This paper shows the results of a survey performed in Spain on the different functionalities of e-learning platforms. This survey was filled in by a group of teachers, experts in engineering education from across Spain, within the scope of the Spanish Chapter of the IEEE Education Society. This paper presents their opinions on several aspects of…

After 10 years of organizing the Cybertech robotics competition, this paper presents this unique and innovative educational experience of teaching engineering at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain. Cybertech is not only a well-known robotic contest in Spain due to the "Robotaurus" bullfighting, but is also a whole academic…

Summarizes the results of the 1987 National Engineering Student Employer Preference Survey and compares them with those reported by three previous biennial surveys. Lists the top 25 employer choices in electrical, mechanical, computer science, industrial, chemical, civil and astro/aeronautical engineering. (TW)

The objective of this study was to evaluate grade 9-12 students' motivation while engaged in two different engineering design projects: marble-sorter and bridge designs. The motivation components measured in this study were focused on students' intrinsic (IGO) and extrinsic (EGO) goal orientations, task value (TV), self-efficacy for learning and…

Reveals that 107 institutions offer baccalaureate engineering technology (BET) programs; the majority of these consider their programs to be expanding. This survey finds a current ratio of one BET graduate to every seven B.S. engineering graduates. Includes a list of institutions offering the BET program, including required areas of study. (MLH)

Describes the first bachelor of science program in environmental engineering technology, with objectives of providing adequate training in the control of air, water, and land pollution. Includes a four-year curriculum plan. (MLH)

Presents a listing of industrial members of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Listings include industry name, address, and representatives. (SL)

Reports results of a 1981 survey on undergraduate curricula in chemical engineering, comparing the results to those of previous surveys (1957, 1961, 1968, 1972, 1976). Results indicate that only minor changes have been made in the chemical engineering curricula since the last survey was taken. (Author/JN)

Presents an imaginary dialogue between: (1) a student in search of a research project and (2) a professor in need of a research assistant. Various issues in engineering, chemical engineering, engineering education, and engineering research are addressed during the hypothetical discussion. (Author/JN)

Discusses civil engineering education and the need to extend engineering education longer than four years. (SL)

Survey conducted by the Engineering Manpower Commission of Engineers Joint Council in the fall of 1968.

Twenty problems, with answers, are presented as a means of testing engineering graphics students for proficiency in proper dimensioning practice. (MF)

Lists and describes seven languages (COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC, PASCAL, C, ADA, and LISP), pointing out that familiarity with one or more will enhance employability. Also lists and describes four operating systems (MSDOS, UNIX, MVS, and VAXX/VMS), indicating that knowledge of these systems will further enhance employability or on-the-job performance.…

Examines topics related to classical solution thermodynamics, considering energy, enthalpy, and the Gibbs function. Applicable mathematical equations are introduced and discussed when appropriate. (JN)

Service-Learning in engineering education is gaining ground throughout the country and throughout the variety of disciplinary focuses within engineering education. Examples of service-learning exist in mechanical engineering, construction science, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, and other forms of related education.…
