In design-oriented projectwork the students deal with some degree of know-how problems which involve a great part oftheories and knowledge acquired from lectures.There were special conditions for establishing Aalborg University. It was situated in a region ofdevelopment with few traditions of higher education. A new thing was also that more localinstitutions of education should be closed down and the programmes integrated on a new foundation Page 10.850.3in

If the U.S. is to improve on its current competitive position in science and engineering,close the near-crisis workforce “skills gap” in steelmaking and other advanced manufacturing [1-3], and continue economic well-being, STEM education at the high school and postsecondarylevels needs support—for its teachers as well as its students.Despite its fundamental importance to the nation’s economy, infrastructure, and national security[8], the steel industry, like many U.S. industries, is experiencing a large skills gap [1-3,9,10]. Thegrowing shortage of skilled workers is fueled not only by loss through retirement, but by outdatedperceptions of manufacturing jobs (e.g., “low-tech,” “no

Paper ID #25117Communicating the Value of a Transdisciplinary Degree: Comparing andContrasting Perceptions Across Student GroupsDr. Lisa Bosman, Purdue University, West Lafayette Dr. Bosman is an Assistant Professor in Technology Leadership and Innovation and the Program Co- ordinator for Transdisciplinary Studies in Technology. Her STEM education research interests include entrepreneurial mindset, renewable energy, competency-based learning, self-regulated learning, transdis- ciplinary education, civic engagement, and faculty professional development. She spent the first part of her career working as a manufacturing
education facility, using existing equipment andfacilities as a basis upon which to build. This facility will be used in courses that emphasizecomputer-aided manufacturing, computer-controlled systems, robotics, and real-time physicalsystems with the goal of incorporating the concepts of teamwork, communication, concurrentengineering, and continuous improvement as a major part of the curriculum as well as developinga steady supply of students interested in science, engineering, and technology.As part of our effort, we are incorporating an outreach component to encourage local students tostudy science and technology and to learn about the career potentials in these fields. We believethat modern computer integrated technology needs to be incorporated

In the last decade, several factors have beenidentified for this trend, such as the “unfriendly” nature of delivery of engineering curricula,which does not tolerate a broader

In terms of curriculum, ABET-accredited programs mustinclude at least 30 credit hours of college-level mathematics and basic sciences, at least 45 credithours of engineering topics appropriate to the particular program, a component of broadereducation that complements the technical content and is consistent with the program’seducational objectives, and a culminating major engineering design experience that

However, the EME andEPE academic concentrations signify a specific accomplishment and appear on the transcript anddiploma.Interdisciplinary degree programs with a variety of models of execution have been studied inresearch in engineering education [9], [10], [11]. The perceptions of students in aninterdisciplinary engineering curriculum are significant to the overall success of the degreeprogram [10]. These students may initially perceive that they are not quite equal to their EE andME discipline colleagues.However, these perceptions were allayed when the BSE EME and EPE students compared thebreath of their training to those in the EE and ME disciplines with a limited minor in these areas.The results of surveys and interviews have

Although the assessment of thisfirst year program showed positive impact on student performance, the fragmented structure ofthe first –year curriculum still created problems in terms of student learning.

I’m more curious on WHY the teacher is teaching the content, rather than just attempting to absorb the information without thinking about its purpose. I find myself watching the way professors engage with the classroom and teach their course, both the good and the bad. I take mental notes of what good professors do to keep students engaged and entertained while still being educated. Because of my teaching experience, I have a greater understanding of why some courses are engaging or interesting, and how that makes the class feel easier. Similarly, I pay attention to why the class is not as engaging, and the “death-by-slideshow” classes are often more difficult. I have seen good professors

-Based Learning (PBL) approach has been widely embraced as a teaching method,fostering collaboration among students to achieve a shared goal, and gaining knowledge and skillsthrough the exploration of engaging and complex problems for a specific period. While extensivelystudied in various educational contexts, from elementary to higher education, there has beenlimited exploration of the use of a design-project approach within PBL to enhance students'learning experiences. This paper illustrates examples of incorporating a design-project approach into the kinematicscourse, a pivotal component of the mechanical engineering curriculum. The design-project methodintegrates PBL principles, requiring students to apply theoretical knowledge to create
