times during its life. Plantoperations are, in principle, addressed in the traditional process control course(s) in theundergraduate curriculum. However, the operability of complete processes is usually outside thescope of these courses.An observation from teaching process design over a period of approximately 25 years is thatstudents have become increasing adept at using computer software and performing increasinglycomplex simulations using simulator software. Parametric optimization and extensive heatintegration are examples of improvements that can be and that are now easily simulated butwould have been nearly impossible or prohibitively time consuming only 25 years ago. Thisimprovement in software acuity seems to come at the price of
Group LogisticsAs described elsewhere6, students arrive at PLTL groups to find that the mentor hasorganized the seating in the room to be in a U-shape with all chairs and desks facing thewhite board. The mentor takes a seat as if s/he is a part of the group. The mentorfacilitates collaborative group work by opening communication and asking aboutproblem areas from the lecture or homework. Once a problem is stated, the mentor willopen up the discussion of the solution to the whole group. Students begin to work on theproblem which is often chosen from their assigned homework problems. In thebeginning, students may need assistance finding procedures to solve problems in thetextbook, at which point mentors will use some tutoring skills. As the

An example ofa question from an ethics survey is given below.Q: What was the most useful or meaningful thing(s) you learned?A samples of answers from students is given below: 1) “ I learned about due care in product design and manufacturing. I knew about liability but did not know about magnitude” 2) “The true purpose of engineering is not quality/ productivity of the product (though those are important) but it is the safety of the user/consumer” 3) “A failure in design is not necessarily a bad situation. Failures drive innovation.”Engineering technology curriculum does not have a course on cost analysis.

A web-based literature survey is carried out to determine the faculty workloadpolicy that currently exists at various colleges and universities across the country, and thisinformation is used in developing the proposed ET faculty workload model presented in thispaper.IntroductionThe issue of scholarship in Engineering Technology (ET) is becoming an important topic ofdiscussion within

The textbook/lectures already covered Gathering Information, "First Cut"s, and Revision, which are simple to grasp, but the Projects give a sense of what can get done in a given amount of time, how easy/difficult it is to actually apply those steps to a real problem, and (especially) what setbacks can occur in the process and what the end result (not just the prototype but the written work too) will look like.”Two of the short answer questions asked what elements of the design process were most or leasthelpful to the students during the project. It was interesting to the author that both questionsyielded very similar responses. Two methods for organizing brainstorming, mind mapping and3-6-5, as

Engineering Education, 2012 Incorporating Clickers and Peer Instruction into Large Structural Engineering ClassroomsAbstract Interaction and feedback are particularly challenging in large lecture environments,where class size limits student-faculty interaction. Clickers can be used to ensure studentsunderstand fundamental concepts by providing instant feedback to the instructor about studentknowledge gaps or misconceptions [1]. The use of clickers also helps maintain students’motivation and engagement in what’s going on in class, and provides an opportunity for PeerInstruction (PI). Clickers have been used since the 1980’s in many science and humanitiescourses such as physics, biology, chemistry, history

This percentage is much higher than the current 18.2% of womenenrolled.
