This paper reports on a novel approach taken by the author to the teaching of an Internet programming course targeted at final year diploma and second year degree students. The uniqueness of engineers and their identity is discussed, as is the self-constructed world and ways of knowing in which humankind operates. The novel approach to teaching a…

The population balance equation (PBE) is a useful tool to predict particle size distributions in granulation processes. When PBE is taught to advanced chemical engineering students, the internal coordinates (particle properties) are particularly hard to understand. In this paper, the flow of particles along different coordinates is carefully…

The online deployment of Technology Engineered online Student Ratings of Instruction (SRIs) by colleges and universities in the United States has dynamically changed the deployment of course evaluation. This research investigation is the fourth part of a post hoc study that analytically and psychometrically examines the design, reliability, and…

This report is the successor to "Help Wanted: Projections of Jobs and Education Demand through 2018," in which researchers examined the connections between educational attainment and educational demand in the labor market. In this report, the authors update the jobs projected to be available through 2020, using a macro-micro modeling…

This mixed-methods study explored the influence and applicability of the Perry Scheme to students from mainland China studying in the U.S. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to explore the intellectual and ethical development of students from mainland China enrolled in a U.S graduate engineering program using the Perry Scheme of…

Describes how manpower needs due to recent technological developments have stimulated engineering technology programs. Also describes how various technical and professional societies of the engineering profession have expanded their structure to include engineering technology. (MLH)

This report investigates the feasibility of including computer aided design (CAD) materials in engineering courses. Section 1 briefly discusses the inevitability of CAD being adopted widely by British industry and the consequent need for its inclusion in engineering syllabi at all levels. A short description of what is meant by CAD follows in…

Since 1996, the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration (SMEA) in Taiwan has supported various institutions to establish incubation centers (ICs) for facilitating start-ups and innovation. At present, there are 79 ICs in total and 65 (or 83%) of them are established in universities/colleges. Most ICs in the universities/colleges offering…

Discusses steps to resolve a problem existing at Oklahoma State's Division of Engineering, Technology and Architecture involving the engineering technology and engineering faculty, their curricula and programs. Also identifies characteristics of enqineering and technology. (CS)

Describes a two-semester project course required of all seniors at West Virginia University in the Department of Civil Engineering which involves team effort and encompasses four major areas of civil engineering: structures, geotechnical, transportation, and soils. (CS)

Presents a case study describing cooperative efforts between a community hospital and neighboring college to improve health care operations. Describes functions of a research team established to correlate efforts between The Memorial Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. (CS)
