Additionally, 80% (n=4) felt their provider may have missedsomething on the physical assessment due to lack of peripheral use. All five of these participantswere not confident that their internet connection was sufficient during the visit and 80% (n=4)were not confident their provider knew what to do in case of an emergency during the telehealthvisit.

Addressing technological issues, ranging from formulation and implementation ofenergy policies to telecommunications, is the mission of our 1.5 million engineers. To educatethe public in technological literacy and provide them with essential information about technologyrequires a new look at our efforts in undergraduate education. As engineering

In this method the newknowledge is shared among all teams in a form of a short presentation by the instructor. Thisprovides the instructor with an opportunity to further clarify student misunderstandings andmisinterpretation associated with the problem and the newly acquired information.Use of technology can further simplify the APDT implementation and enhance studentexperience. In particular, in one scenario, students and the instructor each will have Tablet PCswith collaborative, interactive teaching tool such as Dyknow vision in a networked environment.In this, often wireless, networked environment, the Instructor’s display is broadcasts to

MATECspearheaded this effort by providing leadership and coordination of the developmentactivities as well as a web forum for file and information exchange and a repository forthe FHAMS curriculum as it was developed. MATEC also hosted a pilot group meetingat its annual conference each July from 2004-2006. Additionally, they offered aprofessional development workshop at each of these conferences that specificallysupported the technology of the HAS 200.

Session 2547 Overcoming Problems in Mechanical Engineering Technology Education through Innovative Projects Saeed D. Foroudastan, Ph.D., Associate Professor Engineering Technology and Industrial Studies Department Middle Tennessee State UniversityAbstractTwo of the biggest problems facing mechanical engineering technology programs areretaining freshmen students and adequately preparing graduating seniors for the realworld. The reasons for these problems are simple. Freshmen students often becomefrustrated early in their college careers because they have to take so many classes yet
their employees to be knowledgeable in a wide range of advanced technologies in addition totheir areas of expertise. Such a trend is becoming common as the industrial practices continue tochange using new technologies. Fewer employees must do more tasks in small businesses, whichhave emerged in record numbers due to downsizing and closures. A recent survey conducted bythe SUNY Institute of Technology shows that there is a pressing need for graduate programswhich combine economic and technological perspectives in an interdisciplinary format. Oursurvey also indicated that both recent graduates of undergraduate degree programs, andtechnology professionals preparing themselves for leadership positions within their respectivefields, require current
aprogram.Criterion 3 – Student Outcomes Currently the exact name of Criterion 3 is “Program Outcomes.” The proposed name change is“Student3 Outcomes.” ABET defines4 Program (Student) Outcomes as follows: “Each program must demonstrate that graduates have: a. an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of their disciplines b. an ability to apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology c. an ability to conduct, analyze and interpret experiments, and apply experimental results to improve processes d. an ability to apply creativity in the design of systems, components, or processes appropriate
, where technology is ubiquitous and encompasses all our daily activities,it is highly important to raise awareness of significant career opportunities in technology. It isalso worthy of note that technology is nowadays present also in many traditionallynontechnical professions. Thus, when informing young people about career options, open-minded and innovative approaches are required, providing examples of inspiring role modelsand various career paths in technology. This is especially important when addressing well-performing postmodern young women [5], for whom self-expression, finding intrinsicallyfulfilling jobs, establishing a meaningful career, and ultimately, finding sense of purpose inlife are particularly important but who consider

Seventy-six unique instructors have usedclickers in their classrooms at any given time, and more than 49% of the student body nowcarries a clicker that can be used for multiple classes.11 The steady growth in the number ofclicker courses and instructors since 2005 is shown in Figure 1. 45 45 courses

Further, the freedom to explore additional query optionsand related capabilities makes the draw even stronger. Finally, again, deans may haveadditional related fields and reports they need added to the system.

It will also outline approaches to improving deans’ and chairs’software support for these activities.AIM Program Description“AIM
meet the new challenges created by emerging technologies in every nation. Educationalinstitutions are looking for ways to reach students when faced with increased competitions,shifting demographics, and delivering education to isolated areas. One way this problem hasbeen tackled is through communications technologies as a mean to enhance flexible delivery andstudent learning on-line. As Internet has become a way of life, web-based educational coursemanagement systems have become popular.WebCT, BlackBoard, and ANGEL are among few popular learning web-based tools. These toolsenable faculty to post documents and files, securely post grades, track students’ activities,interact with their students through e-mail and instant messaging. In addition
well as the methodologies used to create thecurriculum and course offerings. It will also document what procedures worked well in theprocess and what did not. A unique feature of the process is obtaining input from both universityfaculty and industry professionals as to the learning outcomes/levels that program should attemptto achieve. This therefore, would maximize the student’s opportunities upon graduation byproviding them options to either continue their education at a Baccalaureate degree level or enterthe workforce with employable skills. By following the methods used in developing thisengineering technology program, it is hoped that other institutions can implement the start up ofnew and emerging engineering technology programs with
[9, 10, 11, 12, 13]. This discrepancy is particularly evident inSTEM and the burgeoning field of transdisciplinary startups like biotechnology, whereinterdisciplinary knowledge is increasingly crucial. Consequently, emerging entrepreneurs inthese sectors frequently face obstacles in accessing adequate support, a challenge that persistsinto the 21st century amid fierce global competition for innovation leadership.Recognizing this trend, Congress authorized eligible agencies under the SBIR/STTRReauthorization Act of 2011 to allocate 3% of their small business grant budget to supportunderserved groups [2]. Consequently, several other agencies began utilizing this fund to reachout to those communities.To maintain its position as a global leader
variousrepresentations available, between what is mathematically different and what is mathematicallyrelevant. “This condition is particularly strong when cognitive representations are linguistic orvisual, and not only symbolic”4.Moreno-Armella, Hegedus and Kaput5 establish that generalization and symbolization are twokey elements in mathematical reasoning, associated very closely with one another. To generalize,that is, to establish a statement that can be applied to multiple instances, we can try to create aunifying expression, treating all situations as one and the same. But this expression requires asymbolic structure, a way to unify multiplicity; in this sense, symbolism is a supporting elementin generalization.Using technology to trigger the emergence of
