Research interests include: low power energy harvesting systems, renewable energy technologies and education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Certification and Training for Automation and MechatronicsIntroduction:This article is a Work In Progress (WIP) paper that presents the faculty professional developmentwhich is an integral part of any academic institution. The curriculum and courses offered shouldbe revised based on industry needs. The technology is advancing rapidly, and there is crying needfor skilled workers in coming years. The Engineering Technology (ETEC) department at SamHouston State University (SHSU) has just
projects. These projects include roadways, utilities, bridges and buildings; including two LEED building projects, a library and fire station. Dr. Mosier’s areas of academic interests include heavy highway estimating and structural design. Her research interest has been the cost of sustainable construction to owners, specifically Oklahoma City. Additional work is on-going in area of sustainability in construction. Other research interests include technology in the classroom. Dr. Mosier is an active member of the American Public Works Associations, National Council of Struc- tural Engineers Associations, and is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Chi Epil- son. c

In addition to service learning, Lauren is inspired by creativity, design and the maker culture.Prof. Marjan Eggermont, University of Calgary Marjan Eggermont is the current Associate Dean (Student Affairs) and a Senior Instructor and a faculty member at the University of Calgary in the Mechanical and Manufacturing department of the Schulich
,Engineering and Math (STEM) Program, sponsored by Vaughn College of Aeronautics andTechnology, for the Girl Scouts of Greater New York Nassau and Suffolk Counties. More than145 middle or high school girls were planned to attend the event. Since the girls would beseparated into multiple groups, with one group having less than 50 minutes in the workshop, theproject should be able to be finished within the time period. After a student had built the electricpiano, the product would be a gift for her and she would take her electric piano home. Therefore,the product should be relatively inexpensive.In terms of developing an interesting project for engineering education, a number of researchworks have reported the approaches and some of the survey results

through the journey of learningand for this purpose they need to have proper training, continuing education and research. Butthe main quality requirements for a good teacher are motivation and responsibility. We can onlycome up with some guidelines, but it is the teacher who will develop his/her own style ofteaching. Teaching is a creative work, no matter what you teach whether art or technology. So ahighly knowledgeable person is not necessarily a good teacher. It is also the responsibility of theadministration to ensure the quality of teaching and to provide all kinds of support to motivatethe teachers towards developing an excellent academic environment.The objective of this research is to analyze the reasons for the students not being
conducted in a computer laboratory – a setting that has more distractions than thetraditional lecture room and therefore not the optimal venue for student note taking. Note taking,per Piolat, increases both students’ attention in class and their performance on tests, but it canalso interfere with students’ efforts to comprehend lecture content.1 In a separate study Kiewrareported that students typically record only about one -third of the important points in a lecture.2The goal of this paper is to show that guided note taking – faculty generated partial notes thatstudents actively complete during a lecture – improve students’ comprehension in a lecturelaboratory setting. In addition, this study furthers the author’s research in innovative
course exposes students to critical thinking about the fundamental assumptions,discussing calculated results, analyzing plots of data, posing questions about the meaning ofdefinitions, increasing interest in and connection with course material, and becoming familiarwith engineering writing conventions.I. BackgroundThe College of Science and Engineering is a four-year ABET accredited engineering schooloffering engineering degrees in mechanical & industrial, chemical, computer science, andelectrical & computer engineering. The curriculum emphasizes design, manufacture, andautomation, while preparing students for careers in industry and continued education. A four-credit manufacturing process course is designed for junior and senior
students from thesecounties.To state that work is needed in the area of recruitment is an understatement. Strides arebeing made, but much more is needed. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee andother institutions expend a significant amount of time examining factors that attribute tothe success of students that includes recruitment, retention, and survival skills and/or 3techniques. Research has shown that recruitment is a key component of attractingstudents, but recruitment alone is not enough. Studies have shown that recruitingStudents of Color into engineering is multifaceted. The community and or families mustbe educated as to what a career in
