Unlike group-project activities incorporated under some of theengineering curriculum, which is composed of students with the same major discipline andclassification and typically lasts a couple months or the formal senior capstone design projectswhich extend throughout a semester or two of the students’ senior year, the MAKERS prototypedevelopment team are composed of students from diverse background and classification workingtowards a specific goal. All students are required to actively participate and contribute to theproject, attend periodic meetings, and present the prototype development project at the jointannual STEM conference of all the participating
first-year seminar. Whilethe first-year seminar is under development, the modules were incorporated into an Introductionto Engineering course. This course is not a required course for engineering majors and there arenon-majors that take the course, however, many students that are considering an engineeringmajor and are taking the pre-calculus courses in preparation for the engineering foundationcourses also take Introduction to Engineering. Therefore, it allowed for the modules to beutilized so that the results of their implementation could be reviewed for further updates.IntroductionWhen students enter their first year of college, they face many obstacles such as a new, moreadvanced curriculum, difficulty managing their time effectively, as

students making them willing to work extra hard toachieve the high expectations set by the teacher in this class. However, six weeks do not allowenough time to conduct a project of this magnitude to middle school students. The pacing worksfor designing the robot, building it, and programming the sensors. While working on the objectrecognition portion of the problem, students struggled with programming due to its complexity.The recommendation is that the robot perception part of the project be a second layer ofinstruction incorporating two extra six weeks into the curriculum. The first six weeks would bededicated to research and the second six weeks dedicated to development and testing of software.SummaryStudents programmed the VEX sensors, which

development of solid models. Engineering graphics and CAD software training can be divided into the following broadcategories: Most academic institutions have one or more graphics and/or solid modeling courses in their curriculum to teach students basic graphics principles and how to use one of the available commercial software packages.

These short courses are a required and graded component of two bioprocess engineering courses. Develop companion web-based materials to provide students with prerequisite material, maximizing the time spent on hands-on laboratory activities on-site at BTEC, as well as providing an opportunity for students at other institutions to enroll.

biochemical engineering.It is obvious that the successful commercialization of the developments in biochemicalengineering depends on the technical advance in biochemistry and biology as well as theeducation of those who will implement such advances. We believe that the biotechnology andpharmaceutical industries benefit best from chemical engineers who have been trained andeducated on how to implement and expand chemical engineering knowledge to biologicalsystems. One way of achieving this is by adding new experiments in biochemical engineeringto the undergraduate chemical engineering laboratory curriculum 1 (unit operations laboratory).The overall objectives of this endeavor are: 1) to familiarize the students with the operation ofequipment used in
Session 2793 Development of a Java2-based Tutorial Binary Calculator for the Instruction of Binary Arithmetic Gerard N. Foster Purdue University, School of Technology, Kokomo, IndianaAbstractThis paper describes instructional software developed to teach binary arithmetic. The heart ofthe software is a binary calculator written in Java2. This tutorial calculator performs addition,subtraction, and the logical operations, AND, OR, XOR and XNOR. There are two modes ofnumber entry. The problem values are either generated randomly or are entered by the student.A log of the number of

Allow sufficient time for development, and search for other Universities thatmay be involved in your area of training.After adequate preparation, offer the course one time with the understanding that this is aprototype and may need to be modified during the course. Again, allow sufficient time beforeoffering the course again to refine the curriculum. The course described here went throughapproximately one semester of development time; however, a good deal of material had beendeveloped for a current course in Electronics Manufacturing and through different summerprograms.The instructors must be sensitive to the diverse group of students that will take the course.

Following the conception ofcontinuous education the English-Russian translation course at the FAE is divided into threestages: basic module of language studies, tree-year module “Translation” and one-yearmodule “Professional translation”. The three-year module includes a big amount of in-class and independent studies.Language training of future translators is carried out simultaneously with their engineeringmajor and includes the following
Project-Based Learning in a Simulation Course to Develop an Entrepreneurial Mindset Michael E. Kuhl Industrial and Systems Engineering Department Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, NY 14623AbstractHaving an entrepreneurial mindset is often a characteristic of highly successful engineers. Thismindset can be cultivated through engineering curriculum and educational methods. This workpresents a case study in which project-based learning is utilized in a simulation course to foster thedevelopment of an entrepreneurial mindset in engineering students. The

However, the resulting understanding of physiological functionresides in a system-specific framework that may hinder further explorations into other novelsystems outside the curriculum. Educational research supports that students, particularly youngadults, learn complex topics better through using simulations with instructional guidance.1,2Studies have also shown that simulations are best

Three main areas need to be worked on to bridge the gap between academia andindustry: (1) course content, (2) faculty development, and (3) teaching methods. (1) Many of thecourses in the chemical engineering curriculum focus on delivering fundamentals and lack anintroduction to real-world up-to-date industry applications. In addition, interpersonal andintrapersonal skills are assumed to be acquired in activities that occur as

structure from the instructor. This issomething that can be modified easily for the next workshop. Another area that could useimprovement is in developing activities tied to chemistry content. This feedback was notentirely unexpected, since both the instructor and the majority of the participants hadsubstantially more experience with physics than chemistry. The instructor has already been intouch with chemistry colleagues to try to improve this aspect.The majority of the participants also indicated that they believed their prior experience with thecurriculum writing workshop provided an excellent support for their work in the engineeringworkshop, to the point where most said they thought the curriculum workshop should be a pre-requisite for the
ofcollaboration technologies. Although there has been great emphasis on developing collaborationcompetencies in the engineering curriculum, empirical evidence of successful strategies fordistributed team settings is scarce. As an attempt to fill this gap this study investigates theimpact of a scalable intervention in developing virtual collaboration skills. The intervention,based on instructional scaffolds embedded with collaboration technologies, is aimed atsupporting specific processes including planning, goal setting, clarifying goals and expectations,communication, coordination and progress monitoring. A quasi-experimental design was used toevaluate the impact of the intervention on student teamwork skills. Data from 278 graduate andundergraduate
