In this paper, weelaborate the detail content of our introductory computer architecture & assembly languagecourse and the teaching strategies and analyze its outcome.IntroductionComputer engineering and computer science fields are expanding in all directions. All the subjectareas have grown and new subject areas have been added. Since, there are a limited number ofcourses that can be included in a curriculum model; some of the existing courses will have to bedropped to introduce new ones. As software applications become more complex, more industriesuse high level languages. The
curriculum.2.3 ME 290: 3-D “Integrated Course” in Engineering DesignThe desire to ease the curriculum at USAFA, especially for the 160-semester hour MechanicalEngineers, was the driving force to move CAD back into the sophomore level design course. Adowngrade in software performance was not acceptable and an expansion of the course wasobjectionable. This dilemma birthed a compromise: award an additional credit hour (4 vs. 3) byadding a 2nd hour laboratory to this already time intensive course and teach only the 3-D solid-modeling software (neglecting GD&T) to include drafting and assembly creation. The context ofthe original course could then be used to develop software and design skills concurrently. Due to

It is an essential part of engineering education that teaches by demonstrating the utility ofmany important technical skills such as electronics, communications, controls as well as soft skillssuch as teamwork, leadership, communication, timeliness, economic impacts. The author developeda systems engineering course called, Spacecraft Systems Engineering, to educate the students insystems engineering concepts. This was a multidisciplinary course with electrical engineering andmechanical engineering students. Satellites consist of mechanical, electrical, and computer-relatedcomponents, so the students will naturally learned the multi-disciplinary nature of the engineering.The topics included systems engineering methods & process

Their discussion centered around thecollaboration between STEM and Arts faculty to bring students from different disciplinestogether to work on interdisciplinary projects. Shortly after, the group began to use the name“Co-Lab” for collaborative laboratory. The first project with two students was completed in2009, and since that time, there have been typically three to four projects

In response tothese concerns, the AIChE Education Division developed a series of Virtual Communities ofPractice open to all chemical engineering faculty members regardless of career phase, title,tenure status, or other classifications. This paper will highlight the genesis of the AIChEEducation Division’s VCP program and describe its impact on faculty members’ professionaldevelopment during the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials and MethodsCreating a virtual community
