Regardless of their chosen field of study and ultimate jobupon graduation, it is almost certain that they will encounter the Internet of Things during theirengineering careers. This paper describes an effort to introduce the Internet of Things to afreshman-level engineering course at Louisiana Tech University that allows the students tounderstand and experience some of the technology involved in this phenomenon. By adding asmall amount of additional hardware to the existing Arduino microcontroller platform already inuse in our year-long engineering course sequence, students are able to apply techniques theyhave already learned to implement a WiFi module and send data to a database. They are alsoable to open a

Even for those with a more conventionalcareer path, entrepreneurial skills and an entrepreneurial way of looking at problems will helpthem to maximize their professional success.Of course, practically all engineering programs are already overloaded with critical learningobjectives ranging from highly technical skills to highly interpersonal and communication skills.As a result, it can be a great challenge to find an opportunity to incorporate even a small amountof entrepreneurship into an existing engineering curriculum.The authors present an ongoing effort at their university to integrate entrepreneurial projects andmodules directly into required ECE courses in all four years of the curriculum. The effort
steadily increasing, universities must updatetheir curricula to cope with the increased demands of research and development required inindustry. By integrating digital design competitions into the undergraduate experience, studentsare better prepared to enter the field of engineering and make more meaningful contributions totheir firms at an earlier rate.Trying to address the current and future needs of the industry in the context of a global economy,instructors at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania and Rose Hulman Institute ofTechnology, USA, have integrated an annual Digital Design Competition open to engineeringstudents from the above mentioned majors. Competitions at both schools have been sponsored byDigilent and Xilinx. These

An educational partnership between Lake Superior State University and AppliedManufacturing Technologies has quickly expanded to include many other partners such as BoschRexroth and Siemens. The paper discusses the technology used in designing the portable roboticworkcell as well as the capstone design course in detail.IntroductionIn the past few decades, robotics technology has seen rapid improvement in response to agrowing demand for automated system design. As advanced camera technologies continue toemerge, vision based robotic automation remains to be one of the most popular fields in research,development

Engineering haveplaced an emphasis on the need to better prepare engineering and science professionals to worksuccessfully within the team-based structures of today’s organizations. Additionally, engineeringcurriculum experts have called for the inclusion of leadership and managerial decision makingtraining for engineers within graduate and undergraduate programs. To address this need, wehave developed lecture and laboratory material that directly examines the social and politicalaspects of engineering through the use of experimentation, data analysis, and computersimulation.This material was used in a new interdisciplinary junior level course with approximately 30students from a wide range of disciplines. Using a modular format we examined concepts

In our implementation, a continuation of a project from a previous year would short circuit the educational value of the problem definition stage. Instead, four mechanisms have been established by which projects may continue. First, summer funds have been made available to rising sophomores or juniors wishing to work on a biomedical design project. Second, students may continue a project as an independent study for course credit. Third, a project may be refer to a state-funded Small Business Development Center (SBDC) located at our institution.

new venues in the transfer of technology to Less Developed Countries (LDCs). Thecapability to transfer scientific or technological resources to these countries can indeed affectother issues that LDCs are facing today. The issues concerned here are engineering educationwhich in turn affects a number of other capabilities such as manufacturing, commerce, military,and industrialization. Indirect effects of such changes could bring about unforeseen social andpolitical changes in these LDCs.Engineering education and benefits of e. learningEngineering schools universally have a common objective. The objective is to turn out graduateswith strong backgrounds in basic engineering and science, who can continue to learn on their ownafter they graduate
