However,free-riding, uneven effort distribution and misreporting remain endemic in group assignments,undermining fairness in grading and learning outcomes. Traditional peer-evaluation andcalibration meetings are vulnerable to bias

Electrical,Mechanical, Civil, Software Engineers and even those experts outside of the engineering fieldshould collaborate to produce quality designs and solutions for the Future. With these newelements and demands in the engineering field, engineers are expected to behave likemultipurpose tools.

higher education points to the following root causes: 1) Lack of widespreadunderstanding of these disciplines among the general public4, 2) dry, abstract, and non-related toreal world approaches to teaching math, science and engineering courses, 3) low level ofproficiency in mathematics and science for the freshman5, 4) high attrition rate due to poorperformance during the freshman year 6, which creates a negative influence in the average highschool student.In recognition of the need to reverse this trend, and even more to transform engineeringeducation according to the economical, technological and societal challenges of the 21st century,engineering educators have initiated and documented several initiatives.

Research further shows that minority students learn better when there is interaction between their experiences and their ideas [13]. More specifically, Hispanic students learn more effectively in collaborative environments that encourage team-based projects [14]. Thus, the experience-based model used in the program, with a lab-intensive curriculum that emphasizes real-world projects, we are serving minority students in engineering. III.

the big picture and integrating diverse perspectives, including technical, social, economic, environmental, and political aspects, to understand and solve energy-related challenges comprehensively. • Integrated energy education suggests combining different disciplines or areas of study into a single, cohesive program or curriculum. It strives to remove traditional academic silos and bring together various fields such as engineering, economics, environmental science, and policy, creating a unified educational experience that promotes collaboration and interconnected thinking. • Interdisciplinary energy education highlights the crossing and blending of multiple disciplines to address energy

Engineering Education from an Industry Perspective Chitralekha Potnis, Ajit Potnis The Learning Institute / T I AutomotiveAbstractDevelopment of a country to a large extent depends on the progress made in science andtechnology. It has been widely accepted that industrialization is one of the major tools whichshapes national destiny. The qualitative and quantitative improvement in the industrial status of anation is strongly based on the quality of engineering education.Technical education must be suited to the development in economy, science and technology, andculture of the country and it plays a vital role in promoting their development. Due todevelopment of higher
even when it is not required.In the case of engineering education for 2020, many of the educational objectives discussedabove would need collaborating partners to realize them. For instance, offering engineeringprograms at a distance is the need of the day. Very few engineering programs are offered at adistance currently. One of the main difficulties in offering engineering programs, especiallyundergraduate programs, is the difficulty in offering hands-on experience at a distance. Whilesimulation and other technology based efforts are being tried, they are not an ideal substitute forreal-world, hands-on training. But this problem could be solved effectively by entering intocollaborative arrangements with local institutions in other countries

efficiency upon our energy needs for thebetter. Engineering students shown an emerging field may have more of an opportunity tocontribute in their career, and a dedicated study for this would be a welcome contribution. Theauthors encourage incorporating a new field like that of energy harvesting into the classroom andlab. The collaborative sharing of information for educational purposes is mutually beneficial toall parties. An organized introduction to a new field can be very beneficial in the learningprocess and lead to more contribution to the field and satisfaction by the participants. Theoverview of energy harvesting presented in this paper is a start and the material could bedeveloped and matured into a dynamic and long-lasting learning module
Standards Institute (ANSI), in collaboration with other national organizations, hasdeveloped the United States Standards Strategy (USSS) that states that simple familiarity withstandards is not enough but that there is need for firm education on the fundamentals of standardsand their respective implementation.1It is widely recognized that engineering students do not get much exposure to standards while inschool.2-4 Through a study done in 2004, it was revealed that standards education was notconsidered a priority at the institutions surveyed.5 However, employers have expectations thatnew hires have knowledge of standards and their applications.3,4Additionally, many standards developing organizations (SDO) encounter difficulties inrecruiting the
