The aim of this article was to evaluate the English-learning of engineering students by using the Grey Student-Problem chart (GSP chart). The research was conducted with 37 freshman engineering students in a private university in central Taiwan using Facebook wall posts to make English sentences, and the GSP chart to evaluate the engineering students’ English performance. The two vocabulary tes...

The public has an incomplete understanding of engineers and engineering as a profession. In discussions about the public’s understanding of engineers, many have referenced the “conventional” stereotype of engineers as train operators. Though this stereotype may exist among students as well as the public, few investigations to date have focused on students’ ideas about engineers and engineering....

Lafayette College, with strong programs in engineering and the liberal arts, requires sophomore students to enroll in a “VaST” (Values and Science/Technology) course. These courses incorporate approaches from the engineering viewpoint and ideas from the social sciences and humanities. As a result of taking a VaST course, students should be better able to see and understand engineering and scien...

Graduate students engaged in engineering education research have always informally networked in small clusters at engineering education themed conferences. As the graduate student population has grown, so too has a widespread desire to develop a larger, more formalized student network. An effort supported by engineering education faculty and interested graduate students is currently underway to...

In 1965 the Draper Corporation (Draper), the largest domestic textile machine manufacturer, was the 500th largest industrial corporation in the United States [9, July 1965]. Draper had been the world-wide textile machinery technology leader from the development of ring spinning in the 1870s and 80s through the development of automatic looms at the turn of the century and high-speed looms in the...

As the next generation of engineers, engineering students at the local level have specific views on what key issues should be addressed in the coming decades. Results of a University of Kansas survey completed by over 220 engineering students from sophomores to graduate students in seven engineering majors from five departments are reported, analyzed, and compared with the 14 Grand Challenges f...
