’ fast adoption of innovative and available new technologies. Agrowing concern for engineering instructors and among college writing instructors is that ofArtificial Intelligence (AI) being widely available to students. Although these technologies arenot a main topic of the work presented here, they can potentially impact the teaching of technicalwriting and the assessment of student outcomes, as well as engineering teaching in general. AI asa tool for text development and even to produce numerical solutions to textbook-type problems isknown and is getting more powerful. But it is not clear how capable AI is of correctly handlinggraphical information and integrating it with text. Therefore, its use by students to generatetechnical reports could

, from problem identification toprototype presentation.IntroductionA key part of the journey of any engineering student is their engagement in the engineeringdesign process (EDP). Recognized as essential for students to develop their critical thinking andproblem-solving skills, the EDP equips students with tools to identify needs and conceptualizesolutions. The accreditation board for engineering and technology, ABET, defines EDP as theprocess of “devising a system to meet desired needs and specifications within constraints” [1].All students in ABET accredited programs are required to engage in a “major engineering designexperience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and2) is based on the knowledge

Activities in Electromagnetics Courses at Other InstitutionsThe electrical-engineering curricula at many research-oriented universities favor EM courseswhich are heavy in theory; most hands-on lab activities do not fit within the scope or the timeavailable [1]. Electromagnetic experiments are usually reserved for graduate courses,specialized in high-frequency circuit analysis and/or wireless technologies. Some schools offeradvanced-EM courses as electives; there, circuit design software can be used to draw andsimulate EM structures (e.g. microstrip circuits). Schools equipped with a milling machine canexport those drawings and etch radio-frequency (RF) and millimeter-wave designs (e.g.amplifiers, couplers) [2]. In a dedicated lab course, students

vital role in the automation of manufacturingprocesses. CAM software works with CAD software to convert a 3D model into a set ofinstructions that a machine can use to manufacture a product. CAM software has many benefits,ranging from increased manufacturing efficiency to improved quality control. As Nikolov andPanayotov [12] describe, CAM systems are critical in generating optimal technological strategiesfor machining mold elements using CNC machines. In addition to integrating CAM and otherdigital tools in the engineering design process, CAM software can integrate with additivemanufacturing to further enhance the manufacturing process and increase production efficiency.Feldhausen et al.
