-grade components from manufacturers’ catalogs. The practicingautomation engineer needs to be able integrate various components such as gearbox, transmissionelements, motion controller, I/O cards, sensors, control devices and be able to program thecontroller using a high-level language to build an automatic machine.In this paper, we present a senior-level Automation course and its laboratory to address the gap.The novelty of the course is the balanced coverage of industrial practices and theoretical contentusing industrial components, manufacturer data sheets and catalogs. Theoretical calculations forsizing motors, gearboxes and other components are presented. Operating principles of drives andcontrol hardware are explained in detail. This is
process of newly hired employeeslearning the necessary behaviors, attitudes, and required skills and knowledge for achieving arole in an organization [1]-[4]. As its outcomes linked to employee job performance andretention [4]-[6], new employees' proactive or motivated behaviors in the socializationprocess [7]-[9] have been explored and defined by many scholars. According to previousstudies, new employees' proactive behaviors affect short-term outcomes in the socializationprocess, such as better understanding their roles and jobs, mastering the required knowledgeand skills, and getting socially integrated into the workgroup [6], [8], [10]. In addition, theirproactive behaviors also affect long-term outcomes such as job satisfaction and job

, establish goals, plan tasks,and meet objectives.A question pertinent to any engineering educator is, “Where, when and how do we satisfy thisoutcome?” As an example of this, Sangelkar et al [2] surveyed faculty in their mechanicalengineering program to identify teaming experiences throughout their curriculum. They found anumber of courses with collaborative learning experiences, projects staffed by multiple students,and some degree of instruction in teaming, but conclude that the teaming experience in acurriculum can contain significant gaps.One of the challenges of teamworking is finding the time to provide instructor guidance withinthe scheduled classroom time. Some of the key issues to be addressed in teaming instruction arenoted in [3] and [4
Rhino. To lower operatingcosts, and to streamline the use of one software throughout the curriculum a survey wasdeveloped to see what software was being most widely used in industry. The result showed thatSolidWorks was most widely used and was gaining popularity in the markets of our constituents.The decision was quickly made to utilize SolidWorks throughout the curriculum for design andanalysis. This change prompted the university to purchase a larger license agreement which alsoallowed unlimited certification exam vouchers for students and faculty.In 2011, after becoming more confident in the ability of the students’ use of SolidWorks, the firstcertification exams were given. The Certified SolidWorks Associate exam was given as the finalexam
encounter in completing their design project. Troubleshooting skill is an importantand integral part of good engineering practice. This skill represents the ability to identify and fixa problem within an engineered system by strategizing the approach within a time-constrainedsetting. To address this weakness, our group of five Engineering faculty members formed alearning community to devise an initiative to better prepare students for troubleshooting tasks. Itis expected that this should help them not only achieve greater success in their senior designproject, but also better prepare them for the workforce. While several recent studies helpilluminate what types of short-term (within 1 course) interventions may be successful inimproving students
noted, this process can be time consuming and overwhelming.Time is of concern for teachers also because of the pressure they face to deliver effectiveinstruction that facilitates learning. If a lesson does not go well, the time spent on it cannot beregained. Therefore, integrating technology involves an investment of time learning how to do soand comes with the risk that it may not go well; perhaps to the detriment of students in the formof ineffective instruction. These time-related complexities were explained by T13: “I think it's difficult to get that practice with these sorts of things… throughout the school day. You feel kind of pressure to get through everything and then trying to get something that maybe it might not be

. This issue revolves around the differencesbetween face-to-face and the online environment. According to Niess and Gailow-Wiles, thecontent development for online instruction should include collaborative activities, reflectiveactivities, clear assessment criteria, and integration of technology [7]. However, manyinstructors struggle due to a lack of training to adjust materials between the two deliverymethods [4]. For example, just adding a lengthy lecture and a textbook to a learning platformdoes not work well in an online or remote environment. Many institutions do not recognize theneed for this training or provide incentives to properly develop a class for a new delivery method[8].The last major theme related to online delivery is related to
water curricula tomeet industry demands. Therefore, developing water-related courses in Egypt is a must. Development of the finalized undergraduate courses listed in Table 5 is underway byEPU faculty teams with assistance from US university Center collaborators. Initiation of therevised water curriculum throughout the five EPU water programs is scheduled to begin inFall of 2021 with the initiation of prerequisite courses across all EPUs, followed byadditional water engineering courses being introduced in subsequent semesters by select EPUmembers and broadcast to all EPU programs through an online MOODLE LMS. For future research, getting students' perspectives on courses' importance can addadvantages to the adjusted curricula

deliverables that do not address the problem.Design is inherently nonlinear, inefficient, and complex [4], [5]. Students often find thereality of engineering design overwhelming the first time they experience it. They beginundergraduate engineering programs learning science and math through formats steepedin a learning culture that is linear and process-oriented to identify the single answers tocarefully constructed problems. Consequently, students demonstrate significantdiscomfort or reticence when thrust into situations in which they are expected to embracea nonlinear, circuitous process to solve an ill-defined problem. In these circumstancesstudents employ their practiced, linear paradigms and struggle to engage in the requisitework of
Taxonomy to specify desired levels of achievement in the CEPC might be problematic, because the Taxonomy requires the use of measurable, action-oriented verbs. However, ultimately, the CEPCTC determined that the EAC’s concern could be adequately addressed without compromising on the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy simply by changing the introductory clause of the CEPC from “The curriculum must prepare graduates to…” to “The curriculum must include topics necessary to….” The latter phrase was quoted directly from the recently approved EAC Program Criteria for Cybersecurity Engineering [10] which were cited by the EAC Criteria Committee as an example of criteria that satisfied their concern

The guidelines presented in 2Accreditation Criterion 3 address student learning outcomes towards ethical and professionalresponsibilities, although they do not define a framework or goals to achieve this outcome (ABETpg. 5). Thus, engineering programs have both the opportunity and responsibility to define theirown goals towards establishing their ethics curriculum.

, the need for change must be identified. Once identified, a formal introduction to thefundamentals of project management and team culture prior to a capstone experience may berequired. A number of programs have embedded a project management course within itsengineering curriculum to train students before undertaking a capstone project [5,9,11]. So howwell do students embed these skills within their projects? The integration of project and teammanagement can be studied by looking at the direct outcomes of projects and by capturing thestudent feedback on how well they utilized these skills within their projects.In this research, we studied student perceptions of their efforts in managing projects and teams.Two quantitative surveys focused on
presentations, posters, andtechnical reports and are touched upon and developed over many courses throughout anengineering curriculum. An elevator pitch is an additional way to teach students effectivecommunication. Some universities have adopted the "delivering an elevator pitch module"module developed by the University of New Haven-based on the KEEN framework [9] [10] andhave placed it in intro classes, technical classes, or in senior design like the University ofCincinnati [11]. Other universities integrate a pitch competition into a senior design course, likeat Stevens and Calvin College ([12] [1]) or with a business plan competition, like Grove CityCollege [3].The Elevator Pitch Competition before the PandemicThe authors have previously detailed

to shifts in culture and philosophicalapproaches to curriculum and instruction. The changes are often impeded by barriers related tostructural and systemic features within the academic system [4], [8]. From an organizationalperspective, individual barriers are commonly associated with misunderstandings and lack ofcommunication, lack of trust and threats to job status and security [9], [10]. Particularlyconcerning to faculty are changes that affect resources and time [10–12]. Lozano [9] notes thatbarriers are also present at the group and organizational level [10]. The change can be impededby the groups culture and norms, intergroup dynamics and group conflicts. At the organizationallevel, barriers to change can include a lack of strategy

This effort hasproven sustainable during the recent period of online transition of many courses, illustrating oneof the benefits of computational modules. The most recent addition to our set of modules includeda visualization component that was incorporated into our introductory freshman course for thefirst time in Fall 2019. Students can perform this module either using local computer labs, accessthose resources remotely, or via their own computers. In the Fall of 2020
