Studentshave responded positively overall to the remote access tool. Suggestions include reducing thetime delay and providing a better view of the position of the tool tip. Future directions includesplitting the program into subroutines so that a sub-routine will be executed only when requestedrather than loading the entire program at the beginning. We will also provide a better view of the3D rendering model using multiple images from webcams positioned at different locations in themachine work envelope.Motivation and Related WorkMost manufacturing engineering-related courses

CS Curriculum Design There have been great strides in determining potential areas of improvement among CScourses and programs [e.g., 26, 27, 28]. One area of literature focuses on college students nothaving the necessary skills and knowledge to work in the industry [29, 30, 31, 32]. In regard totheir soft skills, graduates tend to struggle with their verbal [31, 33] and writing [28, 30, 34]skills, in particular, clearly articulating their problems when they need help [29]. In regard totechnical skills, graduates often lack the ability to use a number of industry software tools, suchas configuration management and database tools [29, 32, 35]. Another

While never compromising the terminal course objectivesfor any of the five first-term courses, the sequence of topics and the scope of many assignments ineach course is orchestrated to support an heuristic approach to critical thinking.I. Introduction“Industry wants students from engineering and engineering technology programs to be proficientin problem solving skills. During their educational process, these students are faced with solvinga myriad of technical problems. However, are they just learning how to solve problems, or arethey being taught how to approach the concept of problem solving?” This is a
workshop in June 2022. A goalof this workshop was to survey the community as to what already existed in this field and to considerhow to expand electricity access education in the United States.Following the success of 2022 workshop, an expanded workshop on this topic was held in October2023. About 40 attendees, including engineering faculty members, students, and field practitionersparticipated. The two-day program of sessions included keynote speakers, moderated panels, andthemed discussions. This paper presents details of the second workshop along with feedback fromthe attendees about the workshop and how they found it beneficial.This project was funded by a grant from the Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC)of the National

Kindergartners and first graders in particular showed remarkable improvements in the understanding of basic mathematics facts compared with students from previous years who have not been involved in Kumon.Disadvantages: 1. Each child’s work must be graded each day. 2. Teachers must be trained in the methodology. 3. Gains are steady, but not instantaneous.
