technology education focuses on applied science and engineering and application of theory in real-world problems. Courses are aimed at preparing graduates for practice in a specific field of the technological spectrum. Courses are laboratory based and have a high component of practical practice and practical application. Hands-on experience is stressed in an educational environment targeted at producing “job ready’ graduates. As a degree program in Software Engineering Technology, the developed curriculum offerslaboratory based courses in hardware construction and design and software construction anddesign. Class sizes are targeted at 20 students. Laboratories are taught by the professors givinglectures. All students

An additional question raised by Lee regarding the means and methods of providing studentswith “cost awareness” is inconclusive and reflects the diversity of the professionals surveyed. Insummary, Lee states architectural design education is more focused on the ideology of designinstead of socially responsible design, inferring that teaching students the relationship betweendesign and costs is both appropriate for the development of students who will be practical emerg-ing professionals.

The goals of our curriculum redesign are to maintain our curricular flexibilitywhile introducing a theme-based structure focused on major concepts and principles, andto integrate this theme throughout the core and the technical focus areas. This theme,Integrated Sensing and Information Processing, reflects the active research areas of themajority of the ECE faculty, and embodies key concepts of all components of ECEwithin a real-world framework. During the planning phase, we developed andimplemented an assessment plan and obtained baseline results, investigated modernpedagogical techniques and integration approaches, and defined a process for ourcurriculum redesign.

In this model, writing andchemistry each account for half of the curriculum. 4.

In the first mode, create a spe-cific integrating course around natural resource sustainability as sketched here. An alternative isto use the same integrated natural resource material as examples in other courses in appliedmathematics (differential equations, matrix algebra, control theory, optimization, and stochasticdynamics). This approach loses the coherence of the resource theme as a component of sustain-ability, instead adopting with a “natural resources across the curriculum” theme.InfrastructureOne of the defining characteristics of civil infrastructure

This course is mainly structuredaround a multi-stage team project which is mostly mechanical in nature but requires enoughelectro-mechanical integration to effectively introduce the scope, reach and potential ofMechatronics. Every student obtained their own Arduino Uno microcontroller and a set of basicelectro-mechanical components, which greatly facilitated hands-on learning at an individuallevel.

The goal of these PD workshops was toincrease teacher’s confidence and capability in integrating culturally relevant computing andcoding experiences within their curriculum and instruction. Here, we set our focus on the impactof the PD. Through the PD, teachers were engaged in computing and coding professionaldevelopment via Code.org. The teachers were then asked to apply what they learned aboutcoding by developing and implementing culturally relevant computing and coding experiencesfor their students. Here, we share early findings from three of the teacher
