paper reviews the commonlygeotechnical design and analysis programs used in the practice and discusses about a fewmethods to integrate these current commercially available geotechnical programs into thecommon taught geotechnical courses to stimulate the students’ interest, enhance the teachingeffectiveness and develop the students’ problem-solving skills. By adopting these methods,students would develop the appreciation for the geotechnical design theory they learned in theclass, learn how to abstract a real world project into a numerical model, and connect the theorywith geotechnical practice for various geotechnical design problems. Some of the projects fromthese classes can further be developed into undergraduate and graduate research

In this context, the integration ofreproductive and interactive training such as role-games, business-games, brainstorms,discussions, creative tasks, and projects are of great practical value for the high schoolstudents.The module education approach was reflected in the design of the interdisciplinary courseapplied by teachers in the Kazan high school, Republic of Tatarstan. The modules arerealized in separate disciplines as well as being included in training courses and extracurriculum work. The main advantage of this approach is the use of creative student groupactivities.

The perception of a white-men dominated environment canoften result in unfair stereotypes and biases imposed on women and people of color. These studentscan face assumptions of inferiority and be considered as part of the STEM field only as part of arequirement or quota [2],[3],[4]. Group based project learning is a common tool used in the engineering classroom topromote the acquisition and development of skills that prepare students for engineering careersrequiring significant collaborative effort. Working in groups and collaborating towards acommon goal allows students to develop their communication, leadership

Typically, this could bea think-pair-share about applications of the innovation, classroom survey of what type(s) ofengineering would work on this project, or even getting a show of hands to demonstrate who hadseen the innovation previously (typically less than a quarter). This provides opportunity forstudents to connect to ideas that interest them, and to see the contexts by which engineers worktogether on similar projects.Table 1.

One of the main reasons thatresearchers in biomedical engineering must begin addressing knowledge translation (at least inCanada) is that collaborative health research projects funded through the Natural Sciences andEngineering Research Council (NSERC) and CIHR that focus on interdisciplinary researchbetween engineering and any field of health science must submit applications that have: “… astrong focus on knowledge translation, and lead to health benefits for Canadians, more effectivehealth services and/or economic development in health-related areas [and] all applicant teamsare required to engage and

ROS was used in the study of a robotic arm to introduce kinematics to undergraduatestudents and is presented in Yousuf [3, 4]. ROS control for a robotic arm for balancing a ball ona plate was developed for use as a teaching tool for laboratory courses in Khan [5]. Luo [6]discusses a multi-laboratory approach to teaching ROS to electrical engineering students in theundergraduate and graduate levels.As can be observed from the literature, the general emphasis at this time is to employ ROS forspecial topics or research topics in the undergraduate curriculum or to limit

the curriculumthat should be used to teach technology. As a result, the technology programs from stateto state, and from district to district within individual states, vary widely in both qualityand content, with no defined metrics to test student aptitude. Thus one school’stechnology program may provide students with instruction in cabinet making and metalworking while another school in the next school district may be teaching digitalelectronics, robotics and, multimedia design.The goal of any far-reaching STEM program needs to address the curriculum needs oftechnology education. Programs such as Project Lead the Way (PLTW)[12] and TheInfinity Project[13] have stepped into this perceived curriculum void and have createdprograms that bring
solar system will serve as a demonstration platform foreducating undergraduate students about contemporary renewable energy theory and technology.Key to this educational strategy is to develop projects that can assist in educating students in allaspects of renewable energy.Traditional Energy SourcesThe U.S. Department of Energy has compiled much historical energy supply and consumptionstatistics over the years, and provides access to this data via the Energy InformationAdministration9. Based on this data, Figure 1 was developed, which depicts the history of U.S.energy consumption in terms of total energy used as well as the energy consumed from theprimary fossil fuel and nuclear power sectors.It is obvious that the United States has an
engineering student participants developed their technology deliverables (product design specifications, concepts, detail designs, and prototypes) in parallel with, and frequently independent of, the business team’s market research. In other words, design work was completed prior to establishing market requirements. This issue inhibited meaningful exchange of ideas and unnecessarily limited team interdependency. 2. In cases where the technology was discovered to have limited market feasibility (crowded market space, high cost of entry, or small market), the business team tended to disband, while engineering team was stuck with the project since they were enrolled in a 2-semester course. 3. Occasionally the
accomplishment of the program can be donein other regions of the Country in according to the needs or the desire of the group. The previousexperiences has showed positive aspects of such program like the opportunity for students andteachers to intensify the exchange of ideas and experience despite the fact that all the involvedpeople have a chance to develop projects in joint ventures. For the students may be the bestaspect is the life time experience to know more about a different culture and explore the workingworld in a nice and safe environment. In 2007, in May around 3 students of a group will remainand live in town for three months and will conceive and develop a project in a joint venture witha local researcher of any education institution
