projectwith two objectives: to identify the student and workforce learning characteristics in general, andto conduct an assessment of the current technology skills and knowledge of construction andengineering students and professional workers. These baseline data are being used to identify theneeds of technology education for the construction workforce. More importantly, these findingsare guiding the design and testing of prototypical technology-enhanced learning. This paperpresents our initial findings from engineering students in our on-going research on effectivepedagogy for technology-based construction education. In the paper, we will describe the designof the baseline data collection instruments that assess student technology skills and use of

With such a powerful tool, students can enhance their problem solving skills andunderstand the concepts of mechanism design better along the way.The course of Advanced Computer-Aided Design offered at Central Michigan Universityemploys such a design tool called SDRC/I-DEAS. Although this software is sophisticated interms of capabilities, it is not difficult to learn due to its visual feedback at every step. This iscrucial for students in engineering technology who learn best when they can see things and workwith them. The capability of animation provided by the software stimulates great interests fromstudents. This article discusses how the animation is used to help students

Creating a "Global Algorithm" for Engineering EducationAbstractFor five generations American engineering education has rested upon a practical model ofdrawing a broad range of students with certain mathematical skills and wide technologicalinterests into a large-mouthed pedagogic funnel, gradually compressing their training into ever-narrower frames of specific, skill-sets and acumens. The result has been to standardize the end-products emerging from the apex of the educational funnel. Examinations and re-toolings ofengineering education have usually merely redirected the funnel with recommendations of newmethods and protocols for fine-tuning the relevance of contemporary technology to theclassroom and laboratory.
