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

Elsayed:
Thank you for pointing out some very important statistics that were published by ASEE itself very recently.  A recent survey may deserve some attention also.
Industrial Engineering and Systems Engineering are the 8th and 9th most lucrative college degrees, respectively, on a list of 15.  
On July 24, 2009, Yahoo Finance published an article provided by CNN Money.com about the most lucrative college degrees (across ALL undergraduate disciplines, not just engineering and science).  The article cited a recent survey conducted by National Association of Colleges and Employers and listed 15 top-earning college degrees. Details can be found at
http://finance.yahoo.com/college-education/article/107402/most-lucrative-college-degrees.html?mod=edu-collegeprep 
The average starting salary of an IE ($58,358) is virtually the same as that of a mechanical engineer ($58,766).
It is somewhat amusing that IE makes to a list of 15 across ALL college disciplines but not an ASEE list of 15 about engineering.
Thanks,
Jacob

Greetings 

Lary and Deji ... 
We can easily correct this.   I believe that several of us should send email to the contact person to make the correction.  Here what I sent: 

It seems  that you inadvertently overlooked one of the five  largest engineering disciplines: industrial engineering.  Please check ASEE magazine recent issues for the number of BS and graduate degrees awarded in Industrial Engineering.  Please make  the proper correction. 

Thank you

Hi Deji, 
As you know, the IIE Board is preparing a response to ASEE. Let's not alienate them with a flurry of angry responses. 
For clarification, in case any of our colleagues feel they must respond, please note that: 
Just to clarify.... 
There is no mention of IE on the individual "cards" on their intro home page at http://egfi-k12.org/ 
The RHS sidebar that lists 15 engineering disciplines at the bottom if you take the engineer your path link to  http://egfi-k12.org/engineer-your-path/ also has no mention of IT 
In the magazine when they expand to listing 23 disciplines they do include a gratuitous mention of IE. That's it! 
Thanks

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 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

Begin forwarded message: 

ASEE Publishes Newly Expanded Engineering: Go For It! 

A press release (9/10) reported that "the newly expanded eGFI -- Engineering: Go For It ( 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 ) shows ways that engineering can bring excitement and challenge to the classroom with lesson plans and activities, many of them standards-based."
