. Section 3 presents the development of the seminar and theworkshop (Tablet Faculty Learning Community). The seminar was presented in April of 2010and the workshop/faculty learning community was conducted over a 10 week period during thesummer semester of 2010. Section 4 discusses the authors’ experiences presenting the seminarand leading the workshop. Some conclusions and future direction are discussed in section 5.2. Background InformationA tablet PC is a laptop or notebook that has a screen capable of pen based input. Interest in thepotential use of tablet PCs as an educational tool began in earnest in the early 2000’s. Aspointed out by Joel Backon, “Tablet PCs merge the productivity improvement afforded by PCtechnology with the fundamental

While the new minimum enrolment numbers aid in reducing operatingcosts and assists with balancing the budget, they may negatively impact a student‟s educationopportunities because senior level specialized courses will be cancelled due to minimum classenrollment requirements or will only be offered sporadically. This paper describes howutilization of existing academic cooperation nationally and internationally, and the use oftechnology could allow universities to offer such courses while reducing operating expense.Many institutions have built extensive partnerships for student and faculty exchanges orresearch

Thepurpose of the research is to address these expectations by developing learning modules thatincorporate lean simulation models into various Engineering Management, IndustrialEngineering, and Mechanical Engineering courses at Missouri S&T, Texas Tech, and SouthDakota State, respectively. In recent years, increasing global competition, rapidly changingtechnology, and a deficit of U.S. engineering graduates have intensified the need to producegraduating engineers who are effective problem solvers and analytical thinkers, yet who can alsocollaborate on interdisciplinary teams to address complex, real-world systems.

through the use of LEGO-based engineering robotics. The motivation forthis study was derived from Schunn‟s work but is different in that the measurement ofproportional reasoning was purposefully planned and included a sample size of thirty students,including a control group.Norton (2006) used a LEGO-robotics context to investigate the mathematics learning of 46seventh grade students. He found that (a) the LEGO-robotics activities afforded learningopportunities that also reinforced social relationships, (b) explicit scaffolding was needed bysome students to achieve the mathematics learning, and (c) many students were able todemonstrate greater than expected mathematics and science learning.

Alumni with this degree have reportedsatisfaction with the content of their education and enjoy successful careers. However since fewof the other college of engineering programs embraced the degree, the degree was terminated inthe late 1990’s. At this point, the department created an Engineering Management Option withinour program by securing an agreement with the College of Business to provide two MBAcourses that could be taken by our students. These two courses provided finance andmanagement instruction to engineering students but did not require prerequisites normal to otherMBA curricula. Ensuing retirements and budgetary issues

The paper goeson to point out that taking a pedagogy course and serving a teaching internship during graduateschool closely parallels the procedures used to prepare graduate students to do research.
