Angus Northeastern University Boston, MA 02115-5096AbstractData acquisition requirements for manufacturing, development, and research applications havegrown significantly. A continued need is predicted for standards and software to efficientlyprocess and store that data.The authors, who created Just-in-Time (JIT) Education™, were invited to meet with a multi-national, high-technology company.

Diverse academic backgrounds complicate the biotechnologylearning environment, motivating the application of powerful educational strategies. However,recent research in education has provided some insights into how to design a learningenvironment that centers on issues of the learner and the knowledge to be learned. A recentreport called How People Learn: Mind, Brain, Experience and School1 has synthesized currentresearch on how people learn and effective classroom practice to create a framework called theHPL Framework.

Engineering Courses to Enhance Student LearningAbstractIn recent years, many universities are looking for alternatives to in-person teaching. Offeringengineering courses in online formats: either fully web-based or hybrid format can be quitechallenging. While some students still prefer in-person teaching for engineering courses, thereare also significant benefits to online formats. For many universities/programs, it is a way ofattracting nontraditional students as well as students from other universities since it generatesadditional student credit hours, which would not be possible with traditional in-person class.With this in mind, we started offering two engineering courses: one design class at theundergraduate level, and another materials class at

We have quite highexpectations of students in this course, so to the extent possible we minimize lecturing andmaximize hands-on or, better yet, brains-on activities. This means that rather than lecturingabout and repeating what students can independently read in the textbook, we simply expect thatthey have read it and are prepared during class and team meetings to participate in thorough,joint exploration of the topics at hand.

So I felt like you're spending a lot of time with them also like interested me in engineering because I remember why I went, and this was not really little. I went to stay with my cousin and her boyfriend at his college, Purdue. And he was just showing me all this stuff he was working on and it was really interesting. And I remember I was like nine and he described to me, natural selection and it blew my mind. I was blown away. He also explained to me the very basic derivatives. And I was like, "This is so cool." But, even though I didn't know, like really understand it, it just, it was

has been argued that there is a lack ofpreparation in the graduate programs to support future faculty to become engineering educators –especially Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) [4-7]. Research also shows that themost valued career path among doctoral engineering students is that of academia, but there isalso a limited number of tenure-track positions that may be available for students in the future[3]. This trend means that future efforts for the preparation of graduate engineering students forthe professoriate must involve actions that contribute to the professional development of futureeffective and equity-minded engineering educators with an emphasis on pedagogical methods.Prepared or not, the reality is that doctoral
