The intent of the survey was to gauge the status of professionaldevelopment activities vis-a-vis faculty technical currency at personal, departmental, andinstitutional levels in the domains of engineering technology. The survey also exploresfaculty input regarding the importance of technical currency and its relationship tostudent learning and success. Finally, the paper compares the current status of facultyscholarship vis-à-vis faculty technical currency to the results obtained through earlierstudies (2003, 2007 & 2013). I.

Similar to Steif’s homework idea, the students answer engineering designquestions regarding a physical device, in this case, a can crusher. The difference is, the studentscan hold the device in their hands, and they do the work in the classroom where the instructorcan help redirect them if they get stuck or take a wrong turn as they make decisions on how totake a real object and create a mathematical model.

This movement could be considered “entrepreneurial” ina broader sense because a distinct set of related issues seem to have been at its core: deviations ingoals (e.g., reducing famine, improving irrigation, addressing farming ecosystem challenges, helping the poorest segment of the population), changes in context (e.g., agricultural techniques,irrigation, farming ecosystems, value chains), different end users (e.g., farmers, landowners,marginalized workers) and operating model pivots (e.g., university action research project,farming

While one student felt that the values of her writing class werepositively echoed in her discipline’s collaborative coursework, others lamented the few explicitopportunities to formally practice technical communication as an engineering value outside oftheir writing classes. In effect, these students felt that any additional quality that a student’swriting brought to a project or assignment outside of their writing class was not recognized inrubrics or grades. This lack of explicit curricular value for writing disappointed students who’dinvested effort in their writing classes. Three students noted that they made a personal point oftransferring the skills and standards of their writing class to other coursework, but they felt thatthey

First, web services leverage thepowerful communication paradigm of the web and the ubiquitous HTTP/SMTP transportprotocols. Services may be accessed globally and via firewalls. Web services also providea lightweight approach to offering and reusing software applications. Unlike traditionalsoftware libraries that need to be downloaded and included in a project package, webservices are invoked by exchanging well-formed messages on the Web.

considerations. Through his discussion of Lund’s case,Davis argues that an engineer can object to work that would violate the code as anengineer rather than simply as an individual. If one objected to a project without theability to appeal to anything beyond one’s moral conscience, one might easily beconstrued as a moral crusader and may very well be fired and replaced by an engineergreater degree of moral malleability. By invoking one’s code, however, it immediatelybecomes apparent that other engineers are likely to similarly object. In this way, beingable to appeal to one’s profession as grounds for one’s objection carries with it additionalweight. It is less likely that another more opportunistic engineer will take one’s place,and provides something

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
