Session 2648 Using Computer-Aided Design to Enhance Engineering Technology Education Daniel M. Chen Central Michigan UniversityAbstractThis article discusses the use of a computer-aided design (CAD) software as an enhancement toan undergraduate mechanical engineering technology program. With advances in both hardwareand software, the technology in CAD is changing rapidly. Although many major softwarepackages in the market are much easier to learn and use, they are more sophisticated in terms ofcapabilities. It is easy for one to know what the
column addresses the secondmajor failing of many curriculum proposals written by engineering educators: an apparentunfamiliarity with the literature of instructional theory, as evidenced by a paucity of citations tothat literature. For instance, assuming that it indeed is the case that traditional approaches toteaching physics are "too abstract," that they are "ineffective," and that they adversely affectstudent recruitment to the sciences and engineering, what evidence exists that would suggest that"hands-on" or collaborative versions of freshman physics would ameliorate the problem? Or, inthe absence of such evidence, what can at least be inferred from the similar work of others? Ifthere is no research directly related to the teaching of
, the name is symbolic ofthe connective and open features of the proposed laboratory. It is intended to support con-nective learning, facilitating closer interaction among students and instructor. It is designedto connect students with real systems and real problems. The course materials resultingfrom this project will be accessible to students on and off campus via the Internet, so that “open” takes on an extended meaning encompassing accessibility, networked/interoperablesystems, distance education, and resource sharing.The focus for the curriculum development is embedded computing systems. Research resultsin real-time computing, software engineering, and wireless systems are being transferred tothe instructional domain. We are applying a

, EA runs directly against most cases for “Engineering as an altruistic STEM career” [1].EA doesn’t pose a higher good of civic involvement or service against the temptation tomaximize elevated personal earnings. Most surprisingly, EA advocates often treat empathy, acentral focus of much current engineering education research, as a mere shortcoming in decision-making, misdirecting altruistic impulses to causes that are emotionally engaging but logicallysubordinate to causes with more proven need or measurable benefit to be discovered by “runningthe numbers.” This paper looks at the prominence of effective altruism among STEMprofessionals, considers its tensions with practices in empathic and socially engaged engineeringeducation, and treats
