Thecalculation/display options may be exercised in order to provide numbers against which studentsmay check their calculations.For their laboratory report, students perform all calculations by hand. In a subsequent laboratoryperiod, students are introduced to the process simulator, HYSYS. In an in-class activity, studentsuse HYSYS to draw a simple process flow diagram of the respiration cycle.

What isbeing presented here is how we have restructured part of our course to provide lecture contentand laboratory experiences on global warming.We are fortunate to have a course that provides the framework to accomplish this, our freshmancourse EGR 190 Fundamentals of Engineering and Computer Science (FECS).This course has been modified to include pre and post global warming perception surveys, anintroduction to global warming using the video “An Inconvenient Truth”, mini lectures onalternative energy and two lectures and labs involving solar

Architectural engineering program durations vary amongstinstitutions based on the experiential components. Some programs are designed to be completedin a traditional four-year timeline, while others, particularly those with extensive co-op orinternship components, may extend to five years or more. These variations in program durationare reflective of the emphasis placed on practical experience and industry readiness, as well asthe regional or institutional norms.

During the sophomore year the academic theme is probability and statistics. There is one case problem each semester. The first is less quantitative and uses various analytical tools, such as cause and effect diagrams, histograms, process flow charts, Pareto diagrams, and force field effects, to draw inferences from industry problem scenarios. The second occurs while they are taking statistics and involves design of an experiment and analysis of variance calculations.

When used as a classroom or laboratory demonstration, orlaboratory/project assignment, this experiment illustrates the following to the student: 1. Determination of the impact force-time record using Newton’s law. 2. Evacuation of the displacement-time record by double integration of the acceleration and enforcing proper initial conditions. 3.

It wasclear from the beginning that the students needed more than an introduction to the use of thesetwo programs to be able to conduct watershed runoff and backwater curve computations. Longerand longer periods of time were necessary to instruct the students in the use of these necessarytools. This took valuable time away from the laboratory hydraulic experiments conducted as partof the required course. At this time, the module was developed as a learning aid in the proper useof both programs: HEC-1 and HEC-RAS.

Two primary methods were utilized to achieve the goal.One method used to achieve the goal was the development of a framework of questions andactivities that were used in tandem with descriptive lab experiments to improve the studentlearning and enhance facilitation of technical writing. The framework consisted of worksheetstailored to each lab with a focus on a particular aspect of the lab report that they would be requiredto submit (e.g., methods, results, and discussion). The worksheets sought to incorporate bestpractices of teaching writing to engineers [5] including using interactive writing processes,designing meaning-making writing tasks, articulating clear writing expectations, prioritizingassignment quality over

Table 3 shows a tentative schedule of activities forthe camp.By having the summer camp, we intend to get more students interested in the Engineeringprofession. The positive experience of the high school students due to the engineering campmay turn them on to study engineering. In addition, the summer camp will make the studentsunderstand that engineering can be fun, rewarding, and beneficial to society. Table 3 Tentative Schedule of Activities for the Summer Camp

However, we also includethe topics of the radial mode propagation helical and dielectric loading of the core. This part ofthe experiment explores how a material with a higher permittivity than air can electricallylengthen an antenna causing it to operate at a lower frequency than intended by initial design. In the construction and testing phases of the helical we discuss the many engineeringchallenges that students have to overcome in order to make their antennas

Design creativity and understanding and using science and mathematics in designanalysis are important elements of technology education. These same elements characterize engineering. Manyengineering schools have developed “pipeline” activities to increase engineering enrollment and interest inengineering, however this does not address the larger issue of technological and scientific illiteracy of students.Support of technology education offers an opportunity to address this issue in a modest yet significant manner.Technology education offers a way for students to understand the abstract

We developed an affordable multi-courseelectronics kit by condensing three current hardware kits in the Circuit Analysis, Mechatronics,and Design Methodology courses. By removing redundant components and replacing expensiveparts with cheaper alternatives, we reduced the cost of the condensed kit by approximately 30%compared to purchasing the three course-specific kits. To support the kit usage, we created anonline repository with electronic safety, microcontroller tutorials, basic hardware and softwareinstruction, and coding examples. We developed a pre

The purpose of the project is to give students an opportunity todesign a mechanism without having to build a physical prototype, and to familiarize them withmechanism simulation software. Generally students have no previous experience using thissoftware. Therefore, one lecture session is set aside for students to be introduced to the software.Each project is designed such that it is difficult to solve analytically, thereby forcing the student toexplore the software while trying to solve the project.
