Learning by engagement and empowerment - a pragmatic approach to enhance student engagement in a service course and developing relevance of such a course to their own majorsBijaya Shrestha, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Missouri S&TAbstractNew pedagogical approaches are developed and implemented in a service course in orderto enhance the engagement of students in the learning process. Service courses are oftenperceived to be non-relevant and lame by majority of engineering students. The newapproaches bring a climate where students are provided with opportunities to take chargeand explore. The idea behind the new approach is built around a good mix of technologywith old tools of the trade so as to

Scienceliteracy, information literacy and communication skills are crucial and criticalfoundations for students in Engineering Technology programs to become lifelonglearners.

exercise enlightening,particularly as teaching practices had been rarely addressed since their commencement at theUniversity over ten years ago. “Discussions with the group helped in decision making about the course structure. Discussions with secondary teachers revealed that the students have little or no experience in teamwork…One of the main things I learned is that my idea of what interests the students is significantly different to reality… One comment made by [the secondary teacher] has been in my mind throughout the semester and was proven to be true on a number of occasions “They are still kids!” and we can’t turn them into budding engineers in one semester.”5.

EPICSstudents come from many disciplines across campus and many of the tools are written withengineering students in mind. Such tools can help for advisors and students set betterexpectations and assist in the assessment of those students.References 1. “Improving Engineering Design: Designing for Competitive Advantage”, National Research Council, Washington, D.C., 1991. 2.

A novel conceptual framework wasdeveloped by Engineering Education Researchers at RPI for this purpose and is described in thesections that follow.Conceptual Framework The origins of modern NSE theory can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Leucippus ofMiletus claimed the world was made from a combination of imperceptible matter and a voidseparating them. Plato argued that reality existed in the human mind in the form of experienceand therefore any effort to quantify imperceptible matter was futile [11]. These same basicclaims are still inherent in modern NSE theory. Nuclear Science tends to deal with the abstracttheoretical quantification of imperceptible matter while Nuclear Engineering tends to deal withthe more practical

Due to these views, it isdifficult to change the composition of cement or change the production methods while keepingthe expectations of reliability from engineers and the construction industry. While cement holds avital role in the transportation industry, it is not the same for the agricultural industry. Agricultureis negatively impacted by the cement industry in ways by soil quality and plant productionmainly due to cement dust, which emits large amounts of lead, zinc, hydrochloric acid, sulfuricacid, fluorine, copper, and magnesium [7]. During the cement manufacturing process, CO2 is released from four primary sources. Thecombustion of fossil fuels

Conversely, course difficulty and individual professors with undesirable teachingstyles negatively affected the learning environment. Additionally, the one factor that wascorrelated with students’ overall satisfaction with their collegiate experience was theirsatisfaction with faculty instruction. The current research may not only have implications forHBCUs, but for all institutions educating minority engineers. A premium needs to be placed onthe formation of peer groups.

Almost allmobile phones run either Android OS, or iOS. So, these were the platforms that the applicationsought to support.
