Thesteady rise starting around 1980 coincides with the time that personal computers became bothpopular and affordable; for example the IBM PC was introduced in 1981. The accessibilityof technology to all age groups has only grown since then (Mawson, 2007).

The paper could form the basisfor in-class discussion or a written reflection if an instructor generated appropriate prompts.There are also more detailed case studies related to privacy that would be good vehicles forinstruction, including Google Street View [40, 41] and “optimizing schools” [42].

Itis appreciated that in the US other definitions of integration and interdisciplinarity are usedand a substantial discussion of these will be found in Heywood (2005)14 (see also Fogarty,199315). However, there are two points that need to be made.First, the idea of inter-disciplinary study in the British Isles is mostly associated with coursesin which students study two subjects throughout the period of study to the major (honours)level. With rare exceptions it seems that academics do not

Each of thesetechniques brings about a thematic change in the way students interact with one another andexperience the course material. However, in many typical classes students aren’t necessarilyexploring, questioning, and learning within the classroom setting [15,16]. These observationshave led us to reframe our electromagnetism instruction to be active learning

lectures providedstudents the opportunity to learn about current research and projects being conducted inGermany. In addition, the tours included hands-on learning, where students not only receiveddemonstrations of machinery and robots, but also were allowed to test some of the equipment inthe laboratories. The demonstrations enriched learning for the engineering students because theywere not only able to hear and see technology, but they were able to experience it, too. All toooften, students recognize technology, but don’t quite understand and appreciate it. The E3program took students out of the classroom and into the environment where technology is beingused, researched and developed. This created an environment rich for learning and

approach is to demand more engagement from the students [2]. This method is shown tobe effective as seen in prior literature [2-6]. However, it is observed that while students are morecollaborative in such dynamic learning environments, they still tend to align themselves to theviews of their team, and eventually, the direction of the course is defined by the instructor. So,while the active learning approach does bring the team along in the process of learning, there aresome aspects that still need to be addressed. One such aspect is the students’ engagement in termsof communicating their doubts and confusions. Typically, students show their original work viaassignments, quizzes, projects, and tests. However, the timeline for such activities is

Instead, itprovides researchers with some ideas as to how to identify and assess engineering literacy,explicating what the research “requires that we understand.”Engineering literacy works to describe an informed citizenry, wherein the person functionseffectively in a society that values engineering, as separate from technology.

Much of our conversation in engineering education is about how toget our students to develop the expertise to manage works in this domain through projects,design, etc. These types of problems are increasingly amenable to AI solutions.Working in the complex domain relies on different mental rules than the simple and complexdomains. The reason for this is that problems or systems which can be characterized as complexexhibit behaviors not shared by simple and complicated system.
