Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Designing Printed Circuit Boards for Microwave Engineering Applications: a Teaching Tool for Engineering Technology StudentsAbstractThis paper will present the results stemming from an undergraduate course in MicrowaveEngineering Technology at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. An opportunity toexperience the complete process of designing a microwave circuit with printed circuit board(PCB) technology was made possible by a grant provided by the Electrical and ComputerEngineering Technology Department Heads Association (ECETDHA). The financial support hasallowed the students to apply the theory that is part of the class syllabus to a practical

attachment will result inevitably in movement away from our stated goals.Rather, we hope to offer an alternative to the present conceptualization of engineeringand engineering education and ask that each of us choose freely from the alternativesconsistent with our values.It is the ultimate irony of our times that the scores of technological advances that serve uswell and enrich us can equally impoverish, diminish, and destroy our lives. Many of thecreations of modern engineering which instead of serving people, enslave them; insteadof helping them develop their identities, take them away. As we have seen in the attackson the Twin Towers in New York City, and on the mass transit systems in London andMadrid, potential terrorists have much more

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Challenges and Successes of Creating a Living-Building Laboratory (Building as a Laboratory) For Use in the Engineering Technology CurriculumAbstractIn the fall of 2005 the Engineering & Design department at our institution moved into a newlyconstructed building. During the early design stages provisions were made to allow studentsaccess to various types of data used in the operation of the building. The desire was that thebuilding would be used by students as a Living Laboratory. Students would be able to see howthe theory that was taught in their classes was put into practical use throughout the building.Courses taught in the
solving skills needed in today’s industry. We workwith industry to fund scholarships, and host recruitment fairs for full-time job placement. Withindustry assistance and funding, students work on faculty/student industry projects andfaculty/company directed capstone senior design projects, as a bridge between education and thework environment. Through our Engineer-In-Residence program, Technology graduate studentsare placed at companies and supported for a semester long “in-house” project. There are manyother avenues used to provide pathways between industry and academics.We have developed a strong triangle which links student, industry, and university. Theindustry/academic partnership must be present in all phases of development and delivery

This field of engineering brings a multi disciplinary approach toengineering education reflecting the complex nature of common products that we come across indaily life such as cell phones, airbags and myriad of appliances. In other words, mechatronicproducts are the fusion of mechanical devices, sensors, actuators and
autonomy necessary to look for the ones that are what, how, when, and where tolearn. In this context the education institution cannot and it should supply the fundamental paperof getting into the sense of the under graduation program. This proposal suggests a new " form"to the educational orthodox methods, since it presupposes the use of consecrated methodologiesof centuries, such as called seminars, for example, with derivations and innovative aspects wheninserting in this the whole available technological tools in the institution, as well as the insert ofmore flexible and modernized concepts to the usual proposals. It could include a systematic ofapproach of the scientific technologies and methodologies called “top technology” generallydeveloped

Thecourse delivery has changed considerably since 1979 and the courses in the currentprograms focus on delivery systems based on widely available consumer technologies.Two Engineering Technology departments at RIT started providing distance learningcourses in 1989 and presently provide thirteen different courses for two different bachelorof science degree programs. Distance learning programs at RIT are keeping us competitive with other collegesand universities. The programs meet the needs of a growing population of RIT learnersfor whom distance delivered instruction is the only viable means by
@ewu.eduAbstract:Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have been proliferating in the last decade. Societal relianceon IoT technologies has been increasing over the last 5 years and is projected to increaseexponentially. Wireless communication is a core component of the IoT ecosystem. Cellular andwireless technologies are also foundational topics in the NICE (National Initiative forCybersecurity Education) framework. Educational institutions have been increasingly adding IoT,cellular, and wireless courses to their curricula, to keep in line with societal and regulatory trends.Faraday cages are instrumental in understanding and testing several aspects of the wirelessparadigm. Faraday cages are also indispensable for wireless signal isolation, which is an
particular of 1st yearstudents, who apparently have difficulty in building their engineering identity and opt-out toother non-engineering area, while students from other disciplines very rarely transfer toengineering.The key motivation in initiating the proposed study is thus a quest for new educational solutionsthat will help explaining in appealing terms what engineers do and how they contribute to thewell-being of society in the short term, and that will, in the long term encourage potentialstudents to take on engineering careers.Declining engineering enrollment trends are directly related to the public understanding ofscience (PUS), technology and engineering (although that relation is far from simple). PUStrends are closely monitored by a
-Learning Model: The South Carolina PartnershipAbstractRecently, there has been a steadily growing movement for a more mobile and self-pacededucation such as that received in virtual E-Schools. To most, this is an attractive option as itallows the flexibility of holding a day job, traveling, supporting a family and advancing one’seducation all in unison. However, few of these programs have focused on STEM education.Meeting this need, a synergistic partnership in South Carolina has emerged to create an NationalScience Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) regional center foraviation and automotive education aptly named CA2VES (Center for Aviation and AutomotiveTechnology Education using Virtual E-Schools
