Powered by www.slayte.comDevelopment of an Introductory Nuclear Engineering Course for Non-MajorsAbstractThe introduction to nuclear engineering course at the University of Florida was redeveloped tomeet the needs of both students majoring in nuclear engineering as well as non-majors. Thecourse modules provide a survey of the nuclear engineering field including nuclear physics,nuclear fission, radiation detection, and nuclear safeguards. The course essay challenges non-majors to explore connections between nuclear engineering and their chosen major. Based on thesuccess of the current one-credit course and feedback from students, a separate three-creditnuclear engineering course for non-majors is being considered.IntroductionThis paper discusses

Producibility and Future Artifacts: Students Considering Manufacturing Lightsabers, Magic Wands, and Other Fantastical ProductsIntroductionEngineers often make great entrepreneurs. This is because they are to rapidly prototype anddesign products for any number of markets. Although most engineers have the aptitude todirectly influence the economy, they often need training with business ideas [1]. The idea of thetriple constraint is integral in the business and manufacturing worlds. This is the idea whereproduction can happen with the features of fast, good, or cheap (time, scope, cost); one isoptimized, the second constrained, the third left to be. A different but similar concept are thedesign ideas of feasibility

project will conduct a study of nontraditional students inengineering (NTSE) to better understand how to support their co-curricular activities so that theyare better able to persist with engineering as a discipline.Nontraditional students (NTS) are increasing both as a proportion of undergraduates and inoverall numbers. This is especially the case within engineering as people in the workforce returnto complete their degrees or are looking to finish school on a part-time basis. Online offeringsacross higher education institutions has further accelerated this trend. However, there is littleresearch into engineering students that possess characteristics associated with nontraditionalstudents. Engineering as an educational enterprise has been
partner of engineering technology programs; assuch, the level of influence that IABs have on engineering technology program governancedirectly impacts the programs’ responsiveness to the workforce needs of industry employers.Many higher educational institutions are engaged in continued development of engineeringtechnology degree programs to address industry needs for a technologically advanced workforce.Producing a workforce that can meet the national demand for high-tech goods and servicesrequires an enormous investment into the education of college-aged students.With the advent of smart manufacturing, or Industry 4.0, today’s need for technical talent hasoutpaced the university’s ability to provide skilled students to keep pace with
we drive toward 100% renewables. The primary tool for achieving these goals is mathematical modeling of metal processes, particularly electrochemical processes, validated by key experiments. I currently teach Materials Processing, Analytical Methods, and Statics. All of my classes use tests with two sittings, a practice which appears to improve learning outcomes via peer learning between the two sittings, as described by a paper at ASEE 2022. And drawing from 50 years of project based learning scholarship at WPI, most of my classes include a team project, though I haven't yet figured out how to scale this to classes larger than 50 students.Kimberly Lechasseur (Research & Evaluation Associate) Kimberly LeChasseur
