After presenting thegeneric framework, we provide an early demonstration example, based on our ongoing work,involving a set of instructional design agents that scaffold divergent and convergent designsearch process in a solar farm design activity.In design education, the growing use of computer-aided-design, including open-source platformslike FreeCAD or other digital design environments (e.g17), provide an opportunity for embeddinginstructional design agents within these systems. For this work, we define intelligence and morespecifically artificial intelligence as the capability of a computer system to perform some activitytoward some goal in an uncertain environment18.

IntroductionThe curriculum of the EET program covers a broad based educational experience emphasizingpractical, hands-on laboratory work, closely coordinated with theoretical classroom discussion.Students receive a solid foundation of coursework in electric circuits, digital electronics,solid-state electronics, communications, power and electrical machinery.The EET program has developed a PEOs assessment process to fulfill ABET accreditationrequirements. It is an outcome based assessment in which the PEOs should meet the need of theprogram constituents. PEOs describe the attributes that we desire our graduates to possess three tofive years after graduation. According to ABET’s definition of PEOs, “Program EducationalObjectives are broad statement that

how I&E offerings become embedded in theengineering education experience.IntroductionAs the Greek philosopher Heraclitus proclaimed, “change is the only constant.” In anincreasingly complex global market, organizations are driven to change for survival and success(Isaksen & Lauer, 2002). Higher education institutions experience the same pressures tocontinually evolve in response to internal and external demands. The number of enrollments inhigher education is on the rise, and students and faculty are travelling further in search of newexperiences and opportunities for impact (Ashwin, 2015). A recent report also shows thatstudents themselves are changing: The “non-traditional” student (e.g., working full-time, delayedentry to college
notion that many students perceive the robots as toys,13 allowing robotics to serveas a hook for student engagement in learning. In fact, one widely used robot kit is made by LEGO,a well-known manufacturer of children’s building blocks. Students using the LEGO robot kit in aclassroom can feel entertained, recalling their joyful experiences of playing with toys at home,which can encourage them to participate in robotic-based learning activities.Even as educational robotics has been recognized as a useful resource to transform the nature andpractice of STEM education, prior empirical studies have shown that teachers are reluctant to usetechnology in their classrooms.14 In many cases, teachers do not have the knowledge on how tomeaningfully exploit
and develop new competencies to further theirtechnical professional development. This paper explores ways to effective professionaldevelopment of Region’s engineering educators to enable them to assume the roles they areentrusted with. The purpose here is to offer a new way to think about the development of theprofessional engineering educator. In this respect, the paper focuses on:(i) the cognitiveprocesses that faculty would most likely tend to follow as they grow and learn more aboutteaching and learning,(ii) the discipline-based industrial/practical experience they need to acquirein their locale to add to their repertoire as “practitioners” of engineering, and (iii) the institutionalinitiatives, including: administrative support
that fewer case would do; and some students asked thatfewer reading and writing assignments and a couple of analytical homeworks in their stead.These comments are carefully reviewed and some changes to the course are considered. Some ofthe criticism, however, reflects the diversity of interest and background of different students, and Page 22.1363.14in multidisciplinary courses such as the one here discussed, it may not be possible to tailor acourse content to satisfy everyone. One student wrote in the course evaluation, “I feel like there’sjust so much more to learn”; we consider this realization a worthy educational outcome of thecourse

, in education and in the workplace. We concludethat a new design approach to the engineering curriculum should be attempted, assuming that educatorswill systematically anticipate the future and recalibrate the curriculum. 1. IntroductionContemporary approaches to engineering have been at the heart of technological progress since theearliest days of the industrial revolution, and the principles and practices they are built on extend backthousands of years. It’s tempting therefore to assume that the foundations on which current engineeringeducation is based are as relevant now as they have been in the past. Yet a number of social, economicand technological factors are conspiring to call into question the robustness of these foundations as
students and their potentialretention of the material.1. OVERTURE: INTRODUCTION1.1 Motivation:Engineering education is transforming from a theoretical emphasis to a balance between appliedmathematics and science material and hands-on activities. Design components in courses arehelping to provide this balance. Instead of relegating design courses to the last two semesters ofan engineering program, many universities are spreading the experiences across the entire 4-5year curriculum.An example of this distribution of design courses is shown in Figure 1. This figure illustrates aspectrum of the current design education at The University of Texas (UT), Department ofMechanical Engineering. As shown in the figure, five-core courses of the curriculum

while incorporating science, technology, and mathematics to developa holistic and robust educational program. By offering hands-on experiences in 3D CAD modeling,REV Robotics, engineering design and innovation, and pinewood derby design, these programsprovide students with opportunities to engage deeply with engineering concepts that are excitingin nature while honing essential skills that enable student success in both the short and long-term.The outlined model comprises of four advanced STEM courses: i. 3D CAD Camp. In this program, students learned the basics of 3D modeling, including designing, creating, modifying, and evaluating their 3D creations; moreover, they were simultaneously linking the significance of 3D
