We cameinto this project with a shared hypothesis that there is a missing focus on the science of learning,including the impact of interactions between faculty and students, in faculty development. Webelieve this is a key factor in why there is limited change in faculty beliefs and behaviorsregarding teaching and learning as a result of faculty development programs.Elements of our CoP programming that were successful as reported by our first cohort ofparticipants included

they will not be able to hire theskills they need to successfully operate their businesses. Even marketers have begun torealize the computer culture must become more inviting to girls. Marketers haverecognized girls are attracted to technology when it is social and involves relationshipswith others. One toy consultant remarked that the conventional wisdom is girls don’t likehigh-tech toys but the truth is girls like it but they want it to express who they are (3).Although the ultimate goal of marketers may be financial, the lessons learned are modelswe can all emulate. Designing of programs to engage and interest K-12 girls must centeraround social events. Possibly, team projects would include computers and speciallydesigned creative endeavors
Integrating Traffic Engineering Field Hardware and Research Methodologies into Transportation Engineering Education Edward J. Smaglik Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZAbstractThe limited coordination between design and implementation is a significant challengethat must be overcome when implementing a traffic engineering project. Manyengineers, particularly recent graduates, may be well versed in traffic theory but may nothave the experience to understand the challenges and issues that arise during fieldimplementation. Furthermore, the tools typically used for analysis and design may notprovide a complete picture of the range of operational issues that may be

Since most signals can be projected onto a series of harmonic timedomain operators, i.e., a series

collaboratively do not successfully complete the engineering curriculum. Many newengineering students are surprised to learn that group work is encouraged, because they have notyet determined where the line between collaboration and copying is drawn. It is absolutelyessential that engineering faculty, especially those teaching introductory courses, help instillgood collaborative habits in their students and help them distinguish acceptable group behavior(working together) from bad ones (copying). This can be accomplished through collaborative in-class thought experiments, group homework assignments, and larger semester projects. Moststudents eventually figure out the benefits of group work, although helping them discover this asearly as possible in their

As part of an overalleffort to incorporate virtual reality with a single case study, the initial version of this module wasimplemented in the production systems course [17].MethodA primary aspect of this study was the concept of student motivation. Arnone [18] considers theconcept of curiosity and presents several instructional design strategies for fostering curiosity.The first strategy presented is to use ‘curiosity as a hook.’ The method in our study is to usecuriosity in the Virtual factory to get students interested in the task at hand.

itmerits the attention of all educators of engineering because of its benefit to the instructor and thestudents.Most engineering experts would agree that engineering is a problem-solving science that must bepracticed in order become effective at solving complex problems. Undoubtedly, engineeringstudents across the country are getting plenty of practice solving problems outside the classroomin the form of homework, but for most engineering programs, the only time professors get toobserve their students solving engineering problems might be during laboratory hours or whileadvising on a design project. By observing our students, we gain invaluable feedback about theirknowledge and problem solving abilities. Therefore, why not observe our students

onlinecourses: who is doing the real course work? Especially when it comes to e-exams, onlineteaching makes it extremely difficult to deal with one serious problem: student dishonesty [1].To solve the problem many scholars [2][3][4] have proposed different methods, such as:●Design open-book exams●Use discussions, essay, and other written projects; reduce the percentage of exams●Use a large pool of questions to randomly generate exams for each student●Require students to take exams on siteIn order to reduce the possibility of e-cheating in our college, which uses Angel as the onlineteaching tools, we utilize the following measures to minimize the chance of e-cheating:●Divide a typical course into a number of modules.

These abilitiesare contained within the program outcomes of ABETii.Undergraduate engineering programs now typically include a freshman design experience. There are anumber of modelsiii. Some examples of such courses are listed here. At Northern Arizona University,students are introduced to current design software such as CAD, equation solvers, and spreadsheets. AtDrexel University, the course focuses on the design process and its applications in engineering through aseries of lectures and projects. There are also linkages to freshmen humanities courses. At the Universityof Wisconsin at Madison, students work in teams to determine customer needs, propose solutions, anddesign and test final products.The

be expanded in order to take fulladvantage of all the sources available to the student. By graphically plotting forces, the student canvisualize what is taking place. This used in conjunction with the analytical method is the basis for thisstudy. The student will be able to plot the known forces graphically while also incorporating the formulasderived from the analytical method. Using the table command functions that AutoCad provides will enable the student to incorporateall these methods into one single project. This is the power of using AutoCad to solve problems in statics.In addition to coplanar force systems, AutoCad can also aid in solving various other problems in staticsand strength of materials.
