andcarrying out the research—is a full-time job. First-class teaching—planning and updatinglessons, creating appropriately challenging but fair homework assignments and examinations,learning about, importing, and implementing new instructional methods and materials, doingclassroom research and curriculum development and presenting and publishing the results, anddealing with the myriad of problems that students routinely present (classroom management,cheating, emotional problems, etc.)—is also a full-time job. There is a limit to how many full-time jobs one individual can hold down. Faculty members find different ways of dealing with this dilemma.1. The superhuman professors. Some faculty members manage to put in the time needed to do
environmental engineering and the subdisciplines, and2. To begin the development of an awareness of infrastructure and the challenges facing the United States with respect to infrastructure overcapacity and degradation.3. To teach students about teamwork and to help them to function effectively in teams.This last goal is an important part of the course because the students will be working extensivelyin teams in future courses of the curriculum. One of the course modules covers the generalattributes of effective teams1 and the personal skills and attitudes that students need to be excel-lent team members. The personal attributes are based on the teamwork framework developed bythe Comprehensive Assessment for Team-Member Effectiveness (CATME

junior colleges have long played an important role in providing students accessto higher education, especially non-traditional and underrepresented student groups. Whenstudents who have completed a pre-engineering program at a two-year college begin study at afour-year institution, equivalent preparation is crucial for their academic success. In recognitionof this fact, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has established a Field of StudyCurriculum for Engineering which allows a specific set of pre-engineering courses to transferfreely among two-year and four-year public institutions in Texas. This paper presents a strategyto develop faculty workshops to enhance the implementation of the field of study curriculum,providing students the

Eachof these components is introduced early in the curriculum, reinforced in subsequent courses, andemphasized in upper division courses. This curriculum also emphasizes professionaldevelopment through outcomes in professional responsibility and ethics, and by engaging thestudent in a professional experience such as co-op, internship, directed research or otherexperiential learning activity related to the student's professional goals.This paper presents a brief summary of the development process that led to the ClarksonCommon Experience Curriculum. We discuss the relationship of this process to other curriculardevelopments in higher
embedded system design.1.1. The Lab EnvironmentTraditionally, the use of FPGAs in the undergraduate curriculum has been pretty much limited tothe design and testing of digital circuits instead of the development of more advanced embeddedsystems6. There are two reasons for this: insufficient hardware capability and lack of anappropriate embedded system design environment. Earlier generations of FPGA devices werequite limited in terms of the available hardware programmable resources such as control logicblocks and they could not accommodate complex components such as processors—which are themost critical component in embedded systems. However, thanks to advances in IC technology

They may also determine theapproaches taken to develop the engineering and technological workforce needed to meetthe needs of the manufacturing industry.This paper reviews some of the factors affecting manufacturing in the USA andelsewhere, the strategies that are being considered to enhance manufacturing, and therole of education as a strategic element in enhancing the manufacturing activity. Itproposes the aspects of a curriculum that should be considered to develop a strongmanufacturing workforce. It also presents a set of strategies to enhance manufacturingeducation.2.

increasing emphasis, sustainability is now recognized as an imperative and incritical need of application in the engineering disciplines, principally in the Civil andEnvironmental Engineering curriculums. The ASCE Body of Knowledge initiative and PolicyStatement on sustainability2,3 promote the ability to analyze the sustainability of engineeredsystems and associated natural resources. Lifelong learning is inherent in the principles ofsustainability, leading to increasing levels of knowledge and skills required for innovative andadaptive solutions to the problems of sustainable development.4 An important focus of sustainability is on the need for engineers to not only practicesustainability but also promote sustainability through sustainable
, Participation. Professional Learning1. IntroductionThis research paper provides findings from implementing the Professional Development or PDmodel of the NSF-awarded project “Let’s Talk Code”. The goal of these PD workshops was toincrease teacher’s confidence and capability in integrating culturally relevant computing andcoding experiences within their curriculum and instruction. Here, we set our focus on the impactof the PD. Through the PD, teachers were engaged in computing and coding professionaldevelopment via Code.org. The teachers were then asked to apply what they learned aboutcoding by developing and implementing culturally relevant computing and coding experiencesfor their students. Here, we share early findings from three of the teacher

focusing on developing an embedded system curriculum with the follow-ing innovative features: (a) an interdisciplinary curriculum and (b) integration of research resultsinto teaching. The design of embedded systems requires knowledge from many different disci-plines. For this purpose, we have designed a sequence of interdisciplinary courses for impartingembedded systems design education. The course entitled “Real-time Systems Theory” is a part ofthis curriculum. This course directly imports ideas developed as part of our research in embeddedsystems. The aim of this course is to provide students with a strong theoretical foundation fordesigning and analyzing embedded systems. This paper will present the motivation for designingthis course, the

The course has been determined to achieve the outcomes of the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DISJ) requirement for the University core curriculum. To our knowledge, this is the only required engineering class that is also approved for satisfying a campus-wide, core curriculum diversity requirement. The new outcomes include that by the end of the course, the students will: o Have critically reflected on, compared, contrasted, and articulated their own unearned advantage (privilege) and disadvantage in relation to their immersion experience with users. o Be able to use

inthe engineering curriculum, the projects were completed in single classes.In this study, a PBL approach is implemented by developing projects in a series of requiredcourses in a Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The projects assigned in each course are relatedand planned to build up the knowledge and skills needed to develop a successful senior designproject or capstone project. In implementing the approach, the instructor identifies the topic orproblem to be proposed as a senior design project. In the first of the sequential courses, anexperimental measurements laboratory course, a project is assigned regarding a sensor that couldbe used in the senior design project. In the second of the sequential courses, a thermal-fluidslaboratory course
