Challenges for a General Engineering CurriculumGeneral engineering programs must cover material from multiple sub-disciplines, so theircourses must each cover a broad range of topics.11 The ECU GE program (B.S. in Engineering)supports four concentrations (Biomedical, Bioprocess, Industrial Systems, and MechanicalEngineering). Students in all concentrations take common core courses before starting
transmission, each student simply hadto change one line of code to let the program know which GPIO was active. The student wouldalso need to modify the local or device name within the code to give their wearable unit a uniqueBluetooth identity.Cell Phone App. Like the wireless link to the phone, the cell phone app was initially handled by ateaching assistant, who provided a turnkey starter template so that each student would not haveto initiate this part of the project on their own. In other words, since course prerequisites did nottarget app programming, it seemed reasonable to help students get started in this regard.The first step in the development process utilized the nRF Connect mobile application.32 Thisapplication can connect to a Bluetooth

They need to be able to concurrently satisfy these competingneeds, as well as constraints specific to the design challenges at hand. Responding to theserequirements are the growing fields of green engineering and sustainable engineering. Both ofthese areas encompass many concepts, ideas, and tools, all of which are essential information forgraduates to know and understand. Many degree programs do not offer this type of informationto their students. It is true that modifying curricula can be challenging, especially as pressuremounts to teach the students

approaches. First, we explain the procedure instraight text, often with a worked-out example. Second, we demonstrate the application of theprocedure with a “Walkthrough”: an animation combining voice and graphics that walks thestudent through an example of the procedure. Such an approach is viewed as particularlyeffective, since it engages both aural (hearing) and visual pathways, diminishing the mentalload on each. This is particularly the case when we want the student to make appropriateconnections between words and evolving graphics.Students themselves engage in problem solving procedures first in formative assessment “LearnBy Doing” (LBD) exercises and later in summative assessment “Did I Get This?” (DIGT)exercises.

modified toincrease the learning experience offered to the students. Collaboration with other universitieshas been discussed as a possible future goal of the course. This collaboration would involve theVirginia Tech Distance Learning Program in teaching the course work remotely and then havingstudents participate in the flight test via remote Internet link. Students would also be given theopportunity work in the simulation lab during a special summer session to experience flying thesimulator. In aiding this distance learning, a visual system upgrade to the simulation is needed inorder to transmit the aircraft visuals to remote location. A visual system upgrade would alsoallow for both a nighttime and day time testing environment as well as for a
interactive, collaborative and team-oriented classroom environments forstudents to explore theoretical concepts through physical experiments and computer modeling.The primary guiding principle in the development of the laboratory modules is Constructivism,supplemented by experiential learning in the context of active learning techniques.The laboratory sessions provide an opportunity for students to enquire, explore, collaborate, andhave fun while learning. They also provide an excellent forum for experiential learning, wherebyan experience is transformed into knowledge. Students in teams of three or four participate inlaboratory activities that consist of either physical experiments or computer modeling. Thecommercial computer program used provides
supported by communicationskills: graphical, oral, and written. The course is made up of three components with eachcomponent meeting for a single two-hour period once a week. This gives a total classmeeting time of six hours per week for fifteen weeks.The first component of the course introduces students to computer application skills usingCAD. It also develops student design competencies in the topical area of communication.Topics covered include internet navigation, website design, word processing, MS PowerPoint presentations, and computer aided design and drafting using AutoCAD.The second component of the course deals with manual graphic and drafting skills.Students are introduced to the fundamentals of orthographic projection.

during theposttest mapping task were considered deep propositions. This suggests that students werelearning substantive content. Also interesting is the extent that deep propositions existed instudents’ pretest maps, which suggests that some students had considerable knowledge of thecontent prior to the ISIS activity. This result may reflect students’ retention of material coveredin earlier courses. A capstone course typically requires synthesis and application of ideascovered in earlier courses, as was the case in this study.V.
