LEARNING THROUGH A COLLEGE BASED TUTORING PROGRAMAbstractTechnology and technology education changes by the hour making it extremely difficult foruniversity and college instructors and professors stay current on the latest advances in the field,preparing course materials and delivering lectures. It is equally difficult for the students to keepup with this information and they are often left without the opportunity to engage in additionalinteraction that they might need to understand the materials and successfully complete thecourse. Professors have office hours however, this time is limited and that time is rarely adequateleaving the student without the resources he or she might need.In order to address this need, the College of

This technology guarantees the information, which is sent out orreceived by Flashcom, to pass through the firewall without missing data.Another advantage of Flashcom is its ability to pass only the changed data to the clients.

However, concerns have been raised about the current education system's ability toproduce engineers equipped to meet the rapidly growing demands of a global, dynamicworkplace and the evolving nature of engineering work [1]. While educational technologies(EdTech) are powerful tools for transforming learning and improving educational outcomes, theplentitude of EdTech poses challenges for effective adoption in engineering classroom settings.In addition, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing(NLP) are accelerating the development of new EdTech tools, increasing the burden on educatorsfor evaluating and

Furthermore, we have developed and described some useful strategiesfor overcoming these challenges.BackgroundIn recent years, educators have enthusiastically embraced the use of individual student responsedevices (“clickers”) to incorporate more active learning into the higher education setting.Relatively inexpensive and easy to use, these classroom communication devices allow forindividual student metacognition and real-time formative assessment even in very large classes.Much anecdotal evidence and a growing body of emerging data indicate that the use of

Each of these has been closelyexamined in book-length studies. Thus, our treatment here will necessarily be brief but essentialto avoid the mistakes of paternalism outlined so well in Easterly’s The White Man’s Burden.Next, we examine how two issues central to RCR (Responsible Conduct of Research), avoidingpaternalism and facilitating informed consent, transfer to this context of appropriate technology,but with

The initial design of two distinct learning experiences emerged in the spring of2014. Their purpose was to examine real-world open-ended problems from different lenses. A“Seminar” experience would address the problem from a cultural and societal lens while a“Design Studio” experience would examine the problem from a science and technologyperspective.

Both had prior experience teaching freshmen at other institutions, and were chosenbased on their positive record of teaching and mentoring students. Retention of new students inthe program was an additional goal with the choice of these faculty members.The Initial SurveyDuring the first class meeting of ETGR 1100, Engineering Technology Computer Applications,students were given an informal survey. They were asked to rank their level of proficiency invarious computer applications on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most proficient. Thepurpose of the survey was to determine the
