EDUCATION Nanotechnology education is offered either as an option or required courses by manyuniversities around the world. It usually involves a multidisciplinary natural science educationwith courses in engineering, physics, chemistry, math and biology. Additionally, nanotechnologyis also considered to be taught as part of science studies at high schools and middle schools. Thisemerging field of science and technology is leading to a technological revolution in the newmillennium [8-10]. The corresponding author has

The development processfollowed that defined above, with multiple iterations and participation of multiple focus groupsrepresenting both academic and non-academic engineering perspectives. Major stages ofdevelopment are described below.Engineer attributes and performance expectations were compiled from sources including: 1. Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Engineering Criteria 3 and 4 educational outcomes and their expansion6,15, 2. Desired attributes and codes of ethics from engineering education consortia and professional societies1,2,4,5,16,17, 3. Core competencies and performance
class. The data reveal common themes or features the teachersfocused on in their design of the rubric. The teachers initially focused on team and process-oriented features (e.g., teamwork, organization, steps of design process) and how well the finalsolution worked. The teachers tended to focus less on knowledge-oriented features relating to theapplication of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) principles as theydeveloped their rubrics. As the teachers applied their newly developed rubrics to their students’final projects, they focused on surface features of teamwork and process and struggled to identifythe specific technical accomplishments of the teams’ work. The conclusion includes implicationsand future research work
-person. My goal was to develop not just an adequate online course, but touse the vast technological resources available to create a great online course. Howsuccessful this was course surprised me and more surprising was how I found myselfimproving my face-to-face courses through incorporation of some online techniques.Online Course OverviewIn order to explore the possibility of online delivery for an engineering course, I chose astandard Statics course which is a basic course in any engineering program. At RogerWilliams University, Statics is taught as a 3 credit course for engineering, architecture,and construction management students. The prerequisite is one semester of calculus.The course has a required textbook and is assessed using graded

In addition, a lack ofcontext has been cited as a contributing

This paper describesour strategies for assessing these ETKs and evaluating our entire program. So far, wehave three sources of assessment information: classroom observations, teachers’ reactionsto these materials including their willingness to use ETKs, and formal

These internationally recognized standards are importantfor reliability, safety, productivity, and efficiency of machines and equipment. Internationalorganizations such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization), ASME (AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers), and several other organizations oversee and constantlyupdate these codes to keep pace with technological advancements in industry, globally.

The importance of teaching design in engineering education has been highlyrecognised by Professional Engineering Associations; for example, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) and the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board(CEAB) have recognized facility with design as one of the most important learning outcomes ofan engineering education. However, design is difficult to teach because (1) design is a complexcognitive process [2], which requires what are classified in the Bloom’s taxonomy [3] as higher-level thinking skills: analysis, evaluation and
