This research emphasizes theurgent need for climate-conscious engineering education.Challenges and SuccessesLeal-Filho et al. [12] suggests that universities take the following actions to address climatechange education: ● Cross-cutting Emphasis: Ensure climate change is integrated across various courses and disciplines. ● Curriculum Assessment: Identify strengths and weaknesses in existing curricula to guide improvements. ● Staff Training: Provide training programs to enhance the expertise of teaching staff. ● Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Foster
Development of Engineering Skills Using Online ToolsAbstractEngineering education extends beyond mere knowledge acquisition and encompasses thedevelopment of a comprehensive skill set valued in the industry. A novel approach to fosteringengineering skills using online tools is presented in this paper, addressing the limitations oftraditional teaching methods. The alignment between ABET student outcomes and industry-desired skills was analyzed, and the need for improved skill development methodologies inengineering curricula was identified. Five key elements of skill development are focused on:personal investment, practice, feedback, realistic expectations, and supportive environments. Aninnovative educational tool utilizing online platforms was
Engineering Courses to Enhance Student LearningAbstractIn recent years, many universities are looking for alternatives to in-person teaching. Offeringengineering courses in online formats: either fully web-based or hybrid format can be quitechallenging. While some students still prefer in-person teaching for engineering courses, thereare also significant benefits to online formats. For many universities/programs, it is a way ofattracting nontraditional students as well as students from other universities since it generatesadditional student credit hours, which would not be possible with traditional in-person class.With this in mind, we started offering two engineering courses: one design class at theundergraduate level, and another materials class at

oftrigonometry [3]. The role of trigonometry in engineering education cannot be overemphasized. Having a strong trigonometric background when leaving high schoolis a must [2]. Trigonometry links several areas of math including algebra,geometry, and graphing functions. It must also be mastered before attemptingcalculus.Forming a strong foundation in pedagogical content knowledge [4] is critical inrelating trigonometry to students. This was first realized to recognize teaching aprofession. Educators must be able to change their style and methods of teaching toaccommodate a vast array of student learners and a vast array student mathematicalability.Pedagogical content knowledge among educators can be very different from theiractual mathematical knowledge

engineering topics like Materials Science and Statics in their second year. They do notencounter CAM until their junior year. Since there is a one-year gap between the related topics,the CAM course needs to be designed with proper guidance on the prerequisite materialsthroughout the learning process.This paper presents the development and assessment methods of the CAM course at FarmingdaleState College. The course teaches students how to use MasterCAM, one of the leading softwaretools in the industry, for CAD modeling and toolpath programming. The course also incorporatesbest practices in machining, which are crucial for toolpath programming. Given the wide range oftopics covered, the assessment methods for these topics vary.
