The Research Studio included an introduction of tissuetest systems and overall EFRI project goals, completion of laboratory safety training, anintroduction to research ethics, technical writing, and basic laboratory practices, participation ina team building exercise, discussion of the projects to which each student would be exposed, anddiscussion of the expectations for and of RPs. Once RPs completed the Research Studio, each RPwas paired with a graduate student mentor and the mentor’s project. After completion of theResearch Studio, each student was required to spend 3 hours on lab

Finally, the paper compares the current status of faculty scholarship vis-à-visfaculty technical currency to the results obtained through earlier studies (2003 & 2007). I. IntroductionThe purpose of project was to explore faculty perceptions of the importance and currentstatus of faculty technical currency for effective teaching. A survey was conducted viathe ASEE ETD listserv during December 2013; the listserv has a membership of morethan 4000 faculty members and professionals belonging to 1000 institutions. Engineeringtechnology faculty were asked to

This is obviously an important feature.Originally we attempted to use MathML (which ePub 3 is supposed to support), but had greatdifficulty getting this to work. Having used LATEX and MathJax in a similar project 72 , we tried itwith great results. We used the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 74 option in MathJax exclusivelywhich allowed us to trim MathJax down by deleting some unused resources that come bundledwith it.PerformanceThe primary concern in creating interactive eBooks for computationally intensive applications isobviously performance. A test case computed is that of an inviscid, uniform, incompressiblecross-flow over a circular cylinder with

The Introduction toOperations Management course provides an overview of the functional activities necessary forthe creation and delivery of goods and services. The goal of the course is to give the students abasic understanding of operations management and an appreciation for the many roles anoperations manager can play in an organization. Specific attention is paid to how an operationsmanager impacts strategic and operational decisions across a variety of functional areas in anorganization. Topics covered include: productivity; strategy in a global business environment;project management; quality management; location and layout strategies; human resourcesmanagement; supply chain and

The subject matter buildson the concepts of logic, decomposition, and problem solving introduced in the first year. Thecourse was held during a typical 16-week semester and met on Monday and Wednesdaymornings for 75 minutes at a time.The course itself is made up of a number of learning modules, most of which are scheduled for asingle calendar week although there are a few longer topics. 10 distinct learning modules werescheduled over the first 12 weeks of the course. Students are engaged in two larger, multi-deliverable final projects during

These four were focused on engineeringpractice—how devices are made and how they work, communication within diverse engineeringteams and with stakeholders in the organization, engineering codes and standards, and a systemsperspective. Notably, early career engineers judged their greatest weaknesses as practicalexperience, project management, knowledge of business processes and engineering codes andstandards.2 Many of these perceptions of weakness point unmistakably to a lack of emphasis ontranslating

Overall indications are that intensive efforts on multiple fronts have shown positive results. There are more women in faculty ranks and academic administrative positions, and measures of institutional climate change continue to show progress. In addition to multiple interventions, the kind of transformation sought required engagement of men – not just as participants, but also as facilitators, planners, and leaders guiding the work of NSF ADVANCE at

The historical development of engineering into aprofession highlighted the engineer’s role in social development and progress; the tradeoffsnecessary in engineering decision-making; and the need to anticipate “unintended consequences”and identify stakeholders who may be silent or lack social power.Student learning outcomes are listed in Table 1.Student work included several design projects, with documentation in the form of hand and CADdrawings, written descriptions, and oral presentations; design problem definition assignments;and writing assignments in which students reflected on their experiences and responded toreading assignments.

succeeding in a continuous working world that doesn’t assign an end-‐of-‐project grade. Teaching students how to perform peer review and how to utilize constructive criticism for improvement is essential for their future. Yet despite the long-‐term benefits recognized by academia, students are largely unfamiliar with peer review. Sitthiworachart and Joy9 reported that of their 215 first-‐year students taking a computer programming course, 89% of them had not ever experienced peer review prior to the start of the course. Guilford10 found that only 39% of undergraduate engineering students understood peer review as it related to scientific

The tutorials are developed to guide students, strengthen their knowledge on thematerials covered in the class as well as to provide them a roadmap on excel functions. RevisedBloom’s Taxonomy provided a great framework to develop the components of the tutorial inrelation to the knowledge students are expected to gain at each step of the tutorial. The next stepof this project will involve the implementation of these tutorials during Spring 2014 semester inthe Computer Programming and Applications course and to collect student response and
