Academics hold to theory and the latest technology and techniques —Developers are output driven and are only interested in getting the job done and out the door.Academics talk of ‘formal methods’ and ‘knowledge engineering’ and ‘state machines’ and Page 6.1058.1 Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2001, American Society for Engineering
, identifying each attribute and itscharacteristics, and identifying the excellent and poor quality work using narrative descriptivecriteria. Holistic rubrics and analytical rubrics are both used to measures students understandingof course content. Holistic rubrics provide a choice to state the highest and lowest levels ofperformance combining the descriptors for all attributes and analytical rubrics state the highestand lowest levels of performance using the descriptions for each attribute separately. The use ofrubrics allows the instructor to provide quality feed back to the student along with providingevaluation and reflection opportunities for an instructor as well. The use of rubrics in a technicalprogram will provide accountability and evaluation

It also highlights the benefits of using co-simulation in conjunction with traditionalwaveform-based simulations across all levels of digital design.Introductory Digital Logic CoursesEducators have found that students who are used to working with circuits and components canhave difficulties adapting to a hardware description language7, 13.

the number ofdegree recipients in engineering and engineering technology (e/et) at the associate’s degree level,but because many programs of study that prepare community college students to transfer to abaccalaureate e/et program do not require the student to attain an associate’s degree as anintermediate step, there are not reliable data on either the number of community college studentswho intend to transfer to baccalaureate e/et programs or the number who successfully make thetransition. This project seeks to fill that gap in the data.IntroductionTaking full advantage of community colleges as sources of science and engineering majors is acritical component of U.S. science and technology policy. Within the baccalaureate engineeringand
where it is debatable whether the technology boosts or hindersunderstanding. One question we get often in this day and age is whether the book is required or ifthe students can just read it on-line. There are pros and cons to this. The greatest benefits of on-line texts are cost and accessibility. However from the standpoint of time (speed to recovernecessary information) and convenience of browsing through a hard copy it is unclear if an on-line textbook is the way to go.Another question that instructors get asked often is if graphing calculators are permitted in thecourse. The benefit of using these calculators is not only in drawing graphs of complex functionsbut also being able to perform numerical integration (area under the curve) among
programmatic requirements currently in place. Another obstacle is that any changes tothe curriculum that require significant effort from faculty or staff would be difficult to sell andwould not be adopted widely. In the proposed framework, the DEEP modules serve as thesupplementary materials to existing STEM courses. In other words, the basic concepts andfundamental principles to be learned remain the same and are taught in the same way as in atraditional STEM class. The DEEP modules can be used to replace/supplement some of thetextbook examples and homework problems. Therefore, the proposed DEEP module approachcan effectively address the above-mentioned obstacles.Since its introduction, Jupyter Notebook has become an excellent interactive training

evaluate a module of asenior design curriculum and give undergraduate Mechanical Engineering students anintroduction to lean manufacturing goals, tools, and best practices. This was accomplishedthrough an in-class lecture, group discussions, along with pre and post surveys.Survey results demonstrated that students were able to develop an effective understanding oflean manufacturing, could successfully identify wastes according to lean principles, and proposeways to implement lean tools and techniques on university-scale design projects. This allowed usto validate that students could apply lean manufacturing principles to a variety of prototypeprojects, giving them hands-on experience with lean practices.

allthermodynamics courses, but are not typically tied directly to the mechanical devices thatperform the thermodynamic cycles. There are practical reasons for this disconnect. Within thetime available for an engineering degree program, it would be ineffective to teach all the detailsof many complex mechanical devices. In addition to the volume of information required, astechnology advances, many of these devices will become obsolete. Students need to acquire thefundamentals of analysis and design, so that they can keep learning after graduation and applythese concepts in integrated engineering problems. It is still desirable, however, to providestudents with some examples of complete systems that integrate concepts from several courses.Capstone design

This conversion provided an ideal opportunity to review the first-year curriculum for theengineering and engineering technology students and make changes to help improve retentionand performance of students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS).

In particular, those faculty who strive to make engineering curricula more authentic by using open-endedproblems in classes and embedding inquiry-based learning in course labs and projects know that they are helpingstudents to develop knowledge and skills that variously include "(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments,as well as to analyze and interpret data; (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams; (f) anunderstanding of professional and ethical responsibility; (g) an ability to communicate effectively; (h) the broadeducation necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal context; (i) arecognition

As the push foronline educational opportunities continues to grow and the demand for quality increases, WPIhas invested in instructional design resources to help develop online courses through acollaborative design model, moving away from instructors developing their coursesautonomously and in seclusion. Adopting a collaborative course design model requires a culturalshift for faculty in how they approach their course design and facilitation processes. Instructorswho have participated in the quality design in online courses pilot program have been targeted towork one-on-one with an instructional designer to work in collaborative
