)IntroductionIt is typical for an introductory undergraduate course in geotechnical engineering to exposestudents to the subjects of lateral earth pressure and bearing capacity. An understanding ofbearing capacity and lateral earth pressure is essential for the design of foundations, retainingwalls, and anchoring systems. This paper describes ongoing work to develop equipment,software, and hands-on teaching activities that apply Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to enhancea student’s first exposure to lateral earth pressure and bearing capacity. The approach describedherein enables students to observe the relationship between load acting on the soil and structuraldisplacement for conditions similar to those of a loaded footing, retaining wall, or

Their careers consisted ofconsulting, water treatment, enzyme manufacturing, and data science/project management. Thejigsaw activities provided a way for students to be more engaged in class, develop their criticalthinking skills, and collaborate with their classmates in a low-stakes atmosphere on an ungradedactivity. Student feedback indicated appreciation for real-world problems, as well as learningabout economic factors and decision-making in industry. Additionally, survey results throughoutthe semester showed a growth in students' EM, suggesting that jigsaw activities

This plan took the form of a certificateprogram at the Houston Community College. Courses in the certificate program could be usedfor some of the requirements of an Associates of Applied Science degree in ManufacturingEngineering Technology. The program could also lead to a Bachelors of Science degree inManufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology at Texas A&M.The need for additional STEM personnel has been [1-3] well established.

Students find electromagnetism to be one of the mostdifficult courses in the upper-level EE curriculum. Electromagnetics is difficult for students tolearn due to the required competency with vector calculus.

Classroom: A Win-Win-Win Strategy for Teaching with TechnologyAbstractAs costs of higher education soar and many universities face uncertain funding models,institutional pressures have increased to improve instructor efficiency. At the same time, U.S.industry leaders and leading educators have called for improvements in engineering educationbased on more interactive, hands-on student learning experiences. Although many efforts havebeen made to take advantage of technology to either improve student learning or to maintainstudent learning while increasing instructor efficiency, few approaches have been shown toimprove both learning and efficiency. A teaching method is proposed to improve studentlearning and increase student satisfaction

Therefore, the decision was taken to focus on a small number of programmes thatoffer more similar content to enhance the relevance of the benchmark. The following fourprogrammes were selected based on the fact that these studies are the most closely relatedones to our own programme. Each teaches a mix of marine engineering and naval architecturein a programme of a similar duration: 1. Ship Design at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) 2.

Also, new criteria for meeting TAC ofABET standards for our Engineering Technology programs included an inherent requirement forfaculty to have a greater understanding of the expectations of technicians and technologistsemployed in today's industries.This paper will illustrate how one school department has changed its program by bettermanaging classrooms such that students supplement more traditional assignments with hands-ontraining.

and minute papers. The version of kinesthetic learningconsidered here is a sub-set of active learning where students will be out of their seatsand quite literally active. Second, the term “kinesthetic learning” is in common use insome education circles. Within those circles, the focus is typically on learning a manualskill or refining muscle coordination. Engineers must learn to build physical structures,often using their hands to perform complex tasks. While a great deal of learning takesplace in becoming competent at wire wrapping and soldering a circuit board, connectingand sealing tubes in a flow loop or drilling a precise hole in a section of sheet metal, thelearning is largely a fine tuning of muscle memory. In most curricula, these
