makerspaces in engineering education.introductionMakerspaces have grown over the last few years as public awareness of the maker movement hasincreased. Makerspaces are open to the public as community design studios that cultivatecreative and technology-based projects alike. Fabrication labs and makerspaces serve ascollective organizations that help facilitate design and prototyping for individuals that may nothave access to that equipment or material outside of that physical location. In engineeringeducation, there is a vast amount of research on the use of design-based principles to enrichengineering education in the form of design projects, design competitions, and capstone courses.Makerspaces are environments in which design takes place, yet, the

. Currently, systems thinking is time-consuming for instructors to assessmanually. This work reports on the use of automated assessment. The study was conducted withintroduction to engineering students and students in a technological literacy course for non-engineers. In the class activities, students are asked to create system diagrams of commonappliances. Evaluation by an instructor was compared with automated assessment using both theSimilarity Flooding and Graph Edit Distance algorithmic methods. The automated assessmentcompares favorably with the by-hand evaluation of student diagrams by the instructor and furtherimprovements are anticipated. Automated instructional aids will become increasingly importantin higher education. Systems thinking is

Insome countries the term technologist is used in preference to engineer or engineering inpolicy documents.The term technology has a specific meaning in U.S. engineering education that it does nothave in other countries.World-wide developments in school technology and technological literacy programmes donot necessarily convey what engineering is to either the participating students or the public atlarge. Hence the importance of the distinction between technological and engineering literacymade by Krupczak and his colleagues.

For example, in a survey of Pharmacyschools, students reported that all of the respondents used some sort of course managementsystem, such as Blackboard. In addition, a majority of institutions reported using some sort oftechnology to present information to, actively engage, and assess students.11 Other studies haveexamined students’ experiences with course management systemse.g., 12 or how Tablet PC’s inclasses might effectively promote an engaged, active learning environmente.g., 13.

Session 1793 Learning by Teaching in Engineering Technology Education Rex N. Fisher Brigham Young University – IdahoAbstractEngineering technology professors usually receive little or no training in effective teachingmethods. Most of them teach the same, ineffective way they were taught—by lecturing. Thispaper examines a method that can be used to actively engage students in their own learning:“learning by teaching.” A sophomore-level electronics engineering technology course wasconducted so that most of the material was taught by the students themselves. They presentedthe material and evaluated each other’s mastery

It is easy to become confused by this because the convergence process may cover vast timeperiods. For example, we have had communication technologies such as text and graphics formany centuries, but newer electronic communications technologies such as radio, telephone, andtelevision have existed for only a few decades. All of these technologies have recentlyconverged through digital technology into a single hand-held device, and their descriptivevocabularies have become intermixed.

This paper studies different approachesthat are used by different institutions of higher education to integrate nanotechnology conceptsinto their curriculum.IntroductionNanotechnology is the science, engineering, and technology that deals with various structures ofmatter that have dimensions on the order of a billionth of a meter. Nanotechnology is the abilityto observe, manipulate, measure, and manufacture things at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to100 nanometers. While the word nanotechnology is new and was introduced in the late 1970s,the existence of functional devices and

More recently, there has been interest in the use of slate enabled devices, such as tabletPCs and iPads, and their impact on engagement and learning. There is also instructionaltechnology software, such as DyKnow Vision, that is designed to facilitate collaborativelearning.

Currently, the degree has a single focus area in Mechatronics,preparing students for careers in the design, development, implementation and support ofelectromechanical systems that are controlled through embedded hardware and software. The MXET degree is now being expanded to include new additional focus areas. The firstone of these areas is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) TeacherPreparation. In collaboration with the College of Education, a MXET focus area is beingcustomized to produce graduates who can sit for their Mathematics/Science/Engineeringcertification and who can teach at the

Field trips to industries allow the students to appreciate the relevance ofthe technologies discussed in class and to experience their application in industry. Students areable to discuss with employment opportunities with employers and to find out from operatorstheir experiences in working with specific equipments and to glean additional knowledge aboutthe equipment.
