growing need for engineers to be involved in policy-making, especially at congressionaland senatorial levels. Some professionals have identified the significant amount of outsourcing ofengineering jobs to countries such as India and China as a contributing factor connected to the declininginterest in engineering. Furthermore, the quality of undergraduate engineers is not meeting the needs ofthe engineering industry. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for example, is calling forthe attainment of a Body of Knowledge (BOK) for entry into the practice of civil engineering at aprofessional level3. To attain the BOK, ASCE proposes appropriate technical experience be combinedwith the completion of either a master’s degree or approximately
Applied Science andEngineering’s Leadership Development Program has three main objectives: first, itstrengthens and enriches the experience of engineering students by providing coherent,structured and intentional learning opportunities to enhance their leadership development.Second, through leadership development in engineering education, it will enhance theability of its graduates to make significant contributions in their work place, theircommunity and society. Third, leadership development can enhance the connectionbetween the field of engineering, with all its technical, analytical and problem solvingcapability, and the realm of public policy, enabling graduates to contribute more fully totechnologically sound public policies.The program

Learning objectives for mostconstruction estimating course include educating students on the common practices of quantitytake off and surveys, material costing, evaluation of specialty and subcontractor quotations,overhead pricing and the compilation of a final cost estimate. However, most students do notunderstand the difficulty that a construction engineers undertake assembling competitive bidproposals on bid day. This paper will present a class exercise that can be used to simulate thecompetitive bid day environment.IntroductionThe instructional objectives of the competitive bid exercise are for the
platforms.Learning platforms allow the student’s work to be organized, and for digital resources to bereadily available, which can be submitted and reviewed. But also, students can communicatewith teachers and tutors.In France, except in experimental cases in a few penitentiaries, prisons are not connected tothe Internet. Therefore, educational and technical solutions for this particular setting must beprovided by instructors in higher education as well as instructional designers. The researchpresented in this paper is ongoing and it focuses on the project entitled, IDEFI (Initiativesd’Excellence pour l’enseignement et la formation innovantes) i, at the University of Paul-Valéry Montpellier.The objective of this project is to increase the success rate of
SystemEngineering technology students take a technical elective course in robotics during their senioryear. In this class, they design and build a telerobotic (master-slave) system to execute a simpleactivity of daily living. They use a Novint Falcon haptic device on the master side and build amanipulator for the slave side of the system. They design and build the interface in LabVIEWand design and build the electronics to control the slave manipulator. Some students haveadapted off-the-shelf robotic kits for the slave manipulator.
