Session ETD 305 Mobile Lab Bench to Promote Engineering and Technology Education in Sustainability Topics – Year 1 H. Bora Karayaka, Robert Adams School of Engineering and Technology, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC, USAAbstract“Demonstration” and “Discussion” are two important learning tools that effectively promotestudent retention and comprehension as outlined in the famous learning pyramid of the NationalTraining Labs (Figure 1). In a laboratory setting where resources are limited to accommodate allstudents, these tools together can be the

formation of engineers ready for industrial work environment. It is the result of a research developed by the engineering research team of COPEC – Science and Education Research Council.IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF ENGINEERING COURSES AT THE PRESENTPresently engineering courses are full of important core subjects, however it is necessary toinnovate and find ways to embed the curricula with important topics to attend the current globaltrends. Once engineering skills are internationally portable, leading to international mobility,which engineering can easily provide, and it is, in fact, an increasing trend. Intercultural skills,knowledge of languages and cultural prejudice management are very important, becauseopportunities are broad less and it is

Our approachaims to address, through short and long term goals, each of these recommendations.Educational Need: Robotics is a great tool to promote STEM fields and educators have beenmaking measurable progress toward improving STEM education from primary to tertiary levelsof education, but challenges remain. Given the current shortage of student interest in STEMeducation, increased attention has been given to the appeal and attraction of Robotics. In theclassroom, robotics can easily be used to introduce a variety of mandatory skills needed topursue a variety of STEM career paths 14-17, 22, 24. More specifically, a robotics platform advancesstudents’ understanding of both

They are all definitely necessary and relevant. It is very important to have a thorough introduction on both sides of engineering involved. However, is there enough time for all of the contents to be taught in just one semester? Should this be broken down to two

the first day with the university’smascot. A group picture of workshop participants is shown in Fig. 1.Figure 1. Group picture of workshop participantsProgram staff included 11 faculty members and three university student assistants: 2undergraduates and 1 graduate student. The program staff were culturally diverse (Asian,African-American, Middle-Eastern, etc.) with 5 female and 9 male staff members. Each sessioninstructor met with the student assistants for two-four hours prior to the workshop to train theassistants to ensure that adequate help would be available during the sessions.

be directly attributed to theexposure to elements such as video. So, while the addition of the video enhanced the coursecontent and improved the overall experience, the study could not find any direct quantifiableevidence that videos improved student learning.Studies examining undergraduate and graduate online education programs at various collegesand universities support similar findings. In a study by Kao 7 at State University of New York(SUNY) at Stony Brook, the investigator incorporated video podcasts (done through iTunes) intoseveral undergraduate and graduate level mechanical engineering courses with class sizesranging from 20 to 60 students. Based on an analysis of 16 end-of-semester surveys, 90% of thestudents indicated that

more of a lack of interest. I began to research how I might better reach this group ofstudents that I identified as being from the millennial generation. Looking at the demographics ofthe students in my program, I determined that approximately 60% of the students were bornbetween 1982 and 2001, the range reported to define the millennial generation.1 While thedisengaged students did fall within this age range, the majority of this group did not exhibit thesecharacteristics. I concluded that there must be another contributing factor. The students in the2+2 program have completed an associate’s degree: Associate of Science (A.S.) or Associate ofApplied Science (A.A.S.). Most of the A.A.S. graduates were employed in their field of studyand were

Tradiational Engineering Technology majors typically focus a significant majority of theplan of study in deep explorations in “required” topic areas, or sub-fields. For example, inElectrical Engineering Technology students must study analog and digital electronics,microprocessors and programming, electrical power, and radio frequency communications.Similarly, Mechanical Engineering Technology students are required to study statics, dynamics,thermodynamics, hydraulics, mechanics, and materials.

, BRAZIL E-mail: drbrito@copec.eu Abstract - The differences between ET and traditional engineering programs are not always obvious. There is a great overlap between the two fields of study. In most engineering schools, both types of engineering programs strongly emphasize mathematics and science, especially physics and calculus. While the main topics in both programs appear similar, ET content emphasizes the application of engineering techniques and traditional engineering content will focus on the development of concepts, it is what is called design engineering. ET graduates and traditional engineering programs complement each other in skills and interests. Application engineers work with
