The problems cover a wide variety of topics in construction, communication,manufacturing, and transportation technology. The competition engages students in hands-on,problem-based learning and is based upon fundamental science, mathematics, and technologyconcepts” 12.The study used a modified Delphi method for identifying the quality indicators of supplementaltechnology education visual-based learning material for the

well as for practicing engineering that is aware and responsive to its social context. Here wepresent the cases of five students to demonstrate not simply the students’ unique FoKs, but theirrelevance for engineering and engineering education.FoKs in choosing engineering: BrianBrian explained his identification with the LIFG category by stating that unlike the “19-year-oldswho drive Beamers to school and don’t have to pay for their education or work I have to work ifI want to eat.” He came to engineering in his late 20s with a long history of manual and servicework experience and a degree in marketing. His father was an electrician, and his mother was asecretary. Because they never had extra money growing up, he learned from a young age how

engineering and arts education project that we’ve named Convergence.The project, made up of a multi-disciplinary and multi-national faculty and student team,involves the design and manufacture of 100 smart LED lighted miniature vessels that float downa river with two different colors, eventually mixing together and changing to the same colorfurther downstream. The convergence of the vessels themselves is symbolic of the convergenceof the disciplines and nationalities of the people who designed and built the project andindicative of how combining engineering with the arts can help impart a social message – theneed for convergence in a disparate world.The rest of the paper is organized as follows. We begin by introducing the origin of the projectidea

The strength of the innovation and leadershipcapacity of America’s professional engineering base in our civilian, aerospace, and defense industries is acritical asset in our global economic recovery. As with other learned professions, there are progressiveskill sets and actions that must be learned or developed at the advanced levels of the practice ofengineering.

The faculty members involved believe that it is a successfuleducational forum to explore the ethical aspects of globalization, design, humanitarianengineering and social entrepreneurship. Developing these competencies and mindsets is a long-term process and can involve a continuum of educational experiences ranging from intimate andprolonged stays abroad to virtual global engagement on campus – as modeled by

, 3D simulation, and online/remotelearning continue to transform the educational landscape [32], [41]–[43], the CLICK approachwill align even more naturally with these evolving course structures. In this work, a 3Dsimulation learning module is used as a second course of an operations research course in the IEcurriculum. The simulation environment mimics a real-life manufacturing setting for a tablelamp manufacturing assembly facility. However, the module can be used in different coursesacross the IE curriculum to transfer and connect systems concepts. The CLICK approach aims toimprove students’ motivation, engineering identity, and conceptual understanding by providing aconnection of concepts taught in the course to real-life scenarios. The

This funding was supplemented in August 1995 when Global E 3 received a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), which provided additionaladministrative support, as well as funds for scholarships, international curriculum development,language programs, and a one-time summer program called “I SEE IT (International SummerEngineering Education and Industry Tour).” The I SEE IT program resulted from suggestions atthe March 1997 Annual Meeting of Global E 3 members, where it was suggested that IIE conducta short ‘sampler program’ of participating countries for students between their freshman andsophomore years.

The program also supports STEM learning in general, evaluation ofNSF-ATE initiatives, and technician-related educational research (ATE Central, n.d.). In 2015,NSF-ATE initiatives, which are pilot tests of a wide array of curricula and pedagogicalinnovations, educated 112,010 students, developed 2,530 curriculum materials, and offered 2,120professional development opportunities (Wilson, Wingate, Lee, & Gullickson, 2016).The unique project is

I will continue what I have been doing. As far as expecting quality, my score was very high. I still feel that the quality we are churning out is lower than it should be. I will try to maintain this level of quality that I expect nonetheless and not subside.

universities have been working on the creation of portablelaboratories that students can take home and conduct experiments as if they were in a traditionallaboratory.In this article, we present in detail the process carried out by a group of researchers from auniversity in the Dominican Republic for the creation of a portable electrical engineeringlaboratory that incorporates many the necessary equipment for a laboratory of this type. Thecreation of this laboratory emerged as a Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) projectthat was financed in the period 2018-2021 by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science andTechnology (MESCyT) in collaboration with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science &Technology (KAIST) and the Korea
the changing engineering and engineering technology curriculum,there has also been a long-standing call to strengthen engineering and technology educators’capabilities and preparation to perform the task of educating students. This latter call, however,had remained virtually unanswered for more than a century. A recent response to this call isSPEED: Strengthening the Performance of Engineering and Engineering Technology Educatorsacross the Disciplines. SPEED is a concept for a formal, nationally recognized continuingeducation program for engineering and technology educators being developed with the supportof the ASEE. In the introductory part of this paper, the authors briefly present an overview ofprevious work which has led to the
engineering decisions, but rather a morerealistic emphasis on the limits of rational reasoning and a more holistic picture of engineeringdecision-making as a synergistic combination of intuitive and rational reasoning. The secondtheme provides insight into the types of decisions or context where intuition is most apparent andnecessary. These include complex and real-world decisions where the decision maker wouldnever be able to get all the data needed to make the decision with strictly rational methods. Assuch, we recommend that engineering educators consider where in their curriculum students areprovided opportunities to engage in such decisions (e.g. cornerstone or capstone design) andpurposefully integrate intuitive reasoning into these spaces
