The questions were on a 5-point Likert scale with 1 representingstrongly disagree and 5 representing strongly agree. An ANOVA was run for each item, andstatistical significance between means, was found for all of the survey items. These responsesprovide evidence that students perceived the RVD 2 course (and RVD 1 course), including thelaboratory gaming component, to be of significant value in their engineering education.

The ability toread the kernel’s global data makes them ideal for student projects that examine global datastructures to more closely observe the behavior of the operating system. These projects typicallyonly read the data, so the stability of the system is maintained.With the introduction of the bachelor degree in Computer Systems Technology, Kansas StateUniversity at Salina offered an operating systems class for the first time in the fall 2004semester. From the initial planning of the class, the laboratory programming projects were aprimary concern. It was felt that programming projects using real operating systems would beperceived as more relevant
components and trace the reaction ofholonic control for finding delivery routes, repairing workstations and dynamically updating theproduction schedules.Implementation of a ‘Virtual Reality-Based Holonic Manufacturing System (VR-HMS)’ inAgile Manufacturing Laboratory EducationThe VR-HMS module has been designed and developed for use as a visual demonstration andlaboratory support tool for teaching various multidisciplinary topics related to agilemanufacturing, including holonic manufacturing systems. The module has been used forteaching engineering students the theory and the operating principles of HMS and MAS throughinteractive demonstrations and the standalone experiments in the virtual environment.The VR-HMS provides several distinguished
notes and exercises, laboratory experiences (joining, physical testing, and metalography),and assignments.This progress report will focus on all aspects of this newly developed course including pedagogy,course content, and course structure. Results of course assessments and continuous improvementwill also be presented.Motivation and Need for CourseBefore introducing the details of the course, it is felt that one needs to better understand themotivation for creating a new upper level course. In this section of the paper the motivation forchanging undergraduate engineering will be reviewed. This section concludes by demonstratingthat there is currently a need to change the upper level courses. “Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for

The CpE program was patched together using existing CpS- and EE-coded courses and had no distinctive qualities.3. Through the internal self study, the following areas were identified as having deficiencies warranting academic-program revisions: a. Use of high-level languages in the curriculum; b. Formal integration of hardware-software issues; c. Use of contemporary engineering design tools; and d. Major engineering design experience.4. The two electrical-engineering laboratories that serviced the CpE program were outdated.5. Only weak interactions existed between the employers of CpE graduates and the CpE faculty.6. Only weak

I soon found similarities among the course descriptions and curriculum charts.The topics listed in the standard engineering courses were much like ours - not surprising with theuse of standard textbooks and software.Not so apparent is an emphasis on applied engineering skills that increases as you go from Canada toMexico. In fact, Mexican universities feel that one of their strengths is a comparatively highpercentage of faculty members who teach and work in industry. This is viewed as a positive featurein the preparation of graduates for jobs in Mexico’s “productive sector.” While this approach favorsindustry, it slows faculty development in Mexican universities. Even some

For example, in 2018 the midterms were each counted as 15% of the final grade when thelaboratory grade of 25% was considered, but without the 25% laboratory grade, the midtermswould be worth 15% ∙ 100% 100% 75% 20%Flipped Instructional Mode (2019)In 2019, the instructional mode was flipped, so that students watched pre-recorded video lecturesprior to class, and spent a majority of class time working in small groups of 2 – 3 students tocomplete active-learning exercises with the help of the instructor and several teaching assistants.The video lectures were animated, voiced-over PowerPoint slides created specifically for theclass by the instructor and based on the chalkboard lectures given from 2014

Since ABET accreditationis primarily outcome base, the author reviewed with the faculty and administrator how courselevel assessment could be transformed to a program level outcome system.Assessment as the Basis for Outcome Based AccreditationAssessment is the process by which evidence for congruence between a program’s stated goalsand objectives and the actual outcomes of its programs and activities is assembled andanalyzed in order to improve teaching and learning 2. Although classroom teachers have beentesting students on their mastery of subject matters for centuries, there is a growing concernthat

Each teacher received afuel cell car kit for participating in the workshop. The car was assembled before the workshop;therefore, workshop time was not devoted to the assembly of the car. The development of theworkshop materials was guided by the National Science Teachers Association teachingstandards2 and the Alabama Science and Math Curriculum Standards3 for middle schoolteachers. The national science teaching standards supported by the National Science TeachersAssociation were produced by the National Research Council4 in 1995 and published in 1996.The workshop activities alternated

The program must demonstrate that faculty teaching courses that are primarilyengineering design in content are qualified to teach the subject matter by virtue of professional licensure, or byeducation and design experience. It must also demonstrate that the majority of the faculty members teachingarchitectural design courses are qualified to teach the subject matter by virtue of professional licensure, or byeducation and design experience.There were several reasons for revising the program criteria. The ABET general criteria haveevolved over the past decade and the program criteria have not been re-examined

However, many educators are concerned with the “learning outcomes” ofsuch non-traditional courses and quite often the perception of both the faculty and students is thatthese time-shortened courses some how lack the academic rigor of the more traditional courses.This paper addresses the teaching techniques for intensive courses, the use of such courses in theconstruction discipline, and the student and faculty perceptions of these courses.I.

The aim of the scheme is not to provide textbook answers to set problems or even to provide formal supplementary teaching, rather it isthe peer tutor’s job to act as a focus for the group and thereby make it work for itself. Morespecifically, the group provides a supportive environment for new students to: test out theirunderstanding of difficult concepts introduced in lectures; gain confidence in dealing with thevolume and complexity of material; use the staff run tutorial system effectively; take moreresponsibility for their own learning; encourage co-operative problem

Moreover, teaching iscommonly defined as time spent in the classroom involved in the traditional lecture format
