Experiences in Engineering CourseThe stated goals of the lecture/laboratory course sequence are as follows: Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of Texas at Arlington Copyright 2003, American Society for Engineering Education “Students will gain an understanding of engineering approach (design, ethics, problem solving and creativity) and engineering disciplines, using the textbook, lecture material, and laboratory examples and experimentation. Emphasis is placed on team- building.”The catalog
rationale for a general engineering program at ECU is made by Kauffmann et al.1“Instead of the traditional engineering disciplines, these operations require engineeringgeneralists with a strong theoretical background, broad knowledge in a range of areas, andspecific skills in problem solving to give them a sound but flexible base for managing andimplementing technology change and operations.” In 2004, East Carolina University initiated abachelor’s degree program in general engineering (BSE) to fulfill this requirement. The BSEcurriculum is implemented “through a concept and program identified as the IntegratedCollaborative Engineering Educational Environment (ICEE). The ICEE program… emphasizesa broad but highly integrated foundation of engineering

Due to some significant issues with the 2007 Baja SAE team,West Point did not compete in the 2007 competition. Because Baja SAE is conducted as a seniorcapstone design project, the lack of competitiveness led the senior faculty advisor to examine theprogram and take steps to prevent future failures. A brief history of the West Point Baja SAEprogram, course framework, and steps taken to revitalize the program are discussed in

Thelessons learned illustrate how the CEBOK can be used to shape and polish the civil engineeringcurriculum relative to helping satisfy ABET program accreditation requirements, introducingstudents to topics about which they have limited awareness and yet are essential to professionalsuccess, placing the students’ education and learning within the framework of professionalpractice, and otherwise helping prepare civil engineering students for their professional careers.

Engineering, Gannon University, Erie, PAAbstract - In response to a joint UN/IEEE Humanitarian Technology Challenge SustainableDevelopment Goal to achieve food security, students were tasked to design and build a solar-powered food dehydrator that could be built on-location with minimal resources other than theprimary building materials. Materials and construction techniques not anticipated to be native tothe region were excluded from the design. The project was targeted for implementation inregions of emerging development with unstable food supply and simultaneously lackinginfrastructure, including access to electrical power. In practice, using a food dehydrator makes itpossible to store summer-grown fruits and vegetables for consumption at a later

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Reverse Engineering as a Project-Based Learning ToolAbstractAlthough the concept of reverse software engineering is used in many fields, in the context ofsoftware engineering and security, it has come to include fields such as binary code patching,malware analysis, debugging, legacy compatibility, and network protocols analysis, to name afew.[1] Despite its broad use in software engineering, however, there is little work in computerscience education that considers how reverse engineering can be taught effectively.[2] This maybe a result of the compressed timetable of a four-year college education in computer science,where the need for the courses
example, manyhigher education institutions require communication courses as a general education requirementostensibly for assisting students in handling myriad personal and professional circumstances[48], [49]. Therefore, due to the instruction that engineering students receive from their courses,in this case, both as part of general education and technical curriculum, and the practice that theyengage in using their skills inside and outside their college courses [50], [51], senior engineeringstudents possess sufficient competence for constructively negotiation conflict. Using theseresults as a guide, instructors, trainers, and researchers should consider offering conflictnegotiation training to incoming students who have yet to experience
