These methods include linearand non-linear proportion methods, and short-cut methods.IntroductionThe goals for the Engineering and Technology Fundamentals course students are to obtainknowledge of standard engineering and technology methods, and learn software tools forapplications. The knowledge of software gained in the course is used for technical report writing,project presentations, graphic visualization, engineering computation, and effectivecommunication. Note that the students are not required to have previous knowledge of electricalcircuits, digital logics, analog concepts, or software packages used in the course. The studentsideally are first year

A letdown was expected.

course syllabi are individually modified to specifically incorporatewriting assignments that match the designated IDM progression. These specified assignments arecalled “signature assignments.” At NU, course syllabi are the fundamental documents controllingcourse content and course learning objectives (CLOs). (CLOs are appropriately related andlinked to the overall PLOs for a program.) The inclusion of a specific writing assignment in acourse syllabus ensures that this ”signature assignment” will be included every time the course istaught, regardless of instructor or location. This is especially important for multi-campus systemsand institutions such as NU that provide both multiple locations and multiple modes of programdelivery – such as both

While literature of frontloading in post-secondary education is deficient, it ishypothesized that by combining these methods, frontloading and active learning, the resultinghybrid will become a more beneficial teaching method for students with learning disabilities.A preliminary study was conducted in Fundamentals of Engineering (MCET 101) to determine ifactive learning is more effective when students with learning disabilities are first front-loaded withinformation.

The instructors stand in front of the students andexplain the material while writing on the dry erase board. The students sit at the desk, listeningand taking notes. There is no doubt that the traditional way of teaching is still very effective andefficient. On the other hand, the shortcoming of this teaching method is that it is mainly a oneway communication. Our faculties have always been trying hard to make class more interactive,because interactive instruction provides knowledge check and assessment1.

some researchers11,22,6 question the value of lab experiments,there is no doubt that the lab experiment is a commonly employed teaching tool in industrialtechnology. The purpose of laboratory experiments in industrial technology is, as Gillet,Latchman, Salzmann, and Crisalle10 said, “…to motivate, illustrate, and enlighten thepresentation of the subject matter addressed in the lecture” (p. 190).A written report often follows the lab experiment in order to cause the student to reflect on,summarize, and quantify the laboratory experience. To learn by doing in the laboratory,followed by reflecting on that experience and writing about it in the form of a report, can onlyfurther enhance learning.

EducationAbstractThe Electromechanical Engineering Technology program at Alfred State College requires asequence of two courses in embedded systems. Embedded Controller Fundamentals andEmbedded Controller Applications. Both courses involve hands-on, project oriented laboratoryexercises. For the embedded controller courses, students are required to purchase a specified low-cost microcontroller evaluation system instead of a textbook. A reasonable priced reference text isrecommended, and students are strongly encouraged to use extensively the online manualsavailable from the microcontroller manufacturer. Among the many benefits that we have identifiedby requiring students to buy their own microcontroller system is that they learn to be more carefulwith safety

Engineering Problems with Objects of Simple Geometry and Relatively Complex Mathematical FormulationAbstract: There are several interesting engineering problems related to objects of simple geometrythat involve relatively complex mathematics. We consider three different problems in the area ofMechanics. These problems are discussed in our undergraduate classes without getting into themathematical details. In the ET 1840 - Engineering Fundamentals class we discuss the“brachistochrone” (path of shortest time) which is a cycloid. This is the trajectory of a point on adisk that rolls without slipping along a straight line. The equation involves the radial distance,and sine and cosine functions. This
