They are given tasks to complete as a team and thenrequired to report on their findings. Team building, information gathering, and fun all rolled intoone activity.The world of education also looks at scavenger hunts as ways to open up students’ curiosity toknowledge. Although the following had a grade 7-12 audience, one can see how it can be usedwithin engineering courses to focus students on needed information.Scavenger Hunts: Searching for Treasure on the Internet!Internet scavenger hunts are a way for students to practice problem

It is imperative for educators to develop corresponding new teaching methods that are much more efficient, and effective. Case studies can help students develop analytic and problem solving skills, allowing for exploration of solutions of complex problems, and affords students the opportunity to apply new knowledge and skills. The New York City College of Technology, funded by a NSF grant developed as series of case-studies in STEM fields that can be used in classroom teaching. A trial teaching with a case developed by the author was conducted in Fall 2012 semester and it was found very effective in the learning process. In this

He and Dr. Shankar have worked together in developing Robotics courses for high school students. Dr. Ploger brings two important perspectives to this collaborative research. First, from an engineering education perspective, he emphasizes the importance of communicating essential knowledge to non-engineers. The second per- spective comes from the mathematics education research literature. There is a well-established paradox: students often fail to apply familiar methods when they attempt to solve novel problems. Coordinating these perspectives has facilitated

While quantitatively inconclusive due to the small dataset presented in asingle semester, the qualitative benefits observed in students’ survey responses show thatretraining exercises improve the educational experience for students. These results stronglysuggest that retraining is a valuable addition to the classroom, particularly within the fields ofscience, mathematics, or engineering.

Engineering Education, 2017 Modeling the Effect of Renewable Energy and Smart Appliances in Energy Reduction of Residential 1 Homes Using GridLab-DI. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND When used in concert, microgrid and smart grid technologies have the ability totransform the way power is delivered. A microgrid is a localized energy grid with a colocated setof power generation sources and loads, with autonomous control, which can operateindependently of the traditional power grid [1]. As a result of this ability for autonomous control,it is possible for microgrids to connect to the main power grid or act in an “islanded” mode.Microgrids can be more efficient than traditional grids due to the
