ISSprofessional staff secured and trained tutors in the use of the software and hardware. ISS staffalso determined if tutors needed support in terms of subject matter from supported content areas,and if so, made arrangements for the tutors to audit relevant courses. Additionally, ISS staffestablished training seminars for faculty using a hands-on workshop format. These seminarswere offered both on-site and online. ISS

As it pertains to each major Page 22.562.3engineering discipline, energy engineering can effectively be partitioned into two core areas:power generation and energy conservation. Within the discipline of mechanical engineering, thearea of power generation has a long and well-documented history, having traditionally focusedon the component and systems-level design of various thermo-mechanical devices tasked withextracting or converting useful heat energy and work from

increasing importance of renewable energy, solar cell manufacture is an appropriatetopic for the Engineering technology curriculum. We described several senior design projectsthat gave students hands-on experience with solar cell quality issues that could be addressed withmodern methods such as machine vision, image processing, and robotics. The senior designproject at Drexel University addresses this issue and encourages students to investigate inpossible methods for building quality solar energy efficient systems. It presents a non-contact-based approach to assess certain performance methods and characteristics of a solar cell of solarcells by using E-Quality and image processing.

to fulfill our educational objectives, my personal opinion is thatour effort should be directed towards cultivating and increasing the ability ofstudents to think. That the ability to think is more important than the simpletransfer of knowledge is obvious: Even if a student learns everything by the timethe B.S. degree is awarded, a short time after graduation that engineeringprofessional (a) will have to obtain new knowledge, probably on their own (b) it is very probable that a few years after graduation, the young engineer will be the head of a group that involves persons from various disciplines; in that capacity simple, dry knowledge of facts will not be at all helpful; the ability to think, however, will be

Togetherwith profiled learning materials, the platform then dynamically generates an individual learningpath to guide a learner in achieving his or her own personal learning objectives. The technologyis similar to what is used to profile Amazon.com users. This allows the platform to deliver notonly custom learning materials for the student to interact with, but also customized assessmentactivities.

Students are encouraged to model any problem that could lend itself easily tosuch a process in terms of required materials. One such example would be that of two massesconnected with a thread, where one mass executes circular motion on a horizontal plane, andthe other is vertically suspended below. Problems like these also open students’ eyes to thereal life complications that arise when all the textbook assumptions such as ideal connectionand no friction cannot be enforced

Many academic institutes developed the laboratory-based courses to helpstudents to accelerate their learning in different types of laboratories such as real, simulation, oronline [1]. Especially in Information Technology education, hands-on exercises through thelaboratory became an essential component of the course because it provides students with anopportunity to learn and observe how to apply the concepts
