the certificates will use a “1 + 2” lecture/studio format, where students have two hours of hands-on laboratory learning for every one hour of lecture, maximizing students’ experience by integrating theoretical and practical aspects of the subjects. The certificate programs integrate industry competencies from advanced technical fields, aligned mostly with project-based and problem-based teaching approaches. The curricula are designed to allow non- degree seeking students to take individual courses, as micro-credentials in the respective subjects; they can be accrued towards the certificate completion. Also students may take certificate courses as technical electives if they are approved by the respective programs. 3.1

She completed her graduate work at the University of Florida, having pursued Master’s and PhD degrees in Plant Pathology and Molecular Biology, respectively. After a brief time in industry, Dr. Tombolato- Terzic returned to academia, seeking a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics at Northern Illinois University.

The course was 6 credit-hour seminar that was taught inan asynchronous, fully online format over 11 weeks, and a prerequisite in the Geotechnical trackof the Master of Civil Engineering (MCE) program. The content of this course aligned well withboth my professional background and my previous teaching experience with a traditional lectureand laboratory courses covering similar topics. At the time, however, I had never developed ortaught an asynchronous online course and was eager to find out more about working within thismedium. Therefore, for the 2011 spring semester I registered for both the CAP and AIDEcourses, hoping that together they would provide a

Accordingly, several researchers in multiple engineering fields havebeen working on diverse applied learning techniques attempting to improve the engineeringcurriculum and thus enhance the students’ learning experience.Educators started incorporating hands-on teaching activities into STEM courses by utilizinginteractive educational tools like modular educational demonstrators to improve STEM educationand introduce students to engineering design concepts [11] [12]. Studies show that educationaldemonstrators, e.g., hydraulic remotely controlled vehicles, robotic cars, Etc., can reinforcestudents’ learning through integrating hands-on labs into the laboratory curriculum [13]. Sucheducational demonstrators have been
homework systems to be valuablefor teaching and learning (e.g. [1], [2]).Firstly, the desired learning outcomes need to be clearly determined as they will guide thedesign of the content and the problem types in the homework. It is also important to decidethe purpose of the homework in terms of whether it is meant as a formative or summativeassessment. Lunsford and Pendergrass [2] suggested that online homework systems may bemore suitable for formative assessment due to the feedback available for both students andteachers. Also, formative assessment views mistakes as part of the learning process which issupported by online homework systems where students are usually given multiple attemptsfor each problem. This combination of feedback and multiple

At the same time, the serial and parallel portscontinue to enjoy significant application in industrial control and embedded computer systems,in situations where low cost, low speed and single device communication is needed. Thissituation has given rise to the challenge that we not only need to continue teaching the paralleland serial port concepts, but also introduce the USB and Bluetooth interfacing andcommunication concepts in our courses.In this paper we present a survey of the teaching material (section 1), hardware considerations(section 2) and laboratory project demonstrations (section 3) that we have developed and used inour capstone course, to

deficiency had a significant direct impact on the NEE’s formal set ofresponsibilities, for example, a senior faculty member who deliberately inhibited theNEE’s work, say, by not making available departmental equipment needed for the NEEto teach a laboratory course. Even then, with the problem being necessarily discussed,the administrator must be conservative and respectful in discussing it with the NEE, andin privately correcting (not in the presence of the NEE) the faculty member.Infrequently, irritated senior faculty may confront the NEE with reality behind closeddoors. This can be unpleasant if outside of the formal chain of command. A preferredapproach would be for offended faculty to ask the director, chair, or official NEE facultymentor to
