Many of these trends are encouraging.Positive trendsThe authors have found the following positive trends in the entering students. 1. Students have an increased awareness of Engineering and its importance in society. 2. Students show an increased familiarity with the computer and the Internet. 3. Students are more uninhibited than in previous generations. 4. Students are now more used to

astudent arrives with prior acknowledgement of desiring a degree in engineering and has begun to embracecourses towards their discipline area. In this situation, students are expected to focus less on determiningwhat the different engineering disciplines are and instead focus more on experiencing what engineering islike [11].Since this course is generally only taken by students already in engineering, the purpose ofencouraging a conceptual design experience is to retain more students in their respective discipline fields,or at least within engineering.Table 1.

Portfolios are a means to document and communicate student workfor faculty review and student outcomes assessment. The process of creating a portfolio alsogives students the opportunity to reflect on their academic program. The portfolio is submittedelectronically, typically as a link to a web site designed by the student. The main elements of aportfolio used for assessment by the portfolio review committee are: 1.

Student-centered strategies, activeparticipation of all parties – students, faculty and administrators – and clearly defined outcomesare promising approaches in teaching new materials [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. Research has also shownthat competitions can be used as effective student-centered learning method [1].

This was a practice-oriented, part-time graduate program that combinesboth engineering and business. It was devoted to the management of technically competitiveproducts for the 21st Century. The program emphasized integrated product development, projectmanagement, manufacturing and total quality.Currently the goals of the EAPM program are: (1) to teach product design, manufacturing andteamwork, (2) to provide the integrated skills that will advance the careers of our students, (3) tooffer a dynamic, industry-relevant graduate program.

IntroductionTop Hat is one of many services that enable instructors to poll students in the classroom withquestions; students provide answers via their smartphones, and the instructor can display theclass’s responses for everyone to see. Typically these questions are technical / educational innature, such as conceptual quizzes on course content. However, the author has recentlyresearched the use of these services toward improving the student-teacher relationship throughasking questions unrelated to coursework, specifically trivia questions about the instructor’spersonal life (e.g. the music or games they enjoy) [1]; it was found in this prior work thatstudents were delighted by these “Instructor Trivia” questions and appreciated the

Theseprograms are designed to help with the transition from high school to a university engineeringprogram and to introduce students to their major. More than half of accredited engineeringprograms operate with a direct matriculation model, with students entering directly into theirintended discipline, while about one-third have a general admission program, admitting studentsinto a general engineering program, where they will matriculate to their desired major after asemester or two [1].

However,students benefit from intentional interactions with professionals in their area of study [1].Informational interviews, site visits [2], industry-sponsored projects [3], and adjunct instructorsfrom industry [4] all provide educational advantages within the context of an engineeringcurriculum. Each of these can require a great deal of time on the part of the industry liaison ornecessitate curricular changes. Another common tactic is to bring in a guest lecturer for a singleclass session to give a talk on her specialty or to tie class material to industry. This is a fairlycommon practice and relatively easy to schedule because one
