These include identified pre-engineering content, richproblem solving and design activities, authentic applications contexts for mathematics andscience content and engineering career awareness. In these respects, ProBASE is being designedto serve as a model for advanced high school level pre-engineering education.A more serious challenge remains. University level engineering educators need to find ways tobetter collaborate with university and K-12 educators to evolve a vision for pre-engineering, K-12 education. For university engineering educators, this will involve a fundamental rethinking ofthe skills and knowledge base needed for entrance into engineering programs
differentcollaboration tools and found that Microsoft® NetMeeting® served our purpose quite well(NetMeeting comes free with Windows). Most desktop conferencing tools, includingNetMeeting, provide audio and video conferencing over the Internet. However, even with ourT1-like speed we found these features difficult to use. For audio connection we foundspeakerphones at both ends to be the ideal solution. We gave up on Internet-based videoconferencing. Although it was interesting to see the participants through the camera,transmission delays and jerky pictures were distracting. During our desktop conferences we usedNetMeeting’s shared whiteboard, shared applications, and remote desktop control features fordisplaying diagrams and code listings.Internet

Grounded in the theory of UniversalInstructional Design, these wordlists can be integrated into a syllabus and then be used as ateaching aid to promote an accessible engineering education. The goal is to reduce barriers tolearning by developing an explicitly-identified and robust list of vocabulary for all students in agiven course. Creating an automated program that improves vocabulary information over timekeeps it relevant and usable by instructors as well as students.Presently, there is no automated method to develop course-specific vocabulary lists. To fill thisgap, the authors have created a computer program, using a repository of over 2200 engineeringexams since the year 2000 from the University of Toronto, which

Thereis a need, especially in diverse populations, to show first-year students that calculus and physics-based skills can be leveraged to create these solutions. Recently, the Internet of Things (IoT)movement has driven a cost reduction in intelligent network connected devices. IoT devices pro-vide an accessible platform for using engineering to solve new and exciting real-world problems. Itis hoped that by teaching the skills to connect electronics, programming, social media, and phone-based control with real-world physical solutions, students will gain a glimpse of the possibilitiesan engineering education provides. In addition, these useful and relevant skills may lead to height-ened

The personalization of web seversallows an instructor to install the CF Application Server to his or her own PC, to developinteractive a program, and to run these applications individually. One of the manyadvantages of using CFML applications is that deployment of interactivity developed byCFML is independent of the system main server of the Internet or Intranet to which thePC belongs. The present paper is to demonstrate how to use CFML to extend theknowledge of HTML to develop interactive applications for online assignments (e.g.,tests, examinations, quizzes, projects and

. Plug-ins are programs that enable the viewing of non-HTML content in the browser. Toview VRML files, a VRML helper application or a plug-in is needed. For this study, a specialkind of plug-in (ParallelGraphic’s Cortona) was used to view the VRML files. The programming language used to control the VRML file and perform the calculationsrequires seamless integration with the Internet and the web browser. These requirements aresatisfied by the Java programming language developed by the Sun Microsystems.
