A lab section starts in a common team and later separates into lab groups operating within private channels. The instructor can download an attendance spreadsheet from the common team at the start of the lab period and later complete an icon checkoff within each team’s private channel shortly after large group dismissal—both for attendance purposes and to quickly assess whether any temporary team reassignments are needed due to absences.3. Each team is expected to screenshare its simulator within Microsoft Teams [to enable instructor monitoring], even if

,“How can we teach innovation?” Duval-Couetil and Dyrenfurth [8] analyzed eight dedicatedinnovation programs, some of which focused directly on engineering students. They identifiednine distinct categories of program-level learning objectives, including (1) creativity, (2)problem solving, (3) context/environment, (4) communication, (5) innovation process, (6)interdisciplinary team skills, (7) professional and preparation, (8) leadership, and (9) experientiallearning. While these objectives were largely variable, the programs evidenced many commontheories, approaches, methods, and tools for enhancing innovation. In brief, this suggests that“teaching innovation” is a multi-faceted endeavor. Even more, it suggests that an explicit focuson
. government sciences and technology programs have been dominated by two overriding concerns: basic research and support for specific national missions, such as national security and health. Largely as a result of this concentrated federal effort, American science has enjoyed an era of unprecedented excellence … In many ways, the federal government has failed to adapt its policies to the new, market-driven model of innovation. Considerable evidence suggests that America is failing to commercialize the kinds and quality of technology that the market demands.”8) U.S. industry must rebuild its in-house innovative engineering capacity and its leadership capacity to stimulate technological innovation to sustain economic competitiveness for
integrity at the university level. The authors first present a case study of aconcerted effort to hold students accountable to a high standard and cultivate a culture of integrityand honor. This effort was initiated by the principal investigator within the Engineering programat East Carolina University in the spring semester of 2014. The program’s core mechanics ofmaterials class is at the epicenter of the effort. It is a required course for all students in the program,and it is the first engineering course in the typical sequence requiring rigorous formal laboratoryreports. At the outset, casting a fine net for plagiarism of all sorts brought many students into theacademic integrity process who were not accustomed to being considered cheaters. In

Simulations and virtual tours let your students see and try things thatare too small, too far away, too expensive, or too dangerous to experience physically. However,undergraduates will rarely think deeply about a simulation or virtual tour if they are just sent to“try it”. It is important to decide what you want students to learn from the tour or simulation, Page 10.910.5then guide them to and assess that learning objective by
engineering literacy applications. Visual aids prepared using thisformat are largely able to meet the requirements that have been outlined regarding the needs oftechnological and engineering literacy visual aids. The diagram format is based on the techniqueof functional analysis frequently used as a formal design methodology in engineering productdevelopment. The technique is modified to include additions helpful in describing existingtechnological systems as opposed to creating new designs. Some aspects of development havebeen described in an earlier work8.Functional AnalysisSince functional analysis serves as the basis of the technique reported here, a brief summary offunctional analysis is included. Functional analysis is a method used in
and 3D computer models. However, few classes were usingnumerical simulation models in teaching at that time. PE faculty members continued using traditional teachingmethods, such as backboard and PowerPoint presentations including graphs and sketches. In 21 century, tremendouschanges have been made in teaching PE classes. Almost every petroleum engineering program started developing andusing laboratories to conduct experiments that help students’ attainment of course objectives, such as core, fluid, anddrilling labs. Since 2014, Bob L. Held department of petroleum engineering has adopted the use of visualizationmodels in teaching. More than seven lab-scale models were built and used in multiple PE classes.

workshops have replaced 8of 42 lecture periods. The workshops engage small teams of students in hands-on learningexperiences. For instance, the first workshop requires student teams to start from a general formof the 1st Law of Thermodynamics and obtain a proper reduced energy statement for a commonhousehold device such as a bicycle pump or a hair dryer. Other workshops are more rigorousand include data-reduction, graphing, analysis, and design activities. Good teamwork andcommunication are essential elements in the workshops. Some workshops require the studentteams to present and explain their results to the class thereby allowing the students to learn fromeach other. Thus far, workshops have been piloted in two Summer 98 sections and used in

The sample size for first-yearstudents was too small (n=3) for a meaningful analysis, and fourth-year students (n=39) did notshow a significant difference between pre- (mean 1.15) and post-survey (mean 1.35) responses.CE1412 (n=16) did show a significant difference between pre- (mean 1.25) and post-survey(mean 2.00) mean responses for Q5, while CE1610 (n=11), CE1420 (n=9), ME0040 (n=16), andME1053 (n=17) did not. Other courses were not analyzed due to the small sample size.DiscussionOverall, students at this campus did not expect the sudden change to an online learningenvironment to be effective.

were assigned to teams of four to five students during the third week of the 16-weeksemester, using the Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME)Team-Maker tool [22]. Team creation attempted to maximize diversity while ensuring thatdiverse students were not isolated on a team (e.g., avoiding a single female on an otherwise allmale team).Students in the course had access to an open engineering laboratory (OEL), a large workspacewhere they could work on their projects. On average, 50 students worked in the OEL at any onetime. However, it was observed that at times up to150 students could be in the OEL working.Located in the OEL were, several tables, computers, supplies, and materials to be used for theproject, and a computer

thecomplexities of education, particularly in relation to digital practices and technologies [11]. Theteacher's role in a MOOC differs significantly from that of a traditional educational setting,where the teacher can interact with students through selecting, tutoring, and assessing individualwork. In MOOCs, with their large enrollment and limited instructor presence, the teacher's role isprimarily focused on designing and organizing the course, offering general guidance and support,and facilitating peer-to-peer interactions [12]. Online educators face the challenge of determiningthe most efficient course designs and teaching methods that can engage students in meaningful,stimulating, and productive learning experiences [13].This study uses a blended
population of 3715 (the number of College of Engineering graduates for 2005-2007),in terms of GPA. The results indicate a significant difference, with one-sample t(796)=2.911,p<0.05. However, the mean difference is very small (3.14 for population, 3.20 for total sample),and statistical significance was likely impacted by the large sample size. One-sample t-testswere also used to determine if each of the groups was significantly different to the wholepopulation, in terms of GPA. The GPA for Group A was significantly different from that of thepopulation, but the GPAs for groups B and C were not. An analysis of variance (ANOVA)indicated that there were no statistically significant differences (F(2,735)=2.023, p=0.133)among the GPAs for groups A, B

In order to give the search and rescue team as accurate information as possible, he immediately contacts a second ranger who can also see the plane. At the same time they both take bearings on the plane in order to calculuate its exact position. The first ranger is located at (0,0,6800) and sights the plane at 42o south of east and 11.5o above the horizon. The second ranger is located at (17321, 10000, 7600) and sight the plane at 58o south of west and 3.4o above the horizon. Three minutes later, they both take a second

Solving a problem usingcomputational thinking involves solving a larger complex problem by breaking it into smallerparts. In this project, the problem of developing an iPad application (small-screen application)was solved by performing smaller computational thinking activities.Computing deals with the study of computers and the way they are programmed. Computerscience emphasizes computational concepts and the problems associated with them.
