Inaddition, we present the curriculum for Technical Communications as open-source content, withthe intention that others will adopt and modify elements of this novel GS course. The results ofthis study may be of interest to other programs seeking to create an early-years technicalcommunications course that features situated industry experiences and engages students incommunication strategies used in the workplace.MethodsCurricular DesignTechnical Communications was designed as a standalone course for first-year mechanicalengineering students, to

With the knowledgethat students submit work within 48 hours of the due date and to reduce server load, due dateswere moved to correspond with the student’s lab day and set to 11:59pm that night, which givesthem three lab periods to work on an assignment if they fall behind. A late submission period wasalso instituted with a 30% penalty for the following Monday at 11:59pm.ConclusionThe course transformation and software infrastructure described in this paper represents a stepforward in the development of a digital enterprise curriculum that emphasizes data management.Not only has our approach moved the needle in terms of level of understanding of how CAD andPDM fit into the

When this game attribute and its induced student behaviors arealigned to complement learning outcomes (e.g. completing supplemental learning activities,participating during class), instructors and meta-studies over the past decade have demonstratedthat these pedagogical approaches can also enhance how students cognitively, emotionally, andsocially experience class content[12, 13].

It is essential for students to receive exposure to multiple technicaldisciplines so they can broaden their vision of engineering overall [2]. Typically, schools requirestudents to take engineering elective courses outside their primary engineering major, therebyfostering connections with other engineering domains. Electives present an excellent opportunityfor students to showcase their talents, cultivate new interests, and develop additional abilities [3],[4].
