This can be frustrating for new faculty who feel theyexpend great effort in their teaching only to receive less than desired ratings on student teachingevaluations. Educators tend to blame the students, claiming “they do not appreciate us.” Theproblem however, may be related to our priorities as new educators and our attitude toward ourstudents. To overcome this difficulty, educators need to adopt an attitude of good customerservice in
module asrecommended by Phillips and Huber (2017).ConclusionsA keynote criterion for ABET certification is the exposure to students’ standards in science andengineering education programs before undertaking upper-level design engineering projects.Furthermore, employers expect that engineering students, before being hired, must have aworking knowledge of applying engineering standards. These engineering standards range fromthe safe use of consumer products to wireless technologies in fire and security systems.The approach taken by CWRU and UT is to refine a universal lecture module for inclusion byprofessors in lower-level courses. This course exposes and educates engineering students on theapplicable standards in their respective fields
VC2L.ConclusionBuilding Information Modeling is a process which aids the integration, collaboration and projectmanagement for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. Its benefit is beingseen in the construction industry and increasingly companies are adapting it. As the demandincreases, it is becoming even more important for a construction curriculum to allow thetraditional methods of education to incorporate technology and skills for future growth. To allowfor the existing heavy workload of the undergraduate program of Construction Management(CM) to absorb BIM, it is important to integrate it throughout the curriculum. As this methodicalchange happens, the existing skill level of the students who are not habitual users of thecomputer programs

strictly designed for K-12 students,this course does connect well with their standards on The Nature of Technology and anunderstanding of Technology and Society. Much of the course is focused on understanding thedifferent energy sources and the use of energy from those sources, and on the environmental andeconomic impacts of the energy sources. Therefore, this course either helps reinforce the K-12standards at a college level, or helps to fill in the gaps in the education of these students on theirunderstanding of these topics. Also, by giving the students some experience with doingengineering work, and through the preliminary discussions of how engineers would go aboutsolving a problem, the course sought to provide students with a better

Through the development of MSBDM, US manufacturers will be provided with acutting edge computing infrastructure applicable to essentially all manufacturingprocesses.

This WIP paper aimsto identify methods of use of virtual models to teach students energy audit processes andevaluate their effectiveness. Specifically, the research question considered is: Is theimplementation of VR technology in energy audit training more effective and efficient thantraditional lecture-style training methods? To achieve this goal, virtual training environments arecreated by scanning real-world environments with an infrared scanning device. VR environmentsare then used for the training of students via VR headsets and computers, and finally, the impacton student learning will be evaluated by comparing students’ perceptions of effectiveness oftraining methods

to best connect innovation in teaching with the creation ofvalue in learning is a challenging one to all educators. The introductory materials course for themanufacturing and mechanical engineering technology degree programs at the campuses ofPurdue University gives an overview of properties, processing, and applications of polymers,composites, and non-traditional materials commonly used in industry. Students develop problemsolving skills through practice in the areas of materials selection, evaluation, measurement,testing and processing.

Laboratory experiments areuseful in teaching students skills needed for employment, and to reinforce theoretical conceptsintroduced during lectures. However, the students sometimes do not receive timely feedbackbecause it is extremely time-consuming for the instructors to grade the hands-on exercises. Thestudents usually do not have the opportunities to fix the mistakes they made in previous labs dueto lack of timely feedback. These challenges were addressed by the creation of an automatedgrading and feedback system, called BroadReach Extended, for locally designed hands-onexercises in Information Technology (IT) courses.
