is the next step for the year 2017 research forthis program that will take place at the second semester of the year. In fact the results will beknown in the beginning of year 2018. The goal is to refine the program advertisement as well asto provide an input of what really has been working well and the flaws.AcknowledgmentThis work is financed by FEDER funds through the Competitivity Factors OperationalProgramme – COMPETE: POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007043 and by national funds through FCT –Foundation for Science and Technology within the scope of the project POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007136 and project UID/CEC/00319/2013.References[1] Knowles, Malcolm S., Elwood F.

,students must work in teams and complete a capstone and design project. This project, alsocalled senior project in our terminology, provides students with an opportunity to work oncomplex control problems, similar to ones encountered in industry, and employ a number oftechnologies and methods to provide a practical solution.In general, the senior project entails the design and construction of a process, identification of keycontrol objectives, specification and installation of required instrumentation for process variable(s)monitoring and control, real time data acquisition, process modeling using empirical and/oranalytical methods, design and tuning of controllers, and closed loop control performanceevaluation.

, because I had a partner for the quiz. The feeling of letting down my teammate is unbearable to me. Unfortunately, I’ve found that, on occasion, my teammate did not have the same thought process as I did. The last comment above, and those immediately below, show many students found working with a partner motivated them to prepare as well as they could for the quizzes. In my case, i felt more of a responsibility to do well on the quizzes, because it was not only my grade being affected, but someone else’s grade as well I believe that the quizzes helped motivate me to work the practice problems because when taking a small group quiz you have to be able to help your partner(s).

two universities created a major strategic partnershipagreement in 2005 to jointly establish an institute called UM-SJTU Joint Institute (JI) which is acollege of SJTU located on its main campus in China. The JI offers a Mechanical Engineering(ME) program and an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program. Upon the officialapproval by the Ministry of Education of China, the institute was publically launched in April2006 in Shanghai. Its first cohort of undergraduate students entered in September 2006. Atestablishment of the JI, it has been designated a pilot for China’s higher education reform andshouldered the task of experimenting various aspects of the US higher educational system andfinding a working model(s) that can be exploited

Using incentives to encourageyoung faculty to increase their commitment to teaching may help, but continuing tohire new faculty whose primary emphasis and interests is in research, inevitably doesreinforce existing cultural norms that favor research over teaching.Facilitate and Support Faculty in Acquiring Relevant Practical Experience:Encourage faculty members, particularly the young, to get involved with the practicein their locale, and devise equitable system(s) that allow faculty to gain theengineering experience they desperately need, in order to keep up with newdevelopments in their areas of specialization.

Engineering self-efficacy is emerging as a usefultheory in evaluating the confidence of students to pursue engineering related professions and theconfidence of teachers to teach engineering related content. In particular, Faber et al. [5] andYoon et al. [18] developed the Student Attitudes toward STEM (S-STEM) survey and TeachingEngineering Self-Efficacy Scale (TESS) survey, respectively. Such surveys used in conjunctionwith outreach activities may help allocate time and resources to more influential activities.

opportunities.IntroductionMost universities use a capstone senior design course(s) to address ABET’s General Criterion 5which states “students must be prepared for engineering practice through a curriculumculminating in a major design experience” [1]. These programs likely use the capstone course(s)to assess at least some combination of ABET Student Outcomes 3b (design and conductexperiments, analyze and interpret data), 3d (function on multidisciplinary teams), 3e (identify,formulate, and solve engineering problems), and 3g (communicate effectively) [1]. In theory,the benefits students gain through exposure to such an experience and the advantages facultyhave in using the experience for assessment are substantial and well-documented. However,students who have never

When combined with an in-depth understanding of the structure, the creation processbecomes more precise. Furthermore, this program is currently the industry standard, much likeAutoCAD was when it arose in the 1980’s; it has become the design standard and a larger part ofthe Building Information Modeling (BIM) movement within the construction industry and so ifany adjustments had to be made to the actual building, multiple firms could use the files toinform the changes. This also allows for the opportunity to test certain conditions, such as anychanges to be made and determine their impacts within the software prior to construction.Finally, Revit
