In STEM fields, games now cover diverse topics ranging from numericalmethods(18), algebra(19), electrostatics(20), cell biology(21), protein folding(22), space exploration(23), CAD(3),chemistry(2, 22), pharmaceuticals(24), research methods(25), and entrepreneurship(26).

Among the subjects covered in seminars were teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, and communicating effectively. Laboratory experiences included animated web-page design, computer-chip design, laser optics, computer hardware and more.

This, along with the fact that our teaching assignmentstend to remain constant over a three to five year period, provides an opportunity to bothcompare student performance with expectations as well as make meaningful year-to-yearcomparisons. It was obvious that a detailed discussion of all 12 courses was not possible eachyear. Thus only selected courses are reviewed each year, although all courses arereviewed on a set cycle. Because of their importance in the curriculum both semesters ofthe unit operations laboratory and both semesters of the design class are reviewed eachyear.

These three engineering courses add up to sixsemester hours and span the entire freshman year.The “original” freshman engineering course sequence between 1998 and the spring of 2007included engineering fundamentals (circuits, material balance and statics), computer applications(Excel, Mathcad and Solid Edge), statistics, engineering economics, teamwork, communicationskills, and a design project. The students did most of their work in teams, including homeworkproblems, laboratory activities and presentations. The freshman year culminated in a designcompetition between student teams.In 2002, the College began to pilot a robotics-centered set of freshman

Board.Major course curricula are reviewed periodically at Industrial Advisory Board meetings. “Shockand Vibration Analysis” class was recommended to revise lab contents following industrialstandards. Course instructor showed Industrial partners the vibration lab equipment and theprocedure to run a vibration course lab. Course instructor and industrial partner collaborated onthe lab revision plan. Three vibration systems were then designed and fabricated by industrialpartner. After the establishment of the new systems, a presentation on the mechanisms andapplications of various types of industrial acoustic sensors was given first by an industrial expert.Then student’s lab experience was supervised by both course instructor and industrial partner

The ILN is designed to enhancethe instructor’s ability to solicit active participation from all students during lectures, to conductimmediate and meaningful assessment of student learning, and to provide needed real-timefeedback and
third party. (2) On-campus student advising is conducted through three channels: the project P/I, the International Student Advisor, and the departmental academic advisor. Advising starts as soon as the student enrolls in the program at J.S.S. using seminars and lectures on a variety of related topics conducted by the P/I and designated J.S.S personnel. (3) While the role of the P/I is central in easing the transition issues, it is no replacement for actual contact among the students themselves. This advance interaction was initiated by sending Wilkes students and two staff members to visit with and hosted by J.S.S. for ten days. Such early contacts should provide the opportunity to experience

Inthe following school year, the teachers are expected to implement their learning activity. They arealso welcome to propose university-related field trips and activities for their students.Summer ProgramThe summer portion is a six-week program during which RET teachers participate inpre-specified research projects at their assigned labs from Monday through

An S-field analysis is performed so that a new design having the physicalcontradiction resolved can be proposed and implemented.Introduction The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) has predicted that this year the U.S. willlose its world leadership standing in manufacturing. While this fact does not seem to beimportant today, the consequences are far reaching and may be catastrophic to our nation.Michael Wessel, a member of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commissionclaimed that “we no longer have the domestic capacity to produce enough ammunition to supplyour troops

The quiz consisted of 20 questions that tested students’ knowledge of single andmulti-queuing theory. Fifteen questions were designed to test the student’s conceptual knowledgeand five questions were designed to test their analytical knowledge of a special case of batchqueuing, which was discussed in the virtual teaching module. The scores were calculated based oncorrectly answered percentage ratios for each quiz score type (See Appendix A). The perceivedworkload of the quiz was evaluated
