to disseminate the core of our research to the K-12 community and build thepipeline of young scientists and engineers who will be prepared to continue the important workof identifying and solving the grand global challenges of the future.Program DescriptionAt its core, the program teaches middle and high school teachers and students how to apply theEngineering Design Process (EDP) to solve real world problems through a project basedapproach. The prompt presented to participants is: Design a wearable device for a human,animal, or both, to address a “One Health” related issue. The One Health Initiative2 bringslight to issues at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health. This promptencourages creativity in the brainstorming
with other students on team projects, and challenges in engagement and in theeffective presentation and sharing of team projects. Research has shown that active learningexperiences, student-to-student and student-to-instructor communication, student collaboration,group work, community, and assessment are important components to successful online courses(Considine, 2014; Kinney, 2012; Owalabi, 2016; Sarder, 2014).This study evaluated the use of Immersive Terf® (3Dicc)i virtual world technology to supportstudent collaboration and engagement in an online, undergraduate, sophomore-level computerengineering course in digital design, offered through the Penn State Abington campus. Virtualworld technology provides a persistent 3D immersive
education standards that guide the content anddevelopment of state and local science education standards and practices1. Studies of theincorporation of engineering in statewide educational standards have also shown the widespreadinclusion of engineering in science, mathematics, and technology standards and the developmentof standalone engineering standards2,3.Further evidence of increased opportunities for K-12 students to explore engineering comes fromthe growth of national pre-college engineering programs and curricula. Project Lead The Way(PLTW), the largest provider of K-12 technology and engineering curricula, has been adopted inall 50 states and measures student participation in the millions4.

Introduction: Project management is critical to IT development and helps to keep ITprojects on track through each cycle. A Wall Street Journal report stated recent researchrevealed managing IT projects well could significantly improve a firm’s profits and improve ITinvestments [3]. IT project management is often a process used to keep the project withintechnical limitations, within the allowed budget, and within a deterministic schedule [38].The Standish Group’s “CHAOS Summary 2009” showed the project success rate had decreased,with the data revealing a

ROS provides astructured development and deployment software architecture, with a distributed model, across avariety of sensor and hardware platforms. Although software development in ROS is primarilyimplemented in C++ and Python languages (other languages are supported), the MATLABRobotics System Toolbox also provides a ROS interface.

calibration curve to measurethe salinity levels of 2 to 3 solutions of unknown salinity of the same salt. Each team wasasked to adopt a basic CDI reactor and were provided with basic material, equipment andsupplies and guidelines for the project. A salt solution was pumped through the reactors in acontinuously re-cycled (multi-pass) mode. The conductivity was measured in a reservoir.Students were asked to do mass-balance calculations on total quantity of the salt removedusing initial and final concentrations, and the volumes of the solutions used in theirexperiments. Students explored the effects of various operating conditions on desalination.The hands-on experience focused on design-build-operate approach starting from preparationof solutions of

In this same survey, over 80% of the 12respondents in the medical engineering field affirmed that there is “a need for engineers whopossess the fundamentals of standards development and the knowledge to find and applystandards prior to employment” [6]. Clearly, there is a need for students in engineeringacademic programs to learn about engineering standards.Practicing engineers must both identify and apply engineering standards; therefore, to preparethem for industry, students need to be trained in the importance of standards and the applicationof standards during projects [7]. A variety of instructional techniques have been implemented tointroduce engineering students to standards, such as workshops [8

comparison to assessmentresults in a traditional course offering.BackgroundThe study of Construction Engineering involves courses in areas of construction practice such asestimation, scheduling, safety, project management, and plan reading and production. Suchcourses normally involve expenses for students in terms of textbooks, equipment, and software.The expenses for course textbooks and materials can be quite high. These include prices rangingto over $300 for individual textbooks in engineering [1], [2], to $700 per semester [3], toupwards of $1200 a year on average for civil engineering programs [4]. These costs also increaseat an exorbitant rate, with textbook costs estimated to have been increasing 1500%, or nearlythree times the overall rate
