An added advantage is the development of closer relations between PRIME academicpartners, area industry, and area K-12 systems.III. PRIME ActivitiesThe creation of the PRIME partnership has involved activities at each institution as well as thosethat have been undertaken as a coalition. Each partner institution has undertaken work in thefollowing common areas:· Developed or modified curricula and facilities to address the competency gaps identified by industry4,5· Transformed industry advisory committees into joint faculty-industry steering committees to guide and continuously improve the curriculum· Developed articulation agreements amongst

Sustainable development of infrastructures using underground spaces: role of academia By: Pooyan Asadollahi and Ahmet Zeytinci Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, the University of the District of ColumbiaAbstractThis paper presents how placing infrastructures under the ground can improve living conditionsand minimize environmental impacts. Status of tunneling education in the USA has beeninvestigated and compared with the industrial needs. Adjustments to the current CivilEngineering programs have been proposed. Furthermore, a curriculum has been suggested for aMS program in Tunnel Engineering. Finally, the paper briefly presents some examples thatacademic research

However, it may bepossible to develop some attributes of global competence without travel through cross-cultural,virtual design experiences which take place via video conferencing and internet-basedcollaboration and engineering software tools. This paper presents some of the issues associatedwith this approach. Preliminary observations are made about the effectiveness of an advancedCAD modeling course which involved virtual teams.IntroductionThe NSF summit on the globalization of engineering education called on educators to “integrateglobal education into the engineering curriculum to impact all students, recognizing globalcompetency as one of the

proposed by Perry [25] that the intellectual models of collegestudents lie on spectrum spanning a dualistic understanding (position 1) of the world to a morenuanced relativistic world view (position 9). In light of what engineers are expected to do, onecould therefore safely predict that the experience of an engineering curriculum should developstudents’ tolerance of an ambiguous problem space, and acceptance of a solution space that admitsmultiple solutions. However, this does not seem to be the case. It has been shown [26], [27] ascited in [28] that undergraduate engineering students did not develop beyond an average of 2.8 onthe Perry’s scale. This is in contrast with the result of Perry’s sample of liberal arts students whowere in position 7

The authors propose two new SEEK curriculum modules inbioengineering. One module was developed to emphasize the skills and methodology thatbioengineers employ, such as computer-aided design, circuitry, and programming, using the freeTinkerCAD website. To reinforce the development of these skills in the context ofbioengineering, students design and build their own thermometer for testing. The second moduleemphasizes the engineering design cycle, focusing on prototyping, testing and iteration bylearning about anatomy and physiology, and iteratively designing a

In summer 2012, we delivered an IPv6 Fundamental course which met with great success.In summer 2013, we will offer both the IPv6 Fundamentals course and the newly developed IPv6Security course. During the 2013 Summer Semester, we will solicit student feedback on theneed for a third course that will cover “advanced” service provider centric IPv6 topics. We willalso continue to work with the Nephos6 academy to develop academic curriculum tocomplement the courses and the lab assignments.Bibliography1.
