collections and access decisions, as wellas instruction and outreach planning.IntroductionEngineering faculty and graduate students use scholarly literature to inform their researchchoices and to share their own contributions to the scholarly conversation. Because of theincreased availability of instant and seemingly free access to information in both personal andprofessional spheres, expectations for immediate, online access to the scholarly literature arehigh. Engineering faculty and graduate students are accustomed to accessing the online full-textof sources through search tools that rely on a range of delivery mechanisms includingsubscription-based access through their university libraries as well as free platforms like GoogleScholar or arXiv
Organic semiconductors are categorized as adisordered system distinct from conventional semiconductors and offer great potential andimportance as a new learning material, yet surprisingly there are only a few schools that coverthem in undergraduate engineering classes.14 Furthermore, the rapidly evolving field of organicsolar technology offers great opportunities for students to experience multidisciplinary topicsinvolving elements of advanced materials science, optics, solid-state electronics, and physics.This is critical in that researchers and engineers increasingly face complex problems having noclear boundaries between discrete disciplines. Hence, educational environments should cultivatestudents that are equipped with a set of tools to
other engineering schools across thecountry. Similar benefits can be realized.AcknowledgementsThis research is being supported through the University of Pittsburgh Innovation in EducationGrants Program.

Teamwork Interest Differences Between Face-to-Face and Online Students Abdullah Konak and Sadan Kulturel-Konak Penn State Berks AbstractIn the current decade, there are two prevailing trends in STEM education, the rise of onlineeducation and the integration of the 21st century skills into technical curricula. Online educationis the fastest growing segment of the US education sector. Particularly in STEM programs, thereis a need for preparing students for increasingly complex work environments in the 21st century.Teamwork has been a norm in many programs to improve students’ professional skills.Although online education has

For future studies, the current researchcould be elevated by improving the student perception survey to expand the analysis ofcontents of mind maps, as well as by taking into consideration quantitative data that wouldallow us to deepen into the impact of mind mapping in students’ grades. On the other hand,the research could also be improved if its repeated with construction students to furtheranalyze the impact of mind maps as a part of the education of the building industry. Similarly,the use in art classes could provide more insight on the tool for

Although knowledgebuilding is being used increasingly around the world to support deep learning and preparegraduates to compete in the knowledge economy, its potential for reforming engineeringeducation in the United States remains largely unexplored.A distinctive feature of knowledge building is that it is idea-centered, a characteristic essential ina knowledge age pedagogy.

The challenge expressed in engagement education literature is not merely to increasetechnical competence in the disciplines; it is to make citizens. Although the challenge of our Collegemission statement is similar, making citizens is more difficult than making graduates. It requires thatactive and multidirectional connections be made for the learner between knowledge, human passion andwill, and the

In 1994, thepercentage of engineering degrees awarded to women was 16.6?403. Whh women being under-represented inengineering fields, the recruitment of young women into engineering is looked upon as necessary to meetprojected needs. This economic argument is gaining increasing attention. The simple argument of equitabletreatment and equal opportunities for all citizens has in the past decades opened many

An elective course in Mechatronics Engineering atQueen’s University is put forward as an example of an elective course with the “wow factor”.The course is laboratory-based and technology-oriented course in Mechatronics Engineering,where mechatronics is the subject that combines elements of computer, electrical and mechanicalengineering. The course presentation covers all the keywords that one hears in discussions onwhat is needed for the next generation of engineering students. The list of keywords include:active learning, integrated learning, just in time instruction

Overall, our results suggest that the first semester is a crucial time tocultivate not only skills students will need to succeed as they progress through the chemicalengineering curriculum, but also their locus of control around their own studying and success.Background and MotivationIn 2005, representatives from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicinegathered at a symposium to discuss the economic, political, social and societal impact of growingglobal competition for producing the best skilled workforce in the science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields [2]. The goal was to identify and makerecommendations for how the US could maintain its perceived lead in technological innovations.Despite the importance
