Drawn from models of professionaltraining in medicine, and touted as a student-centered learning strategy, project-based, orproblem-based learning (PBL) has become a popular model to integrate specific challenges ofprofessional engineering into the learning process by incorporating the complexities of humanand site-based work into engineering curriculum [5], [6]. While pointing out the overly-broadrange of instructional methods justified under this title, critics agree that the active andcollaborative processes have value for student learning in engineering [7], [8], [5].For civil and environmental engineers, whose work is often connected to construction, land, andwater issues on specific sites, and whose work heavily

Instead, Bay College and Michigan TechUniversity aimed to create a single program that contained elements of each employer request.For example, rather than creating an entire program surrounding the need for graduates with anelectronics skillset, and yet another program focusing on hydraulics and pneumatics, a singleprogram would be created that included introductory coursework in each of these areas and thatallowed students to customize the remainder of their educational experience to the specificindustry or employer they wanted to target

It was deemed essential to introduce the students to this "real world"engineering experience as early in their academic career as their capability allowed as an "careerinterest grabber". A second objective of this approach was to "encourage" the students to callupon a broad range of previous course(s) experience(s) to successfully complete each weeklydesign challenge. The final objective of the course was to maximize the opportunity for thestudents to have an early "hands on" experience with actual industry-standard components,equipment and software.The curriculum offering sequence of the lab course follows the

and reports, the committee engaged in an all-encompassing and exhaustive discussion of all possible changes to the CEPC. The final product was an initial draft of the proposed Civil Engineering Program Criteria. The road to consensus started with a question: To what extent does the typical baccalaureate-level civil engineering program have room for more accreditation requirements given the credit-hour constraints on civil engineering programs around the country? Committee member opinions ranged from the current curriculum being full already to there is still room for seven to eight additional substantive accreditation requirements. The most common response was there is still room for three to

While there arewell-established cryptography courses offered in the Computer Science and Mathematicsdisciplines, these classes tend to focus on mathematical foundations rather than servicesand applications. Consequently, the developer of such courses finds that resourcesparticularly those relating to “hands-on” activities are lacking.For a lab module designer, creating modules that support an applied cryptography classpresents several unique challenges. For example, the choice of laboratory softwarepresents a unique challenge. This is especially true since most commercial

VOLTA can be used as an effective learning tool in circuits’ laboratories.1. IntroductionLaboratories have always been an integral part of the engineering education, where engineeringconcepts were reinforced by hands-on experience in laboratory experiments. Traditional on-siteexperiment-based laboratories have several limitations, such as expensive laboratory resources,limited space, schedule conflicts and short term exposure. Therefore, it is necessary to find Page 26.449.2alternative methods for enhancing the engineering laboratory experience.1,2.Over the past few decades, interesting laboratories have been developed in different branches

This will take more time and energy by all the participants,and will require a deeper type of contextual listening, and will likely not fit well within moretraditional academic structures. The process of deciding the relationship the program wants tohave with their community needs to be an ongoing dialog, grounded in historical context andreflection.

forimplementing them. In all three fields, there is a consensus among experts that education shouldbe relevant to problems in the real world and inquiry- or design-based. According to thesedocuments, both science and math education should emphasize applications to problems of technology, and technology education should be centered around analysis and problem-solving. ! In most of the discussions of curriculum reform, however, there is an odd neglect of acritical problem. The vast majority of teachers currently in the system have been narrowly trainedin ways often diametrically opposed to the new calls for contextual, interdisciplinary learning.Math

IntroductionChoosing a major is a daunting task for many first-year college students, especially if the choicesspan fields with which students have little exposure and experience. It is estimated that 20 – 50%of first-year college students enter college as “undecided” about their major[7]. In order toprovide first-year engineering students time to discern, a set of resources and course activitieswere created and assessed in an introduction to engineering course. The results of two studies arepresented in this paper.The structure of the remainder of the paper is as follows.
