The ultimate goal of this survey is to help inform how Making and makerspacescan best be incorporated into engineering and engineering technology education. Findings fromthis survey indicate that university makerspaces emphasize both education and entrepreneurshipin their primary uses, though they may vary in physical characteristics

A commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement. As I continue a career in engineering there will always be a need for continuous improvement. If one is not willing to improve themselves they will never succeed in the engineering field.VIII. Formulation of next level objectives.

The engineering students were from an urban campus of a majorstate university, the University of Michigan-Flint. The engineering technology students werefrom a private college, the Rochester Institute of Technology. The study used standardized andvalidated psychological tests in the form of an on-line survey to measure the volunteer’smotivation and maturity. Before the survey, some students had spent one or more terms workingin industry as Co-Op interns while others had not. Statistical analysis was used to determine ifstudent volunteers with Co-Op experience also had

The emphasis of the case study is on the specific waysthat curricular education and the co-operative education experience influencedeach other. Some support for the co-operative education experience came fromindividual courses such as freshman level CAD/CAM which prepared the studentfor a first co-op assignment on the design team where knowledge of the softwaretool Pro/Engineer was reinforced and expanded. This better prepared the studentto use CAD concepts and Pro/Engineer in subsequent academic courses. Somesupport came from the general engineering knowledge acquired in multipleclasses such as the

CasterShoXrequested a team of engineers and advertising students to generate and validate the application.As a team, a long list of ideas was generated and, using a rigorous process, they were evaluatedagainst a set of attributes to arrive at the final application. The advertising students analyzed thenew application with regard to its potential in the marketplace. The engineering studentsgenerated a prototype and test procedures that were used to

In the third week, students from the US andNicaragua will work together to design and prototype solution to a problem identified by local community members.The aim of the combined team will be to design a solution that can be made in Nicaragua and sold at a price thataverage Nicaraguans can afford.

education on the integration of IEGs into theCanadian engineering profession, more specifically regarding how such programs can facilitatesoft skill competencies deemed so critical to engineering success. Soft skills encompass non-technical professional skills used in everyday engineering practice and are critical to careerdevelopment. These competencies include not only the skill itself, but also the norms and valuesinherent in the North American manifestations of concepts of, for example, teamwork orcommunication skills. As such, a conjecture is that soft skills may include a distinctly culturalcomponent in which immigrant professionals need to develop competency, for career success.This paper presents data from a larger study investigating the

Thispaper will review several such competitions, evaluate the degree to which they contribute to theeducational experience of the students, and discuss some of the advantages and limitations ofthese activities.While traditional lectures, tutorials, and structured assignments are still essential to providing thefoundation for an understanding of engineering science and the skills required to solve math- andphysics-based problems, many of the abilities required by accrediting bodies and potentialemployers are difficult to achieve using these methods.
