Programs mayinclude faculty taking students abroad and delivering course(s) in the host country in which thestudents are studying. The abroad experience can be a continuation of a course taught on campusand/or a team taught course where U.S.-based and the host foreign country’s students aregrouped to work on a project during the semester and then come together at the end. Whateverthe iteration, faculty-led opportunities ease many traditional fears and significantly impact theinternationalization process. First, faculty who
Engineering Ambassadors, who need advanced training beyond what weprovide at the workshop. We have started to address this by testing advanced training sessionsfor seasoned ambassadors at the workshop. We plan to continue refining this and creating onlinemodules to carry students beyond the workshop. Continuing collaboration and conversations among members after the workshop can alsobe challenging. The advisors and the Engineering Ambassadors are extremely busy and focusedon their program operations. Finding more ways for cross-university collaboration is animportant goal for the coming year. There is also a balance between letting member programsgrow and develop their own character, while also maintaining the trademarks of the

Organize, plan, and manage a long term engineering project within a team environment. 3. Identify and communicate the value of a design in terms of economic, professional, personal, and societal value. 4. Translate customer feedback into design specifications. 5.

In thepast, this level of lab activity complexity was not achievable due to the lack of sufficient timewhen the dedicated DSP platform was adopted for laboratory coursework. For the same reason,the additional learning outcomes #4 and #7 had been planned in the curriculum for several years,but only become attainable after the MCU platform was used.Figure 1 shows the relationships among the lab coursework and the targeted learning outcomes.

student groups were never profitable but were able to reduce their losses significantly inthe second round. In the second round, it was observed that many of the students had learned thevalue of planning, forecasting, and managing risk when determining the size and source ofinventory replenishment orders. To this end, they applied logic and math in an effort to improvetheir decision-making. For example, one team purchased their entire inventory from California inthe first round, which helped them reduce their total material cost. However, the late arrival ofthe shipment in the third week prevented them from satisfying customer demand in weeks oneand two. As a result, at the end of the week five, the team was left with a large amount of

Capability and Innovation Evolution of Student Learning in EOS To sum up, the authors believe domain capability, innovative skills (i.e., CDIO andSCAMPER), and self-awareness of learning motivation are essential for the product ofcreativity. For the learning motivation, we completed a survey using Day ReconstructionMethod (DRM) in 2014. We plan to design an enhancement of the motive building in CIM in2018. Then, we would like to compare the DRM results of 2014 and 2018 to make CIM moreapplicable for the system engineering education.Reference[1] Huang, Y.L., Cheng, C.Y., Lin, S.S.J., “CIM: Capability-Innovation-Motive

Included in this measure is astudent’s level of organization, scheduling, and planning. Time management can range fromsetting aside a night for studying to weekly and monthly scheduling. Study environment refers tothe setting where the student studies for class work. The ideal study environment for a student isorganized and free from distractions.

avoided by students. Turing Machines are mathematical models ofcomputation, which present some special challenges in teaching-learning environments, becausein addition to visual representations, some coded representations are also needed for importanttasks such as proofs [6, 13, 37]. Some of the multiple representations of Turing Machines are not asintuitive as visual representations and they involve additional work [6, 14]. Engaging students withmultiple representations of Turing Machines can be planned in a way that provides an initialintuitive understanding of the concepts through visual representation, and then more complexideas can be built with other representations. That is, complex concepts need to be developed ina progressive manner

In addition, longer term effects of the current videos willbe assessed.

It is important to recognize that everyone has benefited from nativeengineering practices (e.g., wildlife population monitoring, ecological relationships, sustainableharvesting practices, and canoe or snowshoe artifacts that were quickly adapted by Europeansettlers), which in some instances were taken from indigenous communities by violent means orthrough genocide.

establish an AP Engineeringcourse for American high school students have come many questions about the legitimacy ofsuch a plan. Questions about what to teach, how to grade student work and how to train teachersare some of the most prevalent. One universal question posed is: Can high school teachers, mostof whom are not engineers, effectively teach a college level introduction to engineering course? In this paper, we will examine longitudinal data documenting the success of the UA dual creditcourse, ENGR 102 HS. We will specifically tease out teacher effectiveness in relation to years inservice, and teacher/student gender match. Finally, we will examine teacher education comparingthose meeting the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) guidelines and
machine design presented in this paper willbenefit technicians, electricians, and manufacturing workers by providing a user- friendly and low-cost efficient device that will accurately and efficiently cut one wire. The automated industrialwire cutting machine also decreases manual labor; as a result, it increases productivity.There are cost-effective ways to improve this prototype that can increase productivity even moresignificantly. Even though the machine prototype was only able to cut and strip one wire at a time,it is more accurate and efficient than most machines in the market at a fraction of the price. Asmentioned in the future work section there is a plan to make it a 4-wire machine that will beat anycompetitor in the market. It is hoped

DIVERSE MINDSAbstract:The use of course management systems have resulted in a growing trend among faculty to provide studentswith course materials to augment lectures. This can include lecture notes, example problems orsupplementary reading. In engineering courses, instructor-provided notes are often handwritten -- even inonline courses. There is an assumption that handwritten notes are preferred by students and have apedagogical benefit over typed notes.Access to course materials for students with disabilities is also improving due to advancements in bothtechnology and awareness. Students with disabilities often receive custom accommodation plans for coursework when the original class format does not adequately support their learning. In courses
the lab course or have prior experience in orderto have a better chance of succeeding. Both prior programming experience and lab enrollmentprovide additional practice to students, which in turn increases ability in programming andperformance in the course overall.7. RecommendationsThe student’s ability to choose to take their programming course with or without lab grants thestudent more options when planning their college experience, allowing for a more effectivecourse load. For example, we find that students with prior programming experience who alsoenrolled in the lab did not perform much better than those with experience who did not enroll inlab. Therefore, if a student has prior knowledge in programming, they can be advised that the
