Severalfaculty members within the programs, along with assistance from IAB members recognized aneducational gap between the students entering undergraduate degrees interested in robotics(based off of their robotics experiences in high school), and the demand from industry lookingfor graduates with knowledge in automation and industrial distribution.

Thispaper discusses how standards are incorporated into mechanical design and quality controlcourses, as well as strategies for integrating standards into more courses in an MET curriculum.In addition, a discussion of standards resources that are freely available is included. Finally, acall to action for industry is presented, explaining the need and potential areas where industrycan

curriculum will be the basis to understand the system level approachof specifying, breakdown, hardware/software development, and integration of an embeddedsystems course. In such a course students typically explore microprocessor architecture,instruction sets, interfacing, and real-time programming techniques in assembly language.Laboratory exercises usually consist of system level development in serial and parallel datatransfer, data acquisition, and analog input and output signal processing. The most commonchips used in microprocessor courses are the Motorola HC11/12 or the Intel 8051.

Wesuspect it may be due to traditional Engineering programs’ requirement of higher levels of mathand science classes, often lacking in under-privileged or underserved urban or rural high schools.Recently published research by the New York Equity Coalition supports this supposition.Understanding the reasons for the higher representation of these students in ET can provideinsights on the background of these students for developing effective practices and programmingto improve retention of this cohort. It would also provide useful information for increasing thediversity of traditional engineering programs. This paper presents initial findings from a work inprogress that is part

In 2015, when overhauling the Quality inManufacturing course curriculum to integrate more practical lab experiences, it became an idealtime to reassess what skills would most benefit students as they prepared to enter the workforce.To start, several alumni and industry professionals were contacted to discuss what existing gapswere present when it came to students understanding quality control within a manufacturingenvironment, as well as their

This paper offers suggestions, from the perspective of what studentsreally need to know as they begin their professional careers, for technical instructors new to thefield of ethics, focusing on the following: resources, approaches, and case methodology.ContextWhile many colleges and universities offer ethics classes through specialized departments, thispaper advocates an “ethics across the curriculum” (EAC) approach. Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.

It is beneficial to faculty advisor to understand as much as possible about all programs and the department as a whole. Faculty advisor also should be knowledgeable about courses, curriculum, policies, strategies, and an in-house procedure. They should also be aware of any changes to the program and relay that information to students as soon as possible.ConclusionEffective academic advising is crucial to the long term success of students in Engineering andEngineering Technology disciplines.

His music was stored and controlled by a laptop. Thishad several drawbacks. First, he had to stay at the table with the laptop to start or mix anymusic; he wanted to have options to control the music with a hand-held device, like a smartphone. Another concern was the vagaries of the PC operating system: if the computer needed tore-boot, or had other problems with software, the

Whereas the online content provides students with information in a manner that isflexible in time, place, and pace, the classroom element provides them with an opportunity to getinstructor guidance, collaborate with peers, practice applying concepts, and exploring topics ingreater detail. The online and classroom portions are blended through their integrated andsynergistic nature.This paper summarizes the results of a project in which a “blended learning” model was used fortwo different required courses (taught by two different faculty) within the Constructiondepartment. One course was a sophomore level “Introduction to Structures” course and the otherwas a senior level course in
