IntroductionThe available funding for manufacturing research and national strategic directions have inspiredresearchers and produced a surge in manufacturing education and research among educationalinstitutes including high schools, community colleges, vocational training centers, anduniversities. Although there are more students interested in manufacturing, some institutes haveto balance between the steep increment of student enrollment and available resources. Aproportional increasing of resource to the student population growth would solve the problem ifthere is unlimited resource; however, when resource is limited then creative ideas are sought tomodify the current teaching practice for
undergraduate and graduate levels. His tremendous re- search experience in manufacturing includes environmentally conscious manufacturing, Internet based robotics, and Web based quality. In the past years, he has been involved in sustainable manufacturing for maximizing energy and material recovery while minimizing environmental impact. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Interdisciplinary Senior Design Project to Develop a Teaching Tool: Extruder Tutor Plastic InjectionMolding MachineIn recent years there has been a big push to get students into the STEM fields. However, what seems to be lackingin this academic push is the hands on side of it. Engineering simply just isn’t about equations, but
, teaching science at elementary through graduate level, developing formative as- sessment instruments, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in science and science education, working with high-risk youth in alternative education centers, working in science museums, designing and facilitating online courses, multimedia curriculum development, and leading and researching profes- sional learning for educators. The Association for the Education of Teachers of Science (AETS) honored Dr. Spiegel for his efforts in teacher education with the Innovation in Teaching Science Teachers award (1997). Dr. Spiegel’s current efforts focus on educational reform and in the innovation of teaching and learning resources and
thatincorporate coursework and/or peer mentorship should increase transfer student engagement andretention.Programs to introduce students to the research process and community do exist at public researchuniversities [13], but there currently is not a best-practices method established, or verifiedtransferable models, for getting large numbers of students (hundreds per year) into researchactivities, beyond one-on-one mentoring (of the sort referred to as “A Mentor for Every Student”in the Boyer report). This is not a viable solution to significantly increase our pipeline ofstudents entering STEM research careers. We do not mean to discount one-on-one mentoring andfeel that indeed, this is probably one of the most high-impact transformative learning
this study is a viable pathway toestablish a profitable business for any STEM graduate.10.

research experience as part ofan undergraduate engineering education. Every engineering curriculum includes a culminatingevent, usually a senior design project. Most curricula include some opportunity for independentor small group research, even if it is only limited to a literature review on a specific topic.Another research opportunity available to most undergraduate engineering students is anindependent study course. Research is also an important experience for undergraduate studentsconsidering going on to graduate school.There is a great deal of literature describing the value of undergraduate research, especially forscience and engineering students.

The video alsohighlights the importance of teamwork throughout the design process and the need to worktogether and collaborate to have a successful design. The goal of this video is to give thestudents an idea of what engineers are like, the opportunities that are available for engineers andhow each student can prepare to become an engineer. The second video entitled "The InvisibleMedical Team" introduces the students to the field of medical laboratory scientist. Medicallaboratory scientists do much of the background research and perform tests to diagnose patientsthat the doctors then use to design a treatment for the patient. This

IntroductionEntrepreneurshipLawrence Technological University (LTU) has offered engineering students entrepreneurialeducation programs for many years. Recognizing that graduates entering industry will requirebusiness and entrepreneurial skills, the College of Engineering developed an entrepreneurialcertificate program and founded the Lear Entrepreneurial Center. The entrepreneurial certificateprogram develops student skills in
training. We leaned upon the expertise of on-campus resources including the Center forInclusion and Diversity (CCID) [28] and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach(CTLO) [29] to develop best practices for both the speaker and facilitator sides of the project.Our facilitator search consisted of independent research that we conducted to find speakers at ourinstitution and other schools with relevant expertise, as well as a survey sent to the departmentsoliciting speaker suggestions. The latter effort did not yield many recommendations and most ofthe speakers came from our research. We primarily found speakers based on their published workor lectures we found online, but other approaches included making use of our school’s alumninetwork and

(3) What best practices emerge from a QM-based dashboard tool coupled with Swivl-capture technology?Prior to the pandemic, a need for QM-based capture tool was already forming. As The Citadelwas moving some courses and graduate programs online, even before the pandemic, programdirectors and institutional audits noted a disparity in online course delivery. A large number ofstudents taking certain online classes during the summer were failing or withdrawing. In many ofthese courses, the instructor had very little online presence, was communicating solely by emailwith the students and vice-versa, and providing no or very
