graduating out of the major did not have necessaryexperience or knowledge in robotics. Using best practices in engineering education, the course transitioned from a lecturemodel to a project-based learning model that includes three blocks over a forty-lesson semester:block 1, introductory topics; block 2, robotics design and implementation; and block 3, mazecompetition. Each laboratory includes a brief fifteen-minute introduction to a fundamentalelectrical and computer engineering concept and 3.5-hours of hands-on application. For example,after learning how the average power of a system can be controlled via pulse-width modulation,students integrate motors into the robot and connect each motor to a modern measurement tool toobserve the

There is a strong need to exposeundergraduate students to engineering concepts to enable a stronger, more engineering literateworkforce among non-engineers. “We must do this for all students, both those who do and thosewho do not aspire to be scientists, mathematicians, and engineers”2. According to Wulf, “[Everycitizen] should also be familiar with the methods that engineers use to evaluate designalternatives in search of the one that best satisfies constraints related to cost, functionality, safety,reliability, manufacturability, ergonomics, and environmental impact” 3.In summary, we need to improve the technological literacy of our non-scientific workforce.

Recruitment into the Field of Environmental EngineeringAbstractThere is a tremendous and rapidly growing demand for mid- and entry-level EnvironmentalEngineers at consulting/engineering firms and utilities in many regions of the United States, andwhat seems to be a considerable increase in starting salaries offered by engineering consultingfirms in the last two to three years is apparent. Furthermore, a Masters degree has becomealmost a necessity for entry-level engineers practicing in the areas of water and wastewatertreatment and industrial waste management, particularly as more complex systems are evaluatedand designed. The Environmental Engineering field seems to be moving to a point where aMasters degree is required

Upon determination of allcircuit designs, the project was equally divided among all teams. Each team was solelyresponsible for the layout, fabrication and testing of their project block.Course instructors facilitated project progression through comments on the advantages anddisadvantages of proposed approaches. Course lectures and laboratories were designed toprovide instruction in concepts relating to the project which were not covered in previouscourses. The project, a 915MHz, multi-channel FM audio transmitter and receiver, wassuccessfully constructed and operational by the required delivery date.This paper

Thisstudy aims to fill this gap by focusing on the dynamic relationship between diverse teamcomposition and innovation outcomes in engineering fields [39], [40]. By investigating teamsfrom various engineering disciplines at an HBCU, this research seeks to provide insights intohow diversity contributes to the effectiveness of collaborative problem-solving and innovation,with the goal of informing best practices for both academic and industrial settings [41].3.0 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKThis research is grounded in two theories

Our discoveries about rubric structure improvements couldbe explored further to define best practices in the design of universal rubrics. Our next stepsinclude applying what we have learned to refine the rubrics and develop accompanying trainingmaterials. The refined rubric rows will be evaluated for inter-rater reliability, trialed in focusgroups with undergraduate students, and deployed in academic courses.Background: Learning Outcomes Assessment and the DARCA ProjectThere is a need for valid and reliable tools for assessing learning outcomes in engineeringeducation.

It challenges students in many of the same ways thatthey will be challenged upon entering today’s workforce. Perhaps one the best aspects of this isthat it is not an activity that is presented as “now we’re going to do something international.”Instead, it is simply the reality that to be successful on a technical project, and earn the desiredgrade, they will have to navigate working on a team that is international.Basic Description of ArrangementThe University of Dayton and Shanghai Normal University are partners in a unique articulationagreement for the Bachelor of Science in

As cohort programs continue to increase in popularity, there is a need todocument effective practices for engineering student support. Here we focus on a key componentof many cohort programs, the development of social capital within engineering. Social capital, orthe ways students’ relationships support their development as engineers, is an asset-basedframing that can help researchers explore equitable development and deploy social resources in acohort program [11–13].
