Technical Writing Intensive, during which they brought their own papers, reports,theses, and dissertations, among other projects. This three-hour training session was broken upinto five segments, each with a 10-minute refresher on a key point, and then 20 minutes in whichthe students work on their own material and receive individual coaching.Evolving Structure of the Technical Writing Workshop SeriesOver time, the Technical Writing series evolved based on feedback from the engineeringgraduate students as well as their faculty advisors, as shown in Table 1. All the workshops takeplace on Friday mornings, in an effort to avoid conflict with required courses the graduatestudents may be taking. The workshops range in duration from one to three hours

critical technology thatcombines the above-mentioned recent advances in technologies to transform manufacturing intoessentially a commoditized "cloud-based service". Likewise, it has the potential to evokecreativity of the general population to design and create personalized products. To that end, oneof the key enablers of this paradigm is the recruitment and training of a new class ofmanufacturing workforce that can (1) combine engineering product design capabilities withinformation technology tools to convert ideas into components and (2) transform a wide range ofprecursor materials into products to meet advanced functional requirements by using cyber-enabled machine tools.

In general, most students preferredISPeL (42.1%) to PowerPoint (27.1%), with 30.8% having no preference (see Table 1). Inspecific situations, students preferred ISPeL over PowerPoint on six of eight items presented tothem, with the greatest preference for ISPeL in contexts where students want to make connectionsbetween topics, as a tool for additional information, and as an independent study aid. PowerPointwas only preferred as a tool for instructors to present course content and to organize the lesson. Table 1: Students’ Overall Evaluations of ISPeL

The operation of the working prototype is illustrated,showing automated problem generation, node and mesh analysis, and combination of series andparallel elements. Various graphical features are available to support student understanding, andan interactive exercise in identifying series and parallel elements is provided. When fullydeveloped this engine will be incorporated into a tutorial system designed to supplementconventional instructional approaches.1

Student and Practitioner Approaches to Systems Thinking: Integrating Technical and Contextual ConsiderationsSystems thinking is recognized as a critical skill for engineers tasked with addressing complexproblems in contemporary society [1] – [3]. Often, engineering definitions of systems thinkingforeground the ability to account for relationships between different technical components of aproduct or process. However, these definitions frequently underemphasize how technicalelements of a solution influence and are influenced by contextual and human aspects of aproblem, such as the cultural, political, and economic context, required to successfully address aproblem [4] – [6]. While there has been national attention [7], [8] to the

While many textbooks (and even web-based presentations) have only shortsections describing the interrelationships between topics, this system puts the relationship at thecore of the presentation of the material to make it more clear why a particular topic is beinglearned and how it fits into the larger context of linear systems.IntroductionAt its lowest level the learning process, according to Bloom’s taxonomy, involves moving astudent from simply remembering information to understanding it [1, 2].

The myth ofthe digital native has done more harm than good to the Millenial generation: It hasincreased older adults’ expectations about students’ baseline knowledge levels, and hasresulted in failure to educate students about topics that may greatly affect their futures. Itis time to base our curricula on research, rather than myth. The research reviewed so farshows that students need our help when it comes to social media, and social medialiteracy should be included in undergraduate college education. However, none of theprevious research has addressed the specific case of engineering and technology students.It is possible, that given their advanced technical skills, engineering and

Two of the five key activities identifiedby the Academy for improving the industry were: 1. Widespread deployment and use of interoperable technology applications, also called Building Information Modelling (BIM); 2. Improved job-site efficiency through more effective interfacing of people, processes, materials, equipment and information.1, p.1As a consequence of such recommendations the construction industry worldwide is beginning tomove towards collaborative design practices
