The system enhancesteam development by creating accountability and feedback for team members, suggesting thatteam members and instructors have a positive team learning experience.Capstone Courses – Multi Institutional Collaboration. The previous work by the multi-institutional collaboration identifies the current work done in many capstone courses includingthose factors that are measureable1. Those measurable factors3 are included in CATME, thus theauthors have chosen to use note taking 4, filing 5, goal setting6,7, and other reflective open ended Proceedings of the 2018
into mastery learning,reflective learning, intrinsic motivation, and competency-based education. A competency can bethought of as the integration of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that be observed, and thereforemeasured, by way of a demonstration of learning. This usually takes the form of a combinationof assesments and instruments.

line configurations including bundled conductors and usage of standard conductor data tables for calculation of transmission line parameters are introduced. Transmission line equivalent circuit parameters, voltage, current, active and reactive power variations along the transmission line, π model and its approximations for short, medium and long lines are presented and discussed. 6. Power Flow in Power Systems: One-line diagrams, bus types, Ybus matrix calculations, power balance equations, iterative solutions such as Gauss and Newton Raphson methods along with examples are introduced. 7. Power Transformers: Ideal transformer current voltage relationships, turns ratio, reflected

They all suggested that mechatronics/robotic technology be introduced in itsmechanical engineering technology curricula to reflect the future needs of the industry. A newprogram objective is added to the department’s current Program Educational Objectives whichstates: “students possess multidisciplinary knowledge and skills” before graduation.Robotic concentration will also help students in the MET department’s manufacturingconcentration as most manufacturing equipment such as CNC machines and industrial robots arerobotic

You can start as soon as yougraduate from high school.ExaminationAnother key part of becoming an architect is completing the Architect RegistrationExamination® (ARE®). With exam divisions designed to reflect the current profession,the ARE ensures that you’re ready to practice architecture independently.Licensure and CertificationOnce you’ve met the education, experience, and examination requirements, as well asany additional requirements set by your licensing board, you can apply for a license topractice architecture in your jurisdiction. After you’re licensed, you can advance youcareer and streamline your ability to practice across borders by earning an

The open feedback reflects that overall this type of involvement meets the program’sexpectations. Frustrations expressed largely reflect practical issues (EG scheduling). This suggests that overall ET programs are content with the status quo in the use of theirIABs. Only occasional remarks indicate that some would like to see a greater involvement infundraising. For this to change there would need to be a vision and model developed todemonstrate how the IAB
University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) is a comprehensive academic institutionthat serves a 150-mile region. In Brownsville, only one in ten jobs is related to personal healthcare assistance. According to the Labor Department and Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, thisnumber is the greatest concentration of home health supporters in the country, suggesting fivetimes the average in Texas. These statistics reflect the greatest need for improvement in thehealthcare assistance, opening an innovative research area in smart environments for the elderlyand disabled.The Engineering Technology (ENGT) program at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley(UTRGV), aims to prepare students to be professionals on diverse technology applications,within a

Integrity and creditability are needed for a leader to effectchange. (Dooley, 1999). Diversity and the Impact on P-20 Education P-20 includes principles of diversity and inclusiveness and will apply tools, techniques,and methods that reflect these convictions in their decision making as a P-20 leader. Withindiversity, the goal is to include all individuals and groups wanting to participate in the P-20education development and process. P-20 educators will strive to use creative methods toengage learners. These new education learning methods will lead to an

These efforts were realized via two distinct avenues: (1) theintroduction of five MET projects having significant electromechanical components; and (2) theintroduction of an MET-EET multidisciplinary project. Both types of projects are reviewedwithin this work.2.

technical areas is very low, and thus, companiescan have an in-road into hiring our graduates. In addition, through the projects, companies getinsight into new technologies and process which are used to solve their problems. Thisinteraction is an important part of the NIU Department of Technology operations and we havedeveloped great relationships with many of the regional companies. This avenue between NIUand industry is expanding in the types of projects undertaken and the numbers of companies withwhom we work. Through industry interaction all parties win!References1.

progressive educator John Dewey. John Dewey suggested that theprocess of learning was more important than goals or predetermined learning outcomes. Furtherhe suggested that if learning is to be successful it requires the learner to take an active role in thatprocess 3. John Dewey believed that “reflection involves not simply a sequence of ideas, but aconsequence—a consecutive ordering in such a way determines the next as its proper outcome,while each in turn leans back on its predecessors.” 4Evolution of Online EducationDistance education, defined as a method of delivering education and instruction to students whoare physically separated from the student, is certainly not a new concept.
