I believe this is because welding andcasting activities are reinforced through lab exercises. Polymer manufacturing processes arenot currently covered in MET 142 lab. Two labs will be developed that will allow students toview and/or perform from six to ten common polymer manufacturing processes. Once the labshave been performed, student understanding will be evaluated through quizzes and exams andperformance will be compared to previous performance of students that did not participate inthe new labs.Results: (Describe the outcome of your

tactile activities as well as anypotential combinations of the three.The teaching styles of the instructor or educator can also impact the ability for students to learn.While taking into consideration traditional methods of teaching, the focus is placed upon theinstructor who follows a set curriculum with topics arranged in a linear fashion to meet pre-determined goals set forth for the course by the school or university [2]. This common lecturestyle is referred to as a “transmission approach,” one which most educators are familiar withbecause it is the general norm among academics according to Osborn and Nag [2]. However,they believe that a constructivist approach is more conducive to learning, because it removes thefocus from the instructor and

With that said, it is necessary to understand hownon-computing engineers may apply data science in their work, as this remains a challenge in thefield. In the context of engineering education and practice, Beck et al.’s article suggests addingdata science as a “competency” in chemical engineering both in “the university curriculum or ina professional development context.” They also

The student further explained that “I hadn’t done much specificresearch into laboratory learning, but when doing research I was able to refer back to myexperience with experiential learning.” The third student had initially been a neuroscience major,and thus had taken a psychology course where he had been exposed to various learning andcognition theories.

; Hirleman note widespread consensus about thedifficulty of “integrating global education into the engineering curriculum to impact all students”[1, p. 23], in no small part due to the “curricular rigidity” of most engineering degree programs[1, p. 11]. The present work responds to this challenge by describing a training approach thatinvolves the use of short scenario-based exercises that can easily be folded into existingcoursework. This technique has some semblance to Davis’ “micro-insertion” approach to ethicspedagogy in science and engineering courses [25]. Our scenario-based approach also resonateswith case-based approaches to engineering education [26]. Below we offer further discussion ofsome specific pedagogical strategies relevant to

While the topic of GD&T is included in acontemporary graphics textbook such as Bertoline,3 it is the last chapter and therefore unlikely tobe covered in any detail. Unfortunately, GD&T is dry and dull, particularly when compared tothe glamour of CAD.In this paper, I describe a method for students to gain insight into GD&T by using virtualmeasurement techniques.

The processcontrol system can be developed without worrying about the complexities involved in remote-process control. The remote-control system can be developed independently of the processinvolved, making it useful for many applications. Educators need not worry about integratingremote-control computing into process design and development curriculum, as remote-controlcomputing can be taught as a computer literacy subject, like word processing or spread sheetcomputing.Remote-control computingRemote-control computing refers to the ability of one computer system to control anothercomputer system from a remote location.
