K-14 teachers cometo campus to learn both technical and pedagogical aspects of using classroom communicators.They return to their own classrooms with all necessary equipment. Three weeks later, theyreturn the equipment to campus and complete this professional development activity with sharedreflection and summative assessment.

The purpose of this paper is to guide others who mightbe thinking about developing a first-year engineering learning center or questioning the value ofcreating a seemingly too-small space for their students due to limited resources. The paper willoutline adjustments made and lessons learned that can be incorporated into the planning processof other educators and administrators who may be looking to provide a modest “makerspace”and hospitable centralized community area for undergraduate engineering programs and perhaps

While graduate students have a long history of serving as TAs, the Electrical &Computer Engineering department at a large public university has replaced virtually all of theirgraduate teaching assistants with undergraduates. Many of this department’s courses are in thehybrid “flipped” format, wherein the in-class lecture is replaced with active learning time inwhich motivated teaching

The study compares the motivating factors for U.S. studentsand International students, and draws on a similar study of graduate students at the University ofMichigan in 1995. The results suggest that while small gradations in factors exist between U.S.students and International students, both groups’ motivations to enroll in a MEM program alignclosely with their career goals.Introduction People considering graduate Masters of Engineering Management (MEM) programs in theU.S., whether U.S. students or International students, have clearer choices as competingprograms continue to differentiate themselves

IntroductionThe world faces concurrent energy and pollution crises. Rapid population growth and an increasein the living standard in many emerging countries have led to a greater demand for fossil fuels.Over the next 25 years, the societal requirement for energy is forecasted to increase by 36% withthe bulk attributed to developing countries1. The demand for energy will eventually outpace theability to supply energy from traditional resources. Most industry experts believe that an energycrisis is likely for
