significant departure from the traditionalapproaches to engineering education and requires engaging learners in the kind of collaborativeknowledge work that is needed to solve complex problems. Knowledge building is aninstructional approach designed to meet this need.Knowledge building, as developed by Bereiter and Scardamalia, has been written aboutextensively, has formed the basis for considerable research, has been the conceptual focus of aninternational educational research community, and has led to the development of a web-basedtool (Knowledge Forum) designed to facilitate sustained discourse6-11. Although knowledgebuilding is being used around the world to prepare graduates to succeed in the knowledgeeconomy, its potential for reforming

Throughobservations of expert instructors, and a review of literature, the authors identified six Tablet PCinstructional strategies that can be employed to create structured Tablet PC use within atechnology-infused classroom. Those strategies are 1) digital ink, 2) distributing instructor-generated content, 3) collecting student-generated content, 4) blacking out the projector, 5)polling questions, and 6) instructor screen broadcast. Student interviews, instructor experiences,and a preliminary student survey were used to

This paperestablishes the need for teaching social media literacy at the college level, as part ofpreparing students for entering the job market. It discusses the impact of onlineinformation on employment, and presents original research data collected fromtechnology and engineering undergraduate students about their online identitymanagement practices. The paper argues for the need to teach students social medialiteracy and proposes a specific plan for online identity management that can be easilyintegrated into undergraduate curricula.The use of online

National Research Council3 criticized undergraduate engineering curricula for notreflecting the shifting needs of the engineering profession by saying that these curricula are“lacking the essential interdisciplinary character of modern design practice” (p. 4). As a result,NRC claimed, engineering graduates are poorly prepared to utilize “scientific, mathematical, andanalytical knowledge in the design of high-quality components, processes, and systems”. TheABET Engineering Criteria (earlier called Engineering Criteria 2000) reinforce theseperspectives as has the National Science Foundation in the last decade.4Curricular reform efforts have focused on developing new paradigms for engineering education,including an emphasis on active student learning

The criticisms of Noonan and Coral for online programsassume asynchronous online classes. This format is necessary when students are enrolledoverseas, such as active duty military or foreign nationals. However, not all online programs aredesigned without a real-time discussion.

undergraduate physics nationwidefalls below the need for it as judged by physics instructors themselves. This situation has apotentially greater impact upon engineering than on physics in as much as computation plays amore prominent role in engineering than it does in current physics professional practices. Inaddition, it is arguable that the ways in which engineers use computation are considerablydifferent, not only in practice but also in concept, from those of physicists. It follows thatengineering stands to gain from a greater presence of computation in physics curricula, but onlyone thoughtfully designed by a dialogue between both these communities.The analyses and conclusions in this paper are based on the perspective of an experimentalphysicist

In this class, the students are assumed tolearn the applications of popular sensors and actuators and study wireless communication devicesand protocols. Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly. The educational aim specializes in robotics technology toprepare for career-based classes and laboratories

little or nointegration or collaboration between the disciplines. Often the first time that students from eachAEC discipline are exposed to working with design team members from other disciplines is inthe workplace after graduation. It is important for graduates to have an understanding of the rolesplayed by other construction professionals and the impact that their design decisions have onprojects overall. However, the isolated manner in which they are currently educated does notprovide this understanding.There has been a resistance in the past among educators to providing training in computertechnologies in Universities. Some argue that it is not the university‟s role to produce “CADtechnicians” and that there is no educational value in using
