to their future success. Aboveall, the mobile application is being proposed, designed and developed by students, who know theirneeds the best. On the other hand, both engineering students and faculty members will benefit from the project.The project will also be developed as a teaching tool for related courses such as ProgrammingLanguages and Embedded Systems. Moreover, this project does not only serve as a guideline forchatting applications but also for any programming based project that students and faculty canconsider in future. The mobile application utilizes a shuttle computer as the server, SQL to communicate with thedatabase, and the standardized XMPP protocol to communicate with the phone. Xcode© [5] is usedfor mobile

Engineering technology programs at Kansas State UniversitySalina Aerospace and Technology Campus saw the opportunity to partner with industryinternships and remote campus students through flexible course attendance options. HyFlexcourse delivery preserves existing campus strengths in in-person active learning whilesimultaneously offering online participation options.

Because flipped classroomassignments were designed to guide students while away from the instructor, they were easilytransferable to online-option students. Support materials initially developed

This paper highlights a required undergraduate course on energysystems and conversion for electrical engineering (EE) students at Penn State University -Harrisburg. The new course format adds components that are not typically included in thestudents’ exposure to the subject. It guides students to explore various energy sources,conversion technologies, and highlights economic, environmental, sustainability, ethical, healthand safety, social, and political issues in energy use.IntroductionMany electrical engineering (EE) programs traditionally include an energy conversion course inthe program requirements for the undergraduate degree.

These projects aim to increase those opportunities to students, particularly in a sometimes challenging subject like thermodynamics.Benefits to HospitalThe hospital will receive copies of all the project reports and will be invited to the finalpresentations. The students’ work may find inefficiencies or problems that hospital staffmay not have resources to investigate. In fact, the students’ reports may likely become aresource for the hospital staff, helping to increase their understanding of

– Fort Smith (UAFS) is an open admission institution with strongties to local industry; it supports many technology related programs. UAFS in conjunctionwith the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville (UAF) offers bachelor degrees in Electricaland Mechanical Engineering. The Fort Smith campus is responsible for the first two years ofthe degree and additional interactions with senior design students. In this arrangement,UAFS faculty members predominantly teach freshman and sophomore courses which canbring the trappings of monotony and deterioration of instructor’s cutting edge knowledge. Tohelp combat this issue, a sabbatical leave can be used to keep one’s knowledge up to date andbring new perspective to the classroom for both the instructor and

This MEA extension -ethical MEA (E-MEA) - requires students to resolve ethical dilemmas embedded within a larger,unstructured engineering problem. Engineering scenarios are being designed that elicit differingperspectives on ethical issues, for example confidential information versus public safety oremployee loyalty versus whistle blowing. We are extending MEAs in this fashion in order tostudy the strategies that engineering teams use to resolve complex ethical dilemmas, usingprocess-level assessments of their MEA problem solving activities.Our approach begins with the key engineering concept or idea (model

We found that collective efficacy beliefs were strongly related to indices ofteam cohesion and satisfaction with team functioning. They were also related to students’ senseof self-efficacy, interests, and social support relative to remaining in engineering. Seniorsreported significantly stronger collective efficacy than did freshmen, suggesting that, withincreasing team experience, students gain confidence in their ability to manage project teaminteractions.Our first study, aimed mainly at measure development and validation, examined
