. While this course uses active learning approaches and team projects, the scope of theircontents distinguish them from similar courses that seek to achieve improved graduation andretention rates. For instance, in this course, soft skills such as technical writing, use of Excel,developing an individual academic plan of study, cooperative education, internships, culturaldiversity, quality, safety, and ethics are covered. Basic technical skills covered include math,mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering technology. The rationale for this course is toexpose students to these subjects and topics before they enroll in core engineering technologycourses such as applied statics.Assessment of learning:While the author plans to conduct this

methodical curriculum development and revision activities in thenew Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Missouri State University to incorporate acomprehensive engineering design content. A sequence of five courses in the curriculum arerestructured to emphasize different aspects and dimensions of engineering design. Incorporatedwith Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation requirements,courses are linked to emphasize different aspects of engineering design throughout the curriculum.Students complete integrative design projects in this sequence of courses and apply the theory inreal-world engineering problems. Enterprise skills, including teamwork, professionalism, andrecognizing ethical values are also
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

In this age of globalization, engineersshould have deeper concepts, wider views, more skills, and integrated tools to meet thechallenges of the expanding spheres of knowledge and the challenges of globalization.

Perhaps firefighters are prepared for the variety ofproblems in the field, but they do not have the capability to react at the moment and respondappropriately.Simulation (e.g. virtual reality simulation) can provide a safe, ethical, and cost-effectivealternative to practice in certain real fire scenes. This can serve in two ways: it can give a betterunderstanding of new trainees’ behavior and how can be shifted to safe behavior and offertrainees the opportunity to have effective and component training. By using simulations ofvirtual buildings with virtual fire environments, trainees can interact with a changingenvironment simulate various work-related procedures and/or judge whether a building design

Whilenot dealing specifically with engineering courses, it will provide an overview for those new tothe subject. Another article, this one by Smith Macklin (2001), discusses how to integrateinformation literacy into a one-shot course session using PBL. While not aimed specifically atengineering courses the article provides guidance that could be applicable to any subject area.Guerra, Ulseth and Kolmos (2017) edited a

SEEFs shared common motivations ofjoining a career involving instruction motivated by experiences during student teaching roles,and a desire to improve teaching practices. In addition, the SEEF community referred to Barkleyet al.’s handbook [29] on collaborative learning techniques provided a wealth of teachingmethods, along with Godsell’s sourcebook [30] which provided perspective on differentmethods, their implementation and evaluation, among many other sources. However common toall the SEEFs was interpreting the application of these methods to fit their discipline.

The following is a list of the topics andworkshops that were discussed in detail during Friday’s sessionOn June 3, a Vaughn alumni and a Ph.D. student at City College (CUNY) addressed students inthe SEE program about educational determination, willingness, and ethics as prerequisites foracademic success.On June 10, an outstanding senior student in the Mechatronic Engineering program and Co-Founder & VP of Union Crate talked about his start-up company.On June 17, a Vaughn alumni and a Control Systems Engineer at
particular occasions, the online student was asked to communicate with the in campusclass students. In one occasion, she presented her project for the class students andanswered their questions. A presentation of the long distance student was a memorableexperience for the class students, as she was assigned to present about her constructionjob experience, professional ethics, and her suggestions for their job search. That was avery attractive session for the in campus students, as the communication was possiblesuch that she could see the class students with the front camera, and they could see herface and her presentation on the screen. The adjustments have been prepared before theclass for such communication.The above consideration created a

Graduates with an MSET degree will not only build theirunderstanding of leading-edge concepts in their technology arenas but will also become able tostrategically apply these concepts and technology at all levels of the industry.The MSET degree is designed to allow students to achieve their career objectives by offering aflexible, 30 credit hour plan of study in which each student chooses a focus area from thefollowing three areas. Construction Management Fire Safety and Explosion Protection MechatronicsThe university’s approach of merging engineering technology with other areas of study such asproject management, engineering ethics, and financial studies allows the MSET students tocustomize their plan of study to branch
analytical thinking pervades engineering design activities,the integration of the performance of components and sub-systems is vital to the success of allbut the simplest design problems. Consequently, the role of systems thinking is vital in solvingcomplex engineering design challenges while simultaneously considering environmental issues,safety, ethical implications, and economic factors [11]. Systems thinking permits students “tobreak out of the narrow definition of a problem and reflect on the relevant systems and how theyaffect, and in turn are affected by, new and improved technologies” [12]. By integrating systemsthinking experiences into early engineering design challenges, students may become moreexcited about engineering, while learning
ofobjectives and design criteria, procedural synthesis, engineering analysis, and evaluation. In alldesigns, students will consider realistic constraints, such as economic factors, marketability,human factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, and social impacts. The first part of theproject (ENT 497) deals with feasibility studies or proposals. The second part (ENT 498) is theactual implementation, testing, and production or simulation of the prototype 16.The AM Lab initiative has added a new dimension to the senior design sequence as it providedopportunities to the senior students to quickly prototype and test such design projects. Thestudents in the senior design project course are encouraged to utilize the AM Lab equipment inrapid

The offerings from 2013 through 2018 were made without anyconsideration for the use of OER, using only traditional materials. There is some minor variationin performance from year to year for these offerings. It was mentioned in the “Background”section that several variables, which are difficult to control, may have led to these variations.Among them are size of the class, institution, and timing aspects (e.g. day vs. night, one longweekly session vs. two
