“relevant employability skills… before graduation.” In this case, employabilityskills are skills employers look for in potential hires that can serve as a metric for evaluatingperformance [2]. Due to the broadness of the term “employability skills” there is no definitive list ofwhich employability skills students are to gain, or what skills are to be transferred. Thismakes skill development difficult to track. There is, however, an expectation for co-opstudents to perform according to a standard. Competency lists exist for engineering bodiesand curriculums (such as CEAB and ABET) that schools adhere to. This gives programdirectors a focal point to develop curriculums around and a list of skills can then emerge.Even with these lists and the

Becausethis technology-reliant industry changes so quickly, faculty are challenged to source, develop,and implement responsive educational experiences. Through consultation with industry leaders,the Department of Labor (DOL) developed an AM competency model to illustrate and promoteworkers’ necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions. To determine whether the AMcompetency model can function as an exit assessment for AM program graduates, we comparedAM program syllabi from five rural Northwest Florida state colleges to the DOL AMCompetency Model.

Only after all of them are verified and satisfied, should a physical suspensionsystem then be manufactured in a CAM environment.Two avenues exist to bridge design and manufacturing via VP curriculum development. The firstalternative would be an independent course in Computational Multibody Dynamics (CMD) orApplied Multibody Dynamics to fill the gap between design and manufacturing. The otherintegrates VP directly into a CAD/CAM course and treats VP as an independent section afterdiscussion of assembly modeling and before geometric dimension & tolerance (GD&T) andcomputer numerical control (CNC) programming. The first way will provide much deeper andbroader discussion of the principles of CMD and related software applications and also

This is further aided by the availability of modern equipment to accurately measurethem. Despite these advances, design and quality professionals continue to specify surface finishbased solely on the value of Ra. The same outlook trails in graduate and undergraduate educationand their textbooks. This article explores how these multitudes of 2D and 3D surface qualityparameters are to be understood in the design and development of high performance surfaces,and the strong need for them to be incorporated into graduate undergraduate engineeringcurriculum, and be taught as an improved toolkit to the aspiring engineers, process

They were out there as frameworks within which we operated, but we did not haveany means to show that we were actually working towards those goals. In essence, we were alldesigning our own courses and teaching exactly what we wanted to teach without any idea ofhow well we were doing collectively. Of course we did work together to design our curriculumand we frequently updated our curriculum based on the literature in our field, (e.g., ComputingCurriculum for Software Engineering, SWEBOK, etc.). But what we did not do was identify anyobjectives, or goals, for our department, nor any goals or outcomes for individual courses, andconsequently, we were unable to assess whether

simulations as a teaching aid is very useful, perhaps even more so in a distancelearning environment. Southern Polytechnic State University’s (SPSU) Electrical and ComputerEngineering Technology (ECET) program is engaged in converting its curriculum to a distanceor hybrid distance format. Since all but two of the ECET courses have a laboratory component,this creates a significant challenge in providing a similar laboratory experience for the off-campus students. An obvious choice is to require distance students to visit the campusperiodically to perform hands-on lab exercises. This can be difficult for some students to do andwill limit enrollment to students who can.The laboratory for the department’s Telecommunications Engineering Technology (TCET

This project first and foremost captures the student interest,while being flexible enough to present ECE topics at all levels of the undergraduate ECEprogram of study. The robot project spans from Introductory Circuits and Digital Logic Coursesthrough to Capstone Design. In the introductory courses, the student receives a broad overviewof ECE with projects designed to capture the student’s interest while covering the many facets ofthe course. Additionally, students in the first year digital logic course are presented withinnovative projects that

While many universities offer classes in powerelectronics and its role in renewable energy development, the enormous breadth of a modernelectrical curriculum leaves little room to expose students to the issues of grid integration [3]. Atypical first course in power electronics may well focus on the underlying power switchingtechnologies, but the relevance to the associated technologies may be limited [4],[5].Compounding this problem, the enabling technologies for renewable integration, embeddedcomputing, and controls, are seldom taught within a context in which their applicability toenergy production and distribution is

In retrospect, these identified competence gaps illuminated theimportance of the author’s follow-on engineering coursework that would help fill these gaps (Table2). The lack of engineering competence displayed by the author may suggest that the independentstudy began too early. However, finding this gap in competence served only to increase theauthor’s anticipation for the forthcoming formal curriculum. In
