an automated speed controller for awindshield wiper motor of a vehicle based on the amount of rainfall. The speed of rainfallin this project was determined by the amount of rain collected in semi-funnel shapedmount under-hoot with flat side against the windshield directly.

The pre- and post-survey data also indicate that thestudents do not have enough information to decide their career paths and there is aneed for additional outreach activities on science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education and careers among the students.IntroductionNanotechnology is said to the revolution of this century.

It has recently been proposed by EdAC (the EducationActivities Council of the American Society of Civil Engineers) that the ABET (the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc.) requirements for civil engineering in particular beamended to include the history and heritage of civil engineering, adding this to an alreadyovercrowded curriculum.

The now familiar TAC/ABET a-k criteria2 will not be repeated here,but they, as part of the new accreditation method require a paradigm shift – a complete change inhow educators view the presentation and management of a curriculum.
