Scholastic honor societies are among the student organizations which are commonly available for engineering students. These groups provide recognition for academic excellence, e.g. class rank, often combined with other activity or service requirements. The immediate and long-term benefits of student participation in student organizations are well documented, cf. [1]. [...]
The Gateway to a Successful Engineering Career The ideal successful engineering professional should not only depend on their learned technical skills but should embody professional skills which cannot be taught in a classroom, only developed in the real world. EPICS in IEEE provides students with a hands-on opportunity to [...]
Tenure Track: Tips for Making Your Case as a Candidate Launching an academic career often means trying to become a permanent member of an academic institution. Tenure is a commitment that is made primarily based on the university’s needs—not the achievements of those seeking tenure. Typically, a doctorate is [...]
It is often said that engineers learn theories at university and develop practical knowledge by experience. New knowledge emerging from research on engineering practice shows we could provide more effective education for our future engineers. We could make the transition to work much easier, improve productivity world-wide and accelerate our [...]
