Welcome to our second edition!

On behalf of the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) at the University of Central Florida (UCF), we are pleased to bring you the second edition of the quarterly, Florida Engineering Education e-Newsletter (FEEN). The  intent of this publication is to share with formal and informal STEM educators, educational administrators, practicing/retired engineers and other interested persons, information on engineering education.  The ultimate success of this publication is dependent on those actively engaged in engineering educators to contribute appropriate content on what you are doing in and outside the classroom via your articles, comments and /or suggestions. With your help, we look forward to making this a most useful publication.
