in EnvironmentalEngineering. This paper presents the general structure of this degree program, its curriculum,and marketing strategy. During the first academic year the degree program has been offered toincoming freshman as an option, whereas simultaneously a structured marketing strategy anddistance learning opportunities for students are being developed. The program will be fullylaunched for the academic year 2003-2004.I. Introduction While the baccalaureate degree may have sufficed for most practicing engineers, it isbecoming increasingly evident that current technological and societal needs demand a greaterlevel of preparation for the profession. In fact, engineering is the only profession where anundergraduate degree is a
organization which provides educational, social, and motivational support to high school students with unrealized potential to become successful college applicants.

These groups have published a set of conference papers, journal publications, andbooks that highlight the fundamental topics related to nanoscale science and engineering.For example, Stevens, Sutherland and Krajcik 21, identified the Big Ideas of Nanoscienceat the 7-12 levels. However, these “Big Ideas” may not be applicable to post-secondarynano-education.A few research studies have recently commenced to identify the core concepts ofnanotechnology in the undergraduate curriculum.

educators and students that provide insights about present beliefs. For example, do professors and students agree with or disagree with our concepts of quality? Do professors emphasize learning of the objectives? What do students believe? Regarding the scope of study, we focus on engineering analysis, which we define to bereasoning and calculations that are performed using mathematical representations of scientificconcepts. Our context is teaching and learning in engineering classes that emphasize analysisand calculations. We label such classes as engineering science classes--in our curriculum,engineering science classes include most of the classes taught by engineering professors, exceptthose specifically designated as lab or design
]).PurposeThe purpose of this research project is to develop an understanding of our community’srelationships and interactions with data, as well as to advocate for the validity andtrustworthiness of small numbers research. The research question guiding this study is: Throughan analysis of qualitative, engineering education manuscripts published in 2019, what is ourcommunity’s relationship with data? We ask this question to begin understanding the EERcommunity’s most recent qualitative research trends, as well as to determine how the calls formethodological diversity have been answered and if small numbers research is part of thisdiversity. To uncover the community’s relationship with data, we will consider the followingquestions: How do we create data

However, information such as how both classes would be conducted andtheir curriculums were not disclosed to students.At the end of the orientation, all students are given a pre-test based on the concept inventorydeveloped as part of the project. Upon completion, the students are then assigned to either thecontrol or experimental groups, where they are evenly distributed according to educational leveland skills in software programming based on the data in the pre-survey.After separating the participants into control and experimental groups, the short course wasimplemented over a one-week period.

In the early 1990’s, the Instituteof Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) first introduced these concepts of reverseengineering and product dissection, thus making them cornerstones of introductory engineeringcourses. Many studies have been conducted in introductory and undergraduate level engineeringcourses, finding that virtual product dissection can be used as a proxy for physical dissection inorder to have an impact on learning and creativity.While these studies have been systematic in nature, they have only explored product dissection inundergraduate co-located
instead of getting discouraged 2. Social modeling – seeing peers succeed at challenging tasks contributes to one’s beliefs that they will also be successful 3. Social persuasion – people can be persuaded to believe in their own abilities 4. Physical and emotional states – self-efficacy beliefs are affected by emotions like anxiety, as well as physical strength and stamina, and one’s ability to regulate emotionsThe first three mechanisms - mastery experiences, social modeling, and social persuasion - areall common elements of project-based learning. For example, cornerstone (i.e., a project whichappears early in a curriculum to serve as a foundational experience for students), capstone, andother long duration

An evaluation of theEngineering Building at the University of Texas at San Antonio has been conducted to determinewhat it will take to make it the first LEED certified green building on the UTSA campus. This studywas prompted by (1) recent indoor air quality issues in the building, (2) recent roof leaks whichrequired renovation and mold remediation within the building, (3) the planned departure of twoengineering departments (Electrical and Civil) from the building in the Fall 2005, and (4) the UTSA’scommitment to renovate the building for continued use by the Mechanical Engineering department.This study focuses on the LEED certification process for existing buildings, especially the pointawarding schedule and different levels of green

For these reasons, Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) is usedas the permanent magnet material of choice, whereas electrodeposited nickel-iron (Ni80Fe20) isused as the back iron material as well as to fill the cavities between the silicon and the permanentmagnet, and to laminate the permanent magnet inside
