In their first few meetings together, theeducation faculty began learning about ABET2000 A-K, and the engineering faculty received acrash course on the intricacies of teacher licensure regulations. The engineering faculty learnedof the new Standards for Technological Literacy1, developed by the International TechnologyEducation Association and reviewed/endorsed by the National Academy of Engineering. Theeducation faculty, in turn, learned of the innovative engineering design activities that the EngEfaculty were implementing in their first year curriculum, which were similar in nature to thosecommonly used in secondary level Technology Education programs.

h7 127 Btu/lbConclusionsA relatively low cost affordable educational air-conditioning and refrigeration trainer unit wasdeveloped to assist students in the mechanical engineering technology program applythermodynamic relations and heat transfer principles in an active learning environment. The unitwas developed to allow pressure and temperature reading which would allow the determinationof actual performance of the unit and the efficiency when using the power consumed by the unit.Compared to commercially available similar models, the developed unit provides a veryattractive tool for educators especially when funding is limited as it provides a similareducational unit with an approximate cost that is 5-10 times less.Several

WhyIntroductionEducational technologies have been heralded as a mechanism for engaging greater numbers ofstudents, whether traditional students, non-traditional, or working professionals. Educators havecome to realize that far too often course content is presented in a manner that appeals to a limitedgroup of learners. As a result, many students perform poorly and lose interest in the contentareas. While trade publications and some professional journals glorify examples of successfuluse of technology, we are all aware of spectacular failures.Through several grant programs extending over the past five years, the College of Engineering atthe University of Cincinnati, has prepared, presented, and evaluated content using variouseducational technologies.

Firstly, this paperdiscusses the different aspects of the capstone design projects in universities in China.Secondly, it addresses some of the characteristics of the capstone design projects inuniversities in the United States. Thirdly, differences and similarities of capstone projectcourses between universities in China and US are analyzed, and strengths andweaknesses of these two systems are addressed. Finally, suggestions for improving theeffectiveness and quality of capstone design project courses are presented.IntroductionThe capstone project course is an intrinsic part of the undergraduate education. Thecapstone projects are widely regarded as an excellent mechanism for assessing theoutcomes of engineering and technology programs

Poorly designed user interfaces (UIs) that inhibitour ability to function efficiently and effectively in our everyday lives detract from the userexperience (UX) and are also costly to companies.

Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Using Computer Animations in Teaching Statics ConceptsAbstractIn many institutions, Statics is one of the first purely technical courses that most engineering andengineering technology students encounter. This places a considerable burden on the courseinstructor to present engineering concepts in a way that will not only enhance learning, but alsoattract and retain the interest of students who are looking into pursuing engineering relatedcareers. If not well presented, the Statics course can be an intimidating experience thatdiscourages learning. This intellectually demanding course is frequently taught in a lectureformat that makes it difficult for students to make the connection between the

Education, 2009 Use of a Low-Cost Camera-Based Positioning System In a First-Year Engineering Cornerstone Design ProjectAbstractAlthough the concept of autonomous robot design projects has existed in engineering educationfor years as a tool for giving engineering students hands-on experience, in practice, the autonomyof these projects has been limited due to cost. Student programmers participating in theseprojects often have limited ways to interact with their environment autonomously, relying onlow-cost sensors such as touch sensors instead of interacting with a high-cost camera-basedpositioning system. This not only limits the autonomy of the robot, but robs the student ofvaluable design and programming experience

For example, a UCD perspective ondesigning for students would entail early focus on the needs, prior
