In a 2-credit introduction to Science and TechnologyStudies course at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering,i we engaged in whatwe call “archival interventions”: the introduction of primary sources in the classroom and a visitto the school’s library to engage with archival materials. The interventions were the result of ateam effort between the course instructor, teaching

In performing any type of research, a student should access all intellectual property, notmerely cite copyrighted references. This includes patent and trademark searches, which can beeasily incorporated into any engineering assignment.

Our students, with some faculty guidance, are running anengineering consulting practice and working on a myriad of interesting and educational projects.Appropriate projects for student consultants are generally of the following types: diagnostic,development, or design. Diagnostic problems address questions such as “What is the oilymaterial that is contaminating this filter?” or “Why is the flooring material in our factoryfailing?” or “Why does our fiberglass preform process produce scrap during the summer monthsbut not during the winter?” Almost any phenomenon that needs an explanation fits thisChemEngine project profile.

challenges that universities in the 21st century must face: what is the new valueproposition for on-campus learning, how to overcome the paradox posed by the tension betweenglobal presence and local virtue, and can we deliver quality global education right from our localcampus? With respect to engineering education that always positions itself at the frontier ofglobal education and distance education4, not only these challenges are real and present, but alsothey are more pressing and complex. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a new"Classrooms-Without-Borders" global engineering education program called iPodia, where thefirst letter "i" stands for "inverted", "interactive", and "international” learning.The iPodia program was

Ascross-disciplinary exchanges increase, however, the whole community is enriched by thediversity perspectives from within the discipline as well as those from outside. Engineeringeducation research (EER) has recently reoriented itself to integrate an interdisciplinary emphasison how people learn in the domain of engineering through the transition from the reformparadigm which emphasized development of teaching methods and curriculum development; toa research paradigm which stresses systematic investigations with theoretical rigor andempirical evidence4. To this end, the community of engineering education research, as anemerging interdisciplinary area of study, encourages experts from outside of engineering (e.g

ENT 402 “Shock and Vibration Analysis”course curriculum was recommended to be revised to keep students engaged with industrialvibration measurements. A plan for the collaboration between PCB Piezotronics and SUNYCollege at Buffalo was proposed. A presentation on current industrial vibration measuringtechniques was given by a PCB Piezotronics engineer. Three vibration systems were designedand constructed by PCB Piezotronics and were donated to SUNY College at Buffalo. Both PCBPiezotronics engineer and ENT 402 instructor supervised student lab experience

Additionally, it is imperative to create a highly educated workforce who can Page 15.1220.5contribute to overcoming future energy challenges.One method of supporting public education is to conduct as much of the design/build process ofthis project in a highly visible public environment, so that people can see what is going on,become interested, ask questions, and even join in the activity. Engineering and technologyeducators must develop new curriculum solutions in advanced energy technologies to fill thegaps in existing coursework

of these modules, the educators may divide the whole course materials into two-or three- semester courses or skip one or two modules to fit their needs. In our case, all themodules are needed. First, all students have to complete module I and II, i.e., introduction andspecifications. After successful completion of the first two modules, student can proceed to studyhardware design or software design part of embedded system according to their choice.

Colleges, universities, andeducational institutions have debated the question of how to modify the civil engineeringcurriculum in ways that will increase its appeal to students. Some of these institutions went as faras debating the viability of existing civil engineering programs. Many of the factors that affect thedirection of civil engineering education are directly related to environmental, economical,political, social, and cultural issues. Civil engineering is a discipline that mirrors the societalconditions of a community and addresses these conditions in a

A full understanding of the methodology and instruments to be used in a study or project is required to fully assess the vulnerability and ethical considerations of a given project. Further, the review panel needs to be aware of all systems and software that can be affected, both internal and external to
