tocompetitively apply for funding opportunities to embark on such an enterprise. The venturecapital fund was created by a grant from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alli-ance, an initiative of the Lemelson Foundation.The Venture Capital Fund for the Junior Engineering ClinicThe Junior Clinic features a mixture of projects funded by industry and faculty research interests.Clearly, projects such as these are central to developing the design and problem solving skills thatare lacking in the typical engineering curriculum. What is often missing, however, in the industryand faculty-created design projects, is the spirit of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship.The spirit of entrepreneurship is best promoted by providing students with the
specifications of a desired tool and allow them to develop it. However, experienced developers should be used for complex tools. 6. Container: A container integrates all the constituent elements and makes them aware of each other. In order for this to be accomplished, all contributing objects have to be registered with the container. The container defines how these objects collectively cooperate in any application. In addition, the container provides the placeholders for all participating objects in an application. A person well versed in the subject area of the educational applet (e.g., in our case photonics) should be responsible for the design the container.The framework moves the responsibility, for the

Objectives of this course are thefollowing: • Hands-on experience in circuit analysis, • Signal conditioning, • Integration of sensors into electro-mechanical application, • Integration of digital circuit and microcontroller into electro-mechanical application, and • System-level design experience using electronics, sensor, actuators, and microcontroller.Mechatronics is a 4-credit course and is taught in an integrated lecture-lab format. In this format,there is no separate laboratory time. Class meets three days a week for two hours each day. Theinstructor
realize that continuing rapidchanges in electronic components, technologies, methods, equipment and jobs are the norm butfind it difficult to keep courses and curriculum are in step. Yet, more than ever it is essential thatacademia match industry and the consumer in keeping up with the technology.One way to update and improve the technician-level electronics curriculum is to adopt a systems-oriented rather than a component/circuit analysis approach that most schools still use. Thanks tohigh density integrated circuits, fewer and fewer discrete component circuits are in use today yetmost two-year schools continue to teach the analysis and design of discrete component circuitsthat few technicians actually encounter today.

This course has CS1 as a prerequisite so weexpect students to have some programming experience. We chose to use python in this course, asit is easy-to-use across many topics. It is a bonus that this allows us to introduce a language that isotherwise not a standard part of our lower-division curriculum.Our experience working with undergraduate research students helped inform our decisions abouttechnologies and approaches for this course. Mentoring undergraduate research students as theylearned python, git, and SQL helped reinforce the need for these topics in our curriculum andprovided an opportunity to try various tutorials, IDEs, and

By practicingand learning these skills the students become better prepared to interact in their engineeringcourses. Many of the personal interactions required of the workshop participants between facultyand their peers are what would be expected of them in their engineering curriculum.

Rhino. To lower operatingcosts, and to streamline the use of one software throughout the curriculum a survey wasdeveloped to see what software was being most widely used in industry. The result showed thatSolidWorks was most widely used and was gaining popularity in the markets of our constituents.The decision was quickly made to utilize SolidWorks throughout the curriculum for design andanalysis. This change prompted the university to purchase a larger license agreement which alsoallowed unlimited certification exam vouchers for students and faculty.In 2011, after becoming more confident in the ability of the students’ use of SolidWorks, the firstcertification exams were given. The Certified SolidWorks Associate exam was given as the finalexam

Recognizing the broad impact of medical imagingeducation on BME students, many institutions have established such a curriculum. Based on the Page 22.1057.2Whitaker Foundation’s BME program database31, there are 119 universities or colleges that haveBME programs in the nation. 70 undergraduate programs have been accredited by the ABET.Through the Internet, we surveyed these 119

The eighth-grade theme was“rocketry and algebraic reasoning.” Each camp is organized to include a morning teambuildingactivity, a STEM career awareness module, an algebraic reasoning model, a science contentmodule, and an engineering module. The curriculum was developed by Martinez Ortiz (2015) asan integrated program that embeds NASA science and engineering hands-on activities along witha variety of career awareness readings, videos and online resources as guided by science and mathlearning standards for eighth grade.

ABET criteria. One of the main ABEToutcomes is to have engineering students communicate effectively. Being a brilliant andcreative engineer is just not enough, in today’s global world engineers need be able towork and communicate in diverse teams and should be able to influence and engagecoworkers in discussions and negotiations. Writing technical information appropriately tocommunicate with others is essential and needs to be developed in technical subjects withstudents who study engineering. In this paper authors will describe and consider thecourse work plan for a successful capstone project taught at the Petroleum Institute, AbuDhabi.IntroductionCapstone design has become an integral component of the undergraduate engineeringprogram

Coupled with diminishing budgets and increasedaccountability for expenditures, many universities are turning to on-line, virtual laboratories.Virtual laboratories are often cited as being cost effective and having high availability to thestudents. This method does not give students the hands-on experience, however. Our solution toaddress the issue of modernization bounded by economics is through using LEGO® bricks. Wepresent several examples in this paper of how the LEGO® RCX programmable brick can be usedto teach traditional engineering laboratory experiments.These popular interlocking bricks are

Section T4A1 Meeting Two Needs: Teaching Engineering through Writing Chad A. B. Wilson Cullen College of Engineering University of Houston AbstractThis essay describes the theory behind the use of writing in engineering classes, as wellas several strategies for implementing such content-based writing. Despite thewidespread use of writing in disparate disciplines across the university, writing is notgenerally an integral component of “content” courses in engineering. In this essay, I buildon recent theories of
encounter in completing their design project. Troubleshooting skill is an importantand integral part of good engineering practice. This skill represents the ability to identify and fixa problem within an engineered system by strategizing the approach within a time-constrainedsetting. To address this weakness, our group of five Engineering faculty members formed alearning community to devise an initiative to better prepare students for troubleshooting tasks. Itis expected that this should help them not only achieve greater success in their senior designproject, but also better prepare them for the workforce. While several recent studies helpilluminate what types of short-term (within 1 course) interventions may be successful inimproving students

To streamline the articulation and joint curriculum development process, the team utilizes thestudent-centered Wiggins and McTighe curriculum development model [19]. The Wiggins and McTighemodel employs a “backwards design” that bases curriculum development on desired learning, or learningoutcomes. It is an appropriate model, since course articulation is being based on common learningoutcomes. Students transferring from Ivy Tech to Purdue are granted credit for articulated courses basedon shared learning outcomes. This model focuses on
