Methods for Teaching Statics Dr. Anuja Kamat and Dr. Naseer Yari, P.E.Abstract:Statics is a sophomore level course in Civil Engineering. The curriculum for Statics includes forcesystems, equilibrium, truss analysis, centroid, and moment of inertia. It is usually observed thatthis is a difficult course for students and there are often close to 20% of students who do notsuccessfully complete this course at our university.This semester, we implemented a variety of methods to reduce the failure rate of students in thisclass. These methods include: increasing use of whiteboard and reducing the use of PowerPoint,using in-class, hands-on demonstrations, using videos for out of class

Integrating the Hardware-Software Codesign Concept in an Introductory Digital Design Course Pong P. Chu Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH 44115, USAbstract The hardware-software codesign paradigm divides the computation tasks into both softwareand hardware. The modern FPGA devices provide the “hardware programmability” and make thisscheme more relevant and accessible. We introduce this concept in an introductory digital designcourse via the end-of-semester case studies on a pre-configured platform. The carefully selectedcases incorporate the key course topics

Students Engineer Tools for Scientific Discovery via Empirical Research on the Mach Field Peter Mark Jansson PE PhD, Bucknell UniversityAbstract – This paper summarizes a summer of empirical research completed by undergraduateelectrical engineers who desired an experience of engineering beyond the classroom by grapplinghands-on with the tools of scientific discovery. In addition, the research focus of theirinvestigations required scientific equipment use, application of new data capture technologies,revisions to new scientific equipment and significant data analyses and interpretation. In this firstsummer research for the student team, they also realized how exciting and engaging it can be todevelop relevant

to enhance theeducational focus on current biochemical treatment methods could best prepare our students forsuccess in a future requiring different techniques than those commonly used at this time. Astrong ability to analyze and apply reduction-oxidation reactions will be essential forenvironmental engineers who will design future systems. Teaching common reduction-oxidationequations using a number line may help students visualize and quantify energy requirementsassociated with carrying out these chemical reactions, and it can prepare students for a futurerequiring new treatment aims and strategies. Our students anecdotally struggled with reduction-oxidation reactions, so we investigated how to address their concerns. We determined they

Revolutions, Regulations, and Realities: Licensure and Accreditation in the US and Canada Brandiff R. Caron Centre for Engineering in Society, Concordia University, Montreal, QCAbstract: In this thought piece I describe some recent successes in pushing forward a new (and potentially,revolutionary) kind of engineering education at my home institution: Concordia University. I situate thesesuccesses within the highly regulated context of engineering education in Canada. The piece ends with areflection on how some of the realities of engineering education in Canada often sit uncomfortably with theaspirations of those
