Toolkit: The toolkit is a set of related and reusable library classes designed to provide general-purpose functionality. It is comprised of utility items like graphs, calculators, integration routines, etc. In addition, users of the framework are free to create any additional tools that are essential for their subject specific needs. In this manner the toolkit will continue to evolve over time. The choice of the developer of these tools depends on the level of complexity involved in the particular tool. In some cases, it might be sufficient to provide students with detailed

At the start, the paper provides an overview of relevant benchmarks ofengineering education in the Region. Then, relates author’s preliminary findings onteaching/learning practices in engineering colleges of the Region, sheds light on the pros andcons of the lecture format, and examines the literature on meanings and substance ofdifferent active learning protocols focusing on cooperative engagement strategies. Thepaper, also, sheds light on: theoretical roots, research support, current practices, andsuggestions for redesigning classes, if need be, to stimulate interaction and help

We knew the targeted respondents for our survey. Theinformation we were to derive from them was intended to be a fair illustration of the ATE projectsites represented by this specific group of people. This article is presented as a brief look at what happened on the communications front ofthis evaluative effort. We thought it would be useful for our future survey efforts to track thesteps we took and the amount and nature of messages and
advantage over theother two standard forms of this equation for the solution of some dynamics problems. 3. With some further examples, guidance, and practice, I believe that I could effectively applythe alternative form of Euler’s equation to solve certain dynamics problems. 4. Although ENGR 212 has been a challenging course in my engineering degree program, Ihave enjoyed learning the basic concepts and principles of introductory dynamics. 5. I am interested in taking a higher-level dynamics course, as an elective engineering course,after I have completed ENGR 212. Table 1.

This worldviewhelps me engage in reflective exercises to acknowledge and respect other realities separate frommy constructions of them. Being explicit about my worldviews and the multiple truths that cansimultaneously exist has helped reconcile my desire to support more thriving engineeringstudents who may experience lived realities incongruent with mine. With this approach towardthe research collaboration, I hope to understand and empower people who may otherwise feelmisunderstood and disenfranchised in the engineering
important factor is the utilization ofcomputing, specifically digital information. This skill is no longer the sole purview of backroomanalysts and computer programmers. From health care professionals and educators to scientistsand engineers, every 21st century professional will be working with digital information. Theutilization of this information is studied within the field of informatics (information +automatic). While several informatics degree programs and areas of study are emerging atuniversities around the country, no such training exists at the secondary school level. This is aserious omission. Just as 21st century professionals will need to utilize digital information, so willstudents studying for those professions. We teach all high

participants are encouraged to practice during the course of the workshop,then try to implement these skills in their own classes at their home institutions. To date, over400 faculty members have attended an ExCEEd teaching workshop, and most participants willagree that these workshops have helped them become better teachers. Although it is sponsoredby ASCE, and presented as “excellence in civil engineering education”, the techniques andprinciples presented by the ExCEEd program are universal to best practices of teaching,regardless of the subject matter being presented. In this paper, we will present several of the bestpractices from the ExCEEd teaching methodology and show how they’ve been integrated into ajunior-level biomaterials class offered for

-inspired global optimizationtechnique called particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used as the principal algorithm. Eachrobot was placed in pre-defined positions with a target position corresponding to a single target.The robots were programmed to search in spirals until the target was found by any one of therobots. Once the target was detected the robots attempted to reach the target using the PSOalgorithm. Results were encouraging. The high school students were wholly responsible for allprogramming and experimental tasks and got an immersive experience of a real-time cutting-edge engineering research application.IntroductionRobotics is viewed as a relatively new and exciting field that has the potential to significantlyimpact the nature of
studies with interactive discussions. Theworkshop content, resources, and activities can be used for other groups. For example, at RIT theSoftware Engineering department offers elements of this workshop to students in their freshmenseminar. Elements of the workshop have been used by the Advocates & Allies program at RIT todevelop men as allies for gender equity among faculty by developing an understanding ofunconscious bias and the role it manifests in the equity and inclusion of diverse individuals.However such training often focuses on individual behaviors and judgments. A focus onchanging structures, such as academic policies, can have a more profound impact in preventingor minimizing the impact of unconscious biases.References1. E
