aftertaking the course.• “In your opinion, which engineering discipline (EE or ME) is more relevant to the study of microelectronics?” Perception of the discipline more relevant to the field of microelectronics was surveyed before and after the semester, with the intention to assess the effectiveness in demonstrating interdisciplinarity. Students were asked to choose the relevant discipline(s) as they perceived. The number of votes were separated into the three groups, which were normalized by the group size, and the resulting “relevance perspectives” are shown in percentage. Figure 3 summarizes the results from the beginning of the semester. Overall, majority (~67%) of the class perceived the industry as more relevant to EE

For the “Minute Paper” theinstructor takes a few minutes at the end of class for students to answer two questions, generallywhat they learned and what question(s) remains unanswered. After reviewing student comments,the instructor can address the most common comments in the next class as well as quickly assessa student's learning and understanding [8]. Eliciting information from students on the topic that ismost confusing, or the “muddiest point”, has been applied for years in many different classroomsincluding General Chemistry [8], [9], [10].

One goal behind such a grade distribution is to make students take seriously theday-to-day work of reading, writing, practicing, discussing, and problem-solving.Creating assignmentsTo create a pre-class reading assignment, the instructor directs students to reading materialassociated with the topic(s) to be addressed in class. In addition, they require students to answer,in writing, a handful of reading questions that ask them to think more deeply about what theyhave read. Students must submit their answers to the reading questions at least one day beforethe start of class. The instructor may also wish to have students write down

Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Educating Civil Engineering TechnologistsIntroduction Civil engineering work has evolved to encompass the distinctive roles and competencies of professional engineers, technologists and technicians. A civil engineering technologist is a specialist trained to work in one or more technical areas within the civil engineering field. Engineering technologists often work under professional engineers, yet they are expected to demonstrate competency for completion of independent activities within their particular area(s) of specialty. In many cases, civil engineering technologists acquire unique skills and knowledge that complement those of a professional engineer. In contrast, civil

, consider the following instruction in ARM assembler:subs r0, r2, #3The purpose of the above instruction is to subtract the number 3 from register r2, storing theresult in register r0. Since that is the main point of the instruction, students usually can learn thatmuch. However, there are actually three things happening during the one instruction:1. Subtraction of the value.2. The CPU must move on to read the next instruction3. The CPU compares the result against zero because the operation has an s appended (set flags)The fact that an instruction has one primary function, and two more ancillary actions isintrinsically difficult. Many students simply miss one or both of the ancillary actions, despitehaving heard the professor review this multiple

rather than use theentire course textbook. Erbe suggests that student created note sheets can “reduce examinationanxiety while increasing learning, particularly in courses that assess on the first three levels ofBloom’s taxonomy” [6, 7]. Raadt found statistical significance that “[s]tudents with cheat-sheetsperformed, on average, higher” and “students without cheat-sheets performed worse” to indicate“that the preparation and use of student created cheat-sheets does have an impact on studentperformance” [4]. Researchers make various arguments against student-generated note sheets,including Rehfuss who is concerned “that pre-supplied note sheets detract from conceptualthinking and discourage studying.” To address Rehfuss’ concern, Cone advocates

since the 1950’s and developed in response to engineering programs becoming more andmore theoretical in nature [3-4]. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has acontinuum model demonstrating the overlap in an engineering education as opposed to anengineering technology one [3]. An engineer’s education resides more on the analysis side of thecontinuum, and engineering technology on the production. The middle area shared by bothdisciplines are the activities associated with design and development. Therefore, the roles of anengineer and engineering technologist can overlap. Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET)has different forms across the United States. At New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT),MET is a focused program for
