College of Engineering and Computing. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Graphical Statics ReduxAbstractActive learning is defined in contrast to learning by exposition or lecture. More specifically itusually refers to any instructional activity that engages the student in learning, perhaps ratherthan in being taught. There are two fundamental challenges to embedding active learning in aStatics classroom. The first is coming up with the format for an activity that is appropriate forthe class and learning objectives and the second is in identifying content that can be effectivelycast in this format throughout the course.In this work, Graphical Statics is suggested as an

In the classroom, the abundant access and ease of use of MicrosoftExcel make it an excellent instrument to perform engineering calculations. Integration of Excelinto thermodynamics courses requires finding a suitable method of finding properties on steamtables. A recent internet search revealed three Excel-based macros which are suitable forcomputing steam properties in a spreadsheet. A property can then be found by calling a functionfrom
includes a prediction of an even greater shortage: To grow our nation’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) capacity and ensure that Americans nationwide can participate in a science and engineering (S& E) intensive economy, the United States must foster its Skilled Technical Workforce (STW) – individuals who use S & E skills in their jobs but do not have a bachelor’s degree. Rapid changes in the nature of work, education, technology, workforce demographics, and international competition have led to the National Science Board (NSB, Board) to conclude that our competiveness, security, and research enterprise require this critical, but often overlooked segment of our STEM-capable workforce.

Implementing the Computer ThreadThe principal mechanism for implementation of the computer thread was the Computers inEngineering Education Plan (CEEP). The strategy was to integrate computer usage intoindividual courses and to coordinate this usage among courses to establish the thread. Computerintegration meant that the computer was to be woven into the course, rather than merelyappended it to existing material.Funds were obtained from various agencies and foundations, as well as Stevens’ internal funds.These funds were employed to support faculty projects during
