-paced learning is the key element of blended format and is most advantageous to thestudents. Self-paced learning allows students to control the learning schedule that suit their needsand learning goals.[7,8] This control also allows students to revisit the material as many times asthey need aiding learning for those students who might be averse to asking questions of theirinstructors about the same topic again and again. The feedback collected in the study presentedshows that students really liked the ability of choosing their own pace and being prepared for theclass ahead of time. Due to multiple advantages of using blended and flipped-classroomstructures, multiple studies have been conducted in wide variety of engineering courses likeentry
our Computer Science Engineering sequence (CSES) is to ensure thatstudents majoring in disciplines other than computer science develop a foundation for effectivelyemploying computer science fundamentals and Information Technology to solve real world problems.One of the desired outcomes for the CSES is for students to learn to effectively function as part of adiverse team to accomplish a common goal. CS300, Introduction to the Fundamentals of Programming, is the first course in the sequence. It isstrictly an individual effort with traditional homework assignments and exams. As the second course inthe sequence, CS350, Database Design & Implementation, employs an evaluation strategy that combinesgroup and individual effort. There are
The Science and Engineering of Materials by D. Askeland and W. Wright.When I first began teaching MSE 281, I quickly learned that writing these lab reports representsan enormous challenge for the students. Many have no experience with lab reports beyond theminimal, highly scripted reports required for freshman chemistry. Although all students in thisclass have taken two freshman composition courses, most do not see the connection between thecontent learned there and writing in a technical context, and many have difficulties with basicgrammar and punctuation. Moreover, only students in our university’s Science and TechnologyHonors Program are currently allowed to meet one of the freshman comp requirements with atechnical writing course, so

Moreover, withthe rapid disappearance of serial and
experiential learning, allowing them to betterapply entrepreneurship concepts and abilities to their future careers.To develop entrepreneurship skills within most engineering curriculums, there are twooptions. One is for each discipline to create a new course designed for teachingentrepreneurship and the above mentioned knowledge. However, this option is not easilyfeasible due to the fact that most of the engineering curriculum are heavily loaded in orderto meet the criteria from a national accreditation agency such as ABET. The only plausibleoption is to renovate one of the existing teaching assignments into a course that not onlymeets the curriculum requirements of the degree program, but also allows students to gainknowledge of creativity

Regarding the simulationportion of the course, some important topics for the student to take away include understandingthe need for specifying boundary conditions and loads, the kinds of results one can expect toachieve from analysis, and in the case of FEA simulations, the tradeoff between mesh densityand computation time.Two types of simulations were introduced in this course: finite element analysis and kinematicanalysis. One assignment was designed to cover each simulation type. Implementation ofsimulations in NX requires navigating through many dense menus, which
, but not to technical deficiencies inthese teams.2,3 Therefore, educating our graduates as effective team members is as important asproviding them with advance technical knowledge and skills.In the last two decades, academic institutions have put significant efforts toward enhancing theircurricula for providing their students with teamwork skills along with technical ones. As aresult, teamwork has become very common in engineering and technology programs. Theaccreditation boards, such as the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET),also require evidences that students are actually acquiring teamwork skills. However, theassessment of teamwork skills like all professional skills is challenging. Unlike technical skills,which can

Using these formulas will give under prepared incoming engineering studentsthe hands on feel of working with familiar functions such as y = f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 4.They are familiar with the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.This paper is intended to help under prepared students understand thetrigonometric functions and the notation used to represent them. Most studentsdon’t realize that the f in f(x) is being replaced by sin, cos, and tan. It will then beexplained that these formulas are programmed into their calculators and areaccessible by the sin, cos, and tan buttons on a calculator. 𝑦 𝑥3 𝑥5 ⁄𝐴

To this extent it is also the purpose of this study toeventually establish a method of designing high-quality online engineering labs that support thenewly established online engineering programs. Thereby, the goal is to achieve a quality ofeducation comparable to what is found in many traditional brick-and-mortar engineering degreeprograms in the form of physical labs, which is also a common requirement for outsideaccreditation. For example, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)requires as one quality criterion that engineering programs link “engineering concepts toengineering application” [45].Traditionally, this condition for quality is achieved by theapplication of principles in the lab.
