[Iefac.list] ASEE Publishes Newly Expanded Engineering: Go For It!

[Joel Greenstein]

IE Colleagues,
I followed the link all the way to "Read the magazine" and found 23 different engineering majors described in the magazine, with the following four majors included among the 23: engineering management, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, and systems engineering. So the magazine itself represents our discipline fairly well. But the web site that draws from the magazine is unfortunately incomplete.

IE Colleagues,
This is either a gross oversight or a mega slight on our profession.  This needs to be addressed urgently with ASEE.

Dear CIEADH Colleagues,
If you follow the link egfi-k12.org<http://egfi-k12.org/> mentioned in the article below, you will be appalled to find that industrial engineering is not listed among the FIFTEEN different engineering disciplines. They include agricultural, architectural, manufacturing, and even ocean but no IE.
Perhaps a response to ASEE is in order?
Thanks

ASEE Publishes Newly Expanded Engineering: Go For It!
A press release<http://mailview.custombriefings.com/mailview.aspx?m=2009091101asee&r=2874829-bc56&l=016-b04&t=c> (9/10) reported that "the newly expanded eGFI -- Engineering: Go For It (egfi-K12.org<http://egfi-K12.org/>), a multi-media exploration of engineering for middle and high-school students, has just been published by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)." eGFI includes a magazine that is available both "in print and online [and] opens up the world of engineering with profiles and features on an array of engineering, disciplines, opportunities for discovery, and careers; a regularly updated Website for students; and a Website, blog, and bi-weekly electronic newsletter for math and science teachers." The release noted that "particular emphasis is placed on attracting women and under-represented minorities to engineering," and that "along with the magazine, eGFI provides a video-rich, interactive Website for students that is updated regularly." Another Website geared towards teachers "(teachers.egfi-k12.org<http://teachers.egfi-k12.org/>) shows ways that engineering can bring excitement and challenge to the classroom with lesson plans and activities, many of them standards-based."
