for Engineering Education, 2020 A Healthcare Case-Study to Teach Simulation TechniquesAbstractComputer simulation is a proven technique in most engineering workplaces. Engineering studentsoften are required to learn and practice modeling and simulation as part of their program studies.Teaching simulation techniques may need examples from the real world to challenge learners andteach the basics of modeling, scenario development, as well as verification, and validation. Real-world examples help students better understand and analyze the simulation results, as well as maketheir learning process a joyful experience.This paper describes a simulation case-study for a drop-in healthcare center similar to anemergency room and/or urgent
related to their ability to access or engage withthe course.Discussion & Continued WorkBased on our analysis so far, students do not seem to be having trouble accessing the tools typicalof Oregon State’s Ecampus programs or engaging with the course material. For example,respondents appear to have good internet connections and computer access, despite ouruniversity’s high cross-section of students from rural communities. Survey results indicate thatstudents are having success interacting with course material, but also that very little or nointeraction with their peers or instructor are happening in their Ecampus work. This idea returnsas the main disadvantage that participants noted for Ecampus courses; almost all respondentsexperienced lower
IntroductionStudying engineering has never been more popular and the societal need for engineering skillsis immense. As a consequence, we are accepting more students into many of our programs andour classes have become larger and larger over the years. Large classes are defined in this studyas classes of more than 70 students and up to a 1000 students. Teaching large classes poses aseries of challenges that may hamper learning in general, especially that of high-skilledstudents, and hence these are important to address. These challenges include decreasingteacher-to-student dialogue, promoting student disengagement and erosion of sense ofresponsibility for learning [1], [2].As noted by Ramsden in 2003 [3], “many lecturers in the 1980s which handled classes of

class.They were given a 5-minute introduction to the calculator and then were allowed to use theprogram in a semi-guided laboratory session. The students were attentive and asked goodquestions. A number of problems were found. One problem related to how a calculation wasfaulty for numbers of one bit. Another problem occurred for certain values of overflow in thesubtraction operation. However, the responses were favorable. Some of the students wanted totake the software home. One student commented that it would be valuable as a review aid forfuture courses. On a test, the users of the program appeared to do well on test questions relatedto the calculator-type of problems.ConclusionThis work is encouraging. The package is not finished nor are all the

weconceived of the studio courses, the intended aims were: • For faculty to help students connect the dots between the various content courses that students take during the semester and help them see how their learning fits into a broader perspective. The hope was that these connections between courses and their relation to the students’ career fields would result in a transformative learning experience [9]. • For computer students to form a cohort of peer learners early in their academic career. Many studies have shown that students who belong to a community of learners tend to be more engaged and are more likely to be successful in the program [10], [11]. Because military veteran students
ActiveX controls as part of the evolutionary change of OLEtechnology. ActiveX controls are OLE custom controls which have been extended to embracethe Internet.Application development in the Visual Basic programming environment has become a standardfor what is called “component-based development.” The term component is used to describe anActiveX control which can be placed in any compatible ActiveX container such as MicrosoftVisual Basic, Access, or Internet Explorer. The goal is that different software companies willwrite manufacturing related component products and manufacturing engineers and systemsintegrators will then be able to select the best components from multiple vendors.C.

The Engineering Faculty, as a whole, is currently investigating the legal issues ofintellectual rights and student/faculty responsibility.With 19 – 24 projects to be handled, the project course effectively involves many more peoplethan just the course instructor and project co-ordinator. This leads to misunderstandings andcontradictions. Assigning a single project to all students under one faculty advisor would avoidthis. However, this is an approach the department does not want to take even if it were to becomepossible to find a faculty member willing to give up an already developed course to concentrateon the project course.
