engineeringknowledge.IntroductionFor several years, graduate students, engineering faculty, and selected undergraduates atBrigham Young University have been involved in projects developing new technologyfor small, autonomous vehicles, both ground- and air-based. Since student interest inrobotics is widespread, and since the communication, vision, and control sub-systems forthese vehicles are based on principles addressed in our undergraduate program, it wasnatural to create additional opportunities to expose our undergraduate students to theunique and challenging technical problems arising in this application area. In 2006, webegan a new senior capstone project that builds on past successes with other robot-basedsenior projects, including a Robot Soccer project in which
bioengineering experiences in the chemical engineering curriculum39Trouble SpotsTrouble spots for this course include: ≠ Students may possess weak math skills. Instructors can develop handouts to step students through difficult solution processes (such as solving differential equations). Have them practice with in-class problems and homework before testing them. ≠ Students may have difficulty in connecting highly theoretical content to real industrial applications – if there is an internet connected computer and projector in the classroom, instructors can use online and/or laboratory demonstrations to make a strong connection. This connection can also help students with their follow-on classes

Programs such as this one cannot help to better equip our engineers to go out andcompete in the global economy. This model can be used in other language classes withEngineers and we might expand these exercises to include French, Portuguese, andArabic.Fall 2004 College of Design: Industrial Design Industrial Design is the field concerned with the creative development of productsthat people use.

This suggests that involvement with STEM Club increases student knowledge andinterest in heat transfer concepts and application resulting in more STEM related discussion.Previous research has shown that the presence of well-defined goals help to engage studentinterest and interaction with science challenges (Sadler, Coyle, & Schwartz, 2000). STEM Clubalso provides a well-defined goal (to save the penguins through constructing an enclosure), andappears to have a positive impact upon participant knowledge and interest in science.

learning with applications of technology and design. The main objective of seniordesign courses in engineering and engineering technology curricula is to bridge the gap betweentheory and real world practice. Accordingly, the proposed senior projects should includeelements of both credible analysis and experimental proofing such as design and implementationas discussed in ABET criteria6, 7. Additionally, the senior design courses can serve as anexcellent culminating experience in the program of study when it focuses on research and designprojects that have practical value to consumers or to industrial customers.Undergraduate engineering or engineering technology curricula are facing a number ofchallenges including a rapid growth in what is

Theauthors explored various resources, including academic publications, professional organizationinitiatives, U.S. government materials, job postings, and LE programs, to gather relevantinformation. They also proposed a framework to define LE through four perspectives:Theoretical foundations, Research impacts, Analytical methods, and Practical applications. Thispaper can be considered as an initial step toward a comprehensive understanding of LE, guidingthe development of core competencies and research on assessing student learning and programsuccess.Additionally, Baker and co-authors explored the potential of LE to advance both theory andpractice of learning [7].

manageable with only two courseadministrators.The GoalThe focus of this project was to enhance the engineering experience for freshmen by introducingpractical engineering applications and a bit of familiar technology. In the past, students wererequired to sit through a one-hour lecture once a week to fulfill a one-credit, seminarrequirement. The enhancement to the class was to broaden the scope of the course, knockingdown the barrier of the classroom walls and increasing contact with more experiencedengineering populations; this change was made possible by funding provided through the TulaneInterdisciplinary Studies (TIDES) Program administered by the Provost’s Office.[1] The threeareas where the class would reach outside of the physical lecture
President Obama’s “Change the Equation” campaign in 2010,4 STEM education continues tobe explored through various avenues, including research in academia, museum programming,and competitive events. The consensus amongst educational practitioners indicates the future of K-12 education to bestrongly technology-driven, particularly in the use of cyberlearning techniques.3 Presently, manyuniversity institutions offer online courses, while a subset of these institutions provide theopportunity for enrolled students to earn online degrees. Curriculum designers can, and mostlikely will, adapt this web-based learning technique to K-12 education in some form, through thecreation of digital instruction materials and interactive software, with particular

Each ofthese projects provided some concrete findings for instructional design. Project topic areas were: 1. Food Bank software for tracking inventory and donations 2. Ridesharing for our geographical area 3. Making an existing mobile transportation application (OneBusAway.org) useful for low resource communities 4. Turn a mobile phone into a doctor’s office 5.

Today, post-secondaryeducation students, in industrialized countries, have access to a compendium of information atlight-speed.7,8 Therefore, engineering programs must partner with industry professionals to keeppace with the engineering fields’ evolving needs. While industry partners continue to express theneed that engineering students entering the profession possess a strong foundation of theory andexercise, there is a loud and clear expectation for practical skills, problem-solving abilities, andteam-based collaborative success.6 Without the loud voices from industry, effectively driving thedirection

While such a course was appropriate in the past, the currentcrop of entering freshman is increasingly savvy about the use of computers, the network and theInternet. Almost every student uses e-mail on a regular basis and has used word-processingsoftware for writing reports. In addition, there is an increasing cohort of students who have usedbasic spreadsheet functions and have basic programming skills.This change in the baseline of the entering freshman points to a need for a paradigm shift in
investment, all creating woefully wasteful, exaggerated and inflamedcosts. Some of the more obvious problems stem from simple problems to solve such as havingmultiple mail server applications or over three dozen web design tools. These are simply lowhanging fruit when it comes to efficiency gains.Colleges and universities are under increasing pressure to accomplish four things: increaserevenues, decrease expenses, improve quality and strengthen reputation7 (p. 1).
