The course was coupled with laboratory reports, written reports, and oralpresentations to achieve these objectives and capture evidence of students' learning and skillsdevelopment.Of particular relevance for this course was the integration of ELT principles to coordinate andorchestrate the laboratory assignments that built the necessary skills and practices so studentswould successfully complete their semester-long projects
Circuits CourseAbstract As engineering instructors, we continue to review and test novel pedagogical ideas thatcan better engage engineers in learning the challenging fundamentals of our very often rigorousengineering curricula. This paper explores one significant change to the laboratories of ourfundamental circuits course (ECEG 210) at Bucknell University. After students completed manycore laboratories during the first half of the semester, we challenged student teams to considernew applications of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology to provide reliable electricity to variouselectrical end-uses at the residential level (off-grid). The students derived with many creativeapplications and developed and tested minimum viable product (MVP

A challenge associated with NGSS and ASEE implementation is the meaningful integrationof science and engineering knowledge and skills in precollege teaching and learning. Researchhas identified issues that science teachers encounter with integrated STEM instruction, includinglack of relevant content knowledge, lack of administrative support, and weak self-efficacy inengineering pedagogy [4,10,11]. Research in STEM integration education has suggested thatinnovative instructional models and curricular resources are needed to demonstrate how scienceand

Awards. These awards are offered toprofessionals, artists, and people from academics at any career level. However, some awards maybe for certain types of scholars and are limited to specific career levels. In general, some awardsallow you to select the country and/or host institution while others do not permit that. Similarly,some awards require you to have a letter of support from the host institution at the time ofapplication. For the Fulbright Scholar award, there are three different categories: Teaching,Research, and Teaching-Research. The research award consists of activities related to research thatincludes scientific research, practice-based research, etc. The research work can be applied andcan take place in a laboratory, field, or an

Such is the case of implementing InteractiveLearning Demonstrative methodologies (ILD) introduced by [14] and integrating thelaboratory into physics classes [15] and [16].The reasons for the lack of motivation [6] that primary and secondary students have inlearning physics are difficulty in understanding what they are being

Another aspect of teaching involvescollaborative learning (CL) where students are divided into functional teams.

the analysis of the applicationsusing them. This approach is used in many different areas of electrical engineering and withsuccess in engineering science programs. However, many of the engineering technologyprograms would not be able to implement this approach easily due to the limitations on extracourse credits available, and the time needed to complete prerequisite courses in math andphysics as well as the higher levels of math and physics required compared to engineeringscience programs. Another obstacle to a practical teaching approach is a lack of properlyequipped laboratories because of the prohibitively higher prices of the equipment used in RFengineering compared to other areas in electrical engineering [2].Curriculum Design

haveshown, using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), that the size of the particles in the weldednugget are much smaller for the samples with SiC powder than the samples without the powder[4,6]. The finer grains in the Al-Fe-SiC composites impeded the formation of new dislocations inthe materials, causing the strength of the material to increase. This is the same mechanism for theincrease in hardness. In most engineering laboratories, an SEM will not be used for more basiclabs, but many classes teach about the use and purpose of the SEM. However, teaching studentsabout what they should expect to observe when using an SEM is just as important, such as grainsizes and IMC layers, and how they are expected to affect mechanical properties

Learning Styles of Construction Management StudentsAbstractStudents take in and process information in different ways. College faculty members‘teaching methods are not all the same. However, rarely there are any efforts by facultymembers to harmonize their teaching styles with their students’ learning styles. Whenthere is a major mismatch between the learning styles of majority students and teachingstyles of the instructors both get frustrated. Although it is not possible for the instructorsto match individual learning styles of every student in the class, as long as there is abalance in teaching method in relation to the teaching styles of the majority of thestudents overall effectiveness of the teaching in the class will rise. It is theorized

Lastly, structural engineering coursesrequired for both CEEN and AEEN students are traditionally cross-linked and taught as a singlecourse (due to limited number of faculty). These courses are not differentiated in Table 1.Examples of course modules include: • CEEN / AEEN 3303 (Structural Analysis) teaches students to calculate the effects of external loads on structural components. Key to student success in advanced structural design and capstone courses is development of a systemic view of a structure and the ability to specify ultimate structural demands.
