Proceedings of the 2018 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2018, American Society for Engineering Education Session ETD 305ConclusionsIn this paper, a new laboratory delivery approach to teach the concepts of sustainability atWestern Carolina University has been presented. This new approach aims to fill the gap inmeeting the learning objectives due to the lack of laboratory resources. The assessment resultsfor

scholarships of $2000; some of the companies also offer summerinternships with the scholarships. In addition to expendable, the department has been activelydeveloping endowed scholarships which will provide student funding into the future. While thescholarship amounts are small, they are appreciated and allow students to reduce their loanburdens.Industry Direction and FeedbackTechnology education must develop skills that encompass both theory and application orientedengagement activities similar to those which students experience in industry. While faculty iskeenly focused upon aspects of teaching, they look to industry to provide direction into areas ofneed from both curriculum and laboratory experience.

-prepared for college and have clear future career goals. This paper presentsthe results of a new two-week summer enrichment program that focuses on improving studentpreparedness for college, while promoting active learning through hands-on experiences andactivities. Students were introduced to various engineering disciplines through hands-onactivities that included topics in chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, computer science,electrical engineering, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering. The program alsoincluded two field trips where students toured a science laboratory and a manufacturing plantthat employ scientists and engineers from different disciplines.IntroductionIn 2014, nearly 45% of incoming freshman undergraduates entered

RTOS and introduce basic theoretic topics intheir microcontroller courses. As a result, students who have a good understanding of theory andconcepts of RTOS do not have the opportunity to map their knowledge onto real-worldimplementations. To bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and concreteimplementations, an embedded RTOS educational platform has been established for EETstudents in the Department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&MUniversity as well as in the Engineering Technology program at Northern Kentucky University.This paper only focuses on hardware design and development of the embedded RTOS platform.The laboratory curriculum development and student learning outcomes/feedback will

) under the Louis Stokes Alliance for MinorityParticipation (LS-AMP) project. These students had completed their second year at thecommunity college, and plan on pursuing a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline. Thecourse started with project-based teaching of fundamentals of electrical circuits, electronics, andinstrumentation followed by introduction to mechanical design. It concluded with design projectsusing the skills that students learned from the aforementioned subjects. The projects aimed atpromoting active learning, research, problem solving, and understanding the design process. Thepilot course was used to evaluate the instructional materials to be utilized later in developing anew junior level course in the computer

undertaking the ALERT (Active Learning inEngineering Technology) initiative to address the issue by implementing evidence-based activelearning techniques in selected courses to foster students’ interest and persistence. Statics,Dynamics and Thermodynamics are the target courses. Statics is a gateway course foundationalto the rest of the program, Dynamics is taken right after Statics, and Thermodynamics is one ofthe most challenging senior level courses. These courses are serving as the avenues formeasuring the effectiveness of using active learning techniques. The specific techniques we areimplementing are: in-class experiments, just-in-time teaching, team quizzes, and students asteachers. On a broader impact, the ALERT initiative will be the launch

Currently, the degree has a single focus area in Mechatronics,preparing students for careers in the design, development, implementation and support ofelectromechanical systems that are controlled through embedded hardware and software. The MXET degree is now being expanded to include new additional focus areas. The firstone of these areas is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) TeacherPreparation. In collaboration with the College of Education, a MXET focus area is beingcustomized to produce graduates who can sit for their Mathematics/Science/Engineeringcertification and who can teach at the

there is a significant need for industrial certificationprograms in robotics, since it is increasingly used across industry sectors to improve productionthroughputs while maintaining product quality. The benefits of robotics, however, depend uponworkers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to maintain and use existing robots, enhance futuretechnologies, and educate users. It is therefore critical that education efforts respond to thedemand for robotics specialists by offering courses and professional certifications in robotics andautomation. In an effort to help meet this need, the workshop introduced participants to newapproaches for teaching industrial robotics to match industry needs and provide a replicablemodel for programs around the

Paulo, BRAZIL E-mail: drciampi@copec.eu Abstract - It is a fact that even some engineering professors work in researches with the industry; it is interesting to note that the industry has little or no interest in investing in the training of engineers to work in the industries during under-graduation level. Their perception still does not show that it is an investment. The communications between engineering schools and industry has evolved however it is still very humble. Another fact is that university professors, who are often judged primarily by their performance as researchers, do not have time to develop relationships and resources beyond their teaching materials at their disposal.

andAaron Sams, in the spring of 2007. Both Bergmann and Sams were chemistry teachers atWoodland Park High School in Woodland, Park Colorado. The first flipped classroom sessionsused software to voice record over PowerPoint lectures. At the time students who attendedWoodland Park High School would often miss class to attend school sponsored extra-curricularevents. The first recorded lectures were used as a way to teach students who could not attend allclass sessions due to scheduling conflicts. After both teachers began using the model theynoticed how flipping improved student interaction both among peers and with the teacher1, 2.Flipped learning is a type of learner-centric model.
