in fields such aseducation and the humanities but in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)related fields, lecture based instruction remains the predominant form of instruction. Recentresearch on active learning in STEM fields perhaps presents a shift in pedagogy (Freeman, et. al.2014). Building on this work, the authors have identified active learning as the preferred form ofinstruction, in undertaking their research.4- EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES and OUTCOMES The following general and specific student outcomes come from UTRGV’sElectrical Engineering Department.General Educational Outcomes- it will be demonstrated that the student: 1- is able to use knowledge of mathematics, basic sciences and engineering to

metacognition.MethodologySubjects and settingThe Department of Engineering and Design at Western Washington University (WWU),established in 2014 as part of a state-funded transition from Engineering Technology, hasapproximately 400 undergraduate students with about 100 students enrolled in the electricalengineering program. In the conception of the new engineering programs, project-based learningwas identified as a key component of the curriculum, and consequently the majority of courses inthe department have a weekly lab component. While the labs provide an opportunity for hands-onlearning, problem solving at all levels is primarily practiced through weekly homework problems,in introductory courses up through senior-level courses on more advanced topics.This case study

Organizational Behavior from State University of New York at Buffalo c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Statistical Approach to Analyzing a Graduate Curriculum for Construction Management EducationBACKGROUNDOver the past couple of decades, the construction industry, like every other industry today, hasgone through a tremendous amount of change due to technological innovation, intense marketcompetition, and community or government regulations, among other factors. The industry hasalso experienced a significant downturn of revenue since its peak in 2008 and has just started toshow increase in demand and revenue. However, the drastic change in the social, economic

Known as G-code, this programming language is based on the Cartesiancoordinate system (X, Y, Z), which is used by a variety of other machining and manufacturingprocesses. This allows implementing other technologies, such as laser engraving and coordinatemeasuring (CMM), on the same machine. However, research showed that in order to have laserengraving capability, an exhaust system and a casing were needed to get rid of potentially toxicfumes emitted from the laser and burning material, and to enclose the working area, respectively.CMM capabilities were also halted due to the high cost of a single touching probe.Design Procedure Basic engineering design process was followed, implying that a design
