the forefront ofarchitectural discourse. Architecture returns to realm of making, rather than conceptualizing.Traditional or digital form making not only considers structural behaviors of particulargeometries, as was the case with Antonio Gaudi’s or Frei Otto’s works [ 7], but also startsconsidering material properties that could only be partially accounted for in Otto’s soap-bubblemodels. Computational environments not only allow for readdressing materiality that is oftenmissing from the design process, but also allow for asking speculative “What if…” questions.Material properties can be parametrically investigated in similar ways to tectonics or buildingperformance characteristics such as lighting or thermal behavior.Educational Design

open source which is its greatest strength but at the same time, it can be considered as its greatest weakness because there are not many defined standards for NoSQL databases; so, no two NoSQL databases are equal. 2. No stored procedures in Mongodb (NoSql database). 3. GUI mode tools to access the database is not flexibly available in market. 4. It is so difficult to find NoSQL experts because it is the latest technology and NoSQL developers are in learning mode [5, 6, 10, and 11].Differences between Relational Database and Big DataPersonal user information, geographic location data, user-generated data and text, machine-logging data,sensor-generated data, and satellite images are just a few examples of the ever-expanding

For example, a professor of computerscience could have programming type activities where the high school students could learn toprogram with various stations such as making a basic website, programming a simple javaprogram, and maybe working on building a simple video game scene. A professor of engineeringcould have activities set up in stations such as a pick and place robot, building robots andprogramming them using Lego Mindstorms, solid modeling with tools like AutoCad and/orSolidWorks, and Audrino robotics programing.

the Adjusted Sum of Square (Adj SS) values, weunderstand that mold temperature has greater influence on shrinkage compared to the melttemperature.In this research, only molding and melt temperatures were considered as the key parameters dueto the high computational time required for the simulations. The complexity of the injectionmolding process means that including a wider range of parameters would have significantlyincreased the simulation time. However, there are several other factors that can influence theinjection molding process. In future studies, it would be beneficial to include parameters such asinjection pressure, filling time, packing pressure, cooling time, gate size, gate locations, coolingchannel number, and orientations.

crucial as theyconceptualize what it means to be an engineer. Instructors must consider what disciplinaryknowledge should be imparted to students at this stage of their study, while also deciding how itmight most effectively be transferred [3]. For many FYE programs, the result is a hands-onproject focused on one or more disciplines of engineering. Oftentimes, these projects aretechnical, focusing on subjects like robotics [4], [5] or boat design [6]. Others involve a service-learning based approach, collaborating with local initiatives to address challenges in thecommunity [7]. Previous projects at this study’s institution included the design of solar ovens,remote-controlled car attachments, autonomous model airplanes, and aesthetic vertical
critiques of engineering culturesAbstractEngineers are often taught that ethics entail the adherence to a code of conduct, which can guidetheir professional behavior. Alternatively, engineers may learn that research ethics arerepresented by the principles of Responsible Conduct of Research. Both of these approaches askfor engineers to learn, accept and conform to values that are instantiated by externalorganizations. This is intended to support an individual’s decision-making in the face of discretemoral or ethical quandaries. Prior scholarship by Donna Riley, Erin Cech and Amy Slaton offercritiques of engineering culture that point to the myth of objectivity, reductionism, and grit,while underscoring an uncritical acceptance of authority.

developed as part of this initiative.The Need for the Creative Problem Solving CourseAt LTU and at most institutions, in the freshman year, all engineering students complete an“introduction to engineering” course. The course introduces the engineering design process,teamwork, and many design/build/test projects. These topics all cater toward problem solvingand creativity. In the junior year, the students are doing plenty of “real-world” engineering anddesign in their coursework which also promotes creativity and teamwork. Unfortunately, there isa gap in learning experiences that promote creativity, teamwork and engineering design duringthe sophomore year when students are busy taking general humanities, mathematics, science,computer applications

In order to reach the substance of thatcontribution, we begin by reviewing how ethical dilemmas can arise within engineering almostby definition. Next, we discuss ethical frameworks for decision-making, the specific use of cost-benefit analyses, and we tie these abstract principles back to the engineering classroom. Withinthis theoretical framework, we discuss the results of an intervention in a global systemsengineering course to think about scenarios that might call for placing a value on human life.Specifically, we analyze responses that students provided for

Recognizing the responsibility of engineers in a wide variety of implications of technology to society. 3. Recognizing the variety of different collaborators and diverse collaboration types in creating engineering solutions.While the sections were introduced one by one, the overall workshops and deliverablesrequired the students to build knowledge towards a final project-proposal that shouldincorporate their learnings and where they should present the aspects of these issues thatshould be taken into account when going about solving their chosen challenge or that
nonetheless critical side of student affairs, however, revolves around supportingstudents in need. Intervention with students in difficult circumstances has long been a part of theuniversity’s mission, dating to the origins of residential colleges in which students and facultylived and learned together in very close proximity. Modern universities provision supportservices to students in medical, personal, financial, and legal contexts, all of which requireexpertise and resources to deliver. These services can be perceived as “extra”, diverting preciousfinancial, space, and other resources to non-academic functions. But in truth, the university inloco parentis must set up a safe and nurturing environment for learning and support students asthey emerge
years have rated ENGR 102 HS as “better than average” or “one of thebest” courses they have taken in high school (Rogers, J., Vezino, B., Baygents, J., & Goldberg, J,2014).Students in ENGR 102 HS are high school juniors and seniors who are at a critical point in theiracademic career. During this period, students turn their attention to college choice and considera subject in which to major. One of the key focuses of the course is to provide these students,who are standing at the edge of the PK-12 pipeline, with a broad view of engineering. A range ofhands-on activities and service learning opportunities are offered that demonstrate the diversetypes of work engineers do. While ENGR 102 HS teachers are offered training andencouragement in

A thorough solution to a capstone level problem oftenincludes an appropriate computational or mathematical analysis. However, faculty are oftendisappointed in engineering students‟ ability to recognize when and how to apply mathematicalanalysis to their particular design solutions. This study assessed the capability of seniorengineering students to apply mathematical modeling to design, and began the process of testingclassroom interventions to rectify certain weaknesses.This research was constructed around a framework that identifies 6 steps in mathematicalmodeling1. Students were given a scenario and asked to assist a hypothetical design
