Coghlan and Coughlan identified threeparticular insights into collaborative research, which are: 1) linking theory, practice, andcollaboration; 2) capturing differences while sustaining collaboration; and 3) managing quality[7]. These same insights apply to the use of cloud-based technology in the classroom, wherefocusing on business software literacy and skills in as close to real-world applications is critical[8]. AWS provides two separate groups within Amazon that assist in sharing resources andexpertise; the AWS Academy and the AWS Educate. To bridge the gap between small scale andtheoretical cloud skills to deployment in business scale systems, AWS

The CC facultyalso attended sessions by the leaders of the research topics (alternative energy, cyber security,wearable medical devices, green and sustainable manufacturing, and nanotechnology) that gavethem an overall view of current research goals and progress. The goal of hosting these seminarsis to describe real world problems being worked on, as well as providing access to leading-edgeresearch outside of their own primary laboratory.Beyond these seminars and workshops, CC faculty were asked to complete weekly homeworkassignments that asked them to reflect on their research progress and

emphasis placed on ethics in professional and industrial organizations appearing tosatisfy the question as to whether or not engineers need a code of ethics, the question remains –where does the engineering student get introduced into the world of ethical decisions and theunderstanding of the career exposures that may occur? If ethics are as important as they appearto be, then greater emphasis must be placed on the subject. Engineering students must beexposed to hypothetical, or real, examples of ethical decisions and the choices made discussed inthe classroom. We cannot continue to short-shift the subject if we are going to continue to insistthat students practice in an “ethical” manner. Discussions on ethics may prove uncomfortable.Discussions

During her postdoc at New York University and at Caltech, she co-developed a very effective level-set method for computing multi-phase flows, which has generated a lot of excitements in the computational fluid dynamics com- munity. Besides teaching mathematics at Pasadena City College, she has devoted herself to developing effective teaching and learning strategies.Encouraging students to showcase their STEM learning with real life applications, she has initiated and led the annual Pi Day Student Conferences at Pasadena City College since 2013.

In addition, students from community colleges bring differentand unique experiences as some have previously been in the workforce or served in the armedforces.Research is a significant component of using the content learned in the classroom and applying itin a real-world context. As important as it is for REU Programs to recruit from communitycolleges, it is just as significant for the students to engage in a research program.

helps them develop new skills, new attitudes, andnew ways of thinking that will broaden their expertise [12] – [15].Project-based learning is a way to train students to apply directly what they have learned andbroaden the scope of their knowledge [16] – [18]. Having the opportunity to use criticalthinking to solve challenging problems, students are able to take their learning to a higherlevel. The real-world application demonstrates the mastery of material since it goes beyondjust basic recall understanding. Students design and build the whole solution based on theiranalysis and research of the problem and needs of the “customer”.Active learning is a technique where students get actively involved in the learning process ratherthan just simply

I learned a lot aboutcurrent trends that I can share with my students. This was truly wonderful.· What I appreciated most about this workshop (other than getting a FREE 3D printer for ourschool!) was the realization that so much is possible with this type of equipment, and with equipmentthat is not completely out of reach financially when it comes to initial cost or consumables cost.

starting at UCDavis to be better prepared.Computer programming is a skill required in most undergraduate engineering programs, oftenusing MATLAB. Incorporation of MATLAB/computer programming in discipline-specificcourses can connect practice exercises in programming fundamentals to real-world applications.In one such example [7], the authors used MATLAB and C programming in a first year electricalengineering course, with the application being the control of hardware devices such as sensors,input devices, and output devices. Many non-computer programming UC Davis engineeringcourses also require students to apply their knowledge of programming with MATLAB todiscipline-specific problems. For example, the UC Davis chemical engineering
