Colorado State University (Fort Collins, CO, USA) in 2018. There, she gained experience working as a graduate teaching assistant for computer aided engineering, biomedical engineering capstone design, and biomedical engineering introductory classes. She also served as a Grad- uate Teaching Fellow for the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering during the 2016/2017 academic year. Nicole is currently an instructional post-doctoral fellow in the Transforming Engineering Education Laboratory within the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. Through this fellowship, she spent the 2019/2020 academic year teaching and assisting in curriculum development at Shantou University (Guangdong Province
following two questions: First, how did EC2000 affect the learning outcomes ofABET-accredited students? Second, what impact did EC2000 have on organizational policiesand practices, educational policies and practices that helped improve student learningoutcomes? A large amount of evidence collected in the research showed that theimplementation of the EC2000 had a positive impact on engineering programs, studentexperience, and student learning.In response to the enthusiastic attention of the China’s government and society to the qualityassurance in engineering education s, the Higher Education Teaching Evaluation Center ofthe Ministry of Education, together with the Beijing University of Aeronautics andAstronautics, and Tsinghua University, have
; Environmental Engineering Department at Bucknell Uni- versity. Her teaching and research focus on sustainable production of biofuels and bioproducts. She and her students use laboratory studies and modeling techniques—such as life cycle assessment—to develop and improve the environmental performance of resource recovery from wastewater and multi-product biorefineries.Dr. Craig Beal, Bucknell University Craig E. Beal earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Bucknell University in 2005 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University in 2007 and 2011. Dr. Beal is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Bucknell University and was the Jane W. Griffith Faculty Fellow from 2012-2015
have become very popular in USA and Canada. They exposestudents to real engineering environments in different countries far from their homeland where differentcultures have survived over centuries and millennia. International internships teach engineering internshow products are envisioned and used differently in different cultures. Conversely, internationalinternships expose students to how different tools are used for the same purpose in different countries,like an American kitchen knife and an Asian Bothi. Giving another example, again from Japan, in the areaof New Production System (NPS), Noboru Kawasaki writes, “A company that has even a shred of doubt inNPS will not succeed. NPS is like a Lotus Sutra, a Buddhist mantra that teaches
global research collaborations during their careers? 2) Impact on Faculty Collaborators ● How has IRES and resulting linkages influenced their research and teaching? ● What factors facilitated and hindered achievement of IRES research goals? 3) Impact on Participating Institutions ● How has IRES influenced ongoing and future research collaborations between institutions? ● How has IRES influenced the educational environment at participating institutions, including educational exchange/future study abroad opportunities? 4) Impact on Quality of Research Outcomes (e.g., on Knowledge Environments) ● In what ways has the research process been transformed as a result of
, such as visiting the State Key Laboratory, and participating in the 30th Asianremote sensing conference.(3) Teachers’ active participation in class constructionThe head teacher and the counselor have actively participated in their class construction. Thehead teacher is responsible for lecturing professional knowledge and creating academicatmosphere, whereas the counselor for daily management and supervision. The classcommittee would also regularly collect students’ opinions and hold discussion among thehead teacher, the counselor and the students.(4) Development of colorful class activitiesFeaturing “promoting class construction through class activities”, the class committee hasheld a variety of class activities such as fun sports meetings
