There are many positive implications of internet-based learning suchas a means to interactively present and disseminate curricula through courseworkmanagement tools such as Blackboard. It also promotes collaboration and continuingeducation for full time employees, i.e. “learning anywhere, anytime.” 1 Students areencouraged to expand their knowledge of the material being taught through media,images, animation and streaming audio/video.Internet-based engineering education is an accepted practice throughout the United Statesand abroad.

By investing in the research infrastructure in engineeringeducation we can 1) advance the scholarship in teaching and learning and strengthen its capacity;2) build coherence and rigor within the community; 3) assist collaborative and interdisciplinaryresearch as well as relationships between practitioners and researchers; 4) promote professionaldevelopment of current and future faculty; and 5) facilitate distributed cognition within acommunity of practice2,3. Given this motivation, a researchable question is how to proceed tomeet this need: “how do we build capacity in engineering education research?”Strategies for building capacity are often linked to community of practice

Education Training (TVET)is considered a driving force in changing the status quo. Additionally, in order to improve thequality and relevance of engineering education, the government needs to enable industrialpolicies, pursue university-industry collaborations, as well as encourage regional accreditationand training initiatives. In order to achieve some tangible outcomes, proper assessment andplanning is needed. Rwanda, Mozambique, and Ethiopia are among those African countries whohave already developed their human resources plans after properly evaluating their skills needs.It is worth mentioning that developing those plans requires authentic national data oninstitutional output, employment rate, and inter-institutional collaboration (World Bank

IntroductionThis paper describes a NASA-UMES collaborative project primarily involving passiveremote sensing experiments using reflectance patterns in the visible region of theelectromagnetic spectrum. Color and monochrome cameras mounted on a payloadstructure (gondola) attached to a tethered blimp are used to transmit remote images fromthe blimp as it ascends to pre-determined height above the ground. The images capturedby the remote cameras have
challenges listedare: • the alignment between governments and universities in their priorities and vision for engineering education; • the challenge of delivering high-quality, student-centered education to large and diverse student cohorts; • the siloed nature of many engineering schools and universities that inhibits collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning; • faculty appointment, promotion and tenure systems that reinforce an academic culture that does not appropriately prioritize and reward teaching excellence.Now that we have seen a summary of what Education 4.0 ought to look like and what some ofthe challenges for implementing transformation are, we will consider some

To address the most pressingproblems of the modern world, engineers need to associate with various other disciplines. Theywould have to apply a whole range of professional skills, including leadership, communication,interpersonal relationships, and decision-making. In the post-pandemic world, engineers willhave an opportunity to exercise the new digital paradigm for engineering education. In the digitalmode, the brick wall of the classrooms does not confine engineers. Engineers can be given real-world problems for which they will have to collaborate with people from

In this paper we report on focus group and exit surveyfindings from the JEE Mentored Reviewer Program and discuss revisions to the program inresponse to those findings.IntroductionPeer review of scholarship is critical to the advancement of knowledge in a scholarly discipline.Academia relies heavily on peer review, with nearly every facet of academic work

While itis a well-accepted practice in business and industry, military and government, its use is becomingincreasingly common in academia.4 The systematic procedures used in the design makes theinstruction more effective, efficient and relevant compared to other less stringent approaches ofinstructional planning.20 Collaborative design teams of engineers and educators working todevelop engineering education materials are uncommon.19 The promising instructional designstrategies outlined here could be generalized and applied to other engineering domains to helpengage freshman students and achieve expected learning objectives.
