The benefits ofworking with these technologies to imbue students with better problem solving skills should beevident. Future engineering students will undoubtedly be task to solve problems where theyhave little if any formal training. The manufacturing sector, not to mention the service basedsector is likely to be filled with robotic system employing automation routines, vision systems,and adapted learning techniques. Engineers will be required to program and fix these systems.Humanoid systems and home robots are right around the corner.

The degree program is Master of Science inMechanical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

We tookpictures of Herbie with the campus administrators, which ended up on the university’s majorwebsites, giving Herbie significant exposure to the university community and expandingHerbie’s social network.As Herbie’s recognition progressed, we began to do “Herbie Giveaways.” These giveawaysbegan by having a basket full of candy attached to Herbie’s head and running Herbie around thehallways of campus.

solutions. For a project in the Engineering field, theease of which a material can be sourced or produced could be exaggerated or brushed off as viable,whereas in reality, it is in fact harmful and unsustainable for the environment. This is mainlybecause sustainable development is not the key learning outcome of that particular course, whichminimizes its presence in that curriculum. As a result, students graduate with little to no knowledgeof modern sustainable practices, limiting their contribution to any breakthroughs in that capacity.To overcome this need, The York University SDG Uphold (YU-SDG-UP) app was designed toimmerse students into a world of those scenarios, where their responses are recorded and gradedon an impact scale.

These are valuable components of a Mechanical Engineering education; they offer the opportunity to apply analytic techniques to open-ended problems, and introduce the students to concepts of design optimization. However, they are often limited to parametric design problems; they involve only dimensional synthesis, and provide

, our research delves into the realm of student-teacher dynamicsthrough the lens of learning styles, as evaluated by the Silverman-Felder Index of Learning Styles(ILS). This study aims to contribute to the discourse within engineering education by examining thecorrelation between the alignment of student and instructor learning styles and its impact onstudent academic performance. The Silverman-Felder ILS, a well-established tool, delineateslearning styles across four dimensions: active/reflective, verbal/visual, sensing/intuitive, andsequential/global. We operationalize alignment as the proximity in four-dimensional space betweena student's ILS score and that of their instructor. Initial findings based on a cohort of 300 Cadets atthe United

American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Demystifying tensors: A friendly approach for students of all disciplinesAbstractThe concept of a “tensor” is an extremely important one in science and engineering. And yet, it isnotoriously one of the most difficult concepts for students to grasp. In fact, there is muchconfusion as to what tensors truly are and why they exist in the first place. In this paper, I pose thequestion: “How should tensors be introduced to science and engineering students for the firsttime, and at what point in their education?” I seek an answer to this question that is both formallyand pedagogically correct. I note that there are two primary approaches to tensors currently

can helpto “demystify” the tenure process and to ensure success. Mentoring programs, some formal, some informal, can be found throughout business andeducation1-4, yet not all are effective. This is due in part to a misunderstanding of the role of bothmentor and mentee. Furthermore, much of the available literature on mentoring in academiaaddresses the mentorship of graduate students, not new faculty colleagues. Therefore, thesefledgling professors are often neglected. This paper presents the results of interviews with new engineering faculty on theirexperience at the receiving end of mentoring.

We used AutoCAD to design the detector’s parts that weremachined and assembled to form the proposed detector. We have used Maxwell software topredict the electrical field and potential in the drift and amplification regions of the detector.

This was accomplished using visually pleasing, intuitive, hands-on examples,experiments, demonstrations and analogies that were introduced in a step-by-step manner, whileconnecting the concept of stability to other related concepts.

Education. You can enhance traditional textbook with simulationsthat pop right out of the book to the world around you, or can think on the ability to put newcontent in the textbooks; material that can be updated on demand. Next level of AR meansadding interactivity, possible by the creation of "digital manipulatives" that can support hands-onlearning. There is a lot of work done finding ways to use AR to simulate the physical world. Forexample, the creation of SimSnails offers an interactive visualization of a 3D snails colony thatlives, breeds, and is eaten by predators. It could be used in museums, but also as a teaching tool,because it can be easily carried to classroom5.Assistive technology is another area where AR has been playing a role. One
