Acceptance questions, 30% of students indicated that the Beagleboard-xM wasmuch more or more accepted than the DSK board, while 54% felt that it was as good or thesame, and 19% perceived the Beagleboard-xM to be less acceptable than the DSK board.In questions about the “Relationship to Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology (ABET)Student Outcomes,” the mean Likert scale score is M = 3.35 with a SD = 0.65. The alphareliability coefficient of 0.7603 indicates that even this small set of data (3 questions) is notrandom. The p-value of 0.4256 is quite large and thus does not allow the rejection of the null-hypothesis—namely, there was no change in relation to ABET criteria as a result of introducing

The Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineering Education(LITEE) team at Auburn University obtained funding from the NSF and, working with industrialpartners, has developed award winning multimedia case studies to address these expectations.These case studies make it possible for students to visualize the problem posed in the case studyand work in teams as they play the roles of concerned engineers and managers. In classpresentations, students present solutions to the problem and defend them. Evaluation data showsthat implementing LITEE case studies in classrooms improves the higher-level cognitive skills ofstudents, stimulates

Outcomes for Undergraduate Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Western Michigan UniversityAbstractStarting with the award of its first scholarships for the Fall 2010 semester, the goal of the S-STEM Scholars program at Western Michigan University has been to increase opportunities andimprove outcomes for financially needy but academically talented students and to involveundergraduate students enrolled in engineering, technology, or applied sciences majors. Theprogram has worked with first-time, first-year students and supports them as they progress intheir academic careers. Each scholarship awarded is roughly equal to one semester of tuition peracademic year for a full-time undergraduate student, and can be

This finding is reinforced by the results from theteam collaboration survey.Qualitative ResultsQualitative results revealed that students developed greater level of self-efficacy related to thecourse subject, engineering design, and people skills through their project experiences. Table3 categorized the qualitative findings derived from interviews and open-ended questions insurveys. Overall, students indicated a high level of interest and engagement, and they reportedlearning multiple skills such as research, communication, design, technology (OPNET), andpeople skills.

The overall object of the virtual lab is to allow the students to bothgain theoretical knowledge and experience the creation of electrical power systems. In the virtuallab the students also gain experience in the use and operation of software used in industry.

Microscope images are shown on the computer screen.Extensions of paradigmRensselaer Polytechnic Institute is a medium-sized technological institute where engineeringpredominates. Approximately 50% of the undergraduate students are engineers. With this strongengineering focus, it is often easier for resources to be obtained if they meet the needs ofengineering students. One possible extension of this shared instructional paradigm is the Page 13.254.12development of a physiology laboratory for
completing studies in the Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) disciplines.1,2 There are two primary tasks that are needed for this Page 24.183.3goal to be accomplished. First, more students need to be attracted to pursue college-levelstudies in the STEM fields. Second, once those students are attracted to a STEM field,the colleges and universities must provide an attractive, nurturing environment designedto allow a wide range of students to succeed, while still providing a rigorous technicaleducation.The College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has generally been able to attract as
