CTUacademic leaders saw a need for a change and took unique action to impact the failure andwithdraw rate in this important gateway course. The combination of high failure and withdrawrates made this course a perfect candidate for an innovative approach using adaptive learning(AL) technology to enhance the learning and improve success in the course. Although CTU has been using AL technology since October of 2012, the research on theeffectiveness of AL and its impact on student success is limited. Specific research on withdrawand failure rates has been

Items such asplastics, golf clubs, and hip implants are explored. Students who elect to take this course comefrom a wide range of majors such as education, marketing, architecture, and history. Somestudents are also engineering majors, seeking unique perspectives on materials not oftendiscussed in a traditional materials courses. The course assessment indicated that some of thestudent in non-engineering majors did not see the connection of this course with their major.The conclusion was that the teaching

GalvanizeU/UNHaims to help reverse this trend, as well as support a greater number of students from differentbackgrounds, by offering scholarships from partner organizations with similar goals. Another of GalvanizeU/UNH’s core goals is to create a new path for how data scienceeducation is perceived and taught. To train a new class of data scientists, educators mustemphasize problem solving and design thinking over tools and technology.

Education, 2015 The creation of a Biomedical Engineering Technology program for the 2020sAbstractMany biomedical engineering technology or similarly named programs were spawned in theearly 1970s. These programs, at the two-year college level, were a response to the demand fortechnicians to deal with the rapidly expanding base of medical equipment that was beingdeployed primarily in hospitals. Although there were many electronics engineering technologyprograms at the community college level, it was thought that the need for technicians skilled inthe medical equipment area would be more successfully satisfied through a specific program thattaught the fundamentals of electronics and then concentrated on

technologyAbstractUnderstanding the social, environmental, economic, and political impact of engineering is animportant aspect of being a professional engineer. Responding to this need, engineeringprograms increasingly offer engineering ethics education. However, courses in engineeringethics as well as research on students’ developing sense of engineering ethics often emphasizethe micro-ethics of research, mentoring, and publications. In comparison, research is limited onhow future engineers understand the social, ethical, environmental, economic, and politicalimpact of their scientific and technological contributions. In this manuscript, we present 2 case-study accounts of how future engineers think about an engineer’s responsibility towards thesocial and global impact
