intention of the study is togauge the effectiveness of various motivational strategies and teaching approaches and toidentify specific areas where faculty should focus their classroom efforts. Upon completion of atraditional 3-credit, 15 weeks, face-to-face engineering technology course; students completed a19 question survey where they evaluated the success of various learning opportunities that wereincorporated into that particular course. All survey participants had the same professor whoprovided each of the six courses included in the study with the same types of learningopportunities. The data was compiled to identify if students consistently identify specificmotivational strategies or teaching methods as effective techniques for learning new

PROGRAM DEVELOPME TDuring the Spring of 2010, JSU’s Technology Department was selected to receive a grant fromthe U.S. Department of Homeland Security to establish an Emergency Management Technologyprogram and offer scholarships. In September 2011, Technology Department received anothergrant from DHS, through its Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics CareerDevelopment Grants program. This grant enabled EMT program to award scholarships to moreundergraduate students who demonstrate career interest in Homeland Security. In 2014, JacksonState University received two additional grants, from DHS and Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC), to augment the EMT program with new curriculum and state-of-the-art laboratories.The EMT
undergraduate engineers to design thecomplex circuits that will ultimately be a part of smart communications systems on a single chip.These new technologies are also excellent motivational tools to help students put theoreticalconcepts into a current context. This is especially true in required undergraduate courses likeelectromagnetics (EM) that are heavily mathematics based.The integration of contemporary topics into EM courses is fundamentally different than the useof multimedia assets that help students visualize EM concepts that are quite mathematicallycomplex [1-3]. Contemporary topics that faculty introduce are frequently based on theirresearch or consulting activities. Increasingly, undergraduate students are involved in researchunder the
those opportunities. However, the thesisof this paper is that existing long-term trends are poorly understood and that, like the generalwho prepares to fight future wars based upon the last war, programs and students prepare for thefuture based on an extrapolation of the past. In a somewhat static environment the latter can be asuccessful strategy, but in the current much more dynamic environment being proactive is arequirement. Things have changed and they have changed in fundamental, often unexpected,ways. Exhortations to “do things better” and simplistic improvements of past approaches will beinadequate in the future.

importance of entrepreneurship toengineers, which is why entrepreneurship is increasingly being taught as a part ofengineering programs. However, the method of conveying the entrepreneurshipeducation has been writing a traditional business plan. In this paper, the coauthors willdiscuss an innovative approach to educating engineers in entrepreneurship. This wouldinclude implementing in the curriculum new online tools for creating a business planwhich have the mobility and convenience that today’s generation of engineers havegrown to know and expect. This revision of the entrepreneurship curriculum would beparticularly important for engineering managers to understand and would thus be avalued contribution for engineering management programs across the
classroom and secure answers tobasic questions of curriculum design and improvement.6 Future Work This research paper presents only a snapshot of new Missouri S&T faculty’s opinion ofcritical areas in their career development. Future work will be performed by surveying tenuredfaculty at the University to determine missing links in the new faculty’s perceptions. Further, thiswork will be expanded to faculty beyond this university to gage parameters for success at otherinstitutions to provide a more comprehensive guideline for new faculty success.References 1.

Page 26.789.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Formative Classroom Observations for New FacultyAbstractThis paper reports on a classroom observation program for first-year engineering facultymembers in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Webegin by describing the program’s philosophical approach, which is based on
new materials such as hands-on activities, interactive multimedia, andgroup learning. This balance with concrete experience is especially needed in “building-block”courses that create the foundation for advanced design courses. If we expect students to performwell with open-ended, project-centered problems, we need to provide a pedagogical basis acrossthe entire undergraduate curriculum. This paper presents such a basis for one importantengineering core topic: mechanics of materials. Active learning concepts applied in mechanicsof materials courses are discussed, including specific examples of hands-on, multimedia, andgroup design exercises.1. IntroductionOne of the needed reformations in engineering education involves a change in
new curriculum [5]. This paper will look at howstudents experienced the attainment of their first co-op placement. The research question for thisphase of the program development is: “How do BELL program student engineers experience theattainment of their first co-op placement?” In the data collection section below, the studentexperiences and inputs have been collected and analyzed. Improvements have been put in placeand ideas are available to draw on for future iterations.II. Model DescriptionThis new co-op centric educational model is an adaptation of two emerging world-leadingengineering educational models, as recognized by a 2018 MIT report [6], Charles SturtUniversity (Australia) and Iron Range Engineering (Minnesota). Adapted from
a shortage of both newand experienced engineers in RF engineering. The complete RF engineering curriculums are notgenerally offered at the undergraduate level. As providers of engineering technology education,when designing a new course or a program, we must consider the applicability and practicality ofthe course contents and the program. A micro-credential is a certificate program that helps studentsacquire knowledge, skills, and experience in a highly focused area by completing three or fourrelevant courses. The micro-credential in RF engineering for students in engineering technologyprograms must also be designed and implemented in such ways that the courses in the micro-credential are as self-contained as possible so that it does not

In 2008, France implemented new science education standard“the new curriculum for primary school”[10], including discovery-oriented curriculum forprimary students, experiment-oriented for junior high students, and integration-orientedcurriculum for senior-high students. Japan's recent education reform was in 2008, with afocus on emphasizing scientific inquiry methods and life-related problem solving activities.At the 2013 Global STEMx Education Conference, Finland, Australia, New Zealand andother countries have participated to discuss science education for new era.
