them.The program must have a practical element to it. Partially this is a result of the nature of thestudents involved, and partially this is a result of the nature of the business. Much of what isdone in the industry is quite “hands-on.” An emphasis on design is critical to instill a practicalelement into the program. Although some graduates of the program are anticipated to be inoperations-type positions they will still be expected to perform design functions on the job fromtime-to-time.

While the course does provide quite detailed theoretical information, whatwe felt it lacked was numerous practical examples geared towards the FE exam. We also believethat understanding, say Wheatstone bridges, is indeed valuable, actual hands on usage of sensorsthat employ a bridge circuit would be even more beneficial. Finally, graduating engineers thathave actual experience hooking up; calibrating, conducting and reducing data might appeal topotential employers. That is to say, by introducing the students to basic circuit analysis,including operational amplifiers, strain gages, pressure transducers, load

In engineering the students become better professionals andbetter citizens while the community benefits”.1The approach of SLICE is to integrate the service-learning (S-L) component into core credit-bearing courses (and not as elective courses as implemented by the EPICS2 model for example).The SLICE program aims to offer at least one service-learning project per semester to everystudent in every department within the college of

DEVELOPING ASSESSMENT PRACTICES FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATIONAssessment, in the context of education, is the process of measuring what a student knows [1].The reasons to perform assessment can be quite varied. Such reasons include a need or desire to:(1) determine whether students have learned the material that is being taught, (2) determinewhether students have mastered knowledge that is a

An estimated 2.7 million jobs are likely to be needed as a result of retirements of theexisting workforce, while 700,000 jobs are likely to be created due to natural business growth.(5)In addition to retirements and economic expansion, other factors contribute to the shortage ofskilled workforce, including loss of embedded knowledge due to movement of experiencedworkers, a negative image of the manufacturing industry among younger generations, lack ofSTEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills among workers, and a gradualdecline of technical

The beam is constructed using twoplanks by setting one on edge (the stem of the T) and nailing the other down the middle to thetop edge. The quiz question asked students to specify s, the maximum nail spacing required tosafely fasten the two planks together for the given loading. Students learn about internal forcesin statics and then shear flow and shear stress in strength of materials courses.

Qualitative datagleaned from the focus groups and one-on-one interviews appear to support this result. First-yearengineering students cited an interest in STEM and the perceived hands-on nature of engineeringas reasons they decided to pursue engineering as a college major and career [10]. As studentsprogressed in their engineering studies, they began to mention the philanthropic nature ofengineering (helping others, making a difference in the world) as motivational to their pursuit ofan engineering career.
