The two primary objectives of the GEP are to provide students with asound academic preparation for engineering study and to give them an opportunity to Page 13.913.3explore various engineering fields. Most students spend two to three semesters in thiscore curriculum as they learn the basic tools and fundamentals of engineering[3] whilebeing introduced via departmental presentations to the various engineering disciplinesthat are available on campus. As part of its overall mission, the GEP offers generaladvising, career counseling and engineering education.Students who leave the GEP and choose NOT to

intricate problems that maybe challenging for typical algorithms in the traditional engineering curriculum. With theexplosive proliferation of embedded systems, and the IoT, controlling complex actuators andsensors in real time is increasingly feasible. Many engineering applications generate vastamounts of data, and deep learning algorithms are effective at recognizing patterns andextracting meaningful insights from these large datasets [5]. Thus, an appreciation of deeplearning methods will contribute to better engineering decision-making processes [6]. Inaddition, deep learning enables better automation, optimization, and control [7]. From designoptimization to production planning, engineers can leverage deep learning to streamlineworkflows and

University remedies range from social eventsand student organization activities to academic-related growth opportunities and curriculumimprovements down to an individual course level. Mathematics skill building, particularly inengineering and engineering technology majors, is of paramount importance but often left to thestandard mathematics course sequence. This article presents a course-level approach that engagesstudents through solving engineering problems using mathematics in a more practical way. Theapproach is to (i) reveal common mathematical challenges arising in science and engineeringproblems from various fields; (ii) present the problem solution leading to a common mathematicsformulation (e.g., a

The curriculum subcommittee of CAP3 is working on thesegregation of responsibilities in the educational component of the BOK; that is, whichcomponents will be fulfilled by a traditional bachelor’s program and which will be acquired bythe civil engineer beyond the bachelor’s degree (i.e., B + M/30). Preliminary discussions withinthat committee indicate that the only addition to the BOK expected of the master’s degree orequivalent is outcome 12: “specialized area of civil engineering.” This outcome requiressignificant depth in one area of civil engineering to the ability level

engineering curriculum at a public university.Over the academic years 2004-2008, an average of 30 core required engineering courses havehad S-L projects each year. The hypothesis is that because the students would see with S-L moredirectly how engineering can improve the lives of those in the local and internationalcommunity, they would be more motivated to enter and stay in engineering and try to learn thesubject matter better. In terms of recruitment, S-L is advertized to prospective students as thenumber two reason to come to the college (number one is value). Twenty-two percent of firstyear students at the end of their first semester reported that S-L was one of the reasons forcoming to the college, roughly the same as the 24% in December 2007

In the spring modules are built and tested,integrated, iterated, then the project finally undergoes an acceptance test. While the V-model isintuitive for those with design experience, as a project management model it does not accuratelythe reflect the actual and iterative work of design so it needs to be implemented flexibly and withsignificant scaffolding.Because capstone courses can be very time-intensive for faculty, the instructors have developed asignificant amount of scaffolding over time using an action-based research approach [4] (seenext section). This has resulted in a “hands-off” approach where students have responsibility formost project decisions. While

As a result of the curriculum revision that hasrecently been implemented, students in the electrical emphasis have a number of class-electivesin their senior year. In the first semester the class chooses between Analog Circuit Design andDigital Signal Processing. This year's senior class was the first to have this choice and theydecided to go digital, inaugurating the full-semester offering of DSP.

Nepantla is the state where perspectives about family,economy, society, and education among others come into conflict. “These are moments ofcritical awareness, when someone starts to see things from different and new perspectives” (p.135).12 Thus, through this sociocultural framework, Latinx adolescents can be

An Applied Approach to Technical EducationOne of the newly adopted approaches in technical education to address the above-mentionedgrowing problems is the use of case studies. One may ask the following question here: Why usecase studies in technical education? And the answer is: because case studies have been proven tobe effective teaching tools in many fields ranging from business and finance to medical. Theyallow the student to use his/her critical thinking, problem solving, and logic reasoning abilities.Collaborative education and teamwork can be used effectively in case studies.

One, as the students spend a disproportionateamount of time using analytical solutions, they are more likely to recall instances where theirknowledge was limited. Conversely, good programming technique is not utilized heavily in thecore curriculum, so they do not have the chance to continuously struggle with new material, andthus have an inflated sense of knowledge concerning the material. Another reason could be that,it is possible that the coding-heavy nature of the course enabled the students to remember goodprogramming practices, and this is reflected in the subsequent semesters.
