The curriculum ofETAC programs must include “topics related to professional responsibilities, ethicalresponsibilities, respect for diversity, and quality and continuous improvement.” These curricularcomponents are further clarified with the ABET Policy on Diversity [4]. This statementencourages a commitment to “diversity and inclusion through developing and using the talents ofall persons.” With these guidelines in mind, engineering technology educators are encouraged topromote student

Analyzing Successful Teaching Practices in Middle School Science and Math Classrooms when using Robotics (Fundamental)1. IntroductionIntegration of robotics technology as a pedagogical tool in science, technology, engineering, andmath (STEM) education is recognized to have the potential to enhance student engagement [1,2]and learning outcomes [1,3]. A curriculum infused with robotics-based learning activities offersnumerous opportunities to enrich STEM education for students (e.g., through problem-solving[1,2,4], service learning [2], social interaction [5], teamwork [3,4], etc.) and it enables teachers tointegrate engineering [1—5], computing [1—5], inquiry [1], and projects [4,5] into science andmath education.

definition1 It should be noted that in the following discussion, the authors have chosen to use the language ‘an area ofconcern,’ ‘an area of research,’ as well as ‘an area of solution.’ Although cumbersome, it is believed that to directattention to one single concern, research platform, or solution, would undermine the acknowledgement of thesystemic nature of such circumstances, distill complex issues, and narrow the focus of educational outreachpersonnel to the detriment of the investigation. By ensuring that, at each step of inquiry, educational outreachpersonnel are reminded to assess ‘an area of…,’ the potential for successful investigation and application ofinitiatives is increased.

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Leveraging Building Information Modeling Technology in Construction Engineering and Management EducationAbstractEmerging technologies and practices such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and VirtualDesign and Construction (VDC) have the potential to advance the quality of education inConstruction Engineering and Management (CEM). The integration of technology and datapractices into CEM curriculum is essential because the industry employers and students demandmore practical knowledge and hands-on experiences than ones in other domains do. Furthermore,many educational technology researchers argue that current students prefer to using technologyfor what they are
. One strategic response for universities has been a significant impetus – in many parts of the world – towards dual, joint or concurrent degree programs involving international partners1,2. It is perhaps not surprising that engineering is among the disciplines that make most use of international collaboration but it seems that engineering technology programs do not yet participate as extensively in this aspect of international education. Furthermore, it seems that much of the movement towards such collaborative degrees is occurring at the Master’s level3. At the 2010 ASEE Conference, the core of this author team presented an overview of the purposes and aspirations of a new concurrent Masters

It is too early todraw any concrete conclusions about how students will use the experience gained once they starttheir professional careers. The authors plan to continue communicating with the seniors aftergraduation to gauge how effective the experience had been.References[1] Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (TUES),http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5741, (last accessed on
disciplines that otherwise concentrate solely ondiscipline specific information. One of the strategies that can assist different disciplines inimplementing General Education SLGs is Course Coordination. Many disciplines, especially inscience and engineering go through accreditation processes. For instance, Computer EngineeringTechnology, is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).The disciplines that go through an accreditation process must comply with a set of standards. Inthe process of implementing Course Coordination SLGs in Computer Engineering Technology,we noticed that several of these standards were similar to the criteria used for accreditation.

In this class, they design and build a telerobotic (master-slave) system to execute a simpleactivity of daily living. They use a Novint Falcon haptic device on the master side and build amanipulator for the slave side of the system. They design and build the interface in LabVIEWand design and build the electronics to control the slave manipulator. Some students haveadapted off-the-shelf robotic kits for the slave manipulator.

Peace was the key element of the model, whereeducators should promote the pursuit of peace in engineering education through being at peacewith oneself, others, and the planet. Principles of green engineering are also important inengineering education (3), as engineers of future generations will use sustainable technology,benign manufacturing processes and an array of environmental assessment tools in their futureprofessional careers.

This “call to change” has not been limited to the educational community as various industrieshave carried out a variety of reorganization, downsizing and merger attempts in order to remaincompetitive. Some of the techniques used in the business community are now finding their wayinto institutions of higher education. Two of the most notable are reengineering and total qualitymanagement. Both these processes call for higher education to “go about its business” in a newand more effective way.
