They were also significantly more likely than control students toreport interest in and comfort with engineering jobs and skills, and to agree that scientists andengineers help to make people’s lives better.IntroductionEngineering is Elementary (EiE) is a research-based curriculum project focused on creatingcurriculum units covering topics in engineering and technology as a supplement to core scienceinstruction. The curriculum aims to increase student knowledge and skills related to engineeringand technology. Each EiE curriculum unit is designed to build on and reinforce one science topicthrough the exploration and development of a related technology

Session 1657 Implementation and Assessment of Industrial Engineering Curriculum Reform Sigurdur Olafsson, Kevin Saunders, John Jackman, Frank Peters, Sarah Ryan, Veronica Dark, and Mary Huba Iowa State UniversityAbstractWe describe a curriculum reform project that aims to improve the industrial engineeringcurriculum through a web-based learning environment that engages students in active andcollaborative learning. This environment focuses on engineering problems solving, increasedinformation technology content, and the higher order cognitive skills

Although the original TLO tool was developed foruse by students in specific undergraduate courses [10], it is grounded in rich theory and builds oninstruments that have been modified for the workplace (e.g. [29]) and thus seems applicable toour work.5.1.2 Career EnablersAs described, a recurring theme in our data was “the benefits of lifelong learning formultidisciplinary work and innovation.” Engineering education literature focuses on the role oflifelong learning in keeping skillsets up-to-date in response to technological change [7] but this istypically conceptualized in relation to a disciplinary knowledge base. In addition to this role, weidentified

There are about 1.5 million Americanengineers; it is the most popular occupation among American males. About half or these areemployed in the manufacturing industries; 12% are in government service, 3% are self-employed. About 65,000 students earn the BS yearly. 20% of these are female, 24% Americanminorities, and 7% foreign nationals. Most engineers are employed in corporate life; a verysmall percentage are officially licensed as professionals, and that percentage is concentratedaway from the high-technology and high-profit areas today.Among Engineering Colleges, the accredited curricula are

The collaboration and information sharing tools found in Web-4M can be applied to anydiscipline, but the rich nature of visualization tools found in Web-4M (an not found in many othercollaboration products) made it especially useful in teaching engineering and science. Web-4M, aproduct developed by JDH Technologies, is unique in that it is a hybrid tool suite containing bothsynchronous and asynchronous tools useful in both web-based and traditional classes. This mixallows greater flexibility in presentation of material in a learning environment. It also opens up arealm of possibilities not
