We are aninterdisciplinary team from several areas of the Computer and ElectricalEngineering programs at the University of Puerto Rico, exploring novel ideas ofproducts that can become feasible projects for the capstone design course. Theapproach to our work contrasts with many conventional engineering educationpractices, which place emphasis on highly structured and formal procedures andsolving problems proposed by faculty members or by industry partners. Althoughwe still meet in the formal setting of a classroom and one research laboratory, thesessions differ significantly from regular classes, appearing more

In spite of these misgivings, many studies have compared face-to-faceinstruction to distance learning instruction and found no significant differences2,3.This study compares software platforms (WebCT vs. WebBoard/other types e-communications),assesses the efficacy of TLT (Teaching, Learning, Technology) training and teaching technologyformats (multimedia only vs. text based only vs. a mixed format of multi-media and text) andtheir impact on learning outcomes (student performance and satisfaction with the course and theinstructor) at a large public research university with a reputation as a pioneer and leader ininformation technology and distance learning.Student

Finally,depending on their own background and training, graduate students may also have culturalcompetency skills well suited to mentor students from diverse backgrounds [8]. As such,undergraduate students have been found to highly value, and sometimes prefer, being mentoredby graduate students and postdocs [6].Existing research has primarily focused on how mentees benefit from mentoring relationships. Inrecent years, scholars have begun to also study how graduate students and postdoc mentors areaffected. In 2009, Dolan and Johnson found that mentors experienced “cognitive andsocioemotional growth, improved teaching and communication skills, and greater enjoyment oftheir own apprenticeship experience” [5

Alice uses a 3D Interactive Graphics Programming Environment to teachthe fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming. One of the major advantages ofusing Alice is the mitigation of syntax issues in lieu of teaching programming concepts. Asthose

Ong, Whitworth University Dr. Markus Ong is an associate professor within the Department of Engineering & Physics at Whitworth University, located in Spokane, WA. He earned his PhD in materials science and engineering from Stanford University in 2008 and was a staff researcher developing and characterizing nanomaterials at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA before starting at Whitworth in 2010.

research conducted by their faculty. Graduate programs provide the obvious benefitto a research mission of students that need to assist/conduct research and investigations in orderto pursue theses and projects. The availability of graduate students can, of course, also assistfaculty with the undergraduate program by serving as teaching assistants for labs and other taskssuch as grading assignments. Construction programs can have both a professional and researchfocus. Certainly the precedent-setters for professional construction graduate programs at manyinstitutions have been those programs in law, architecture, business, and medical specialties.A further benefit for the institution is that graduate programs help in retaining and recruitingmore

There is a potential major savings for industry in investing early in the educational process, rather than paying the bill later.• Major opportunities for reform exist but remain to be exploited. Significant advances have been made in our knowledge of how people learn and develop, while new teaching methods and curricular organization have been demonstrated1, 2, but have not been widely accepted. Too little has changed in undergraduate engineering education delivery in the past 50 years.Much thought has been devoted in both industry

In general, lectures, hands-on laboratory orworkshop sessions, and project-based work may all be included in manufacturing curricula.When teaching manufacturing courses and lectures are frequently utilized to provide studentswith an overview of the fundamental principles in the field. A range of different technologies canbe used to deliver a lecture such as online or in a classroom setting. Additionally, manufacturingcourses could also include hands-on laboratory or workshop sessions where students get to useactual manufacturing tools and equipment. These classes are made to give students real-worldexperience with procedures and methods employed in the field. Traditionally, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
