By the time the students get to us they have never even solvedone equation using actual units.”“Why can’t they apply those math concepts to real-life situations? Maybe thenthe students would be more engaged.”“Those physics teachers! Why in the world are they solely using the InternationalSystem of Units (i.e., meters, grams, Newton, and Joules) when no engineeringcompany in the country does business that way? Feet, slugs, pounds-force andBTUs are the units used in the real-world.”The engineering teacher boasts to the students. “Calculus, I can count the numberof times I

A survey was used in this phase. 2. Brainstorm to determine alternatives to address the issues with the initial goals in mind. 3. Evaluate concepts and implement in parametric CAD the top ideas in order to have better visualization and ability to make modification for improvement. 4. Fully develop the selected alternative. All components were modeled using Pro/E (most common software in shops in the area). Models of parts and assemblies, STL files for rapid prototyping, and production drawings for manufacturing were generated

Psychologicalsetbacks and barriers among undergraduate engineering students add another concern for thefaculty, i.e., students may have fears of losing partial credit in an online multiple-choiceassessment. The asynchronous and economical advantages of distance education and learningthat make offering and taking them very popular force the engineering education profession tore-examine, re-organize, and re-engineer some of the assessment-related issues that otherwisedon’t exist.The use of online-based, “honest, open book, open mind” approach is being

by Killen7 as a form of inquiry learning where existingknowledge is applied to an unfamiliar situation in order to gain new knowledge. Smith11 pointsout that the most common method of classroom teaching and learning in engineering educationhas been described as where “information passes from the notes of the professor to the notes ofthe students without passing through the mind of either.” In contrast to this type of teaching isproblem-based learning which is a process of working toward understanding or resolving aproblem. This method of problem solving is suitable for engineering classes because of itsability to help students develop skills and confidence in formulating new problems. This abilityis important since most real work problems do

With this in mind, theECET faculty at SPSU set about examining the possibility of developing a new B.S. degreeprogram in Biomedical Engineering Technology (BSBMET).II. Motivation and BackgroundThe main motivation for developing the program came from solicitations from incoming andtransfer students who were interested in getting a degree in the Biomedical Engineering area.Many of these students had been made aware of the potential opportunities in the BiomedicalEngineering field prior to attending SPSU. Another source of motivation was the approach madeto the ECET department by a
