During this time, the concept of the “lecture-lab”venue was conceived and utilized in the development of an Industrial Control Systems cadre ofcourses. Until this time, no such educational venue had existed at Northeastern. In order todevelop such a new and innovative program concept, resources would be needed that wereextremely expensive and well out of the reach of normal department budgets. In order to acquirethe appropriate resources necessary to realize such a new program, corporate sponsors would beneeded to assist in this matter. Major well-known corporate industrial control systemscomponent manufacturers were approached for resource support for this program. Since theinitial concept

The objective of this paper is tointroduce an expert system that engineering students can use to select methods whileunderstanding the reasoning mechanism as part of their educational process.2 Background of the Expert System2.1 Design EducationDesign skills can be divided into three levels, 1) design science, 2) design process, and 3) designinnovation1. Engineering curriculum mostly focuses in technical and analytical tools (level 1)including the design process knowledge (level 2) as in senior or capstone design. Designinnovation (level 3) is seldom taught since traditional engineering

However, with our open-ended course structure these changes do not affect thecourse and are not driven by external factors like in other courses. The changes that occur to thiscourse and its projects stem from the idea of furthering the student’s education byaccommodating their interests, and ensuring a constant stream of growth.Course ProjectsMidterm ProjectThe aforementioned midterm project, a meteorite shield, serves a similar purpose as the finalproject. Though this project also requires design, teamwork, and manufacturing, this projectfocuses more on student interest and engagement. A part of our unique department curriculum isour involvement and availability to work

However, despite the balance they findbetween work life, home life and school, online programs also present their own set ofweaknesses which may limit the overall effectiveness of their efforts.WeaknessesAccording the administered small survey of graduate administrators, the weaknesses of an onlinegraduate program, may prove cumbersome, but are currently manageable. One such weakness isthe effort it takes to convey to the public that online programs are of equal educational quality asface-to-face programs. Communicating this message may be especially difficult with non-regionalized prospective distance education students. “I am concerned with the term online learning

relationship of engineering education tothe larger system from many different perspectives, I adopt a philosophical perspective. Thereason for approaching this problem from philosophy is that these discussions—the purpose,meaning, influence, and value of engineering education as it intersects the larger system—are atthis time conceptually imprecise. An assertion of the paper is that we currently lack a shared,meaningful conceptual ontology to discuss such issues which may cause us to “talk around eachother” in our attempts to rethink engineering education. Philosophy provides a method to gatherand translate these concepts, then begin to understand their claims and limits of these claims.This manuscript focuses on how engineering is defined for the

” engineeringcourses throughout their entire engineering curriculum represents a new “authentic-learning”approach toward teaching engineering to students. Medical Schools and Law Schoolspredominantly use authentic learning, or experiential learning, techniques to teach our futuredoctors and lawyers.3 Engineering education has been slow to follow their lead in this regard,basing almost all instruction on lecture-based and laboratory-based teaching methodologies,rather than authentic learning methodologies. However, in the Spring semester of 2010, aneducational initiative was begun to determine the value of integrating semester-long, Project-Based Design Streams (PBDSs) into the entire electrical engineering curriculum. Due to theexceptional response by the
technology-basedmodules provided, on one hand, more expertise-based activities for students2 and, on the other Page 15.1034.2hand, moved some of the delivery of the content outside the classroom3.However, very often the technology-driven solutions, as the ones previously mentioned, tend tofocus on how the strengths of chosen technology can improve very specific instructional tasks.This focus on specific instructional tasks does not answer instructor’s need to restructure theinstructional process at the discipline and curriculum levels to include the additional steppreviously mentioned.
