help neweducators develop best teaching practices.IntroductionThere are many demands placed on new educators, including outstanding teaching, research, andservice. Guidance, also known as mentoring, from senior faculty would ease the stress ofmeeting these demands by providing information about policies, introductions to others in thefield, and offering teaching and research tips. The most common definition of mentoring is, “arelationship between an experienced, successful individual and a less experienced menteewhereby the latter receives guidance and advice from the former”1-3. Several studies4-7 revealedmany benefits of mentoring for both the mentors and the mentees. The benefits for menteesinclude: achieving new goals, remaining focused on

SummaryWe are clearly in the midst of a dynamic and imaginative period of educational reform whereindustry and research have provided a clear indication of societal needs. The performancebased approach has proven to be an effective means for the fulfillment of these needs andauthentic assessment tools have been shown to enrich the learning process.

The national growth of the BMEprograms calls for new educational materials supporting biomedical engineering.Micro/nano-robotics for biomedical applications is an emerging area that has receivedadvancement during the last decade. Despite of books/textbooks in nanotechnology, for example,there are a growing number of articles appearing in journals and conference proceedings inbiomedical micro/nano-robotics5-7. Medical robotics has been an active research area since the80s and an enormous amount of teaching materials is available, particularly in medicalinstrumentation and medical imaging. Contrary to the large amount of teaching and learningmaterials on large-scale medical robots, instructional materials on micro/nanorobotics are

to us by other human beings. A third element that especially applies totechnical students is the availability of parts and equipment to perform laboratory experiments and appliedlearning activities. Most schools have well equipped laboratories, staffed with laboratory assistants toguide the students through assigned projects. Remote students traditionally have had to get parts andequipment on their own, rely on available local facilities, use only computer synthesis of the laboratoryexperiments, or not do the hardware part of the learning exercises at all.Working on a grant from the Utah Educational Council and funding from Orchid Educational Enterprises,Inc.

In 1990, female freshmen in engineering regained some momentum and thepercentage increased from 17.7% (16,674) to nearly 19% in 1995, by slight but consistent annualincreases.4 However, women received only 17.4% of the baccalaureate degrees, 16.7% of themasters degrees and 12.1% of the doctoral degrees in engineering in 1995.5 These figuresimpact our workforce substantially. Women are 9% of all working engineers this year. Why are women still underrepresented in engineering? The research indicates thatwomen’s educational experiences

The research question for this study is: What is the role ofproblem-oriented pedagogical strategies in increasing the diversity of students in technicaleducation among community college students? In this paper, we argue that success intechnology and engineering education requires technical capital, which is experience with“tinkering,” manipulating tools, doing hands-on work, and knowing the process of solvingproblems that require technical solutions. Thus, to increase diversity in technology andengineering education and careers, programs should
. Another concern is the possibilitythat chatbots could be used to encourage academic dishonesty, such as by providing answers toassignments or exams. Some researchers have argued that chatbots have the potential to facilitateplagiarism by providing students with ready-made answers to assignments and assessments [24]. In [25],the authors presented the potential for chatbots to be used to cheat on online exams. The author in [26]also addressed this issue. These studies highlight the need for careful consideration of the ethicalimplications of using chatbot in education. The recent release of ChatGPT in November 2022 (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) by OpenAI(https://openai.com/), an AI-powered chatbot, has marked a significant advancement in

that apply to manufacturing equipment. The research that wasconducted with SafetyNET was focused on mechanical power presses, but the resultinginferences are believed to be broadly applicable to most manufacturing machinery.The inherent danger of industrial machinery and the risks posed by allowing untrained personnelto work with those machines were identified as major challenges to performing the research inthat study. The need to control the safety of the environment required a trained press operator tobe an intermediary as the participants studied the press. This limited their ability to freelyinteract with the machine, adversely affecting both research and educational objectives. Thispaper explores how the expert system software developed

These efforts oftenstop at developing new collections of knowledge and intellectual property. We believe thatengineering education programs are ideally positioned to focus on the innovation andenterprising processes of developing these novel ideas into real-world solutions that providebenefit and value to some group of stakeholders. Based on this reasoning, we restate a definitionof innovation from Schindel4 - Innovation is defined as the ability to develop novel solutions toproblems that create value and result in significantly enhanced stakeholder satisfaction.Recent work has begun
