III. This course is a one lecture hour,three lab hour class and was taught for the first time during the Fall 2019 semester. The lecturecontains topics designed to complement the second engineering physics course onelectromagnetics such as electric fields, magnetic fields, and electric DC and AC circuits as wellas the application of these concepts to real-world engineering problems. In addition, a number ofother topics are addressed including data acquisition, microcontrollers, project management,engineering ethics and art in engineering. The laboratory component is conceptually innovativeand uses a newly developed three-axis positioning and data acquisition system that allowsstudents to automate the sensing and data analysis of electric and

for the changing nature of the job. Perhaps firefighters are prepared for the variety ofproblems in the field, but they do not have the capability to react at the moment and respondappropriately.Simulation (e.g. virtual reality simulation) can provide a safe, ethical, and cost-effectivealternative to practice in certain real fire scenes. This can serve in two ways: it can give a betterunderstanding of new trainees’ behavior and how can be shifted to safe behavior and offertrainees the opportunity to have effective and component training. By using simulations ofvirtual buildings with virtual fire environments, trainees can interact with a changingenvironment simulate various work-related procedures and/or judge whether a building design

understanding of howinformation is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge andparticipating ethically in communities of learning.There are a number of scholarly works that discuss using PBL pedagogies in higher education.Barron, et al (1998) provide a 40-page primer on PBL as a general pedagogical method. Whilenot dealing specifically with engineering courses, it will provide an overview for those new tothe subject. Another article, this one by Smith Macklin (2001), discusses how to integrateinformation literacy into a one-shot course session using PBL. While not aimed specifically atengineering courses the article provides guidance that could be applicable to any subject area.Guerra, Ulseth and Kolmos (2017) edited a

SEEFs shared common motivations ofjoining a career involving instruction motivated by experiences during student teaching roles,and a desire to improve teaching practices. In addition, the SEEF community referred to Barkleyet al.’s handbook [29] on collaborative learning techniques provided a wealth of teachingmethods, along with Godsell’s sourcebook [30] which provided perspective on differentmethods, their implementation and evaluation, among many other sources. However common toall the SEEFs was interpreting the application of these methods to fit their discipline. Forexample, in Computer Science the jigsaw method was used to explore the ethics of human-computer

pedagogies. In additional to traditional hands-on training, extended reality (XR), including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Substitutional Reality, (SR), and Mixed Reality (MR) potentially provide more freedom to cover both theoretical and practical learning, with assistance of other software. The usage of big data technology will also provide large amount of real and well-examined results and experiences to shorten the learning curves. Social impacts of new mechatronic technologies: The new mechatronic systems are changing our life. The social impacts including legal regulations, safeties, privacies, economics, and ethics from these new devices need to be addressed. For example, the introduction of

To realize such goals, especially for the education of Millennials and Generation Z,faculty need to have deeper understanding of “our” students. The characteristics of Generation Zmay include that they are the most diverse generation, grew up with smart devices, demonstratemore current online behaviors, expect modern experience but take tech for granted, are morelikely to try and figure out problems on their own first, etc. [1-5]. Such understanding will enablefaculty to develop more confidence

, generalrecommendations include courses that are tied to the attainment of student outcomes (continuousimprovement criterion), courses that are related to meeting curricular requirements such asprofessional and ethical responsibilities (curricular criteria), and courses that demonstratecompliance with discipline-specific expectations (program criteria). Thus, it is likely you willneed to provide samples of student work related to assessment performance indicators (sorted bystudent outcome) as well as samples of student work that document inclusion of discipline-specific topics (sorted by course). Most accreditation bodies do not have requirementsassociated with the format of student work samples (electronic versus paper). However, carefulorganization is

The offerings from 2013 through 2018 were made without anyconsideration for the use of OER, using only traditional materials. There is some minor variationin performance from year to year for these offerings. It was mentioned in the “Background”section that several variables, which are difficult to control, may have led to these variations.Among them are size of the class, institution, and timing aspects (e.g. day vs. night, one longweekly session vs. two
