to render abstract concepts in graphical representations and extractcorrect spatial information from the structures’ drawings. Spatial ability is defined as theprocesses of constructing, maintaining, and manipulating three-dimensional (3D) objects inone’s mind [1, 2, 3] and considered to have multiple subfactors [4, 5] such as spatialvisualization, spatial orientation, and speed rotation [6]. Research studies that discussed theroles of spatial ability in engineering education have primarily focused on the spatialvisualization, which is the main factor of spatial ability [7]. Some widely used spatialvisualization tests in engineering education [8, 9, 10] include the Purdue Spatial VisualizationTest: Rotations (PSVT: R) [11], the Vandenberg

recommendations to update the textbook everysemester. Now in its 11th edition,1 the textbook is significantly easier to read, has far fewertypographical errors, and includes new material the students requested. This paper discusses theprocess of continual improvement and the effects the textbook has had on student success overthe 5 years of its use.IntroductionWithin the last half century, Continual Improvement Processes (CIP) have become part of theculture in manufacturing and service industries. A key part of Kaizen and other CIP methods isto solicit and implement ideas from the employees, rather than from costly outside consultants.2Involving and empowering employees can reinforce a sense of teamwork and improve employeemorale, leading to higher

It has been observed that new approach improvedthe final scores in the course as well as student satisfaction with this approach of presentingmaterial as well as testing their understanding of the required material. The paper presentsresults from two years of teaching the course with the current approach, along with lessonslearned from this experience.IntroductionTeaching/learning process is an age long human activity of passing knowledge from person toperson [1].

Engineering Technology CoursesAbstractPenn State University requires that before any technology intended for classroom use isapproved for purchase, including renewals of software currently in classroom use, there must bean equally effective alternate access plan (EEAAP) in place for that technology. The plan mustanswer the question “What will you do if a person with a disability gets involved in yourprogram and is impacted by the lack of accessibility on this technology.” The motivation for thisrequirement is compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended in 2008[1]. This paper details the process that faculty at Penn State Behrend undertook to create astandard EEAAP that can be used as a template when

quarter, a final grade for each student was determined based on the sum of allweekly task scores, a final score on the most updated proposal manuscript, and professionalism/ethics scores based on quarter-wide performance. The final grade was compared against thecumulative work hours to determine relationship.Time spent versus scores received were expected to exhibit a sigmoidal trend with the currentstudent population. Therefore a curve-fitting method [1] was employed using the equation (𝑦𝑚𝑎𝑥 − 𝑦𝑚𝑖𝑛 ) 𝑦 = 𝑦𝑚𝑖𝑛 + 1 + 10𝑛(log 𝑥50 −log 𝑥)where 𝑦 : score data 𝑦𝑚𝑖𝑛 : minimum value of 𝑦 in data set

engineering degree studies. Extensive surveys ofthe current practices related to senior projects, as well as of engineering teaching through seniorprojects are available in the literature [1, 2]. For their senior projects, students apply thebackground and skills accumulated through coursework in researching a problem, for whichthen a solution is investigated, designed and implemented. A significant part of the knowledgeand skills needed for the projects are straightforward learning from the actual courses taken inthe program, but often new skills are needed, specific to the project topic selected, and studentsneed to apply their learning skills in researching a new subject, or getting familiar with a newpiece of hardware or software platform

industries andinstitutions have started to recognize solar energy benefits for electricity generation withphotovoltaic (PV) modules. According to the latest national solar jobs Census [1], Texas rankedin the top five states for solar jobs and had a growth of 9.3% in the past year. There are around683 solar companies established in the state, according to the National Solar Database [2], whichrespond to the increase in solar installations in the recent year.We have witnessed how new industries in our region consider solar systems to provide energy totheir new facilities from the beginning of the construction project. We have also seen an increaseof companies and institutions converting to this type of energy as the technology's cost becomesvery

University (MSU) works towardsthis goal is through accreditation of its Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) programwith ABET. To maintain accreditation, the program must define outcomes, assess thoseoutcomes, evaluate how well those outcomes are being attained, and finally, continuouslyimprove the program. To satisfy ABET defined Criteria for Accrediting EngineeringTechnology Programs, 2019-2020 the MSU MET program has adopted student outcomes listedas #1 through #7. The focus of this work is Student Outcome #6: “An ability to conduct standardtests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improveprocesses.” This outcome was noted in prior assessment activities at MSU as an area forimprovement.

Now, with six years of historic data as well asdata available prior to 2014, the effects this restructuring has had on the enrollment inengineering technology can be analyzed. This paper presents this analysis and discussesimpacts on recruiting and enrollment.IntroductionThe selection of a college major has been called a “high stakes decision” and could havesignificant long-term implications [1]. For some students, this decision is made during theapplication process to a four-year degree program when they might be seventeen years old. Forother students, it is made later, once a student has matriculated to campus and has

One section was offered online with 37 students. All thethree sections were taught by the same instructor (Author-3). These sections were not hamperedby any unplanned situations during the semester. In Spring 2020, four sections were offered: twoon-campus sections with 16 and 40 students, and two online with 40 and 45 students. Twoinstructors: Author-1 and Author-3 taught the course.

In mostinstances, these experiences in engineering design become incorporated into standards-baseddesign courses. In this case, the courses are designated as engineering/engineering technologycourses and the engineering design component is emphasized. Engineering design projects areproblems that may be approached and resolved using strategies and approaches commonlyconsidered to be engineering practices.

While it is plausible that Industry 4.0 improves people’s overall life satisfaction, atthe meanwhile, this rapid change causes anxiety among employees because advancedtechnology may replace human workers, especially blue collar workers [1, 3].

Ability to support and sustain the selected vegetation 2. Ability to dewater the ponded water in 24 Hr. 3. Ability to remove the projected hydrologic and pollutant load; 4. Life cycle and durability of the media; and 5. Media cost.”With this in mind the following amendments should be made to the rain garden. The top 3-4inches of soil must be amended with a mixture of peat moss and top soil and rototilled togetherto ensure that the new plants
