Janet assists in recruitment and retention efforts locally, nationally, and internationally, hoping to broaden the image of engineering, science, and technology to include new forms of communication and problem solving for emerging grand challenges. A second vein of Janet’s research seeks to identify the social and cultural impacts of technological choices made by engineers in the process of designing and creating new devices and systems. Her work considers the intentional and unintentional consequences of durable struc- tures, products, architectures, and standards in engineering education, to pinpoint areas for transformative change.Alyssa Miranda Boll, Colorado

the ability to conduct research are needed. The majority of tenure-trackfaculty jobs include duties related to teaching, research, mentoring and service. A 2001 surveyby Golde and Dore noted that noted 82% of the graduate student respondents identifiedenjoyment of teaching as being what attracted them to academia as a career [16]. However, 52%of the respondents indicated that they did not learn about teaching during their graduate studies.These results along with other factors have led to pleas for national educational councils [17],[18] to improve undergraduate STEM teaching. The implication is that by improving training inteaching, the number, diversity, and quality of STEM graduates would increase.Goals and approachThe specific goals of

Traditionally in CEM education, the project-based learning approach hasbeen widely used for CEM courses.Kajewski 32 proposed a PBL course called ‘Professional Studies.’ The course emphasizedstudent-centered and self-directed learning. The course was divided into several units, each unitincluded one problem, and students were forced to solve the problem through research andcollaboration. McIntyre 33 applied the PBL approach into a capstone course to provide studentsreal-world design and construction practices. In addition to these, there have been some attemptsto integrate the PBL approach into CEM education 34

The research focus may be in advanced information and communications technology,environmental-friendly construction, innovative construction technologies and innovativeconstruction business processes. Research into innovative materials, novel constructiontechnologies, advanced analysis and design of facilities, collaboration, client satisfaction,constructability, TQM, knowledge management, innovative procurement practices, organization,value engineering, IT integration, energy conservation, pollution control and reuse/recycling ofconstruction material will have a significant impact on minimizing potential threats from bothhuman and national forces
relationship between knowledge gained and students’ perception of theimpact of sustainable design and construction options. Findings also indicate how perceptionscompare between population groups, such as students of architecture and students ofconstruction. Students seem to be best equipped to explain their understanding of the listedoptions based on their experiences. Such research outcomes can help educators better toimplement SDC into respective curricula in the future. In addition, analysis of these perceptionsis a crucial tool for educators in improving students’ understanding of sustainability goals.Keywords: Sustainable Design and Construction; SDC teaching; curriculum development;Architecture; Construction Management, Sustainability, Student

However, at presentsuitable IoT-centric curricula that addresses this need are not readily availble2 and to date veryfew IoT curricula have been proposed in the research literature. In some instances, it has beensuggested to introduce IoT as a graduate course that focuses predominately on networkingprinciples3.

An Improved Instrumentation and Controls Course for Agricultural and Biological Engineering George E. Meyer Biological Systems Engineering, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583-0726AbstractModern biological, biomedical, and agricultural systems use electronic sensors, instrumentation,and computers for acquisition of scientific data and for process control. Instrumentation is used forcommercial product development, testing, and for research.

The basic format of an impromptu speech was modified to focus on specificareas of need identified in earlier teaching experience (instructional assistant for the graduate Page 26.1496.9level research communication course).

Learning Object Exchange (CLOE), a collaborative project of several universities inOntario, establishing an infrastructure for joint development of multimedia-rich, interactivelearning resources. Since development of such resources is very time-consuming, one of theemerging trends in instructional technology is to focus on modular learning objects that can beshared among many users. Surveys of faculty confirm high interest in utilization of such objects.The module being developed by the authors consists of a series of interactive online tutorials. Itis designed using Flash and streaming video technology and provides graphics, video, andanimation to support the basic concepts. At any time the learner has access to several reviewquizzes, providing

Some booksfeature a programming language for instrumentation and controls. Examples are Khalid (2000),Olansen and Rosow (2002), Travis and Kring (2006), and Khoo (1999). Many text books dependon the student’s background to understand the material presented. A new text book beingcompleted by the author also provides the student of this discipline an opportunity to understandand gain practical experience with modern measurement equipment, data acquisition, and digitalcontrol systems. The course assumes that the student is a junior, senior pre-engineer, or afirst–year graduate
assembly line is to incorporatepractices seen in manufacturing operations to help demonstrate how manufacturing systems aremanaged in the real world. Some of the manufacturing practices illustrated in this project includematerial handling and lean manufacturing. Specifically, the manufacturing operation for the sportscar model was designed to incorporate lean manufacturing elements into the assembly lineoperations. The most significant lean process highlighted in this project is implementing a Kanbanreplenishment system for the sports car model. Figure 4 demonstrates how the Kanbanreplenishment systems work. This figure illustrates that every part bin for the sports car model wastagged with a Kanban replenishment card. This card contains

ABET, the European Network forEngineering Education (ENAEE), and the Federation of Engineering Institutions in Asia and thePacific (FEIAP) highlight the need for engineers to recognize and account for the impacts ofengineering practice and design in broad contexts that impact human and environmentalconditions throughout their guidelines. ABET (2021) mandates that engineering graduates have“an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs withconsideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,environmental, and economic factors,” and “an ability to recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must

It is integrated in courses, programs, and service learning and crosscurricular initiatives. “PBL is learning that best be an active and contextualized process”allowing students to actively construct their own knowledge and apply it, rather than the passiveexposure of knowledge via the traditional lecture model (Maurer and Neuhold, 2012).

This introduction includes probing questions designed to gauge student comprehension and promote lesson engagement. 2) A multimedia presentation follows, delivered by engineering graduate and undergraduate student mentors. The presentation further elaborates on concepts from the STEM lesson and the relationship of these
changing the students’ understandings and acceptance of the need for continuousprofessional development. The students also felt that the knowledge, values and skills theydeveloped would be beneficial for their future careers, as they were developed within thecontext of their own professional development, rather than to just get through the course.IntroductionProfessional development is a major part of all practicing engineers’ working lives. It is vitalto be up to date with best practice, learning new techniques and knowledge, developing newskills and furthering their understanding of their responsibilities as engineers. What engineerslearn at university in their undergraduate program will not give them all the knowledge,values and skills they
