Thus, theintroduction of this facility will provide invaluable hands-on learning experiences for all STEMstudents.The connection between theory and practice has long been recognized as one of the mostchallenging aspects to teach in engineering education. Hands-on experience in a laboratoryenvironment offers a vital tool to solidify concepts covered in lecture courses. The proposedproject aims to significantly enhance undergraduate instruction related to recent trends anddevelopments in emerging technologies, including alternative energy, drone technology, andbiotechnology. The laboratory will supplement various engineering

This block schedule was adopted in order to allow flexibility in the use of classtime, as described below. It is a “permission” course, having no formal pre- or co-requisites listed, although the course relies on students’ coursework in mass and energybalances, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and chemistry to a significant extent.We wanted to have a food-safe laboratory available as part of this course so that studentscould not only prepare and assess food products, but also taste what they had made.

COIL activities can range from 3 weeks to an entire semester of combined teaching. Aspects to consider include time zone differences, languages, the number of participating students, and the students’ level (e.g., senior vs. sophomore) of the engineering courses at both institutions. Instructors should also discuss previous experiential learning opportunities for students of different backgrounds. Some students may not know about co-ops, teaching laboratories, internships, or volunteering/service opportunities, which promote multicultural learning

Teaching structural mechanics is traditionally delivered by a primarylecture component usually complemented by structural laboratory demonstrations. While thelecture component covers the theoretical concepts and derivations, the laboratory demonstrationsare known to improve the students’ understanding of the concepts through observation andexperimentation. Students often work with line drawings of members with idealized loadings andboundary conditions, but struggle to understand the dimensional reduction of load path (i.e. 3Dcombined loading reduced to member force effects) within a multi-story building systems [1, 2].Other shortcomings in traditional modes of teaching

In this paper, we hypothesized that an EML module that utilized aproject-based approach would improve student engagement, improve technical laboratory and writing skillsand foster student’s curiosity to learn about human body motion.

EducationInfusing engineering-related concepts into K-12 level curriculum is a rather new initiative forpublic school teachers in the United States, especially those who teach technology education.Maurice Thomas, in a paper presented at the Mississippi Valley Technology Teacher EducationConference, stated that “Technology education has the opportunity to become a partner withengineering and benefit from their image, support, and political power. Many argue that we[technology education] would gain a great deal and lose little because engineering content fitscomfortably with technology education objectives and content.”1 Many technology teachers,however, wonder if this new initiative is viable for the future of the technology educationprofession, or that

As a result, Chemical Engineeringprograms throughout the nation started using them for a variety of reasons.

Discourse simulation activitiesat universities prior to student teaching and internships are often insufficient to prepare teachersfor engaging in discourse with students throughout an entire school day.Traditional Methods of Discourse DevelopmentTraditionally, discourse development begins with pre-service teachers’ own understanding ofmath and science based upon how they were taught when they were first learning the material.Most education programs require pre-service teachers to take at least one laboratory-basedscience course and to complete mathematics courses. Once the students have a foundation inmath and science, they then take courses
