Therefore,transitioning to technological pedagogy that integrates different engagement activities supportsteaching vital skills to future workforces.The revolution of technology has brought paradigm shift in the way instructors teach andstudents learn in STEM through technology specifically VR [7]. VR is an emerging technologythat enables learners to immerse into different built environments by observing three-dimensional (3D) model [8]. Research has been supporting informal and immersive learningenvironments due to their effective educational impacts [9, 10]. Haptic learning is one solutionto advance learners’ understanding through physical interactions [11]. However there remains agap in the educational implementations that

[3], an inquiry based approach to learning is generally taken aslearning by exploring a question, issue or problem. Connected knowledge applied to multiplediscipline related activities provides better frameworks for students to learn and developconceptual understandings [4]. In a transdisciplinary approach, discussed in detail in [5],learners are required to think across and beyond academic disciplines to incorporate knowledgethat can be shared and implemented into design. Learning environments that focus on design andproblem solving can engage and help students learn core STEM concepts while connectingscience and

However, a seminal work by Hunteret al. states that undergraduate research is “a powerful affective, behavioral, and personaldiscovery experience” that contributes not only to career direction but also to upcomingprofessional development [24].

The Kern Entrepreneurial EngineeringNetwork (KEEN) model suggests that venture creation is just one potential aspect of successfulentrepreneurship education, and that the development of an ‘entrepreneurial mindset’, in whicheducators work to foster creativity and opportunity identification, results in graduates that arebetter prepared to solve meaningful problems within existing workplaces, in addition to startingnew ventures to address challenges [7], [8].A more recent review by Nabi, Liñan, Fayolle, Krueger, and Walmsley [9
Engineering Education, 2019 Evaluating the Impact of Ethics Instruction on Student AwarenessAbstractEngineers must frequently make decisions during their careers without understanding orknowing the full set of consequences. These decisions can have unintended or harmful results.Therefore, it is imperative that engineers consider the ethical dimensions of their decisions whileworking to satisfy their employer’s interests even if these decisions conflict with theirorganization’s objectives or their own goals. Engineers have a responsibility to uphold a level ofethical standards that produces trust in not only their organization but also in their profession.Students entering the workforce must reflect the same level of ethical standards

Teachers interacting with the PLMS have indicated that “[it] provided[teachers] with new ideas and ways to teach science content”, and that it “offered…studentsexposure to more career and real-life applications.” One teacher said that, with the PLMS,“students are learning about science through interaction on multiple levels, not just listening andtaking notes”. Another teacher spoke to the value of the PLMS to engage students in immersiveself-directed learning.Drawing from the success of the current PLMS, the physics related content is expanding andconcurrently being

and flushed” after the exam (Bella 2003).There’s a time and place for number crunching, detailed design calculations, and utilizing designaids. Students will encounter many different problems in their career, but a few design courses incollege certainly cannot expose students to every scenario, much less effectively teach them howto solve each problem. Further, the purpose of our design courses should not be to simply “teachthe code” (Hines 2012). This is sure to reinforce the impression that design is cranking throughequations and picking sizes from tables - a practice that can limit creativity. “The creative structural engineer must be able to anticipate how a structure responds to applied loads and other external influences

CurriculumA predominantly 'computer-centered pedagogy' can create issues related to reduced communicationand teamwork during classes. This paper explains a team-based collaborative learning exercisesuccessfully implemented in computer graphics technology (CGT) courses in a Midwestern university.Based on the data compiled and analyzed from final exam and quiz results from the modeling andanimation courses taught over the past several years, poor performance in the required CGT coursesalso affects the performance in higher-level courses. Sophomores and junior CGT majors struggle withtechnical graphics concepts and jargon. This affects their performance in advanced CGT courses(causing retention issues) and also affects their career prospects.The ability

We do control and we can use assessment to maintain anexpected level of performance for our own science and engineering students.Raising the bar in this way late in a student’s career is sometimes painful, as it revealsweaknesses that were carefully hidden for a long time. If we are steadfast, then word of theseexpectations may eventually trickle down to those courses that support the core science andengineering curricula.This discussion on accuracy would not be

To facilitate this idea, engineering programs at York College of Pennsylvania offer acommon first semester, where all engineering students (and some undeclared students curiousabout engineering) take a design-based engineering course, Engineering Practices and DesignStudio (EPADS), along with other common courses. This design course consists of two modules:an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) module; and a Mechanical and Civil Engineering(MCE) module. Students spend seven weeks working on each module, exploring basic conceptsin each discipline. In the MCE module, students work with Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools,basic hand tools, and machine tools in a machine

There are thousands of manufacturers in the citythat have trouble finding qualified employees, which makes programs in high schools and middleschools that can teach how to work on the equipment for modern manufacturing as well as howthat equipment produces the products.Presentation #6Title: So......What Does
