In this paper, we examine possible methods ofteaching that analysis. We also propose a closer relationship between math and Englishcurricula as a means of reinforcing our teaching.Introduction The Samuel I. Ward College of Technology at the University of Hartford offerssix Engineering Technology majors: Architectural, Audio, Chemical, Computer,Electronic, and Mechanical. In addition, we teach our own math courses, from Math I,Algebra, through Math V, Differential Equations, and our own English courses, fromEnglish I, Expository Writing, through English III, Advanced

Anintroductory engineering technology course titled “Manufacturing, Materials, and Processes”has been modified to include a seminar and is effectively required for all students entering arange of majors.One of the goals for this particular seminar class is to acquaint the students with the courses intheir majors, and how the courses integrate with the goals of the major. A case study wasdeveloped based on a damaged lawn mower, and presented in the seminar. The problempresented in the case study was purposely incomplete, with a series of tasks listed which wouldbe necessary to resolve the damage to the lawnmower.

As technology advances, more and more educators have found videogames as one of many learning tools at their disposal. The availability of many modern FPGAs andembedded processors at an affordable price has opened many interesting projects of which many formereducators could have only dreamed. Often time students find that programming or engineering classesare hard to understand due to their lack of interest. It is up to the educators to keep up with the

chemicalengineer, it is necessary to adopt a new paradigm for chemical engineering education. Forexample, many programs are now requiring biology classes in addition to the traditionalchemistry and physics classes. An increasing number of departments are changing their namesto include some reference to biology (e.g., chemical and biochemical engineering, chemical andbiomolecular engineering). Product design is either replacing part of or complementing processdesign in the capstone experience. There is a strong movement to alter the fundamental chemicalengineering curriculum common to virtually every program to include the colloid-scale, nano-scale, molecular-scale, and atomic-scale technologies that are at the forefront of chemicalengineering research.1

TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) ensures a department’s overallteaching product and program content. However, the department is made up of its faculty, andevaluating teaching effectiveness of individual faculty has historically been troublesome. TheDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) has recently adopted a new policy for evaluating individual faculty members’teaching contributions to the department and college. The impetus for the new policy is toreaffirm a commitment to undergraduate education, improve teaching in

IntroductionUpgrading undergraduate labs to incorporate modern, computer-based instrumentation and dataacquisition is a common area of continuous improvement in engineering programs as facultywork to provide students with instruction in this technology. Upgrades can include theimprovement of a single apparatus such as the heat exchanger upgrade described by Hinton etal.1 or the wind tunnel upgrade described in this paper, or the upgrade of several experimentswithin a lab such as that described by Craig and McConnell 2, or the development of a newlaboratory as described by Knight and McDonald 3, to the integration of

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and theComputer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) have well-designed definitions and frameworksthat can be opted from CT assessment[14]. However, they were developed for K-12 education, aresomewhat broad, and do not specifically target undergraduate engineering. In addition to thedifficulty of having very generic definitions of Computational Thinking coming from a K-12context, the frameworks based on which CT is being assessed even in undergraduate engineeringspace are also coming from K-12 space. The need for a specialized and consensual framework toassess engineering undergraduates' CT skills and learning outcomes is evident [35].Students
