almost any IAB discussion of the topic but they have muchgreater impact if they can be delivered directly by the members to the student body.TaxonomyWriting is never easy. Promises that it gets better with practice offer little comfort to strugglingstudents. It is more useful to demonstrate the many factors that are involved. Each factor iseasily understood and with some effort it can be mastered. However, the combinations andinteractions make the overall composition process complex. Figure 3 shows a very simpletaxonomy in the form of three lists. The number and scope of the topics can be readily adjustedto suit the application but those shown have been found to be adequate for most technical writingat undergraduate level

Leaning Management System (LMS)LMSs such as Canvas®, aTutor®, Blackboard®, Desire2Learn®, Moodle®, eCollege®, amongothers can be of great aid in active learning as it can be used to guide students to take a moreactive role in their learning. LMSs have a large number of functionality including: course contentdelivery (for self-service and self-guided services), portability, content personalization,reporting, tracking, grading, etc. It is a key mechanism for e-learning in colleges and universitiesworldwide. The practicability to allow course material delivery to be accessed by students at anyplace and time makes LMS strategically useful in active learning. LMS

. Smart robots – both personal and industrial -are proliferating fueled by efficient manufacturing combined with energy dense battery technology. Atthese devices contain embedded controllers and computing processors termed as microcontrollerswhich typically offer less performance than the latest processors used in laptop and desktop personalcomputers.Electrical and computer engineers will not be successful without having a good skill set and anunderstanding of how these proliferating smart devices work in terms of processing data andproviding various control functions for the device such as voice and image recognition, speaking,precision movements, etc. While most of electrical and computer baccalaureate graduates may notenter careers to design

This time, the tutors met with the instructor of a junior-level course and theirtutoring supervisor for an hour-long training session two weeks prior to the deadline forsubmission of a lab report in the course taught by the instructor. Detailed instructions werepresented to the tutors by the course instructor, indicating their responsibilities in helping thestudents improve. The instructions also indicated where the students needed to acceptresponsibility for both making appropriate changes to their lab reports as well as understandingthe underlying methods that yield better written communication.

) has been moving from alargely non-traditional student body to a more typical college demographic. This is seen by manyas one of the causes of unmotivated behavior many see more frequently in recent years. Though thecauses may be less understood, many studies indicate the consequences of low motivation areserious and include low persistence in engineering majors1,2. The study outlined below focuses ontwo specific research questions. First, what demographic factors (e.g., age, sex) are most closelytied to high levels of motivation? We are considering levels of motivation to be manifest in pointsearned on low point-value assignments, typically an “un-motivating” assignment. Second, arethese factors different for engineering technology students

So Few Textbook ChoicesLet's define Engineering Technology (ET), in contrast to what it isn’t: it's not Engineering orIndustrial Technology or Technician study. ABET’s website compares ET & Engr. thusly: “Engineering programs often focus on theory and conceptual design, while engineeringtechnology programs usually focus on application and implementation. Also, engineering programs typically require additional, higher-level mathematics,including multiple semesters of calculus and calculus-based theoretical science courses.Engineering technology programs typically focus on algebra, trigonometry, applied calculus, andother courses that are more practical than theoretical in nature.” 1Engineering Technology is a young
