Education, 2013 iPads in the Engineering Classroom – Boon or Bane?Introduction As iPads and similar touch-screen devices continue to flood the market, engineeringprograms are seeking to integrate these platforms into student education. With total marketpenetration of perhaps 125 million iPads sold to date and nearly half a billion smartphones (allbrands) shipped in 2011 alone1 for a total of just over 1 billion smartphone users currentlyholding active accounts worldwide2, the transition to highly-mobile touch screen computing isupon us. Further, the Pew Internet and American Life Project estimates that 66% of thosebetween 18 and 29 years old own smartphones, with the likelihood of ownership increasing withhigher incomes3

In terms of partial overlap, experiential and self-reflectivelearning has some aspects in common with relational learning (especially when consideringrelationship with self), but also has aspects that are distinct from relational learning. A note ismade in the figure that all learning is contextual, so the relationship of the learner with thecontext of the learning situation applies in all learning modes. Further, this diagram is

The program decided to seek funding for a job shadow program based on theresearch reported above suggesting that job shadowing might be one way to increase interest inengineering and on the following factors: 1. Students at Smith do not declare a major until the end of their sophomore year, thus providing a perfect opportunity for students to explore engineering and for recruiting students who might not have otherwise chosen engineering. 2. Students enrolled in Picker Engineering courses have consistently reported in surveys administered by the department

Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify and highlightkey elements of existing cyberlearning resources with compelling results. An explanatorysequential mixed methods research design1 was used to address the follow research questions: 1. How many cyberlearning resources have been highlighted among NSF reports over the past 10 years? Where do they fit within a cyberlearning taxonomy? What are the emerging opportunities? 2. What are some of the keys aspects of a subset of cyberlearning resources with compelling results

Low cycle fatigue is a strain based theory that better represents the behavior of materialssubjected to cyclic loading resulting in plastic deformation. Low cycle fatigue theory takes intoaccount both the elastic and plastic strain, while high cycle fatigue theory ignores plasticity. Atypical strain-life plot is seen in Figure 1, with the elastic strain (Δεe), plastic strain (Δεp), andtotal strain(Δε) curves shown, along with a line marking the transition life, where the fatiguefailure mode changes from elastic-dominant to plastic-dominant

Students were not expected topartition the solution in to multiple code files, but they are to use structured forms in dividing thesolution into distinct and coherent functions with data passed among them as parameter values.This is straight forward in both C and MATLAB. However, MATLAB allows multiple resultvalues to be passed back directly whereas one has to use data pointers in C to pass back multiplevalues.Table 1 below lists the course topics and the relevant objectives while stating whether MATLABwas discussed with regard to that topic or not.
