The first-year experience programsand initiatives are generally successful with helping students adjust to their new surroundings[8]. With these programs, students are able to matriculate through the rigors of their first-yearcurriculum with success, as they develop a network of peers, faculty, staff and administratorswilling to mentor and support them. Oftentimes, first-year programs are just that and similarprograms are unavailable in years 2 and beyond.Co-curricular spaces and student support programs

, some might arguethat coverage is the enemy of deep conceptual understanding, the desired kind necessary forretention and future application. But undoubtedly, the biggest hurdle to making engineeringclassrooms more interdisciplinary is the paucity of models for doing this effectively and thenumerous questions that need to be addressed in the design of interdisciplinary learningenvironments. When do you start----early or late? What form should the classroom take? Doesinterdisciplinary learning need new pedagogies, new learning spaces that defy the large lecturehall, in short, new class configurations? What kinds of measurement can actually get atinterdisciplinary reasoning and problem solving? How do you help faculty get comfortable withthe idea

The measured distance is used as a feedback signal to control some motors. In thisaspect, the concepts of control for these two cases are similar. However, a drone is more difficultto control because it needs to fly in the three dimensional space while a robot moves around theground.Overall, the integration of research

While many admit thatparents rarely ask about accreditation, engineering accreditation is generally viewed as necessaryat all state institutions, and this regardless of rank. Minimum standards also serve a purpose atlower ranked institutions, since they often need to work to meet ABET’s requirements. In thiscontext, a shortcoming—ideally a concern, or at most an initial report of a weakness that can beaddressed before the final decision—can be instrumental for deans and department heads togarnering resources, such as faculty lines and better laboratory facilities, needed to

hierarchical.Influenced by the Confucian culture, the instructor has more power and thus “dominates” thewhole class. Learning means starting with finding a “good teacher” and then imitating his/herwords and deeds. Engineering education in China today remains more of a “(teaching) art”rather than a kind of “(learning) science” and it is more interested in “how teachers teach” than“how students learn” [13]. Perception of education is not only an epistemological issue but alsoan ethical or political issue. In most Chinese universities, newly hired faculty (many of them areengineering faculty) who are recent PhD graduates need to take educational courses and obtain ateacher certificate [14].

In addition to the design requirement that the new suite possess three faculty offices, gaining faculty or graduate student offices in addition to these is highly desirable. 2. The structural columns must remain part of the space. Integration of the columns into new walls should minimize their intrusion into office spaces. 3.
