1004, Introduction to Engineering and Design, is Polytechnic University's introduction toselected aspects of the history, philosophy, methodology, tools, and contemporary topics inengineering. It includes a weekly lab component that introduces basic engineeringexperimentation and data analysis. The course is composed of a weekly three hour lab, a twohour recitation and a one hour lecture.In the spring of 1998, with Gateway Coalition support, an applied writing component was addedto the existing EG program to help students develop the writing skills needed in the technicalprofessions. A writing consultant is assigned to each section. They design the writing curriculum,provide weekly instruction in a selected writing topic, and grade student

As a result of this research, NEEDS is experimenting with a variety ofon-line services that can develop and support emerging communities among the faculty who areinterested in interacting with one another in order to better use instructional technology and newpedogogies in their classrooms.In this paper, we discuss research on the potential impact of Web-based learning communitiesfor faculty who are interested in engineering education. This research has been used in the designof the architecture necessary for NEEDS to provide and support this service.I.

students access live solar energy data from theirlaptop or smart phone. A preliminary evaluation of the educational impact shows that studentsnot only gained an appreciation for solar energy, but they had confidence in their ability todevelop innovative ideas for improving solar panel performance.Energy TransformationEngineers should have technical expertise, but also the ability to work with new and “uncertain”information, collaborate, and solve open-ended problems [1]. In order to make it a reality, aninstitutional transformation of university teaching is essential [2] – [5]. That is the motivationbehind an energy transformation project underway in an undergraduate Engineering Technologyprogram. The goal is a new energy systems curriculum that
future. VRML or Virtual Reality ModelingLanguage is one of the many potential educational tools on the Internet. It is theacknowledged three dimensional web standard for visualization. It allows the viewer toexamine the model at different angles and at different distances, all within a web browser.Animations, sounds and interactivity are also possible with VRML.This paper describes the application of VRML and the imparting of manufacturingeducation to engineering students using the Internet. Good engineering programs aregenerally too complex to use, too costly and not widely available for engineeringeducation. Engineering Design Graphics and Manufacturing Processes are generallycompulsory courses in both the Aerospace and Mechanical engineering

The manufacturing companies that sponsorthis project are very “pro-education” have agreed to support this project partly because theyknow that they are “data rich and analysis poor.” Because they already own the manufacturingequipment and computers needed, the cost of passing data on to the university is small.Furthermore, they appreciate the benefits of a solution that is very portable. It can be readilyused at other manufacturing sites and by other educational institutions.For many years, students in geology, archeology, etc. have gone on field trips where they collectsamples and perform analysis.
