students’awareness, motivation, and retention in nanotechnology increased. The impact of the course onstudents’ perspective were also evident in their written comments.The majority of the students in California State University, Chico are first generation students andcome from minority communities. This course was their first exposure to fundamental andapplication of nanotechnology. The inclusion of Nanoscale Science and Engineering course to theundergraduate engineering curriculum has a significant role in the advancement ofnanotechnology. Students graduating with a solid understanding of broad applications ofnanotechnology and advanced material fabrication and characterization techniques will have afocused start in their graduate research and education or
, integrating hands-on STEM into early education is especially demanding forteachers with non-STEM backgrounds [1]. The current lack of STEM-centric education increasesrestrictions on teachers to integrate project-based learning into the classroom, as well as thepressure to build an inclusive education system for all. According to research conducted todetermine the effectiveness of teacher preparation for STEM subjects, students consistentlyachieved higher academic results learning under teachers who already had higher educationcertification in an academic field, STEM or otherwise [2]. Additionally, elementary schooleducators rate their confidence in teaching math and literature at approximately 80%, while theyfeel significantly less prepared to teach

As a result, project controls continues to be a primary means used toachieve a wide range of project goals and objectives. Due to its importance, many constructionengineering and management (CEM) programs around the world maintain several projectcontrols courses such as time control, cost control, and quality control. Given this background,this paper presents a new frontier for project controls education through the use of modeling andsimulation software.The

This system isdesignated to be capable of mobilizing NASA EOS (earth observation system) data andinformation through web service and knowledge management technologies for higher-educationteaching and research. This system automates a range of geo-computational services at a limitednumber of geospatial domains and greatly facilitates the construction of complex geo-computation services and modeling, and makes petabytes of NASA EOS data and information,especially those in the ECS data pools, as easily accessible as their local resources, to higher-education users, professors, and students.

However, we as educators focus our effortsprimarily on the lecture mode.Now there is a body of educational research that suggests t hat the learning takes place primarilyin the corrective feedback path. In electrical engineering systems we call this a negativefeedback. The negative feedback is an appropriate term in electrical engineering systems, but insocial systems, we can simply use the term feedback.

Research shows that whileengineering grads have technical expertise, they often lack the soft skills employers need, likecommunication, collaboration, and strategic thinking. Studies advocate incorporatinginterdisciplinary team projects, simulations, and emerging technologies into STEM curricula tosystematically build these skills [7]. Soft skills training also helps women transition into STEMcareers [8]. Comprehensive STEM education that develops leadership abilities alongsidetechnical competencies allows graduates to thrive in global corporations [9]. However, gaps insoft skills from education persist, pointing to a need for increased

introduction of newengineering curricula. There was a shift in academic staff recruitment fromprofessional practitioners in engineering to those graduating with higherdegrees in engineering from Australian universities. By 1988 when thebifurcation of higher education ended, engineering courses at the “oldtechnical colleges” resembled those of traditional universities with deeplyingrained norms of science. The science hegemony became further entrenchedin engineering education when as a result of poor intakes into science in manyuniversities the faculties of science and engineering merged. The scientificview of engineering was further enhanced by government research bodiesthrough research funding and unlike for other professions, such as law,medicine

cope with this disadvantage, all courses that lead to completion of the degree areoffered as web-based, online curriculum. This grants students, who may not have immediateaccess to a college campus, the ability to take classes without the limitations their geographiclocation presents.There are some who find this form of education unfulfilling and lacking in comparison to thetraditional form of education that occurs in a “face-to-face” manner, only available in a physicalclassroom setting. However, research by Steinman (2007)7 has found that when performed in away which promotes interaction between pupil, instructor, and fellow students, web-basededucation can be just as effective at delivering a quality educational experience.While the
this wouldhave been more beneficial had they been allowed to discuss different aspects of the articles. Although they couldpost questions for the class on the web, they felt that an interactive discussion during class would have been "morepractical, applicable and beneficial."A final note on the success of collaborative strategies involves students working in isolation at remote sites. Oneoff-campus site had only one student. He spoke about the detrimental effects of not having a learning partner at thesite. "It would have been easier if another student was here."In summary, the research results suggest that students in this distance education class utilized all of thecommunication tools provided. They found value in the interactive and
