students are enrolling in the Distance Engineering Degree Program without a priorengineering background. The growth in the distance program, along with the changingdemographics, presents a challenge to ensure that the same quality of student learning can beachieved. Two primary purposes for this study are 1) to compare the preference for variousteaching methods between on-campus and distance learners and 2) to better understand thebackground and motivations for distance learners in the mechanical engineering department.Ibrahim and Morsi1 performed an early survey of distance engineering programs, focusingprimarily on Electrical and Computer Engineering. At the time, they found that most distanceengineering/technology courses were offered at the

The course content is conventional and develops basicskills in the student aimed at reading and interpreting commercial and residentialconstruction drawings. For most students, ET 200 is their first engineering course withthe potential for a design component. These design projects presented in this paper weredeveloped and implemented with specific objectives in mind: • To stimulate interest in engineering and design; • To provide the

to a CMPE(computer engineering) microcontroller course in spring 2018. Thisis a new learning system with three modules, which are based onevidence-based teaching, knowledge mobilization and evidence-based research strategies. Those modules are working well sinceeach module has its own strategy, which is carefully designedaccording to each student’s learning capability, progress monitoring,and systematic approach. We examined and evaluated this proposedlearning model at the UTRGV in spring 2018 and got good studentsfeedbacks. Therefore, we believe that this new learning model issuccessful for students to learn new technologies systematicallythrough three modules and strategies.References[1] D. P. F.

In addition, it is not generally feasible to connect geographicallydisplaced sensors via cable. Fortunately, today’s microcontrollers are digitally smart, smaller insize, cost-effective, and often equipped with wireless modules. Thus, combining sensors to theradio capable controllers is a most predominant approach to build wireless sensors network. This project involves group of a senior engineering technology students.
