However, in the light of an increasing demand and a declining pool from which toselect, employers often indicate there is an unmet need for graduates with the technical andcomplex thinking skills necessary for careers in the design, application, installation, operation,maintenance and security of computer and/or network systems to support industry. Whilestudents who earn a two-year technical degree such as an Associates of Applied Sciences (AAS)in computer or information technology can meet some of these industry needs and can betechnically competent, they do not have the

For example, many related studies were testing or creating a tool used to evaluate a class'sability to teach with one or more of the domains, versus testing how to better teach one or all ofthe domains or discover how students learn with each domain [8-13]. One of these studies createda teaching template for schools so they are more aware of what engineering students should learnduring their capstone

Cutting Edge Education a. Improve the student/faculty ratio to at most 15/1 in every school, which will require increasing the faculty by 40-50%. b. Increase project-based, multidisciplinary educational opportunities. c. Increase our focus on technology-based learning to enable educational innovation. d. Improve the educational infrastructure.2.

Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Connecting Machine Design Concepts via an Undergraduate Forensic Engineering ActivityAbstractA typical Machine Design course covers a myriad of mechanical elements, each with a broad setof concepts, analytical methods, and best practices—which only become more complex whenassembled into an operational mechanical system. Often, the class becomes compartmentalizedto focus on one mechanical element at a time. While initially effective, allowing students totarget their efforts and study habits, it can be detrimental if no strong connections are builtbetween the different learning modules at the end of the class.This paper presents a case-study of a unique and highly engaging

The common theme for the course was an engineering designproject to reconnaissance, research, and design modifications for an undeveloped site for aspecific use. This design project was taken from a variety of future building projects theacademy is currently investigating. In order to design the site, knowledge was required in avariety of the major topics listed in Table 1. Table 3

Civil engineering is a relativelypeople-oriented field to begin with, but ASDSO interacts with the public in nearly every aspectof dam construction, design, maintenance, and decommission.”Another noted, “As a student I was still unsure of my plans after graduation, but after attendingthe conference I felt that dam safety was the correct path for me.

It is important torecognize that the energy E&P operations are a special kind of operations that largely follow manufacturingprinciples and best practices. Further, out of 1.3 million expected new oil and gas jobs by 2020, Kimrey 6suggests that there will be high demand for such skillset as project controls, drafting and design, 1  procurement, project administrators, and data management due to the recent boom in oil and gas E&Ptechnology. Given this rapidly rising skills gap, there is a strong need for a structured and adaptive learningenvironment in high value manufacturing focused on the energy industry. Texas is
