With release of Next GenerationScience Standards in 2013, there will likely be increased demand from the K-12 educationcommunity for innovative and practical methodologies for effectively incorporating engineeringconcepts and practices into traditional science, mathematics, and technology education programs.Having a better understanding of the nature of integrated STEM education and what the researchsays about its impacts can help inform and prepare the engineering education community tocontribute constructively to this emerging STEM education movement.IntroductionThe now ubiquitous acronym used to collectively refer to the

The basis for posing this question emerges from discussions about the needfor social, political and economic cooperation to occur beyond a national level in order to trulymake some of the Grand Challenges a priority.

In this regard, the college formed aconsortium of regional industry leaders, two- and four-year faculty and administrators, and highschool teachers and superintendents. The purpose of the consortium is to advance the college’sprogram offerings in information technology (IT) by identifying emerging technologies andcritical areas of industry need. The consortium identified the rapidly increasing regional demandfor technicians skilled in wireless communications and strongly recommended that the collegeact immediately to address this need. Based on these recommendations, Brookdale’sDepartment Chair of Engineering and Technology reviewed relevant literature on the wirelesscommunications industry, and analyzed

With the industrialization of nationaleconomies all over the world, it is increasingly important to generate future technical personneladaptable to the requirements of industry.According to authors Engineering Education cannot serve its purpose, if it merely limits itself totransfer of information from the notebook of the teacher to the notebooks of students. It helps toapply the knowledge learnt. The student should know the industrial atmosphere and industrialproblems. The aim should be to produce engineers who are equipped to enter the industry andwho are aware of the priorities and needs of the industry.With the rapid rate at

network thatcontinuously extracts patient critical information from sensor nodes worn by the patients. In thiscase the sensor nodes not only gather data but also the nodes should be able to process data inorder to make smart decisions. Besides the intelligence required the nodes should posses lessweight and have to be easy to carry by the patients. The challenge requires a careful redesign ofthe existing sensor nodes. The integration of the emergent technology based on PSoC to theexisting biomedical sensors hence is one step forward in solving the issue of weight and size.The authors in11 present the concept of wearable sensors that can be used to closely monitorParkinson’s disease motor fluctuations and predict clinical scores.Best Practices in

In general, results revealed the need for developing information literacyskills, technological infrastructure and physical facilities for collaboration. More specifically,assessment findings showed that researchers: (1) identified a need for assistance with technicalwriting, communication skills, search strategies, and ethical use of information; (2) expected newservices encompassing data management, authorship, copyright, and organizing, sharing, andpreserving information in the digital environment; and (3) needed a collaborative space whereteaching and research services coincided.

In Phase I,for example, opportunity identification takes two forms: 1. Finding an optimal marketopportunity for a given technology and 2. Identifying an emerging market opportunity anddetermining what technology may be necessary to exploit it. Two new courses have been createdand taught to focus on each of these issues: Driving the Innovation Process, and EntrepreneurialBusiness Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers.

A substantial portion of this funding is allocated to Research, Development,Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E) to maintain the U.S. technological advantage. For FY2025,shown in Figure 1 (left), the DoD requested $849.8 billion8, an 18% increase compared toFY2020.

Particularly in the modern context, where technological advancement hassignificantly altered the world of work and will continue to do so [1], all students, includingengineering students, need to be equipped to define their careers in this rapidly changingenvironment. Engineering, which is perceived as an established profession and defined field,does not seem to instinctively warrant career development support since students may appearcareer-decided. However, although engineering students have selected a profession, and themajority of engineering graduates work in a related sector upon

The preservice STEM teachers, enrolled in the course, engaged in hands-on activities, engineering project-based training, inquiry-based learning techniques through research training, makerspace training, field experience, and mentorship. The course comprised two parts. In part I, the students received research training. In part II, the students engaged in engineering design and makerspace professional development. In this paper, we report on the course design elements and the impact of the course activities on students’ self-efficacy in teaching STEM subjects using emerging technology, as well as their teaching approaches
