If bio-related fields are omitted, the percentage drops well below 20%. Only modest improvement has been made in these statistics since, beginning in the mid-1980's, many U.S. engineering colleges focused attention on the issue of diversifying the engineering workforce. Current research indicates that eliminating the significant gender incongruity in engineering requires improvement in recruitment, retention, and advancement practices. In an effort to increase the number of B.S.-level women engineers in Kentucky, a partnership has been forged between Midway College and the University of Kentucky (UK). In this program, students enrolled in full-time study at Midway College may fulfill lower-division electrical engineering course requirements at UK while remaining predominately on the Midway campus. Students may earn an A.S. from Midway and a B.S. from UK in four years. Earning such a degree is becoming increasingly difficult in Kentucky, as smaller schools' offerings of pre-engineering curricula have diminished markedly over the past decade. Obstacles that have interfered with the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in engineering are being countered in this innovative educational partnership. Despite dissimilar profiles, the two institutions embarking on this experiment possess notable similarities with respect to their commitment to gender diversity in engineering and their awareness of the need to increase the number of engineers in Kentucky.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

Given the increased interest in multidisciplinary team teaching and the use of technology within their respective academic programs, the Heads of the Departments of Civil & Mechanical Engineering and Mathematical Sciences decided to re-examine the content, structure and teaching of the last course in that five course sequence - MA364 \"engineering mathematics\"- in an attempt to better motivate engineering majors to study key mathematical concepts in detail and to further strengthen inter-departmental ties. This paper describes the two-pronged approach adopted to \"engineer\" the mathematics course in question. Particular attention is given to the integration of technology across the course and the planned use of a team teaching approach involving engineering and mathematics faculty.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

SelfLab@Home is a novel tele-education project of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Calgary. Its original objective was to become a self-paced remotely accessed training for the use of four basic laboratory devices: oscilloscope, waveform generator, DMM (digital multimeter) and a power supply. The high-level design components include a client interface, a client/server interface, a main server, a server/hardware interface, the agilent oscilloscope, and a video streaming scheme. The implementation of this project required the following components: client Web browser interface, Web server, application server, hardware dynamic link library (DLL), and video streaming scheme. A joint team of high school students enrolled in the research enrichment program and fourth year students have built this remotely accessed instrumentation laboratory to give all undergraduate students a chance to learn how to operate the equipment from outside the lab while working at their own pace.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

Project components included an alumnus guest speaker and a post-project, alumni-sponsored luncheon attended by 27 students. Results showed that graduates spent a large portion of their work time on various written and oral communication tasks.

In the construction management program at Georgia Southern University, we have applied the habitat for humanity house construction experience as the lab portion of our wood structures course. The students learn about wood structures and wood construction during the lecture portion of the class and then are required to complete their lab at the Statesboro habitat for humanity construction site. It is an important experience for the students since they receive a real life look at their lecture material. This active and cooperative learning also provides an opportunity for them to volunteer in the local community. The spring 2004 semester was the second semester that the habitat for humanity lab was in use. It is an ongoing pilot program that initially appears to be successful. We will continue to evaluate this learning environment by student participation, response and habitat for humanity feedback.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

With an initial focus on the ecology of the local watershed, participants explore methods of scientific inquiry, the nature of watersheds, connections between human activity and water quality, and the ecosystem impacted by the watershed. Given the opportunity to discover scientific and ecological principles firsthand, participants are encouraged to become stewards of their own environment and share what they have learned with friends and families.
