In addition to sharing our experiences, we have invited a speaker to provide challenge and wisdom.
Though the theme is the challenges facing Christian faculty and staff, anyone attending this ASEE conference is welcome to attend this Prayer Breakfast. We will enjoy making new friends at th ... (continued)
Engineering education often focuses on preparing students to be product or service providers (in government speak, working for a contractor). However, the government, as the customer for products and services, also needs engineers to focus on setting requirements (rather than design), maintaining (rather than building), operational testing, reverse engineering, and researching technology without a clear business case.
This session will survey the key differences between serving as an engineer and as a customer in the government, with application for educators preparing customers and solution providers alike.

Over the past decade, colleges and universities have focused their efforts on student success as measured by increased graduation rates and reduced time to degree. These efforts have led to major gains, and they are ongoing. They have also naturally led to the next frontier in higher education where success is measured not only by graduation rates but also by impact on students' wellbeing long after graduation.
This greater goal is as appropriate to small liberal arts colleges as it is to regional and national public universities. If college is in fact meant to prepare students to achieve ... (continued)
