These services vary, starting from the needed hardware to the applications. Several research efforts 5 in educational field focused on using public clouds like Windows Azure 11 , Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) 12 , and Google AppEngine 13 . While standardization efforts are underway by NIST and others, majority of the cloud users seek the power of the Cloud in the infrastructure, platforms, software, and services.

Moreadvanced concepts such as formal trade-offs, analyses and sensitivity studies are more geared forthe undergraduate university education. The art and science of synthetically deriving a systemarchitecture, including principals of functional decomposition, allocation, aggregation andpartitioning of a system will require some engineering and domain experience [16] and lendsitself to organization level training, or graduate level education.Modeling and simulation have also been around for decades [13] and are well rooted in thesciences and
. The results are intended to provide educators data and insight into the impacts ofimplementing rapid prototyping technology into design curricula. Models and prototypes serve two purposes: providing a medium for the designer toevaluate and assess a design as well as communicate the design to other individuals. This reportwill focus on two factors of models which lead directly to better interpersonal communication aswell as formative assessments leading to design iterations. These two factors are the consistencyof scale throughout the model as well as craftsmanship.Research Question The research question addressed in this study is given: Is the quality of the finishedpresentation models the same for each method?

Rahrooh, Nick Safai University of Central Florida/University of Central Florida/Salt Lake City CollegeI. IntroductionAs our global community increases its utilization of new technologies in the distributionand acquisition of knowledge and information, new paradigms in engineering andtechnology education emerge. Engineering education’s traditional standards, methods andeducational models must be reassessed in order to proactively address future needs in thetraining of engineers and technologists.A successful engineering education model must
has included asenior-level capstone design course in its curriculum structure. While the inclusion of thissingle course is an essential ingredient of a program which trains competent design-orientedengineers, it nonetheless falls short of achieving this goal due to a variety of factors.Studies have shown that engineering design is a crucial concept in the total educational andlearning experience [1], and its success depends on the implementation of a program whichintegrates a number of desirable educational approaches. These approaches include, but arenot limited to: creative thinking, active learning, increased awareness and participation,integrated research, teamwork, decision making, communicating, managing conflicts andinteracting with
VectorDynamics engineering course [13]. However, when compared to a class of students who did notuse these tools, academic outcomes were inconclusive and researchers could not determine thatthe course with simulations would result in greater academic success than a control class. Withinthe class where all students were offered video tutorials and simulations, those who did notwatch any of the videos received poor grades, suggesting that students’ level of participation inthe hands-on activities could predict their future exam performance [13]. It is important tocontinue investigating the use of simulations in engineering education, particularly in vectordynamics, to improve student outcomes.3.

© 2005, American Society for Engineering Education Rationale: Robotics education has a unique role to play in integrating and applying STEM concepts to real dynamic problems. Research has shown that academics can be reinforced through the proper selection of formal and informal learning opportunities7, 9. Many science and technology teachers are already involved in robotic competitions such as FIRST, BEST, FIRST LEGO League, and BotBall. Yet, there is virtually no measurement of the learning outcomes of these competitive events. The project proposes to develop opportunities and materials to support authentic learning and assessment in robotics education as a means to demonstrate how core academics and engineering and technology

StorageBesides the education, the SEE master’s degree program will create opportunities for faculty-student research and grant-seeking. Recognizing the importance of sustainable energy, the NSFand DOE will be the most important funding sources. These efforts will be supported byadditional faculty in SEE, expanded physical space, and student enrollment in the program. Thelicensure application for this program will take around one and half year and this program willstart in Spring, 2010.4.
