suggests that for more complicated setups, or perhaps with greaterstudent maturity and understanding, the remote accessibility may become more attractive. Theseresults are also to be examined using the MARS manipulator setup.7. Conclusions and Future WorkEngineering education continues to progress alongside with the advancement oftelecommunications. Hence, there is a need for developing educational means that facilitate suchan emergence. In the field of robotics, a remotely-accessible, reconfigurable manipulatorplatform would be an asset for teaching the related theoretical and practical notions. The MARSManipulator platform, as discussed in this paper, allows students to access and experiment withvarious configurations of serial-link manipulators

The essential aspect of industry experience is a result of the appliedscience nature of construction management education. 6 The importance is reflected not only injob postings but also in accrediting body requirements. Both the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) and the American Council for Construction Education(ACCE) note that faculty in construction engineering and construction engineering programsshould have relevant professional experience. 1, 2 In fact, ABET considers this one of the ways inwhich faculty demonstrate their competence. 1This current demand on faculty for

If teachers are to help students meet thesebenchmarks, they must have a comprehensive understanding of the broadspectrum of technology from how things work and why to the socio-economic,environmental implications and ethical questions related to the use of technology.In most universities in the United States the preparation of teachers is perceivedas the domain of colleges of education. However, the expertise in “technologicalliteracy” is multi disciplinary thereby offering opportunities for collaboration withpotential for enriching undergraduate and professional preparation of futureteachers.

For example, McClelland et al,reported on an educational collaboration among nursing students and engineeringstudents to explore the development of assistive device technology to improve the healthof disabled individuals.7 In fact, prior research suggests that engineering and nursingshare a need for learning ‘practice’ through doing in three areas, namely: a) anintellectual or cognitive apprenticeship; b) a skill-based

education. The class allows a student to participate in research and learn about a newsubject. Many engineering students seldom take a biology course while in college simplybecause it is not a requirement. Nevertheless, having knowledge of biology is important and canopen new doors for a person’s career. Mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineers can allbenefit from taking a course that teaches them about protein structure and gene annotation. Theymay even discover a new interest or career path.The gene annotation project requires that the student identify the coordinates of all the exons intheir assigned genes. By doing so, the students learn a great deal about genetics and becomefamiliar with genomics vocabulary. They also learn how to use
autistic students. STEM technology is, for the most part, not designed to reflectneeds for autistic users or to scaffold how they begin using the technology in a way that supportsCT and IEP skills.It is not enough to give autistic students access to CT and robotics. Just as curricula for coreacademics and other subjects should be designed to reflect the needs of autistic students,programs that teach CT robotics should also take into account these considerations. Interactionsshould be scaffolded so that they build on their strengths, address their needs, and lead themtoward independence. Since educators have first-hand experience working with their students, itis important that they be part of the development of materials that are for autistic
