These barriersinclude the time investment required, travel, cost, as well as emotional barriers which manyadults experience when contemplating a return to school [24]. Addressing these barriers isdiscussed using

This paper details how our workflow anddatabase are tailored for our disciplinary and institutional culture.At the University of Washington’s Office for the Advancement of Engineering Teaching &Learning (ET&L), we focus our efforts primarily on sustained, individual consultationrelationships with educators, and SGID-style formative course assessments are central to theserelationships.

First, the number of creditsrequired in general education courses versus the number of credits required for graduation with adegree in engineering was examined to see if the sample of schools used for the present study iscomparable to the schools studied in previous surveys. Second, the outcomes and goals of theliberal education programs were examined to determine any emerging consensus of themes.Third, individual courses and curricular groupings of courses were examined to see how theliberal education outcomes are supported by actual coursework. Fourth, the outcomes andobjectives of engineering programs were examined to observe possible connections between theinstitution’s objectives and the program’s outcomes.The

SystemAbstractAffordable computing power and open source hardware have provided many opportunities toenhance STEM education for students. Consequently, numerous electronic retailers offer a diversearray of electronic or educational kits, however without a structured pedagogical framework,students without any prior experience simply learn how to interact with individual componentsand miss out on how they can be integrated into a system. In this paper, we present our experiencein implementing a freshman mechanical engineering course focused on the following mainobjectives: 1) promoting a computation mindset, 2) providing opportunities to develop essentialtroubleshooting skills of hardware and software programs, 3) encouraging programmingmultilingualism and 4

Developing an Educational Process for an Engineering Technology Program Henry Kraebber, Nancy Denton, John Hartin Purdue UniversityAbstract The new criteria for engineering technology accreditation by ABET known as TC2Khave been evolving for several years. The TC2K criteria create an outcomes-based assessmentprocess rather than the traditional input-based ABET assessment process. There are fundamentalchanges in the accreditation criteria that make them significantly different. These changeswarrant a new design of the processes used to prepare for accreditation. These new processesmust clearly define and embed quality and self-assessment into engineering
implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)require that both science and engineering content be delivered in K-12 classrooms. Furthermore,this content must be delivered as students engage in science and engineering practices, and mustpoint toward larger principles known as cross-cutting concepts that span multiple scientific andengineering disciplines.As part of the NURTURES program, a 5 year project funded by a NSF Math-SciencePartnership, we have developed and delivered summer institutes for PK-3 teachers to improvethe quality of science and engineering education in early childhood classrooms and to facilitatethe implementation of the NGSS in an urban school system.

Program (ChiS&E) was established inJanuary, 2008 with the objective of increasing knowledge, skills and interest in scienceand technology among African American and Latino students to prepare them for theSTEM workforce of the future. Founded by Kenneth Hill, the program took itsinspiration from and was modeled on the successful Detroit Area Pre-CollegeEngineering Program (DAPCEP) he co-founded in 1976 and led for more than 28 years.The ChiS&E program goals were: 1. Increase the knowledge, skills, and interest of K–4th grade students from underrepresented population groups in STEM fields; 2. Increase parents’ knowledge and skills in science and engineering along with their capacity to support their children in pursuing education
the clinical departments in the School, both in research and in training students.While reaping the benefits of this close association with clinical medicine, the program has beenlacking many of the advantages of traditional engineering culture. The formation of an inter-institutional bridge between the School of Medicine at UNC-CH and the College of Engineeringat NC State, as a natural foundation for education and research in biomedical engineering, hasclear and compelling advantages for both intuitions, their faculty, their students and the publicthey serve.

However, the main focus andoutline of the topics that are necessary to cover at this level stay the same.During a traditional prerequisite flow for computer engineering students in an undergraduatecurriculum, students tend to study microcontroller topics in a standard order and transition. AtThe University of Alabama, students begin their work toward designing microcontroller systemsin ECE 285, which covers C programming. Students then continue their work towardmicrocontroller systems in the ECE 380 course. This course covers such topics as numbersystems, Boolean algebra
