Dr. Exter’s research aims to provide recommendations to improve or enhance university-level design and technology programs (such as Instructional Design, Computer Science, and Engineering). Some of her previous research has focused on software designers’ formal and non-formal educational experiences and use of precedent materials, and experienced instructional designers’ beliefs about design character. These studies have highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary skills and student engagement in large-scale, real-world projects. Dr. Exter currently leads an effort to evaluate a

. The '80s brought the advent of personal computers and the rapiddevelopment of user-friendly application software. As increasingly powerful hardware andsoftware tools became available, industry began demanding engineering graduates skilled in theuse of these application tools, and showed less interest in students' ability to build their own toolsfrom the ground up. The microprocessor also radically changed the way and extent to which pre-college students experience technology. Integrated electronics and the conversion of mechanicalcontrol to computer control effectively made function and form in everyday machines invisible;the conceptual database that engineering students formerly brought to the table declinedsubstantially as "virtual

. With the evolving technology and engineering principles, modern turbines are designedwith larger, more aerodynamic blades to maximize power production. These blades take the formof airfoils, much like the wings of an airplane, which helps them efficiently convert wind energyinto rotational motion. Importantly, these blades are not flat but instead include a twist along theirlength, optimizing their performance and ensuring they can adapt to varying wind conditions.One remarkable feature of wind turbines is their ability to adjust the angle of their blades. Thismovement is known as blade pitch, and it’s a critical factor in optimizing energy capture. Bychanging the blade pitch, turbines can respond to changes in wind speed and direction

Why are the national numbersso low and even much lower in Engineering and Technology?This paper will explore what employers are looking for in graduates, how can study abroad helpstudents achieve success, and the benefits of studying abroad for both the employer and thestudent. The paper will look at some reasons why students might not take advantage of studyabroad programs and what can be done to change the attitudes of faculty and students on thevalue of studying abroad to increase the preparedness of students for a career in the 21st Century.

IntroductionThe senior design project, which has become a popular addition to many engineering andengineering technology programs, provides a number of challenges for both the student andfaculty supervisor. These challenges include selecting an appropriate project by the student,creating and meeting a schedule agreed upon by the student and the faculty supervisor, anddeveloping a suitable presentation of the completed project.
