Unfortunately, most students lack the financial means to have such anexperience outside the classroom. Jones and Oberst describe activities to internationalizecurricula in their keynote paper at the 3rd UCIEE Annual Conference on Engineering Education.They state that they “see too little movement toward better preparing college graduates for theinternational challenge.”1 They highlight some successful programs for study abroad, findingthe programs “quite expensive, again limiting the number of

Designing a Zero-Waste Concrete Mix Testing Lab James A. Lee1 Michael J. D’Agostino2Abstract – A zero waste laboratory to mix and test the engineering and performance properties of concrete wasdesigned and tested at Wentworth Institute of Technology. To achieve the design, recycling and reuse opportunitieswere developed for both plastic and hardened concrete used from testing as well as other residual aggregate solids.Processed water waste was minimized by the design of a settling and filtration recycling system. Both reductions inraw material consumption and economic savings realized by avoiding waste streams were measured in the study.The laboratory is used extensively by students preparing for

Understand the challenges associated with deployment of WSN. Typically, the students are provided with a Vagrant file at the start of the course. The Vagrant file enables them to install a Linux environment on their machines that can run the Contiki-NG development suite. During the setup phase, they receive extensive in- person support and documentation to navigate the environment. Upon completion of the installation, they receive physical TelosB motes to start programming. In the online modality of the course, the students were provided with

For humanity, it isimportant to fulfill this demands to provide a basic quality of life for people [3]. Engineers aredeveloping sustainable solutions for the lack of access to these basic needs and are applying it incommunities around the world [4]. This is known as the Humanitarian Engineering (HE)concept. Today, HE projects are developed as a modern concept of engineering education.

their effectiveness in guiding students.Conclusions Several key recommendations emerge that are aimed at enhancing undergraduate researchmentorship in engineering education. Institutions must provide comprehensive facultydevelopment programs that cover both the technical and interpersonal sides of researchmentorship. These programs should include training in effective communication andundergraduate research mentoring methods. Getting first and second-year students involved earlyon is especially beneficial for building solid research skills and keeping students engaged. Creatingpeer mentoring networks could also make a big difference, offering additional support andguidance for students. Regularly assessing these mentorship development

simulations have been developed that deliver very strong positive impact onusers[2-7].The authors of this paper have been working for several years to develop applications of VR toundergraduate chemical engineering education[8-12], with goals that include the determinationof the optimal applicability of VR to undergraduate engineering education. Among the findingsis the conclusions that VR is best used in situations where the real thing is unavailable ( due tophysical, economic, logistical, or other constraints ), and in which 3-D viewing and/or a sense ofpresence provide significant benefits. One area that fits these criteria extremely well is the areaof safety, wherein hazardous environments can be safely “experienced” using VR. This paperdescribes
