About: Alice M. Agogino is the Roscoe and Elizabeth Hughes Professor of Mechanical Engineering and is affiliated faculty at the Haas School of Business in their Operations and Information Technology Management Group. Her research interests include: community-based design; sustainable engineering; intelligent learning systems; information retrieval and data mining; multiobjective and strategic product design; nonlinear optimization; probabilistic modeling; intelligent control and manufacturing; sensor validation, fusion and diagnostics; wireless sensor networks; multimedia and computer-aided design; design databases; design theory and methods; MEMS/NEMS synthesis and computer-aided design; artificial intelligence and decision and expert systems; and gender/ethnic equity. She has served in a number of administrative positions at UC Berkeley, including Chair of the Faculty Senate, Associate Dean of Engineering and Faculty Assistant to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost in Educational Development and Technology. Prof. Agogino also served as Director for Synthesis, an NSF-sponsored coalition of eight universities with the goal of reforming undergraduate engineering education, and continues as PI for the NEEDS (www.needs.org) and SMETE.ORG digital libraries of courseware in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. Prof. Agogino received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New Mexico (1975), M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering (1978) from the University of California at Berkeley and Ph.D. from the Department of Engineering-Economic Systems at Stanford University (1984). Prior to joining the faculty at UC Berkeley, she worked in industry for Dow Chemical, General Electric and SRI International. She has authored over 150 scholarly publications; has won numerous teaching, best paper and research awards; and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). At NAE she served on the Committee on Engineering Education, working on the Technologically Speaking and the Engineer 2020 projects. She is currently a member of the National Research Council's Board on Education and the Women in Academic Science Engineering Committee. She has supervised 66 MS projects/theses, 26 doctoral dissertations and numerous undergraduate researchers.See Authors Posts (372)

The Engineering Pathway has initiated a photo competition to highlight image thumbnails of its cataloged resources. The main K-Gray pages will use these highlighted resources and their images in a banner near the top of the page — a K-12 resource will be highlighted on the left and a higher education resource on the right. A technology image will be in the middle. Some mockups of possible redesigns of these pages are at: http://epredesign.begins-here.com/. Note you can view the different mockups using the left navigation menu.

The higher education Disciplinary Community pages will have two of these images at the top — one action image of people in the discipline and one technology image. The top candidates from the competition in each category are shown above.

We would love to hear from you! Please go through the list below for the area that interests you and use comment space below (or on the specific disciplinary or K-12 page) to vote and give us your comments on your favorites. Feel free to contribute other candidates as well.

    [...] pleased to announce new concepts for the redesign of the Engineering Pathway community site. The image feedback blog was released earlier. We are now releasing the blog for logo concepts, as well as layout redesign [...]

    My favorite K-12 Engineering picture is the FIRST robot competition; it’s exciting
    the best engineers in action is design at Stanford (boo stanford) because of the large collaboration going on
    and the best technology thumbnails (and my favorite overall) are (1st) the city of the future and (2nd) virtual reality in manufacturing because they are very captivating
    hope this helps

    K-12: the FIRST picture (meaning the third, with the robot competition)

    Engineers in Action: the floating people

    Technology: the City of the Future (first one)

  • 4 Vou Quien Luy // May 9, 2008 at 5:08 pm

    K-12 Engineering Thumbnails: FIRST PICTURE – cute girls. very diverse and inclusive as well

    Engineers in Action Thumbnails: FIRST PICTURE – it’s the only decent looking picture……..

    Engineers in Action Thumbnails: SECOND PICTURE – definitely the coolest looking

  • 5 Dominic Beard // May 9, 2008 at 5:52 pm

    K-12 I would go with the robotics team. It looks the most dynamic.

    The free fall floating picture is the best of the second category in my opinion. I agree with what Vou Quien Luy says.

    Third category: second picture, for the same reasons as given by Vou.

  • 6 Terry Liu // May 9, 2008 at 7:56 pm

    I like the one of the zero gravity environment just because its not every day that you see that. Virtual Reality in engineering is a good one too, because you can’t really tell what’s going on yet it looks cool. That made me interested enough to take a closer look, so I guess it will work on others.

  • 7 Che Liu // May 9, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    I would say that the second picture is best for K-12 since they look very involved, and seem to be having a lot of fun.

    The one with the free-fall astronauts is the best for engineers in action because nothing is more exciting than being in space!

    For the technology, both the first and second pictures are good, I dislike the plane and racer since they’re too commonplace.

  • 8 Alex Trahan // May 10, 2008 at 9:19 pm

    k-12: First Robotics Competition (3rd)
    -It’s the most exciting and engaging

    engineers in action: zero-gravity (1st)
    -It’s the most appealing. who doesn’t want to float in zero-gravity?

    technology: 3d computing (2nd)
    -clearly involves a real person and looks cool
