problemsolvers, they need team players, and they need innovative minds. This may only beachievable through progressive curriculums and effective partnerships betweenindustries, universities, and government institutions. Those partners that make the bestinvestment in technically competent employees are going to be those that prosper inthe 21st century.In conjunction with lecturing and testing, it is important to engage students andchallenge them in a creative problem-solving manner that fosters their individualgrowth and development. As the theoretical knowledge is internalized, studentsbecome intrinsically motivated search engines to fuel their own intellectual growth.To effectively connect with students at this level and prepare them for the future
engineering departments,separations and reactor design are typically taught in different courses. As a result, hybridprocesses combining reaction and separation are generally relegated to coverage during thesenior year, either in a capstone design course or in a reactor design course. Fogler1 examinedmembrane reactors as well as reactive distillation in his text, Elements of Chemical ReactionEngineering, and has developed web modules for instruction on these topics. The availability ofthe instructional content in the text as well as the web modules provide other instructors withtools that can be easily incorporated into their courses.The simulated moving bed reactor (SMBR) exemplifies process intensification through thecoupling of separation and
competition between student teams. This paper is a report on freshman engineering courses using the Living with the Lab(LWTL) curriculum and the Arduino platform to teach programming, sensing, and control.LWTL was developed with the Boe-Bot mobile robotics platform and the Basic Stampmicrocontroller 20. The Boe-Bot has a large community of practitioners and high qualityeducational materials. The Arduino is a robust and easy-to-use platform with a strong communityof developers and users. The Arduino uses a modern microcontroller architecture and has bettersupport for sensor input than the Basic Stamp. Although there are many examples of usingArduino in simple projects, the breadth and quality of the educational materials for the Arduinodoes not

Enhanced Biomedical Engineering Education and for Engineering Ethics Competitions — Ethical Twists and Cost Assessment RequiredAbstractThis paper builds on an important didactic element of course described at the 2011 ASEEconference.1 This present paper expands on its emphasis on story writing and reflection, but withan added ethics twist. A great short story requires superb character development, an excellentplot often with a seminal event and with twists, ethical dilemmas and an outcome. For ourbiomedical and rehabilitation engineering (BmRE) course, we also require a triage component,diagnosis, treatment and a cost-of-care analysis. The fact that the students themselves developedthe story line internalized the ethical
from failure that are not often covered as part of theengineering curriculum. One way to teach skills related to the entrepreneurial mindset as well asan appreciation of the product design process is through epistemic games. Epistemic games arecomputer simulations that provide students the opportunity to think like a professional within aspecific field, hence learning to identify with the key characteristics of that profession.5,6In this research study, the epistemic game Nephrotex was utilized within a senior chemicalengineering product design class to develop students’ entrepreneurial mindsets. Our rationale forutilizing Nephrotex was for students to gain an understanding of working within a product designcompany and the competing opinions

range of approaches to teaching the first-yearengineering courses are provided in the literature. Introduction to engineering courses areincluded in most engineering curriculums; the courses may include content from a range ofengineering disciplines [21]–[26] or may be comprised of several discipline-specific labs ormodules that the students rotate through [27]–[29]. A common approach to non-disciplinaryspecific introductory courses is to focus on an engineering skill or process that is common to allengineering disciplines, e.g., the engineering design process.All courses—disciplinary and non-disciplinary—typically use team projects to develop designthinking and communication skills that are necessary across all engineering disciplines [17]–[23

oversimplified pieces of the process and nowthat these are known to work, the simplifications need to be removed from theprocess to reevaluate effectiveness. Most importantly, a more accurate, effective,and efficient way of evaluating cost is needed. A component of the RET experiencewas the development of a Legacy Cycle inquiry lesson unit intended to connectengineering research to high school mathematics and science curriculum standards.This poster session will focus on a mathematics legacy cycle I implemented with 32students in the 2009–10 school year. The legacy cycle featured an exploration oflinear programming, the simplex method, and very basic genetic algorithms todemonstrate to the student the various roles optimization can play throughout
integration of analytics tools fostered the engineering students the ability to forecast require-ments and create new methods critical to their engineering design.Data analytics was also added to a core course on product manufacturing in the industrial engi-neering curriculum [7]. The pedagogical method was developed by first analyzing and compar-ing product manufacturing processes and data analytics techniques. Then the result of this anal-ogy was used to develop a teaching and learning method for data analytics. For implementationand validation purposes, a Project Based Learning (ProjBL) approach was adopted, in which stu-dents used the methodology to complete real-world data analytics projects. Data from students'grades shows that this approach

Enhance Understanding of Faraday’s and Lenz’s LawsIntroductionMany high-school students and teachers find the concepts of Faraday’s and Lenz’s laws to bedifficult to comprehend and often cannot see their relevance to our everyday lives. In manycases, these topics are omitted from the high-school curriculum or given a cursory coverage dueto the teachers’ lack of comfort with this material. However, these two laws are a criticalfoundation for many of the key technological innovations which have taken place over the past100 years, particularly in the area of electricity generation. As such, it is important that all high-school students develop a basic comprehension of these laws and how they can be used in anengineering

Next, we further clarifythe grounding in liberation as a complement to ethical, political, economic, and more familiarmodes of social thought. With that context set we then focus on the emergence of imaginalcapacity in struggles against oppression. Finally, the pilot curriculum is described and datacollection and analysis are discussed.2.

engineering interest in 7th through 12thgrade students. This is achieved through the design and development of an underwater remotelyoperated vehicle (ROV). While the programs are great successes, they lack an in-depthcurriculum to support teachers who are supervising SeaPerch and MATE groups. To address thisneed, we have developed a curriculum covering ROV-related subjects such as motors, electricity,force, and fluid mechanics. The material is targeted at middle and high school students with orwithout physics backgrounds.To enable SeaPearch and MATE teachers and advisors to teach the scientific and technologicalconcepts related to underwater ROVs, thus improving the technical education of the studentsinvolved, training modules for middle and high
acceptance and success is theusefulness and applicability of the projects. Students are highly motivated by tasks that stemfrom real engineering problems arising from their field of study2.One of those projects, the development of computer programs for the simulation andvisualization of two-dimensional incompressible fluid flows, is presented in this paper.The behavior of a viscous incompressible fluid is governed by the simplified Navier-Stokesequations, a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations. While the numericalsolution of linear partial differential equations is part of the standard EngineeringMathematics curriculum, the nonlinearity of the problem made it necessary to offersupplementary lectures in order to bridge the
values and how they relate to theoverall curriculum. Notwithstanding that there are many challenges to increasing thenon-technical content, shared value development can help shift the culture to allow foropenness to meaningful change in this area.Research && Teaching - We have captured this co-contrary in the cultural dimension ofMasculinity/Femininity. The cultural norm within engineering education is that prestige(associated with the norm of masculinity) is highly attributed to the Research practicethrough many structural components of higher education, and specifically as they relateto Tenure and Promotion and compensation. Engineering education would benefit fromadditional focus associated with Teaching and the Scholarship of
project effectiveness. Formative evaluation strategiescontribute to the development and implementation of the curriculum. Formative Evaluationswere performed at the completion of the camps to answer these questions: • How do students rate the quality of and their satisfaction with various activities? • How do instructors, assistants and participants view the usefulness of their activities or participation?The summative evaluation addressed the quality and usefulness of the completed activities. Thisdata is collected at six month and one year offsets from the end of each camp. Summativeevaluation questions included: • What was the overall quality and effectiveness of the activities based on student and parent ratings and

With this in mind, we developed a four-quarter sequence in biomedicalengineering design that features an extended vertical mentoring interaction between seniors inthe final quarter of their capstone experience and junior design teams just beginning the designprocess.The main intent of vertical mentoring – that is, bringing students of different cohorts together –is to enable more senior (usually upperclassmen) students to guide and advise their more juniorclassmates. It depends on the specific situation as to whether the mentoring is specific (theSeniors advise) or ‘by example’ (the
