Session 1430 Keys To Success: Self-Directed Learning Sharon Fellows, Richard Culver, William Beston SUNY-Binghamton/Broome Community CollegeIntroductionEvery study of engineering education and the skills required of practicing engineers lists life-long learning (LLL) as a necessary ingredient. And yet, there has been little developed in theway of formal preparation for engineering students so that they will become life-long learners.In fact, the loaded curriculum presented in most engineering programs works against developingthe learning skills and love of learning required to be a successful LLL

Finally, through this preliminaryinvestigation, we hoped to learn more about how the diverse problem solving styles of ourstudents impact their performance and learning experiences – or, at the very least, to uncover Page 14.613.3directions for future research in this area.To these ends, we analyzed A-I cognitive style data (collected using KAI over a 6-year period)for 363 students enrolled in a required core course within our Systems Engineering curriculum.This course is also an elective for

Artificial intelligence (AI)holds promise in addressing these issues. Yet, the specific impact of AI on K-12 CS education hasto be discussed. Existing reviews have focused on the broad spectrum of AI applications ineducation, with relatively little focus on topics related to CS education and programminginstruction, with most of these studies focusing on a single type of AI, such as automatedevaluation systems or visual programming, and failing to fully cover the various categories of AI,including machine learning, deep learning, and robotics, especially in the K-12

Furthermore, it was apparent thatBaylor University’s engineering students, while studying the technical engineering topics in thecurriculum, were also unaware of the challenges ahead in the area of energy. This paper examinesthe development of an "energy literacy" class designed for incoming freshmen in all disciplines.Many students do not know their major as incoming freshmen but they may have an interest in thearea of energy regardless of major.

This may seem to be a simple task for those who were raised inenvironments that cultivated the behavior of following instructions, but those individuals areusually well past the time of sitting in classrooms as students. It is definitely the college-agestudent that we must be concerned with along with their atrophied skills.Beginning StepsEven if many universities do not admit students to formal engineering programs until their junioryear, most of these engineering schools provide some mechanism for students who have decidedupon an engineering career as they enter the university.

Thecase studies presented in this paper can be used as a real-life examples in the class. It can alsobe a regular topic of research for graduate students. The manufacturing industry, invariablyhave real problems related to robust design. If the projects conducted at the University arelinked to the needs of a local industry, the students will get additional opportunity to work onpractical problems and solve real life challenges posed by the industry.ConclusionsThe products and/or services are developed to be more sustainable
