University of Texas at Arlington Copyright 2003, American Society for Engineering Education Difficulties EncounteredIt turned out that we encountered many difficulties during the course of the first semester.The first problem was that the university purchasing system was so slow that it seriouslyjeopardized the success of both projects. With a three-to-four week purchasing cycle formajor components, it was very difficult to allow enough time for the preliminary designstage on the front end of the project. Instead, the students were forced to jump topremature design decisions in order to get the parts into the pipeline soon enough toallow construction and testing of the product before installation in

For the project, incoming freshman will be given a plot of undeveloped land that, by the time they graduate, will be turned into a blueprint for certain segments of the city (time constraints prevent the design of an entire city). Design tasks include all facets of the traditional civil engineering program, such as site planning and layout, sewer and water infrastructure, water supply, wastewater treatment, buildings, transportation systems, channel design, floodplain analysis, and geotechnical work. A common, four-year design project unifies the curriculum and allows material learned in early courses to carry forward, unlike
for Engineering Education, 2020 A Healthcare Case-Study to Teach Simulation TechniquesAbstractComputer simulation is a proven technique in most engineering workplaces. Engineering studentsoften are required to learn and practice modeling and simulation as part of their program studies.Teaching simulation techniques may need examples from the real world to challenge learners andteach the basics of modeling, scenario development, as well as verification, and validation. Real-world examples help students better understand and analyze the simulation results, as well as maketheir learning process a joyful experience.This paper describes a simulation case-study for a drop-in healthcare center similar to anemergency room and/or urgent

The design for the vehicle originated from industry, and NASA supports theindustry proposal by funding the university for small scale construction and flight testing. Thestudents interact with both groups for direction and technical advice, which creates a tremendousamount of learning opportunities and motivation for the team. The project is organized as anextracurricular club activity that is purely voluntary and made up of students in severalengineering disciplines. The students gain practical knowledge and real world research experiencein a team-oriented systems engineering environment, all before completing their bachelors degree.IntroductionThe Aerospace Engineering Department at Cal Poly State University
Advanced Instruction & Learning (eSAIL) housed in the College ofEngineering at Texas A&M was still in start-up mode, grappling with how to offer support to allfaculty in the College of Engineering. The department's main goal was to increase enrollment inCollege of Engineering graduate programs, starting with working with departments andindividual faculty to create more online courses to grow graduate programs. Texas A&MUniversity already had an office (Academic Innovation) that focused on training andadministering the campus learning management system (LMS), Blackboard. When the decisionwas made to transition to a new LMS, and the university chose Canvas, the Academic Innovationdepartment was allowed to grow and reorganize to meet the
System.[4] This system groups majors into three tiers. Tier 1 includes engineering courses that directly relate to military operations (Systems Engineering and Civil Engineering were the only engineering disciplines excluded). Tier 2 includes all sciences and engineering majors not listed in Tier 1. Tier 3 is all the humanities, and most importantly for ERAU specifically, Homeland Security. ERAU ROTC has a large number of Cadets enrolled in the Homeland Security program and many of those Cadets are high performers focused on a long career in the military. Using a different sorting method that put Homeland Security in a separate bin may produce different results for the ERAU program. Army ROTC does not have a tiered system

While never compromising the terminal course objectivesfor any of the five first-term courses, the sequence of topics and the scope of many assignments ineach course is orchestrated to support an heuristic approach to critical thinking.I. Introduction“Industry wants students from engineering and engineering technology programs to be proficientin problem solving skills. During their educational process, these students are faced with solvinga myriad of technical problems. However, are they just learning how to solve problems, or arethey being taught how to approach the concept of problem solving?” This is a

IntroductionThe most promising feature of multimedia and network-based media is its ability to interactivelydisplay complex information or concepts in an accessible and easy-to-understand animatedgraphical form. This is obviously well suited for many educational applications, but it isparticularly attractive for use in engineering education where abstract mathematical models andfundamental physical principles must be employed to solve practical problems. One of the moredifficult issues to deal with in the engineering curriculum, especially at the introductory levels, isthis process of abstraction of real and practical

In futurework, we will survey the literature further about student reported self-efficacies and gauge otherfields in the STEM disciplines, according to teamwork self-efficacy, interest, and attitudes. Toapply our findings from our team survey in engineering courses, professors could institute morerelatable, intriguing group assignments and emphasize the importance of teamwork in theengineering discipline, so students will make an effort to be more interested and have a positiveattitude toward teamwork.V.
