It is a five-point Likert-scale instrument that wasdeveloped to capture students’ attitudes toward science, math, engineering/technology, and21st century skills [18]. In the present study, the survey questions that measure students’attitudes toward science, math, and engineering/ technology concepts were utilized.Students’ responses to those questions were analyzed.ResultsAt the completion of the summer camp, evaluative feedback was collected from theparents regarding their knowledge and understanding related to building automation,Internet of Things, the engineering design process, and engineering careers

These componentswere obtained from a variety of resources and the list was merged into one table.Assembly and Testing ProcessAfter receiving all of the components, all of the students were involved in the assembly andtesting process of the unit. Students were assigned individual components so that they couldlearn more about the specific component(s) by studying the specifications and assemblyprocedures. For example, two of the students are assigned to three different electric meters forfurther study (net metering, one way metering, two ways metering). Two of the inverters wereassigned four students for further study of the specifications, assembly, and testing of

The Engineering Technology program at Texas A&M-CorpusChristi needed to demonstrate that in addition to the qualified faculty, modern facilities, andsupport from the University, alumni and industry, it had a program in place that measured andevaluated the engineering technology program‟s performance, and could identify areas ofstrength and areas that needed improvement. Such a program was necessary so that a continuousimprovement strategy could be implemented. All faculty had already been using MS Excelsoftware-based spreadsheets, albeit each one different from the other, to keep students‟ grades.Each course syllabus contained the expected student learning outcomes.

. With this slightmodification, course learning objectives can now be measured much more accurately.Note that it is not necessary to use all assignment problems as an assessment tool, but it isimportant to always specify course learning objective corresponding to a given problem.This has proven to provide the student a sense of ownership of the problem, therebyencouraging and motivating the student. Once the format is set for each homework, theinstructor can change problems from year to year, however maintaining thecorresponding related course learning objective. This way, the Excel spreadsheet neednot be modified further. HOMEWORK #1 The next question(s) addresses the following course learning objective(s): • Convert any number between

The need for these experiences has been widely embraced,and the vehicles for achieving that goal have taken many forms [1].No single program, or even one type of program, will achieve these goals alone. A multi-pronged approach, with many different aspects is necessary to reach students [2], [3].

Thisrocket was chosen because of its unique payload section which is separate from the parachutestowing area. In model rocketry the parachute is deployed by the, “Ejection charge” that isproduced by the rocket engine after the thrust charge is depleted. The ejection charge effectivelyforces the rocket stages to separate and propels the parachute(s) out of the storage chamber. Byhaving a separate payload section, the sensors can be shielded from the violent pressure effectsof the ejection charge.The diameter and length of the combined payload and hollow nose cone sections placeconstraints on the physical design.
