Engineering Education, 2017 Online-Only Statics Compared to a Flipped ClassroomAbstractEngineering Statics at NC State University (NCSU) in the Mechanical and AerospaceEngineering Department (MAE) is taught as a flipped class where lecture materials are onlineand class time is spent working problems in groups. The flipped format, though effective formost students, is not ideal for every student: a pathway is needed for students where English is aforeign language, where social interactions are difficult or impossible, or where thrice-weeklyclasses are an obstacle. As an attempt to meet that need, an online-only section was taught(sometimes called distance education) using all the materials from the flipped class to help thepopulation of
o˜ first-year engineering and underrepresented pre-college students. Vargas-Ord´ nez also has engineering experience in fields such as environmental control and operations management. He has published several papers on topics such as academic identity construction and transdisciplinary STEAM education.Prof. Maria Santagata, Campbell UniversityDavid David Yu ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Assessing students' perspectives and attitudes toward social justice and compassion in civil engineering (Work in Progress)AbstractCivil engineering works have the potential to exert long-term effects on society's fabric in waysthat are not fully understood in the early phases of

There are aspects of design education which can be learnedas knowledge; there are other aspects which can only be conveyed asunderstanding; there are yet other aspects which can only evoke, muchas poetry (even when devoid of facts and knowledge) evokes moods with-in us. Numerous articles have been written on design education, essen-tially all suggest that the experience include the following: 1. Definition of design specifications from a consideration of human need, side effects and long range consequences. 2. Development of a time and resources schedule. 3. Review of patent and state

interest in famousengineered structures. Although they may be familiar with these structures in name, they havedifficulty connecting the concepts from their course work with the structural components fromthese fascinating structures. In order to help alleviate this problem, a new assignment based on ascavenger hunt was created for an introductory Structural Analysis course. The assignment wasadministered to encourage students to apply their knowledge to the world around them andobserve the relevance of their education. Once students identify unique structures demonstratingspecific features, they must try to use basic free body diagrams, loading concepts, and staticsprinciples to estimate how a structure carries load and what types of loads may be

Quick response has become a major component of success in business and couldbe achieved by having companies join forces together and work in a virtual organizationenvironment. To translate this to engineering education practice means to emulate the fast-trackproject environment, where group members are expected to operate as a highly effective teamand deliver quality products on time and within a tight budget.Providing such an environment for students to work in has been the driving force behinddesigning the project management course described in this paper.The product-based-learning approach used in the project management course has been praised inmany publications (see

The new analysis of Cauchyand the new definition of functions called for clear descriptions of the domain and range of thefunctions. But for the algebraic functions of calculus the domains are relatively simple,excluding the isolated zeroes that occur in the denominator and the “excluded intervals”, whichoccur when taking an even root of a negative value.Euler, being unencumbered by the “monstrosities” developed during the 19th century, could relyon his intuition to develop into “the master of us
