One course focuses on Structural Design, while the other capstonecourse relates to Construction Management. Student teams from both courses work together on the designand construction of a building structure. Typically, the building structure is a project provided by a localstructural engineering or construction management firm. By working

Withindustry assistance and funding, students work on faculty/student industry projects andfaculty/company directed capstone senior design projects, as a bridge between education and thework environment. Through our Engineer-In-Residence program, Technology graduate studentsare placed at companies and supported for a semester long “in-house” project. There are manyother avenues used to provide pathways between industry and academics.We have developed a strong triangle which links student, industry, and university.

Graduate Program at the University of Hartford attracts a diverse studentpopulation. There are native and international students of many faiths and cultures, and typicallya small number of Muslim students. Over the years we have had students from Saudi Arabia,Turkey, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Palestine. The majority of our students have littleif any exposure to the Muslim faith and culture. Therefore, for some a great deal of research isrequired for this 6-week long architectural design project.Project LocationIn an effort to keep the project fresh, we have used different sites, all of which come with uniqueissues.

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.

The survey questions asked students about the degree ofproficiency in subjects of network management before and after they took the course. This paperdiscussed the analysis of the survey results. The results revealed that our pedagogical methodsuccessfully provided an effective way to help students in learning the subjects of networkmanagement.IntroductionNetwork management has become an important issue with the rapid growth of the

The benefits of robotics, however, depend on workers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to maintain and use existing robots, enhance future technologies, andeducate users. It is critical that education institutions respond to the demand for roboticsspecialists by offering courses and professional certification in robotics and automation.

important to be able to adapt to any different culturalenvironment.Another fact, which is not new, is that many engineering students have a lack of knowledgeabout what being an engineer really means. The first 3 years are particularly intense and hard. Apossible way to improve their perception about the profession is to implement a new kind ofcourse, more enticing and dynamic. This is one of the proposals of COPEC’s engineeringeducation research team: - to embed a course with a more interesting activity for students,sooner, in the first year.
