It comes loaded with several pre-designednetwork layouts to choose. However, users can also create their own networks and labs. Usersare empowered to build, test and preview any type of network and environment they want. Thisfeature allows learners to experience how to connect different types of hardware interfaces suchas Fast Ethernet and Serial Interfaces. Figure 2 shows an example of a

First, in the LA Pedagogy Seminar, LAs receivepedagogical development in in a formal class with their peers, generally in their first term as anLA. Second, LAs meet weekly with the instructor and the graduate teaching assistants as amember of the instructional team to prepare for active learning in class that week. While LAselsewhere are often used in large lecture sections, in the context of the unit studied, the LAsfacilitated learning in smaller studio or laboratory sessions (Koretsky, 2015; Koretsky et al
as well as interested EET faculty fromother colleges and universities. The faculty workshops are scheduled to be conducted for threeconsecutive years at Michigan Tech and in Year 2 and 3 at Bay College. These workshops areoffered to faculty members of two- and four year institutions and are designed to increasepractical experience in Industrial Robotics as well as renew the interest and empower thoseseeking to revamp existing courses or develop new courses in Industrial Robotics.These 2-day, 16 contact hour workshops are designed to be an intense, immersive experiencethat provide a broad spectrum of activities to participants. The workshop starts by conducting asurvey and pre-test. The survey, an anonymous questionnaire, is designed to
identify the various challenges in their analysis and design.Having introduced NCSs, we then present our main contribution: a conceptual framework basedon a system architecture known as Model-Based Networked Control Systems (MB-NCS).[4] Thestudy of MB-NCS has developed in an attempt to analyze and design control systems in thepresence of real-world constraints such as network usage, information delays, and limitedbandwidth. Through thorough analysis, we explain how these constraints map accurately to thereality of various educational processes, such as the way students learn and their interaction withfaculty. In particular, the case of MB-NCS with Intermittent Feedback becomes especiallyrelevant.[5] We provide an in-depth explanation of this
student in chemical engineering. As an undergraduate student, healong with several fellow students struggled with a lack of understanding in a requiredcourse in numerical and computational methods (NCM). Despite the fact that heobtained a good grade in this course, he did not retain or fully grasp much of theinformation taught in this course. He eventually learned computational methods whileworking at research laboratories and by doing some personal research on mathematicalmodeling. Thus, he is motivated to explore the literature on the topic of numerical andcomputational methods in engineering and computing education, which cansubsequently help to broaden the understanding of these methods and ensure that futurestudents have a better experience
- Once the team has revised the paper to “final” form, get at least onefresh set of eyes to read it. This will usually flush out any minor problems that the authors mightmiss. From personal experience, it is embarrassing to discover a typographical error in one ofyour published papers. Next, submit the paper ON TIME! The deadline could be set by a "callfor papers," or on a schedule originally agreed upon by the co-authors. If a target date is not set,the paper may not be written due to higher priorities. Papers received late are subject to reviewunder a limited time schedule. Again, because they are late, they may be more closelyscrutinized, or even rejected

A brief description of the seminars is offered in Table1. The format for the seminars is lecture, small group activities, and collaborative discussionwith an ExCEEd/ExcEEd faculty member acting as presenter and moderator.Demonstration Classes: ExCEEd/ExcEEd faculty members teach sample engineering classeswhere the

In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al (1991), “Toteach is to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning experiences and opportunities. In other words, thereal challenge in college teaching today is not covering

Much of these expenses were dedicated towards personnel costs to developrobotic simulation software, create curriculum, and design the articulation agreement betweenthe two institutions. Money was also reserved for stipends to be paid to workshop participants,travel to conferences and meetings, and instructor professional development. In order to trulyalign the curriculum, however, Bay College needed to purchase several robotic

The project’s sponsors wishedto produce teams that functioned at a higher level of integration and collaboration than traditionalmethods generated. In essence, the multidisciplinary team experience was to prepare graduateswho entered the fields of design and construction with the skills needed to enhance and promoteintegrated philosophies through leadership. Our case study was conducted over a four-year trial period consisting of a year-long, twocourse sequence pilot program. The program ran from Fall Semester of 2009 through Spring Se-mester of 2013. This program was open to 5th year AE students enrolled in either the Bachelor ofArchitectural Engineering (BAE) degree, the integrated

They are then often beset by amultitude of problems – inadequate salaries, forcing them to have an additional job whichdetracts from their university effectiveness; lack of financial resources for teaching andresearch laboratory equipment, and for publications that could keep them abreast ofdevelopments in their technical and professional fields; and lack of funds for travel toconferences that could keep them technically and professionally up to date.
