Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island serving institutionAbstractThere is a need for public policy to be integrated in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education as it brings policy and social relevance into STEM classes withthe potential to increase engagement and success of students with STEM content. From theperspective of developing future engineers and scientists, an early emphasis on linkages to publicpolicy and societal issues can promote student buy-in, and prepare for future policy andadvocacy work that are, increasingly, a component of scientific and engineering careers. Fromthe perspective of the science and engineering community, early exposure to the responsivenessand integration of policy into STEM will increase
long been an interesting research topic for engineeringand technology educators. During a discussion on curriculum development at Essex CountyCollege, some faculty members, believing that basic mathematical skills were fundamental forgraphics apprehension, advocated the adoption of a mathematics course as a prerequisite to thegraphics course. At the same time, others did not believe mathematical proficiency to be necessaryfor mastering graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) skills. The ability to visualize spatially isgenerally considered fundamental for graphics applications, especially for three-dimensional (3D)solid modeling using CAD software packages. Is there a relationship between basic mathematicalskills and spatial visualization

Prior to the emphasis on engineering science in the early Page 13.380.2 seventies most engineering instruction took place in the laboratory. ‚ While engineering programs became more theoretical in the seventies, industry continued to require individuals who possessed more practical skills.

Student reaction to this new equipment has been very positive.Laboratory experiments are more efficient--requiring considerably less setup time than thatexperienced in previous rotating machines laboratories. Students are able to leave with a bettervision of a "power system" rather than a sampling of pieces or components. The simulator can be operated manually

’ fast adoption of innovative and available new technologies. Agrowing concern for engineering instructors and among college writing instructors is that ofArtificial Intelligence (AI) being widely available to students. Although these technologies arenot a main topic of the work presented here, they can potentially impact the teaching of technicalwriting and the assessment of student outcomes, as well as engineering teaching in general. AI asa tool for text development and even to produce numerical solutions to textbook-type problems isknown and is getting more powerful. But it is not clear how capable AI is of correctly handlinggraphical information and integrating it with text. Therefore, its use by students to generatetechnical reports could

Page 24.663.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Helicopters as a Theme in a Machine Design CourseAbstract The idea proposed here is to study helicopters and their components throughout a machinedesign course as a theme to teach students about different mechanical elements. A helicopter isan ideal system to exemplify the concepts taught in the course since all aspects of machinedesign are encapsulated in its design. Furthermore, a helicopter deeply pushes the limits ofsafety; the price of failure of one or more components or of the overall system is high (humanfatality). This suggests large factors of safety in the design, but there is an inherent tradeoff. Iffactors of safety are
