Because our focus is on leadershipdevelopment, we are collecting those data at three different points in time to measure change.

Until now, most game-involved education practices are for K-12 group [1, 2]. At thesame time, it’s rare to find games being used for higher education. This phenomenon existsbecause the target knowledge for K-12 group can be more easily delivered through existinggames, when compared to the target knowledge in higher education.The nature of transportation education requires students to observe, design, and interact with thetransportation system. Unlike chemical engineering, transportation experiments require largescale field experimentation and have human factor impacts, so lab-work-based

For example, theposter is a universal structure used to communicate research results. It is a structure that cannormally be fully read in less than 10 minutes thereby efficiently communicating information.Also, designs for scientific posters are not new or unproven, they have been used tocommunicate scientific information over a long period of time, researchers are very familiar withthe process used to develop scientific posters, and scientific poster do not describe any specificimplementation of scientific research.

Their recommendations help us to plan and develop our ET programs more effectively for more successful partnerships.

impact on theuser-centric design.SummaryThe paper explains the procedure to create actionfunction diagrams for user centric design ofproducts. Some of the advantages of actionfunction diagrams are focusing closely on product anduser interaction, highlighting those functions of a product in which the user is involved, andallowing for analysis of user-product interaction in the early design stages.This method can be introduced in an engineering design curriculum for user-focused design. The Page 25.355.14aim of this paper is to educate the design community and engineering educators about theimportance of user modeling and the available methods to

The authors of this paper build a strong case, from theliterature, that calls for using biomimicry innovation capabilities and competencies inundergraduate engineering and technology education programs to prepare students with this typeof thinking to solve complex global problems to produce a sustainable world. To better preparestudents to become more effective citizens and problem solvers in our increasinglyinterconnected, globalized world, the kind of thinker who contemplates complex globalproblems, the engineering and technology education curriculum must move to a more globaleducational model, and in particular, one that embraces integrating innovation capabilities andcompetencies that develop

For many institutions, it is the pride of the volume of intellectual propertyapplications, the promise of making money from licensing, or the ultimate expression ofeconomic development in their communities, spin-off, and start

Team meetings must be scheduled outside of class time, information must be shared,and data updated in an efficient manner.

IntroductionEngineering instructors and practitioners do not question the requirement for a design to be“operable”; however, without considerable discussion, no two engineers would agree on themeaning of operability or how to achieve it. Certainly, this is not a reasonable situation for theeducation of engineering students; therefore, a set of operability topics is proposed forundergraduate education. For the purposes of this paper, operability will include the following eight topics.1. Operating window,2. Flexibility (and

past decade, dashboards have delivereda number of benefits to universities in the United States and beyond, including the abilityto efficiently analyze key performance metrics and financial information. Dashboards areparticularly useful because of their ability to summarize massive amounts of datavisually.In the early 2000’s, Richland College implemented a spreadsheet style executivedashboard for assessing key performance metrics. Dashboard metrics, as shown in Table1, included meeting community education needs, student success, employee success,implementation of technology for learning/operations, and improving the effectiveness ofcollege functions9. As a very basic design, this dashboard scores five KPI’s on a scale of1 to 10, thus allowing

PLDs can provide designsecurity and copy protection. They enable a design to be changed simply and cheaplywithout making expensive and time consuming PCB changes as earlier random logicdesigns required. Finally, PLDs are a lot more “fun” to work with than random TTL orCMOS logic (Student centric outlook!). Thus with these two course sequence thestudents become proficient in carrying their system design with PLDs and FPGAs. Thegeneral consensus of the system design community is that: the designs should begin inHDL, followed by some amount of simulation to verify the credibility of design
