Engineering our Future New Jersey: Partnerships, the Critical Element Elisabeth McGrath, Stevens Institute of Technology Dawna Schultz, Stevens Institute of TechnologyAbstract: Engineering Our Future NJ is a multi-pronged initiative whose goal is to ensure that all K-12students in New Jersey experience engineering as an integral component of their elementary, middle, andhigh school education. Launched by Stevens Institute of Technology’s Center for Innovation inEngineering and Science Education, EOFNJ has formed alliances with two- and four-year colleges,industry, government, education associations, school districts, and other stakeholder groups todemonstrate the need for and benefits of
theoretical and hands-on practical experience with automation technologies that areof prime importance in industry: machine vision, programmable logic controllers based on theIEC-61131 standard, motion control and the integration of these technologies. Developingapplications and integration of state of the art industrial automation technology (hardware andsoftware) has become fairly easy compared to only a few years ago. Manufacturing engineeringstudents, as well as all other engineering students who will work on design and improvement ofautomated processes should be exposed to these advanced automation technologies. This paperdescribes the methodologies and relevant concepts covered in class, laboratory equipment, andlab activities developed for

Engineering and a Master of Science in Engineering degree. From these classic disciplines newdirections emanate through technology focus groups. Currently the technology focus groups are ●Manufacturing / Processing Engineering s Environmental Engineering ●Information / Communications Engineering ●Computer Engineering / RoboticsThe technology focus groups will provide for the maximum interdisciplinary interaction among students forprojects and in technical electives and required courses. These areas will be continuously monitored to stay onthe leading edge and to change focus topics as technology advances. The School is not highly structured withformalized departments to foster the greater multidisciplinary aspect of the
business environment whereconsumers have changing needs, engineers need to be able to think creatively to meet thoseneeds. Thus, it is both the goal and the challenge for engineering students and educators alike tobuild creativity into the front end of teaching endeavors, research endeavors, and professionalendeavors. Few engineering endeavors are done without the idea of a cost-benefit analysis, whichbusinesses utilize to determine if they will make profits enough to start, innovate, and sustainproduction. Engineers of the 21st century thus need to realize that they need to think beyond justthe technology involved in a product or service. They need to be able to provide this product orservice at a price/value that would be acceptable to a

Social Network-based Self-Regulated Learning for Engineers: Is it possible? Gonca Altuger-Genc1Lifelong learning gained more importance as the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education and Technology(ABET) criteria require that engineering programs demonstrate that their students attain “a recognition of the needfor, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning”. Universities across the nation are implementing modules,projects, case studies, and online set-ups to meet the lifelong learning criterion. The concept of lifelong learningdiffers than the traditional in-class learning in being self-regulated and voluntary. These two characteristics oflifelong learning make it
. Introduction Technological change has significantly influenced the fields incorporated in engineeringtechnology. The area of engineering graphics is a good example of how an industry has beenaffected by this change. Just 20 years ago, a majority of all drafting was performed on a draftingboard. With this traditional form of drafting, an engineer or an architect would design a productand the drafter, using drafting equipment such as paper, pencils, and a scale, drew the productiondrawings of the object that was to be constructed or manufactured. The final drawings would bedistributed to contractors and manufacturing industries to build the product. Traditional boarddrafting, even though it could be very tedious, was not particularly technically

Conforming a New Manufacturing Engineering Curriculum to the SME Four PillarsAbstractThis paper will highlight the challenges in developing a manufacturing engineering curriculumthat conforms to the SME four pillars based on the experiences of the Engineering and Design(ENGD) department at Western Washington University (WWU). These experiences are uniquein a number of ways. Foremost, this program was created by transitioning an existingManufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) program that included an option in CAD/CAM.As a result, the new program was designed to incorporate the strengths of this long establishedtechnology program. One of these is hands-on intensive lab experiences within courses thatrequire students to
