American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Integrating Professional Mentorship with a 3D Printing Curriculum to Help Rural Youth Forge STEM Career ConnectionsIntroductionYouth residing in mountain tourist communities represent an important and underserved ruralpopulation. Science, engineering, and computing are hidden within the daily
case. In the last 8 years a new generationof dimensionally-driven, feature-based modeling packages have entered the marketplace. The tools of design have changed and we aseducators must provide some level of instruction in their use. The challenge becomes to include such information in a formatappropriate to a four year engineering program. This paper will discuss techniques for accomplishing this goal and provide suggestionsfor other institutions which plan to integrate such software into their curriculum. A relatively new course offering within the Universityof Wisconsin - Madison, Department of Mechanical Engineering will be used as a model.Introduction Prior to the advancements made in computer technology (both hardware and

Detailed pictures of circuit throughout its build are clearlyrepresented in the screen images and further descriptions of components are included. Forexample, this particular circuit utilizes a 555-timer integrated circuit for which simulations areembedded in this assembly ‘manual’. Page 12.939.2Students also work in teams on interdisciplinary design projects and continue to use Tablets forsimilar tasks but in an ad hoc manner. For example, as part of their design projects some of theteam
and expertise within the Industrial & ManufacturingEngineering and Business (IMEB) Department at Kettering University is metrology. In order todevelop metrology education at Kettering University a team of IMEB faculty members withdiverse interests and backgrounds was formed in 1995 and has been collaboratively workingtogether to improve the metrology laboratory since then. The missions of the metrologylaboratory are to provide students/faculty with opportunities of using modern metrological tools,integrate metrology into IMEB curriculum, support other manufacturing engineeringlaboratories, and provide an advanced undergraduate research environment for the KetteringUniversity academic community. The team received an equipment grant award
in ElectricalEngineering (BSEE) curriculum has a required course in microprocessors and the prerequisitesare courses in structured programming and digital systems. The laboratory procedures developedfor this course are aimed at meeting the learning objectives of this course including assemblylanguage programming, program debugging, serial communication, input/output devices,interrupts, interfacing, and direct memory access (DMA). The laboratory projects introducestudents to the host–target environment using an integrated development environment (IDE). Theplatform currently utilized is a Freescale Semiconductor 68HC11 board produced by AxiomManufacturing. The 68HC11 is a dated 8-bit architecture and has proved to be a robust platformto teach
taught the synchronous, clockedparadigm, and never even touch on asynchronous digital design. Those curricula that do mentionasynchronous design do so only in passing; the students are not taught how to designasynchronous circuits. The widespread introduction of asynchronous digital design in theclassroom is largely constrained by the lack of introductory educational materials. This paperpresents one approach for integrating asynchronous circuit design into the undergraduateComputer Engineering curriculum, focusing on inclusion in two courses, one on HardwareDesign Languages (HDLs), such as VHDL, and the other on VLSI.The paper is organized into 5 sections. Section 2 presents an overview of asynchronous logic;Section 3 describes the asynchronous

The University of Tennessee at ChattanoogaAbstractPracticing engineers, industry representatives, and ABET recognize the need for technicalcommunication instruction in the engineering curricula. There are various means for introducingand exposing students to technical communication. In 2000, the faculty at the University ofTennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) initiated an integration of the technical communicationsinstruction (ITC
curriculum. This research study will help Page 11.532.3determine the future focus on curriculum development to be more responsive to the needs andrequirements of industry, particularly the increasing nontraditional industry sectors such asinformation Technology (IT) and service, as well as Industrial Engineers’ roles in engineeringmanagement and leadership. This study will also determine the depth of the emerging topics,how they should be combined and integrated into the curriculum, and how the existing coursesshould be restructured for new topic inclusion.3 MethodologyThe Delphi technique is a systematic procedure that pools the opinions of a diverse

Unlike Borrego and Newswander’s findings where typical cross-disciplinary collaborators often seek-out experts in another field with a specific purpose of a pre-conceived idea, this collaboration began more “by chance.” As Kirkpatrick stated, “A group had been developed in previous years with an interest in the grand challenges. I was jealous, the grand challenges sound cool and I want to do them. So I walked over to that group. I was slightly surprised to find the group being represented by Humanities and Social Sciences faculty (but not too much-- I had friends who had degrees in English that could turn a wrench far better

This research work demonstrates that embedded system designcan be taught at the first-year level and can be continuously integrated at every level ofthe undergraduate curriculum. It is our understanding that few if any engineering collegesin this country teach embedded system design principles at such an early stage. Oursystem teaching methodology has made this possible.The integrated system approach is a teaching methodology that accomplishesextraordinary results. It is a thinking process that produces an optimum design, meeting Page 11.132.3the stated objectives in

Certainly, this integration of an advisoryboard is in concert with the new ABET criteria which formally promotes a “partnering”approach to ensure the relevancy of the curriculum to the needs of the industry andultimately the society our graduates serve. This strategic vision recently provided theimpetus for a comprehensive curriculum overhaul designed to significantly enhance theflexibility of the program. Deloped over a period of approximately two years, the newcurriculum alignment created three educational options where students can specialize instructural design, in
