paper presents an educational effort to develop a curriculum in engineering managementwith a concentration in safety engineering at a university in the southeast United States. Thisprogram is offered both at the graduate level as well as some courses being offered at the duallevel. Both online learning as well as classroom learning is adopted to maximize outreach andaddress the needs of a growing population of students.Safety and hazardous waste management constitute the two principal pillars of programdevelopment. This paper presents an overview of the curriculum. It also examines the applicationof Six Sigma principles to curriculum development. This was done in order to ensure quality ofthe program and to expressly address needs of students

Experimental Systems through Student Projects to Enhance the Automation Curriculum in a Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program.AbstractThe use of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems in industry is on therapid increase, especially with developments of modular instruments and sensors that are easilycontrolled through Ethernet or other industry network standards. The need for skilled personnelto implement and utilize these systems is also increasing. Courses which incorporate SCADAapplications are offered widely across the nation and in many colleges. These courses ofteninclude theory and laboratory component in which students learn how to implement and programthese systems. By providing an

projects.Program HistoryIn 2016, the Mechanical Engineering Department identified Additive Manufacturing (AM) as agrowing field and an important topic to incorporate into the Mechanical Engineering (ME)curriculum at Penn State Erie (Behrend). At that time, Behrend owned approximately five 3Dprinters, and we initially developed a course where the students could utilize the machinesowned by Behrend. The course was a 1 credit lab that the senior ME students could take to filltheir program requirements (two laboratory courses of their choosing). The machines werecentrally located in Innovation Commons at Behrend, which is a makerspace that was developedby Behrend to support innovation and early manufacturing of prototypes for all Behrend studentsand local

Education, 2007 A New Paradigm to Improve Computer Education for Engineering Students: Applying Industry-based Software Development Cycle into Programming Practices Abstract Computer Programming for Engineers (or Introductory Computer Education for Engineering Students) is a fundamental engineering course in many universities. However, in the public domain, there has not been enough research on how to improve programming practices (programming labs and homework assignments) of the students. What paradigm should be followed when the students are programming? How is this paradigm helpful for students’ learning? These questions are yet to be answered. In this

While many of the student designs were not developed in depth, introducing students toa complete design experience early on in their design curriculum allowed the students to betterunderstand the need for a clear problem definition, quality requirements, rigorous decisionmaking, and clear communication. As student buy-in at various stages was highly affected by thetype of product they were working on, changing the product types at each stage ensured that nostudent was forced to work in an area they did not enjoy for the entirety of the project. Studentperformance at all stages of the activity was not hindered by the timeline. Average student

This magazine is affiliated with the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and has generated new interest in the approach to construction related education programs. The article described a grant program developed specifically for adolescent learners currently enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) programs in high schools that relied on competent personnel with actual field experience to present a portion of the lesson plans associated with the program’s developed curriculum. The program’s curriculum and related lesson plans were developed to fit the chapter outlines of the National Center

The engineering identitysurvey developed by Godwin23 was administered electronically to engineering students during the2018-19 academic year. This 11-item Likert scale survey which measures the interest (3-items),performance/competence (5-items) and recognition (by others) (3-items) dimensions of engineeringidentity has been validated in a later study24 as well.

Therefore, the college is constantly seeking both industrialand public partnerships in developing projects for engineering clinics. The Junior/SeniorEngineering Clinics provide students the opportunity to experience a real world project and themedium to apply and refine their engineering abilities as well as communication skills. Typicalclinic teams are composed of students with different abilities. Thus, each team possessesstudents with different skills such as surveying, drafting, transportation engineering
