The project includes summer professional development and curriculum writing workshops, paired with coaching, to allow teams of teachers to design engineering curricular units focused on science concepts, meaningful data analysis, and measurement. Each unit goes through an extensive design research

paper is based on the recommendations made by the National Science Foundation andControl Systems Society of IEEE. In light of those recommendations and issues discussed at aNSF/CSS workshop, the author raises the question of appropriate contents for a control systemcourse as taught in a typical first course ET program. Presently, the majority of electrical, somemechanical and almost all electromechanical engineering technology programs have a course intheir curriculum called control systems. Even though they carry the same name, most often theircontents are drastically different. In many programs the focus of the course is on the applicationof typical classical control. There are some programs where the whole course is aboutapplication and

instructional course has been developed as a training program primarily targetingHigher Education Institution (HEI) engineering educators to equip participants with the skillsnecessary to design and deliver high quality multi-campus programs. This course is designedwith the ongoing trend toward technology-driven education in mind [11].The training course is modular, providing unique completion pathways for course instructors,course designers, TAs, and program directors. Any course attendee may complete all moduleswith very little redundancy, resulting in approximately 12 hours of material including learningactivities. Modules for the curriculum were chosen based on author experiences and literaturereview on MCI. The objective of the course is to build

Thesedegree options were made up of a roughly equal number of credits from computer courses andnon-computer courses. The computer courses were three credit hours each and designed to offera balance between theory and application. Several of the networking and server administrationcourses included a lab section. In addition, each degree had a three credit hour capstone projectcourse in the last semester of the curriculum. Bachelor degree students had a capstone projectcourse at both the end of their sophomore and senior years.Although all of the degree options required a foundation of courses in programming, networking,web development and database

;afk12@psu.eduCurriculum summary: High school students are often overwhelmed by the proliferation of specialties available to themin the realm of engineering. It is often the approach of the instructor to lecture to the studentsdirectly, rather than allowing them to explore the areas for themselves. To meet this need, anactivity was developed to expose students to the various disciplines of engineering in aninnovative and engaging way. Students in a high school level introduction to engineering classwere given giant whiteboards headed with the various disciplines and allowed a short interval inwhich to write words or phrases with which they associated the discipline. Following theactivity, the words were collected to form word clouds, which were

The project was intended to engage andmotivate students by providing a real-world application to which they would connect the abstractconcepts of circuit analysis. The effort was a success.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by an Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne SummerInstructional Development Grant.

We believe that existing competitive games do not suffice, andwhat is needed is a competition that emphasizes the engineering of solutions to open-ended real-world problems inviting creativity and innovation. Therefore, we developed a RoboticsInnovations Competition and Conference (RICC) to build an intercollegiate and multi-disciplinary community of students, faculty, and industry promoting the education ofentrepreneurially-oriented robotics engineering students.
