Using Pre Built Program Templates To Teach Numerical Methods

Conference Session: Computers in Education Poster Session
Collection: 2004 Annual Conference
Authors: David Silverstein

Excel.IntroductionIn the University of Kentucky chemical engineering curriculum, students are required totake a course in computer programming prior to taking their first “core” chemicalengineering course. Subsequent to that course, it is possible that a student will never to berequired to write a complete program from “scratch” again. This makes some sense inchemical engineering and other disciplines where greater than 90% of practitioners neverprogram in a high-level language.1Computer programming concepts in some form are still required according toAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria.2 While mostcurricula still require high-level languages such as C, C++, and Visual Basic,3 anincreasing number of programs are choosing to

escalate student engagementwith course content. As shown by B. Shneiderman a conceptual framework fortechnology-based learning and teaching has emerged as an engagement theory. 4 Thefundamental idea underlying engagement theory is that students must be meaningfullyengaged in learning activities through interaction with others and worthwhile tasks.While in principle, such engagement could occur without the use of technology, thetechnology can facilitate engagement in ways which are difficult to achieve otherwise.Thermodynamics together with other thermal-fluid sciences (thermodynamics, fluidmechanics, and heat transfer) are typically considered to be among the most difficulttopics taught in engineering curriculum.5 The Learning Tool described below

Integrating Soft Skills in a BME Curriculum Paul Benkeser and Wendy Newstetter Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory UniversityAbstractABET’s Criterion 3 requires engineering programs to demonstrate that its graduates possess anumber of “soft” skills related to the practice of engineering. These include skills related toteamwork, communications, professionalism, ethics, life-long learning, impact of engineeringsolutions, and knowledge of contemporary issues.

Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright 2004, American Society for Engineering Education”I. Introduction Undergraduate research should be an important part of our Engineering Technology (ET)curriculum because it better prepares our students for the graduate school. This additionalexperience also helps our majors in their career regardless of the job type because they learn towork independently as undergraduate researchers. However, it has been our observation that ETstudents are far less motivated to do research and report writing than those in other fields such asBiology, Chemistry and Physics. This is more apparent at Middle Tennessee State University(MTSU) since we have a large number
