The series intended to answer the question, “How do I get the best possibleresults for my life goals from this graduate program?”With faculty and industry engagement, we identified specific learning outcomes for theleadership series, critical features for the process and expected outcomes for each of the courses.We used a set of critical design assumptions as our guide for development. These assumptionswere based on adult learning theory as well as motivational theory. Furthermore, we

It can be used to fabricate mechanical designs in a timely manner and hence is usefulfor design and manufacturing courses. In fact, many higher education institutions now have RPmachines for research and teaching. Current literature reports that involving RP in design andmanufacturing courses can significantly enhance active learning by providing quick and directfeedback on their designs via prototypes.

The instructional set upinvolved using of Solid Works® software by high school students to develop computer aideddesign models which were then visualized and printed using 3D Printers. Design of Experiments(DOE) based statistical techniques were then used to identify the best-built conditions for theparts developed by the students. The approach for creating an effective learning environment forhigh school students in a university setting along with the course structure used and projectfindings are presented in this paper. It is found that the students involved showed a basic level ofunderstanding

Meanwhile, the web-based theories are to focus on the learning process, instructional design, and the technology to understand the relative effectiveness of the delivery method.(3) The result of this research that requests for web-based learning courses need to become more of a reality, particularly in the courses of manufacturing field. Furthermore, the studies are required in the future where various types of interaction can occur in order to develop learners’ achievements, attitudes and collaborative necessary for different professional course learning through adaptive designed
enterprises.Students also have the option to complete a program at what is called a VET College beginningafter the eighth year of schooling. These programs, like apprenticeships last for between one andfour years. There are many different types of VET colleges, including business schools, schoolsfocused on engineering, management, tourism and fashion. Graduates of these schools qualifygraduates to practice the occupations concerned based on the program completed. It bears statingthat Austria has many more requirements than the U.S. for certifications and diplomas. It is notpossible to get many jobs without the necessary qualifications, which of course providesadditional incentive to complete the necessary programs.Austria’s dual vocational education ensures

Printing, Casting, and Entrepreneurship1. AbstractCasting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes. 3D Printing is known as one of the newesttechnologies used in the manufacturing field, and it is almost thirty years old. Although bothtechnologies are commonly used in various fields of industry and daily life, this research studyreports a unique implementation of both technologies in a new entrepreneurial environment. Theentire study had been performed in Summer 2016 as part of the Research Experiences forTeachers (RET) Supplement of a National Science foundation (NSF) funded project. In tenweeks of extensive design, 3D Printing, and casting studies, several best practices between theP16 educators and students have been established. As a

The areas of potentialopportunity that each student identified were shared with the class. Each of the ideas werecompared to one another to identify the top ideas with the best potential. One of the nextsteps performed by students is to design the company. Students started from developing thename of the company for the service or product that it provided. This is beneficial because itshowed the students that there are many possibilities for entrepreneurship and it also showedthem

This includes knowledge of strategies and regulation ofone’s own cognition. Studying metacognition is important because higher-order thinking iscommonly used, and problem-solving skills are positively correlated with metacognition. Apositive previous disposition to metacognition can improve problem-solving skills. Metacognitionis a key skill in design and manufacturing, as teams of engineers must solve

Many graduates will frequently need to use these toolsonce they enter the workforce. This is especially true for those involved in research anddevelopment as well as testing and validation activities. Basic and applied statistics is key toanalyzing laboratory studies, deciphering what the data mean, and discerning trends andpatterns1. Even so, the teaching of statistics to engineers has been the subject of only a fewstudies in recent years2-4. Essential statistics topics should include independent and dependent

The senior design project can serve as an excellentculminating experience in the program of study when it focuses on research and design projectsthat have practical value to consumers or to industry. For the Engineering Technology Departmentat Drexel University, the senior design course is a year-long educational journey (three quarters)that takes an idea generated by a student or an industrial sponsor and culminates in a product orproject. This course is an excellent capstone experience, which requires both teamwork andindividual skills in
