focused curriculum at a pace that is suitable foreveryone? On top of this, graduate courses should aim to provide students with some means offurthering their professional development for future job prospects. One common theme between, experienced and non-experienced students, is the commongoal of advancing their education through a focused agenda. In a 2013 study, researchers foundthat most of the returning graduate students they interviewed were motivated by a utility value,or the students’ interest in expanding their skill set and creating better opportunities1.Alternatively, one could argue that non-experienced students who continued straight fromundergraduate already are motivated by a utility value, they want to further their

A hands-onapproach to learning digital/analog circuits, microcontrollers, I/O interfacing, and computerlanguage programming are key educational elements needed by the EC engineering student withinthe undergraduate career. The LEGO programmable brick or P-Brick allows the freshman studentto seamlessly learn these key areas in electrical engineering through play. The LEGO P-Brickallows a range of complexity to be design by the EC engineering educator for creating laboratorybased electronics/software projects. This paper will discuss how these engineering laboratoryprojects can be develop using the design methods of Hately/Pirhbai

Preliminary DataAs part of a prior NSF-funded project (award #1640553), Berhan and Kumar interviewed Blackstudents in both engineering and ET at the University of Toledo. ET students in that study citedthe desire for a less mathematical, more hands-on curriculum and not meeting the mathematicsadmissions requirements as reasons why they chose to enroll (or were automatically enrolled)in ET versus engineering. Below are excerpts from interviews with two different students.Male Speaker 1: “I learned engineering (science) is more the math where you sit and docalculations, which I never got up to learn and find exciting. I am more of a practical guy. I likehands-on experiences which is

This paper will firstdiscuss recent curricular changes to our BS in Engineering degree, partly sponsored by a KernEntrepreneurship Education Network (KEEN) grant, intended to enhance engineering students’understanding of business practices, societal needs, and engineering solutions. Initial changesfocused on the “endcaps” of our first-year and senior-year courses. Based on those results, anextension of the changes throughout the curriculum may be implemented. Secondly, we identifysome distinct characteristics of the general engineering curriculum that provide a fertile groundfor this type of integrative, multidisciplinary work to be carried

The project addresses the needs of three very different populations of students: (i)traditional engineering students enrolled at the main engineering campus; (ii) students enrolled ina pre-engineering program at a separate campus; and (iii) place-bound students attending aminority serving community campus with no engineering curriculum. Delivery of an exemplary,financially responsible, engineering education in each of these communities has unique challenges,including cost and availability of an instructor, cost and availability of laboratory facilities,diversity of students’ prior knowledge and cultural experiences, and variety of students’ learningstyles. In this formative year of the project we will assess (i) student content learning

Being a professional engineer requires a lot of presentation skills, in company or out and having done this presentation was a great practice in my point of view. Most of my work consists of designing new roadways. These types of projects always involve the public which means lots of public meetings. Many of the issues that arise throughout the design process for roadways are technical in nature but the public often does not have the back ground education to fully understand
