During this research, thestudent team worked independently, provided regular communications of status and progress andlearned how exciting it can be to work on scientific discovery. They know that these experienceshelped develop skills that will make them successful in future workplace or research settings.They developed goals for the future research teams to come after them, (such as

Furthermore,the workforce background should be fully considered in the education process preparation.Different levels of courses and hands-on training are developed for trainees with diversebackgrounds and needs.Since research development should be driven by industry-wide problems, we first describe thechallenges and needs from

Department Buffalo, New York Buffalo, New YorkAbstract In today’s engineering education, challenges exist to motivate and educate students fromthe millennial generation, such as closing the gap between 21st century workplace demands anda 21st century education, enhancing students’ passion for learning and commitment to lifelonglearning, better infusing 21st century skills into the classroom, and so on. Among various highimpact practices and educational technology, real world problems and hands-on experience areefficient approaches to improve the learning experience of engineering technology students. Inthis paper, a college industry partnership was established through Industrial Advisory

Since students in the considered engineering program already takea course which uses traditional laboratory reports, it is desirable to introduce some uniquewriting assignments to help develop their practical skills for their careers.The proposed study will assess the effectiveness of introducing unique short writing assignmentsinto a dynamic systems laboratory course which traditionally involved full laboratory reports asdeliverables. These assignments were designed with the following key objectives: 1. Reduce the length of the assignment 2. Provide real-world context and current applications of writingThe hypothesis of this work is that the shortened writing assignments will

technology. It differs from othertraditional pedagogical approaches to teaching ethics as well. This assessment mechanism allows students toengage with real technologies that have real social, ethical, and legal dimensions. In this way, students areencouraged to learn experientially through a real-world technology that is being developed in real-time. Each of these has been accomplished within the last five years. Rather than dwell on the details of eachof these success stories we here seek to uncover and foreground the context in which these successes were madepossible. As my colleagues and I discussed the common denominator between each of our initiatives, we cameto realize that it is largely the unique opportunities provided by our

the world outside of the classroom, and reflection on this for higherorder learning and development of new skills and capabilities. Problem-based Learning (PBL) isan inductive, active learning approach that connects learning to real world problems, andprovides a context in which students can tether their knowledge and internalize courseconcepts. Students are thus motivated to seek out a deeper understanding of the conceptsthey need to address the problems presented in a course.This research focuses on going beyond the technical lecture to enhance the student experiencethrough PBL and experiential education techniques, based on implementation in the RochesterInstitute of Technology’s (RIT) College of Engineering Technology, in courses

Design and analysis of the cost-effective wireless sensor network for Energy and Resource optimizationAbstract: In today’s world, sensors are everywhere! This paper proposes the use of motion sensorswith Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices to create smart Wireless Sensor Network (WSN).Normally, motion sensors act discretely to turn ON/OFF devices based on human/animal detectionin the Field of View (FoV) of the sensor. However, by examining analog movement pattern fromthe sensor can reveal important information such as direction of travel and other valuableinformation about the underlying object movement. The analog wave pattern is processed viasignal processing and time-series algorithm. Later

paths.This paper describes a STEM-Summer Enrichment program offered on the campus of Penn StateHarrisburg since 2016. This free, two-week program is designed for rising junior and seniorstudents that are interested in STEM already, or interested in finding out more about the differentSTEM fields. Since the program’s inception, there has been a steady increase in qualifiedapplicants. In 2016 the program hosted 28 students with an increase to 33 students in 2017.With the 2018 program, there was such a large pool of applicants (80+), so funding was soughtto run a second, concurrent, workshop. The program was able to give 62 high school studentsthe opportunity to participate in active learning sessions, field trips, and team-focused STEMactivities. Of

method thatrequires students to gain knowledge to solve real world problems. Ram et. al. 2007 points outthat student lack of interest is often attributable to the lack of real-world relevance found in atypical course. Ram further points out that using PBL successfully helps develop skills inlifelong learning that are not always present in the classroom. PBL helps students develop self-assessment independent of a teacher directing them. Mills et. al. 2003 poses the question “doesproblem-based learning work in engineering?” Mills concludes that “chalk and talk” pedagogyalone, is not the answer to teaching. Rather a mixture of traditional coursework and PBL islikely to be more successful. This is true here too, and after some reflection, some

Unfortunately, with all what AM has tooffer, the quality and repeatability of metal parts still hamper significantly their widespread asviable manufacturing processes. This is particularly true in industrial sectors with stringentrequirements on part quality such as the aerospace and healthcare sectors. One approach toovercome this challenge that has recently been receiving increasing attention is processmonitoring and real-time process control to enhance part quality and repeatability. This has beenaddressed by numerous research efforts in the past decade and continues to be identified
