Since on-line resources change frequentlylibrarians can be valuable resources to instructors. IntroductionTechnology is a boon for educators, freeing them to focus on teaching. In the past teachingfaculty spent countless hours writing and organizing documentation. Currently instructors cansimply edit last semester’s or last year’s syllabi for this semester. Many engineering faculty areputting their syllabi on-line to facilitate access. Libraries, just like technology, can offer facultymethods to enrich course content
Session 2630 Physics in the Integrated First Year; Second Attempt William H. Bassichis Department of Physics Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843IntroductionTexas A&M University is part of a seven school program, supported by the National Science Foundation,called the Foundation Coalition, FC. One of the goals of the FC is to integrate the freshman year courses takenby engineering undergraduates. The
limitations and the ability to manage the process. The use of calculation softwarefacilitates this process and allows students to produce more robust designs. This paper outlinesthe advantages of employing industry-standard calculation software within undergraduatecurricula on mechanical design.Author’s BackgroundThe author of this paper is a professor emeritus of engineering technology at the University ofDayton in Dayton, Ohio. He started his academic career in 1966 teaching a variety of courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Technology program and he continues to teach to this day. Besidesthe course in Design of Machine Elements, he has taught most of the major courses in theprogram and has contributed to the development of the curriculum and
easily applied to problem solving inthe U. S. Army. All cadets are required to take two or more courses in InformationTechnology and/or Computer Science. At a minimum, a cadet can take two classes inInformation Technology which teach basic problem solving as part of their curriculum.Additionally, some students select a three course engineering sequence in computerscience which further develops their problem solving skills. Finally, those cadets whomajor in computer science are exposed to advanced methodologies such as an object-oriented approach to problem solving. This paper examines the approach to teachingproblem solving within the introductory core information technology course (IT105) andthe first course of the Computer Science major (CS301
discussions. Peter Drucker in his bookPost-Capitalist Society describes the journey from a capitalistic society to a knowledge societyby saying, “knowledge is the only meaningful resource.” (p. 42) The function of management isto apply existing knowledge and to define what new knowledge is needed and how it can beused. “That knowledge has become the resource, rather than a resource, is what makes oursociety ‘post-capitalist.’ ” (p. 45) 1 The study of knowledge management becomes increasingly important in engineering andtechnology as several forces converge: · marketing to global customers · competing with new providers of goods/services · growing computer networks and increasing use of information technology

AM is employed in radiobroadcasting systems. AM modifies the amplitude of the carrier to

Associated with these themes are substantial pedagogicalchallenges that we will describe: Managing a classroom that may have students with backgrounds as diverse as afreshman English major and senior student of civil engineering; developing quantitative assignments that are simpleyet accurate and enriching; guiding students in writing about the built environment in unaccustomed to ways;integrating technology into the learning experience.The authors have formed a close collaboration that is aimed at achieving the goals outlined in the previous packagein a

environments, various computer technologies are applied including Zoom meetings (especially breakout rooms and meeting recordings), pencasts, online tutorials, discussion boards, etc. Two laboratory design problems dealing with digital logic designs and interfacing of analog sensors are briefly described. In the online lab, students from two different engineering programs (mechatronics engineering and industrial engineering) were paired together using Zoom’s breakout rooms thus engaging in PL. Also, each student was issued a kit of parts necessary for the physical implementation of the lab designs off campus. Student pairs that finished their labs early were required to help other pairs. The instructor would combine pairs using Zoom’s breakout rooms

AbstractScience, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) teaching strategies that engage studentsand create an atmosphere of community are desperately needed to recruit, retain, and bestprepare students in STEM fields to address challenges facing the 21st Century. Research showsthat student performance and persistence in a STEM degree is associated primarily with threeaspects of their experience: intellectual engagement and
development experienced beyond the confines of the curriculum.Skills such as planning, applying technology, evaluating, and accepting professional responsibility - skillswelcomed by employers - have been presented using the open forum of a pontfolio. Observations based on experiences with individual portfolios in engineering education have relevance 1when applied to the institutional design portfolio model. For example, Bramhall points out that though anoriginal goal of using portfolios was to document development, the portfolios often concentrated onachievement and potential. Such concentrations detracted from the portfolio’s ability to develop theindividuals

Starting in the eighties, PLCs are frequently networked in industrial plants so thatcontrol software and data acquisition could be managed through a centralized computer system.An Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) graduate who is hired to work in an industrial plantis expected to be informed about these topics. In most schools the topic of Programmable LogicControllers (PLCs) is taught in two-quarter or two-semester classes. Typically, a semester issixteen weeks long, while a quarter session is only eleven weeks long. During the second quarteror second semester one must be able to introduce and explain important topics on networkingPLCs in industrial plants.
