A major decline inautomotive manufacturing jobs has left many areas in Michigan with high rates ofunemployment. Baraga County, located 15 miles south of Michigan Tech, has one of the nation’shighest rates of unemployment. Yet, Michigan has an unmet need for workers in robotics jobs26,48 . Filling these jobs, however, requires workers trained and certified in the following skill sets:designing, testing, maintaining, and inspecting robotic components; troubleshooting robotmalfunctions; using microcomputers, oscilloscopes, hydraulic test equipment, microprocessors,electronics, and mechanics; and reading blueprints, electrical wiring

Upperclassman students presented the results and fielded questions from faculty and team leaders. 2) A foamcore ‘competition’ was used to introduce the design process to undergraduate students. Students engineered and constructed devices that would transport a ping pong ball around the four sides of a square at least four meters in length using limited materials. Scaled drawings with tolerances were created for each device prior to construction, and material properties were tested. The project culminated in a ‘competition’ in which students displayed and used their devices

The emergence of non-traditional education providers (such as online and hybrid) poses challenges for US highereducation institutions. To remain competitive, US universities should re-adapt the way educationis delivered, and develop curricula that meets the core competencies required in the marketplace6. At a time when local, state, and national resources for education are becomingincreasingly scarce, expectations for institutional accountability and student performance arebecoming more demanding. There is a need for more educational innovations that have asignificant impact on student learning and performance7. Programs that focus on teachingstudents in

Studentsscoring slightly higher on the CMPT but not high enough to be placed in calculus have theoption to begin in “long calculus”. Long calculus is a two semester sequence course, where thefirst semester is a four hour pass/fail course that spends approximately a third of the semesterreviewing precalculus material. Calculus I material is introduced, and almost twice as much timeis spent on each topic than in regular calculus I. The second semester is a four hour gradedcourse that continues the calculus I material. Students passing both semesters of long calculusare given credit for calculus I

Students had to understand the previous material (specifically in lab assignments) inorder to proceed to the next. This dependency was not artificial (such as not being allowed as perthe syllabus to proceed until previous lab work was accomplished), but rather was a naturalprogression of learning the assigned material.Increased Levels of Communication: Participants

In 1972, the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at New Jersey College of Engineering(now the largest part of New Jersey Institute of Technology) exposed me to all engineeringfundamentals. Surprisingly, one of my most used lessons right now is applying problem solvingstrategies that I learned with the early computer languages. As new engineers, we were expected to move into a position with a company that wouldbe utilizing our major in the purest sense.

This coursenow incorporates learning practical engineering software and developing students’ ability tolearn new software in an efficient manner. Students are taught the importance of fundamentaltheory beyond rote memorization of the mechanics of the software implementation. Additionally,students are taught to investigate multiple solution methods for similar problems and choose themost efficient method. The course concludes with a project aimed at allowing students to learnnew software on their own, quickly and efficiently. The purpose of this paper is to outline thebasics of this course

My belief is that just as there is a need for public parks and squares to be pleasant and welcoming to a diverse population in order to function effectively, so must the interfaces and places in the online classroom environment, be designed to engender meaning and afford social interactions. I invented several analysis tools for measuring the embodiment of course materials, the flows of communication and information, and the ”sense of place,” using frameworks such as the Vitruvian Triad and the concept of tacit knowledge and Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development. Since the notion of a ”sense of place” is not well understood outside the design fields, my recent research seeks to define the concept
