When industry and academiacollaborate, their purposes may be very different, e.g., academia focuses on education andtheoretical research, and industry in general focuses on products and process efficiency.Therefore, it is not easy for faculty members in engineering programs to find collaborationprojects that represent a win-win situation for both industry and academia. Such projects canrepresent a major contribution to the education of our engineering students.In this paper, we

More specifically, students design, simulate, build, and then test a helicalantenna. For simulations, we use software available in the public domain. Students thenconstruct their antennas using readily available materials. Finally, they test their

The quality of the content or effort from students may be substandard, which has trickledown effects for learning and engagement. This section will explore the feedback about onlinelearning provided from students and faculty. It highlights both the benefits and weaknesses fromthe two perspectives. Students generally have very positive feedback and experiences with online learning. A2011 survey conducted by the Chronicle of Higher Education of more than 20,000 studentsfound that one-third of respondents prefer blended learning courses to the traditional
innovativeness in a variety of contexts. Thevolume of material that continues to be generated in scholarly, professional, and popular outletsis indicative of the emphasis the topics are receiving. Engineers, scientists, and other technicalexperts have long been at the forefront of technological and entrepreneurial innovation. In thecontemporary innovation environment, a “quality,” Engineering, scientific, or technicalundergraduate education, by definition, must be one that prepares the graduate to functioneffectively in that environment.Viewing innovation in three dimensions, bounded by three mutually supporting and reinforcingaxes is important because the lack of effective application along any one axis leads to less thaneffective innovation practice

Seven used it to introduce a key topic,generally electricity, while nine fit it into existing courses, generally as a unit on its own, and 13used it as an add-on, extension, or reinforcement during an existing course. Thus teachers metwith their students anywhere from two to eight times a week over anything from two to 40weeks. The total number of minutes spent on Sense-IT therefore ranged from 270 to 1680, withan average of 700. The chart below, in minutes, shows the huge range:3 Table 3

They provide a means for an assessor (“measurer”)or student (“learner”) to distinguish skills levels in engineering (performance chart); apply acomprehensive design process assessment rubric to a performance activity; and utilize a designprocess evaluation rubric. The flexibility of the rubrics permits easy selection of topics or skills toinclude in an assessment or evaluation exercise, if the measurer or learner wishes to focus on asubset of specific skills.The development methodology encourages the use of a broad base of expertise to make the

The game challenges students to not only learn engineering economic principles suchas present worth, rate of return etc., but also to use them to make realistic economic decisions in acompetitive setting. This creates a fun, engaging environment for

These outcomes haveintroduced and mandated by ABET for engineering programs to ensure the quality ofengineering graduates.

Reliability is determining how consistentthe survey is over time. In addition, the level of correlation survey items have with each oneanother will be investigated. If a survey is unreliable, survey statistics will move up and downwithout respondent opinions really changing. What may look like a significant change may bedue to the unreliability of the survey method.

efficient.2. BackgroundAt San Jose State University, engineering students must pass several courses in Englishcomposition (English 1A/1B) as well as an upper division technical writing course (E100W).The General Education curriculum contains a significant writing component, andengineering students are given specific instruction in engineering writing in several requiredclasses, such as Introduction to Engineering and Engineering Reports (E10 and E100W). Inthese classes they use a variety of formats, including memos, letters, engineering reports andjournal papers. They use these written formats in other, discipline-specific, courses. TheChemical and Materials Engineering (CME) department administers two such classes, the
