These criteria attach significance to thequality of experience the elderly have when interacting with the design, and their psychologicalsatisfaction through combined human computer interaction (HCI) with participatory design [17].Integrating immersive technologies and game engines with BIM can offer design professionalsmore than just the virtual mockup and digital representation. Clients can dive into the virtualenvironment to simulate experiential space interactions through self-guided or automated virtualwalkthrough, perform interactive tasks and provide designers with meaningful real-timefeedback on spatial quality, design comprehension and satisfaction [17, 16].Recently, BIM and game engine has also been broadly integrated in pedagogical

By working through designchallenges from several popular Engineering Teaching Kits, participants will gain experiencewith the engineering design process, observe how the design challenges incorporate learning ofrelevant scientific and mathematics principles, and learn the concepts and tools that will enablethem to develop and incorporate engineering design challenges into their own curriculum. Theselearning objectives will be addressed through team-based design activities.

Benefits of Studies for Undergraduate StudentsElectrospinning has a straightforward process that allows for the production of ultrafinepolymeric nanofibers in a relatively short period of time. Two female undergraduate students inthe Department of Mechanical Engineering at Wichita State University (WSU) were involved inthe present electrospinning study. Involving undergraduates with current university researchallows them to learn new technologies, techniques, procedures, and gain crucial skills and newknowledge about the novel research processes. In this research, students learned productions,characterization and applications of electrospun nanomaterials. The students realized that

Research to Practice K-12 Engineering Resources: Best Practices in Curriculum DesignAbstractThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of a curriculum design-based (CDB)professional development model on K-12 teachers’ engineering knowledge, attitudes, andbehaviors. This teacher professional development approach differs from other training programswhere teachers learn how to use a standard curriculum and adopt it in their classrooms. In a CDBprofessional development model teachers actively design lessons, student resources, andassessments for their classroom instruction. In other science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) disciplines, CDB professional development has been reported to (a)position teachers as
Engineering Foundations and a two-course sequence called Engineering Models I and II, which introduces students to computing as atool for solving engineering problems, through the use of MATLAB®. All three courses arerequired for all engineering and engineering technology majors, are 2 credit hours, and meetonce a week for lecture (55 minutes) and once a week for recitation (2 hours). In a previouslypublished paper at ASEE, it was shown that these courses had a positive impact on studentretention from the first to second year.7Another approach is to get students out into the workforce as early as possible to allow them toopportunity to experience the direct application of engineering in a real-world context.

of institution to a level not known before because of the coursetransfer issues. Over time this allows for a particularly strong sense of trust to be developedamong collaboratives, as expanded upon below. Curriculum formulation in support ofengineering education, to an ABET approved level, necessitates faculty professionaldevelopment for science, mathematics and technology instructors as well as the “rare”engineering instructor on staff at the TCU. These levels of interaction eventually strengthensindividual collaborations between academics in the program, which heightens concern for thestudents on either side of the transition process. Additional benefits also accrue to the TCUs byavoiding the most costly segment of engineering education

current national focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) ineducation has created an apt moment for research on factors that can improve STEM instruction.In November 2009, President Barack Obama declared an “all-hands-on-deck” directive toimprove STEM education in America2. This mandate came from the recognition that STEMfields are “highly-paid, highly-rewarding fields” (both personally and nationally) and that ourstudents are now in the “middle of the pack” globally in STEM subjects (p.1). President Obamalaid out a list of four priorities to improve STEM education including the recruitment of 100,000new and effective STEM teachers, the closing of the achievement gap in STEM education,increased funding for STEM education, and
