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

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.

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.

clear that being able to quickly retrieve, filter, organize, record, recite, and (correctly/accurately) utilize this huge amount of information has become a critical skill for all engineering educators. This will continue to require increasing skills with modern information technology, as well as a mindset attuned to these new ways of doing things.5. Simulation and Virtual Reality versus Actual Reality: Computer-based simulation, computational and graphical, has replaced portions of what used to be hands-on physical experiment-based activities, both in the practice and education of engineering. Although offering powerful advantages, and saving time in design and analysis, the flip side is that one must continuously maintain
attempt problem solving in physics with a novice approach; namely,they use a means and ends analysis which largely depends on substituting numbers in formulashoping that the answer will “come out right”. From my own research and experience as a physicsinstructor for the last 10 years, I have noticed that students who are enrolled in introductorycalculus-based physics courses fall under two distinct categories. (a) Some of them, even thoughthey completed the prerequisite calculus course, do not have a clear conceptual understanding ofcalculus, and (b) the majority of students have adequate knowledge of calculus concepts albeit inan abstract way: They have little or no training in how to apply this knowledge in physicsproblems.

requirements.A common problem in engineering learning is developing relationships between a theoreticalpresentation of a subject matter and practical engineering skills. In our experience, studentsbenefit from developing these ties. By providing examinations in a “story” format, anexamination’s problems were placed within a context. That is to say that students could relate thetheoretical problem solution with the scenario in which the problem was presented.Engineering students are often visual learners and problem solvers. These learners prefer andintellectually respond to problems that they can visualize. Story problems let them perform thisvisualization. In fact, some students responded to the examinations in kind, and submitted “greatliterature

Though the currentcourses are not as complex as the proposed Intrusion Detection System course, research showsthat the lab automation software would be an asset for such a use case. Our research indicatesthat a student could utilize the environment at the start of class without any setup effort required.The proposed setup would put four multipurpose operating systems and two virtual appliances into the hands of IDS students; providing a far richer learning experience, an experience we expectwould more closely resemble what would be found in a non-academic environment.Bibliography1.

Session 3213 Is Grad School for Me? Randall A. Yoshisato* The Dow Chemical Company Abstract To grad school or not to grad school — that is the perennial question that spirals in the mind of virtually every graduating senior. Unlike previous generations, many engineering faculty members have little or no industrial experience. This lack of practical industrial experience provides the advisor with a limited, and sometimes
, personalized online learning experiences. We evaluate the effectiveness of this methodthrough a series of case studies and provide guidelines for instructors to leverage these technologiesin their courses.1 IntroductionLarge Language Models (LLMs) and their emerging skills provide educators with new capabilitiesto improve our teaching and save time. LLMs like ChatGPT have emerged as powerful tools thatcan assist in creating educational content and interactive learning experiences [1].For digital system design and computer architecture, traditional education often relies on expen-sive hardware, specialized software, and physical laboratory spaces. These requirements can limitaccess to hands-on learning experiences, particularly for students in

They provide an environment forinteractive self-paced learning, served as supplement to the textbook, and in some caseseffectively connects learning context to media by appropriate choice of visual metaphors.By bringing the perspectives of students to bear on the design and implementation ofthese learning tools, it is implicit that students’ learning styles are accommodated. Thisinteractive energy courseware therefore holds the potential of enhancing
