of using applied engineering in theirname.Today, there is compelling evidence from an industry perspective that B.S. programs inengineering technology are, in fact, the manifestation of the “applied” pathway to engineering13.In 2010, the Engineering Technology Council (ETC) of ASEE surveyed 200 companies in USAto investigate the difference, if any, between engineering and engineering technology graduates.The results showed that 7 out 10 employers make no distinction between the two groups inassigning functions and responsibilities13. The employers also see little difference in on-the-jobcapabilities or job advancement between the two groups. The majority of these companies assignthe title of “engineer” to either graduate. The use of applied
providing students with anintroduction to time domain (transient) analysis of R, L, C elements and energy storage ininductive and capacitive circuits. The response of source-free RL, RC, and RLC circuits aredeveloped followed by response to constant voltage and current sources. Both courses arelecture-laboratory integrated. The objective of this hands-on lecture/laboratory courses is tointroduce Engineering Technology students to fundamentals of DC and AC circuit analysis.Students will also be introduced to a set of experiments that support the principles learned duringthe lectures. Special attention is given to testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting of ACcircuits used in industrial applications. Another goal is to enhance the students
structures and the basics of MATLAB. Recent assessment results have shown that with thelayout of training modules before taking the capstone project, the fear of BMET studentstaking the capstone projects is not only eliminated but has also built up their confidence andimproved the quality and creativity of their projects. With proper conditioning and judicious courseselection, students will become more motivated and will help reinforce the best practices inimplementing9 capstone senior projects.Bibliography1.

Two factors(Closed-mindedness and Discomfort with Ambiguity) were used to measure a participant’s needfor cognitive closure (Webster & Kruglanski, 1994). The other four factors were used to probe aparticipant’s epistemic beliefs in engineering (Ferguson & Braten, 2013; Greene et al., 2010; Yu& Strobel, 2012). Table 1

prime breeding ground for threshold concepts.48Considering the course's characteristics, Scott and Harlow49,50 postulated the existence of severalthreshold concepts within the experience: Thevenin's Theorem, dynamic resistance/linearapproximation, phasors (including reactive power), feedback, and dependent sources. Consideringthe assertion that phasors and reactive power are proposed threshold concepts, it is perhapssurprising to see the lack of focus in work on alternating current (AC); rather, Carstensen &Bernhard19 contend that authors are focused primarily on direct current (DC). Compared to anexisting Electronics Concept Inventory,51 the authors concluded that their identification of thethreshold concepts aligned well except for
“substantialdifferences in the use of self-explanation” between the two groups (Litzinger et al., 2010, p.337). In another study, a small sample of students solving engineering statics problems showedan improved understanding of the problems (measured by verbal and written protocols) after anintervention featuring metacognitive instruction (Steif, Lobue, & Kara, 2010). And,metacognitive instruction has shown student gains in problem solving and design skills in severalother studies (Hanson & Brophy, 2009; Koretsky & Kelly, 2011; Krause, Kelly, & Baker, 2012;Newell, 2004; Pappas, 2009; Zheng, Shih, & Mo, 2009; Zheng & Yin, 2012).Why are Metacognition and Life- Long Learning Important in the EngineeringWorkplace?Several studies have shown
