clubhouses. Within the classroom setting, students were eager toshow off their designs and talk about how they overcame various setbacks, obstacles, anddifficulties along the way. An emphasis on these types of challenging activities and the results ofthis intervention may provide insight into students’ perceptions of, and abilities related tocomputer science and related STEM (Science, Technology and Engineering, and Mathematics)skills, which can aid educators in understanding how to best-prepare students for future successas technologically literate citizens, while helping move them towards a greater interest andengagement in computer science.Research ObjectiveOur research objective centered on investigating students’ perceptions of
Manufacturing Quality Control. Projectresults on research and education issues in learning for course, curriculum, and laboratorydevelopment program were also discussed. The event was organized by faculty and perspectivestudents interested in pursuing a career within engineering. Further collaboration between studentsand presenters from industry allowed for future communication and interaction of variousmanufacturing facilities. Such collaboration between presenters from industry, faculty, andstudents enhances the mobility for engineering education as modern industrial manufacturingfacilities and technological procedures/methodologies gain exposure to academia. Studentexposure to current techniques and understanding motives for their implementation

Use of Educational Technology to Transform the 50-Minute Lecture: Is Student Response Dependent on Learning Style? Chrysanthe Demetry Worcester Polytechnic InstituteAbstractEducational technologies like web-deployed assessments and student response systems provideopportunities for formative assessment that would be expected to enhance student learning andhelp create a more active classroom environment. These technologies can be used in ways thatmight help or hinder particular types of learners, yet not much research has been done in thisarea. This paper describes student response to BlackboardTM-delivered “preparation assessments”and use of the

modern work environment and current research issues demand thatscientists, engineers, and other professionals work together to understand the task at hand.Universities must answer this demand by educating students to appreciate the advantages ofcollaborating with professionals from other disciplines and those in their own academic fields.When interdisciplinary teams form, a lack of appreciation for each other’s professionalperspectives often prevents them from solving problems effectively. Intensive, cross-disciplinarydialogue is then required to produce knowledge all team members can understand. Whenbarriers to interdisciplinary research are overcome, real scientific progress and problem-solvingcan occur
