disciplinarynature of “technological literacy” has prompted a College of Education - Collegeof Engineering collaboration at San José State University.A team of six faculty members from the Colleges of Education and Engineering,including the deans of these colleges, is designing a course in technologicalliteracy for pre-service K-6 teachers. The course, which features hands-onlaboratory experiences, emphasizes how common, technologically-based systems,processes and products work and how they are designed.The major learning goals of this innovative course are for students in the course,who are pre-service teaching majors, to demonstrate: 1. Knowledge of the K-12 standards related to technology 2. Understanding of the processes involved in the
teaching and research interests are in Computerarchitecture, operating systems, networking, parallel computing, object oriented programming and design.DARREN NARAYANDarren Narayan is an Assistant Professor and the Director of Undergraduate Research in Mathematics.

this research is on engineering course material with the ultimate goalbeing to help freshman students adjust to new terminology in their field of study, withoutincreasing the workload of teaching faculty. The goal is to find a computational method that canbe used to create a software tool which automatically compiles a unique list of course-specificvocabulary for the instructor.LiteratureThere are several approaches that can characterize language in document text. The fields ofresearch that contain literature in this area include education, linguistics, computationallinguistics, industrial engineering, as well as several others. Specifically, literature in the field of

for students to obtain that experience.This paper highlights one engineering club at Iowa State University (a Midwestern university in the U.S.),the Cyclone Rocketry club, and focuses specifically on the club’s propulsion team. The paper presents thepropulsion team’s efforts to pioneer new rocket technologies, create several powerful rocket motors, andcollaborate with the university’s aerospace engineering faculty to create supplementary teaching materialsfor a new rocket propulsion course. Furthermore, the paper describes lessons learned and providesrecommendations for starting and running a propulsion team in a university setting. The paper benefitscollege students interested in creating similar student-led rocket clubs in their respective
projects.The work could be used as a reference for the students of the Mini-Baja and Formula-SAEprojects in the Mechanical Engineering Department.This paper delivers a mathematical model with analytical equations that provides a variousoptions for designing acceptable vehicle models. Further research and simulations need to beperformed for a detailed study. This approach will give undergraduate and graduate engineeringstudents better scope on designing concepts and they will have more knowledge on thefundamentals. This approach will also allow students to: i) tolerate ambiguity that shows up inviewing design as inquiry or as an iterative loop of divergent-convergent thinking, ii) maintain Proceedings of the 2010 American Society for
the manipulation and analysis of the data collected.The manufacture of a product will necessitate the use of interdisciplinary teams of ComputerScience, Engineering Technology and other students in their capstone projects classes.The conclusion is that computer integrated manufacturing can be the focal point of study formany disciplines at many different levels.PhilosophyThe traditional way of teaching a technical subject is to strip away all superfluous distractionsand concentrate on a single issue. This is seen in the design of laboratory equipment that canperform one or a small number of very focused exercises. While this is very beneficial inintroducing a concept, it leaves the student with islands of knowledge and limited understandingof

This program is couched as anattachment to AutoCAD and is written in AutoLisp, a command language affiliated withAutoCAD. The program used geometric data from a drawing currently on the AutoCAD screen,and, after the user supplied choices for various tooling and milling options, produced CNC codefor one particular vertical milling machining center, as well as a graphical representation on theAutoCAD screen of the milling process. This process provided an instructional tool for learning Page 8.55.1
