In ‘tailored instruction’, the course syllabus will bere-organized into an integrated modular concept format where complex engineering conceptswill be presented as networked sub concepts in a web interface, creating a virtual neural space.Each of these networked concepts and sub-concepts will be further linked to several learningtools such as animations, short concept lecture videos (4-6 minute duration) and mandatedstudent activities that are designed leveraging latest insights from established theories of neuroand cognitive science with the help of a number of PROTOCOLs. PROTOCOLs are systematicbrain based learning principles to be followed while delivering a new concept
assignment. While this was an anecdotal observation then, it has beenrepeatedly made. The time students are willing to spend on these assignments is such thatassignments are spaced out over the semester because other classes need to have access to thecomputer lab. For our resources and curriculum about seven assignments as presented here arepossible.The data in Figure 9 b) strongly suggests a student’s performance, as measured by class average,improved during the last 12 weeks of the semester as compared to the first four weeks. The firstfour weeks are review of previous materials with little new material, while the following twelveweeks include the introduction of curved beam theory, energy methods, shear flow, shear centers,unsymmetrical bending
.3 The reasons for this difficulty may vary, and are not extensively studied,but they may be in part due to the need to integrate students’ knowledge of differential equationswith the engineering material that is presented. This is extremely important, however, and is infact part of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) objectives forengineering programs (A. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science andengineering, as well as K. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering toolsnecessary for engineering practice).4The development of the lab component of the course is subject to evaluation and improvement;evaluation of the lab is carried out through evaluation of students’ performance

from instances like the Toilet Challenge. To put trained andqualified engineers out into the world, it is necessary to supplement engineering education withculturally aware project-based curriculum. In ensuring global impact, meshing together thetechnical, social and cultural aspects of an engineer’s humanitarian effort is crucial.However, this is not frequently seen in the context of engineering projects with the internationalcommunity. The need for these specific skills and research is even more integral in the study ofstigmatized, or taboo, topics that engineers may find themselves addressing in their projects,where the approach can be key to the success of an intervention. Taboo issues consist of acts thatare considered to be forbidden

Students simulate, breadboard, and measure theperformance of a variety of AM radio building blocks (various amplifiers, detectors, etc.) ontheir way towards building a functional radio. The course has a common Monday lecturefollowed by a 2-hour lab section meeting later in the week. It is not tied to a specific class; itdraws from and integrates concepts from several electrical engineering courses. An advantage tothis approach is that students can more

. However, for meaningful engineering activities to beincluded in these courses, professional development for science teachers must be offered. Theliterature describes a variety of teacher workshops that employ several different approaches andfoci. The strategy most similar to the one focused on here is one by Custer et al., a recent effortto assist teachers in infusing engineering activities into physical and life science courses. Theypoint out that this particular approach to integration between science and engineering is “largelya new undertaking” with currently a small research base.3The current paper describes the initial offering of an engineering infusion workshop aimed at aparticular population of high school physical science teachers
real-world process orsystem over time." Furthermore, in designing new systems, a simulation experiment would helpdesigners run various scenarios to select the optimal alternative among the others. In some casesit may be possible to study the real system and to modify it to observe any change in the systemoutput(s), for example, examining the impact of increasing the number of automated check-inkiosks on reducing passengers’ waiting time in airports [2]. However, in some other situations, forinstance, in emergency rooms, it is not an appropriate approach to make changes in the system.Simulation courses have been part of the Industrial Engineering curriculum since the 90’s.Simulation courses have been offered in traditional Industrial
,whether that be in industry, academia, or clinical settings7,10,11.We propose to connect student learning to engineering practice by interweaving a grandchallenge problem throughout multiple courses and experiences in the curriculum. Byinterweaving the problem throughout the undergraduate curriculum beginning freshman year, wetreat student engagement and retention as a process instead of an event4. To implement thisconcept, we developed the Cancer Scholars Program (CSP), a challenge-inspired experiencefocused on an overarching societal problem: cancer. Traditionally, students learn engineeringskills in isolated coursework without a connection to real-world problems, facilitating loss ofinterest. Additionally, students are rarely exposed to co
materials, we are also currently developing webcasts that present the mostimportant ideas from each unit in a more engaging format.4.2 Use of the MaterialsThe project materials are designed for flexibility in several ways. They can be integrated at anylevel of the curriculum, matching units to students' level of engineering knowledge. Currentimplementations have begun as early as a first-semester Introduction to Engineering course andas late as the final term in senior capstone courses. One university is using the materials as thebasis for a curriculum-wide writing-in-the-disciplines program. We believe that adoption in eachyear of the curriculum will enhance effectiveness because students will be continuously exposedto writing principles

et al 11found that the variables contributing most to the likelihood of integrating technology werepositive experiences, comfort with the strategy, belief that the strategy was a valuableinstructional tool, and personal efficacy. Researchers have also highlighted the conflict ofintrinsic motivation with external costs as predictors of implementation.12, 13 Ertmer referred toexternal costs such as hardware and external support as first-order barriers, but found thatsecond-order barriers were more often the gatekeepers of implementation. Second order barriersinclude factors such as belief in success and confidence in the effectiveness of a strategy.In general, implementation of an educational reform often meets limited success for one or
multiple disciplines, the integration of stakeholder considerations into the engineering design process, and mixed methods research designs.Dr. Cliff I.

dynamics is a foundational course that forms the basis for much of the MEcurriculum in the mechanical systems area. Unlike many introductory dynamics classes whereonly planar rigid-body dynamics is covered, the class taught at Georgia Tech is relativelychallenging as it covers up through three-dimensional rigid body dynamics and work-energy,within a 3-credit-hour format. The class is required for the BSME degree and follows uponprerequisite courses on calculus-based Physics I, integral calculus, and Statics. The course is adirect prerequisite to several other classes in the curriculum including System Dynamics, and FluidMechanics, which are in turn pre-requisites to other courses such as Measurements andInstrumentation Lab, ME Systems Laboratory

education.12 In literature, themost popular way of integrating real-world problem solving, especially in multidisciplinaryteams, seems to be through capstone design courses. As of 2005, roughly 35% of undergraduatecapstone design projects were conducted in multidisciplinary teams of students (an increase from21% in 1994).6 Evidence has shown, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that students benefitgreatly from working in multidisciplinary settings. Survey results show that engineeringprofessionals associate interdisciplinary thinking with creativity in their peers and ratemultidisciplinary work as very important in preparation for industry.7 Similarly, students whoparticipated in a multidisciplinary capstone course identified functioning in a

Additionally, success within an organization for newcomers is predicated on one’s abilityto be integrated into the organization (learning departmental norms, behaviors, and even politicallandscapes and becoming a part of the organization) present within the workplace, a process thatcan occur concurrently with organizational programming as a means to socialize newcomers totheir new setting. Organizational integration can manifest in aspects such as levels oforganizational acculturation, familiarity and recognitions of other members, and involvement ofthe organizational life (Myers & Oetzel, 2003). Organizational acculturation can be indicated bya development of a
