Also, students involved in such projects, while taking courses in their colleges,will work in teams across domains, thus gaining important real-world experience. These collaborationsmay also lead to small business formations and a cottage industry that could impact the local economypositively.Methods 590Over the past two years, we have taught Android related courses to graduate and undergraduateengineering students, and high school students, in a synergistic manner.

The ongoing collaborative project described in this paper attempts todevelop the cross-cultural sensitivity of Indian and USA students through their reflections oncase studies that present ethical dilemmas in real-world situations. Central questions addressed inthis paper include: 1) How does a pedagogical model based on socio-cultural theory andincorporating cross-cultural activities support undergraduate engineering students in socio-cultural and ethical thinking? and 2) How do engineering students develop their professionalidentities through socio-cultural and ethical discourse? Based on socio-cultural learning theory,the present collaborative effort engages hundreds of students in professional

The dichotomy between low enrollment in credit electronicsprograms and the high demand from employers for highly skilled engineering technicians that allcolleges experienced in 1997 has changed as a result of the participants’ collaborative effortsacross institutions and with industry. The change has resulted in an unprecedented level ofsuccess for the colleges, their students, and their industry partners because of the effort to alignprograms with industry standards.CREATE Center Objectives and AccomplishmentsThe CREATE Center, which evolved out of Project

The challenges that need to bemet to enable tomorrow’s engineers to meet society’s needs are many, but the threechallenges mentioned above have been chosen to frame this study on the future developmentof engineering education.BackgroundTo achieve the needs of future engineering education, both content and pedagogical methodsmust be reviewed.

INTRODUCTION To educate a new generation of engineers for the twenty-first century, engineering educatorsface many challenges such as the development of students’ ability in critical thinking, creativity,collaborative work, and communication. Laboratory education can play a pivotal role in attainingthese goals. However, due to the limitation of traditional laboratory teaching, its potential benefitshave never been fully realized. The problem becomes more acute if the laboratory course isequipment-intensive. Since students are usually not familiar

Whileengineering education may be interdisciplinary in name, I argue it that it remains a multidisciplinary field withtransdisciplinary ambitions. I punctuate this analysis with implications for engineering education researchersinterested in using disciplinary fissures as a catalyst for meaningful, interdisciplinary collaboration andunderstanding.BackgroundIn October 2012, I was interviewed for a job as a staff researcher at a Canadian engineeringschool. The interview was both playful and disorienting. After more than a decade of training ineducational leadership, culminating in a tenure track position at a Canadian faculty of education,I had become deeply, and
program is actively involving business andindustry experts in the development of their curricular activities. Yet, while faculty andadministrators argue that the new curriculum has immense value for advancing undergraduateeducation, they simultaneously worry that such collaborations will circumspect thetransdisciplinary goals of their curriculum. As one academic stakeholder reflected, the degreeprogram has the potential to transform how the university thinks about individual learning plansfor undergraduates that exist outside of traditional disciplinary frameworks, but it also “shouldn’tbecome a pipeline for business and industry.”Alongside this tension—and partly in response to it—the authors of this paper were hired toconduct an external

In the twenty-first century the public debate about innovation has focused increasinglyon the role of art and design disciplines as important sources of creativity and this term has beenforged to designate a broadened definition of the foundational fields (Cantrell, 2015). Our paperdescribes an effort to transition from STEM education to STEAM education through aninterdisciplinary collaboration between the College of Engineering and Applied Science(CEAS) and the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) at the University ofCincinnati. While creativity is most often associated with the arts, it is essential for innovativediscoveries and applications in science and engineering (Costantino, Kellam, Cramond

This unified approach will allow students to collaborate with recurringpartners on projects of increasing complexity, work on the same large project in different capacitiesas their experience and skills grow, and explore different areas of the engineering
Implications of COBOT Implementation CJ Witherell Grand Valley State UniversityAbstract The following paper explores new ethical considerations in the manufacturing industry thathave arisen due to the advent of the fourth industrial revolution known as Industry 4.0. The conceptof Industry 4.0 was researched to identify its impact on the manufacturing industry. One significantchange of the era, namely the increased implementation of collaborative robots (COBOTs), wasexplored to determine the associated risks and their ethical ramifications. The risks of physicalharm, cyber-attack, and electromagnetic interference-related malfunctions were identified anddiscussed, as well

to prepare students for the global sourcing environmentis based on the adoption and implementation of the following four strategies: 1. University-industry partnership 2. Problem-based learning 3. Course portfolio 4. Study abroad 1- University-Industry PartnershipIn order to prepare students for the global sourcing environment, it is important to build auniversity-industry partnership. In this partnership, engineering colleges will need tocreate collaboration plans to better prepare their students for the 21st century economy,and the engineering community will want these partnerships to be anchored in theengineering colleges so that the technical solution will remain central to competitivesuccess in the marketplace. 2
a million workers in the U.S. face exposure to fumes from asphalt, a petroleumproduct used extensively in road paving, roofing, siding, and concrete work. Health effects fromexposure to asphalt fumes include headache, skin rash, sensitization, fatigue, reduced appetite,throat and eye irritation, cough, and skin cancer. In the mid-1990s, The National AsphaltPavement Association (NAPA) collaborated with industry partners to address concerns about thehazards of asphalt fumes for paving-site workers. This partnership resulted in U.S. industry-wide effort to design, lab-test, field-test, and validate engineering control modifications tohighway-class paving machines to remove fumes from the vicinity of workers.
