predictive maintenance using FPGAs. Byequipping learners with practical experience in developing, deploying, and analyzing thesesystems, educational institutions can better prepare the future workforce to meet the demands ofIndustry 4.0. FPGAs enable rapid data processing and support graphical representation of machinehealth, anomaly detection, and predictive outcomes. Engineering students gain hands-onexperience designing systems that require precise timing and data flow management, skills criticalin both mechanical and electrical engineering.This study involves the development of educational modules that simulate real-world predictivemaintenance scenarios.

ApplicationsThe Bar Association controls lawyers, a Professional Engineers License (P.E.) registers designers,and the American Institute of Constructors (AIC) regulates a Certified Professional Constructor(CPC). These are just a sampling of the professional organizations with requirements forcontinuing education of adults in industry. Apprenticeship programs in union and non-unionorganizations also have programs that are continually instructing adults. The traditional programsare thought of as years of hands on training in the areas of welding, safety or craftsmanship, butnew programs also include a curriculum that can be articulated with an Associate Degree at acollege. Today’s employers are encouraging education and have incentives to attain a

addition to converting to the new format, the digital faculty took this opportunity to re-order our twoofferings at the sophomore level. All freshmen in the College of Engineering take (or place out of) anelementary programming course. Prior to the fall semester of 1995, sophomores in electrical engineering,computer engineering, and computer science then took a course in logic circuits followed by a course inassembly language programming. Our experience was that virtually none of the material from logic circuits Page 1.465.1was ever used in the subsequent course, and that there was very little motivation for the students to learn it
for conducting research interviews, highlighting theimportance of careful evaluation and skill development among new and established researchersalike. While there is an abundance of literature and resources on designing interview protocolsfor research, there is limited empirical or theoretical literature available that focuses on teachingand developing research interview skills. What resources do exist are mostly concentrated inclinical or applied research disciplines such as healthcare [2], social work [3], and humanresource management [4], and these are often patient- or candidate-facing interviews whichfocus on evaluative goals rather than experiential.In many ways, developing interview skills emerges from the acts of reviewing, observing

For close to two decades, NASA’s engineers wereconvinced that their most efficient waste management process depended on the use ofmechanical energy. Their proposed design was called The Compress Melt Unit (CMU);however, the solution that the engineers at NASA provided came at several costs which includedbut

IntroductionTeaching is most effective and most fun when the student is properly motivated. A significantproblem in engineering education today can be motivation of students. Given that oftentimes astudents M-Q (motivation quotient) is more important to success than their I-Q (intelligenceqoutient) (Hendricks, 1987), the importance of finding ways to properly motivate students cannotbe underestimated.

construction, or plan to work in the industry. This wide range ofstudents and varying levels of experience necessitates an understanding of terminology early inthe course. The technique presented in this paper is done during the third and fourth lectureperiods to help facilitate that understanding.As this may be the only construction course that many Civil Engineering students at MichiganTech take, it was decided that the course should cover a broad range of topics that CivilEngineers would need to know. As a result there are many topics covered that may have acourse dedicated to them in other programs. These topics include a construction overview, Proceedings of the 2007 ASEE North Midwest Sectional Conference

Likewise, Hughes [4] found thatundergraduate engineering students were concerned about finding a job after graduating due tobeing openly gay and the hegemonic masculinity in engineering programs influenced studentsnegatively. Similar to LGBTQ+ students’ experiences, LGBTQ+ engineering faculty reportdiscomfort in the workplace and overt hostility toward them [5]. Notwithstanding, researchindicates that LGBQ faculty and staff play an important role in the retention of LGBQ and STEMstudents through their support and mentoring [6-7].Given the oppressive climate and discrimination that LGBTQ+ students, faculty

Hands-On Experiment Platform to Study the Power and Thermal Characteristics of Digital Systems Pong P. Chu Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH 44115, US1. Introduction When a semiconductor device operates, it consumes energy and generates heat. The powerconsumption is a key issue in today’s digital system design. In a CMOS transistor, the dynamicpower is related to the charging and discharging of the load capacitance at the gate output and isproportional to the switching frequency. The power consumption of a large digital system,which contains millions or even

Engineering Educationthat were designed to cover as much area as needed, such as rectangular, hexagonal, pentagonal,and more will be used. This would involve developing a user-friendly program that is compatiblewith a device that can autonomously capture images of a syndactylized hand. We will utilize aAutodesk Recap Photo to construct a 3D hand model using a series of pictures taken by anArduino camera. Geometric features will be extracted from defective and non-defected handmodels in Autodesk ReCap Photo and SOLIDWORKS to estimate the dimensions andconfigurations of the hand models. This is done to validate the dimensions gathered in the handmodels as a comparison. With the measurements gathered from the hand models, we canapproximate a dorsal
