now pervades nearly every part ofeveryone’s lives. To teach computing to just a few would-be “geeks” is no longer sufficient. Noris it sufficient to teach it in isolation [8]. While there remains a need to deeply educate a numberof students in the intricacies of computer programming and usage, there also exists a need toeducate all in the principles of informatics.While Facebook, the iPhone, and the Internet in general are the most obvious examples ofpervasive computing, there is also a nearly ubiquitous use of computing in any data-drivenrealm.

Though the partnership between Trane and the college is still inits initial phase, both parties have already benefited from the projects completed and hope to continue tocollaborate toward improved learning experiences for students in the college. As projects are completed,Trane and the college expect to utilize the various learning tools for educational research by examiningstudent experiences and learning outcomes with respect to ABET criteria.College Industry PartnershipThe partnership with the Raymond B.

-doctoralassociates are also more likely to be designing experiments and be the “first responders” whenincidents occur. Graduate students and post-docs have additional responsibilities such as actingas undergraduate research mentors and teaching assistants, where their understanding of safety isparamount to the safety of others. An expanded in-person training session was provided duringorientation. Even though chemical engineering (CHEG) graduate students and post-doctoralassociates should already have a background in safety, the training session was necessary. As isnoted in Table 3, we have found that over 50% of our graduate students come from backgroundswhere they had no or little previous safety training, including those from non-engineeringbackgrounds
students prioritize design criteria in anauthentic engineering problem-solving scenario. The following research question was addressed: 1) How do students’ perceptions of design criteria (cost, time, safety, sustainability, and fun) change as a result of an augmented reality engineering design experience?Theoretical UnderpinningsThe research herein leveraged the Three Apprenticeships model from The Carnegie Foundationas a theoretical lens [2]. This framework identifies three forms of competency, referred to asapprenticeships of the head, hand, and heart. In this context, apprenticeship of the head considersthe knowledge needed to carry out a particular activity; apprenticeship of the hand focuses on thepractical skills necessary to complete
engineering work, indicating that they had some initial level ofknowledge of the professor’s experience. As the university in question is relatively small, it islikely that they had heard some background on the professor from friends who had previously hadthem.In the category of Questions about professor’s current teaching career, students were mostinterested in the professor’s motivation to teach, favorite courses taught, and why they had chosen Table 2: Example Questions for Each Category Category Example Questions about professor’s I would learn more about what your controls engineering past industry experiences work looked like on a day-to-day or project basis Questions about professor’s

The course instructor,not a teaching assistant, reads and grades each submission within one week after the deadline.Brief comments are included to acknowledge that their journal entries have been read. The toneis positive and encouraging, and when appropriate, includes personal reactions connected to theinstructor’s own experiences and information about departmental or campus resources related totheir goals.

-on project also sparked interest in cutting-edge innovations. Engagingstudents in these activities not only deepened their technical knowledge but also enhanced theircritical thinking and problem-solving skills, better preparing them for future challenges in theengineering field. Pedagogical Framework in MentorshipMentoring initiatives in engineering education can be effectively designed and structured byintegrating mentors’ design work and expertise directly into the curriculum. For example, in an"Introduction to Computer Engineering" course, mentors can contribute by presenting theirdesign projects as case studies, offering students practical insights into real-world applications.Guest speaker sessions and

The pre- and post-survey data also indicate that thestudents do not have enough information to decide their career paths and there is aneed for additional outreach activities on science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education and careers among the students.IntroductionNanotechnology is said to the revolution of this century.

In the process of teaching robotics technology to students at agraduate or undergraduate level, it becomes necessary to synchronize more than one robotic armfor the purpose of demonstrating the interaction between robots commonly found in industrialsettings. There are several approaches to doing this. The simplest approach is to connect the

This being a student-centered project provides the professors withoccasions to be observers and only provide guidance when needed. This example also provesactivities at divisions where funding for research is possible.VI.

– Fort Smith (UAFS) is an open admission institution with strongties to local industry; it supports many technology related programs. UAFS in conjunctionwith the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville (UAF) offers bachelor degrees in Electricaland Mechanical Engineering. The Fort Smith campus is responsible for the first two years ofthe degree and additional interactions with senior design students. In this arrangement,UAFS faculty members predominantly teach freshman and sophomore courses which canbring the trappings of monotony and deterioration of instructor’s cutting edge knowledge. Tohelp combat this issue, a sabbatical leave can be used to keep one’s knowledge up to date andbring new perspective to the classroom for both the instructor and

Fortunately, the tool is not limited for use to only engineering students. It isa Web-based electronic tool with free access. This paper presents information found in a studyregarding post baccalaureate students seeking teacher certification with relation to careerassessment, learning style assessment, and interest assessment. As the data were evaluated,questions arose, which will be discussed in a later section. This paper has four objectives: 1. Report the mean values for the career map coordinate for education majors and options within the

teaching a wide array of toolssuch as data analytics, statistics, operations research, and logistics among others with the main goal ofdevising efficient systems that integrate people, machines, materials, and information to make a product orservice. One of the advantages of these tools is that they can be applied to a wide range of areas andindustries like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. Statistics is an important area in IE since “the need for statistical thinking arises often in the solutionof engineering problems” [2]. Statistics is the science of data, and as engineers we are always needing tomake sense of data by summarizing and analyzing it. The field of statistics encompasses not only theanalysis of data but also the
