A summary of the research findings onengineering education by The Royal Academy of Engineering shows that “the funding andranking-driven focus on research” in many universities is considered as a constraint in developinginnovative learning and teaching [1]. Furthermore, the changing world demands today’s studentsto have some research skills [8], while considering that “The single most desirable attribute inrecruiting engineer graduates is their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real industrialproblems” [1]. Other attributes include theoretical understanding, creativity and innovation, teamworking, technical breadth and business

There has been a long history of efforts1,2 in incorporating human factors inengineering education, such as teaching ergonomics in product and space design.However, this idea and practice has not been widely implemented in the area of firescience and engineering education: little or limited emphasis of human factors is includedin current curriculum. In fact, human behavior in fire is at the core of all fire safetyregulations, projects and service actions. It is the basis of various engineering solutionsfor fire safety.

This paper presents the use ofGeoGebra an easy to use and freely available online drawing tool to teach phasor diagrams toundergraduate electrical and mechanical engineering students. The use of GeoGebra in teachingStatics and Mechanics course topics has been published and appreciated[2, 3]. This paper willpresent the use of GeoGebra in drawing phasor diagrams of AC circuits containing resistors,capacitors, and inductors. A distinct and important advantage of the use of GeoGebra in drawingphasor diagrams over hand-drawn phasor diagrams is that GeoGebra allows the student tomanipulate the phasor diagrams to test their

Since there are no commerciallyavailable remotely controlled robotic arms, and because of the high cost of robotic arms, studentsand researchers are often unable to test their programs on real robots. By applying the followingconcept of a remotely-controlled robotic arm, the universities already equipped with industrialrobots can share existing resources with other universities to teach programming of industrialrobots. Using this developed system, to allow the remote access to the physical robot, interestedparties can test their programs on a real robotic arm instead of simply working in roboticsimulation environments.To achieve this goal, a three-part system has been designed

the major concerns in engineering education3,7.Hence, exploring better strategies to assign homework or alternatives that can replace homeworkhas become a hot research topic. Some strategies that can be used when students have access tosolution manuals include8-11: 1) creating customized homework/quiz; 2) lowering the weight ofhomework in the overall grade; and 3) using online software that is able to randomly change thenumerical numbers in the questions and grade homework automatically. But all these strategieshave their own drawbacks. For example, creating customized homework is very effective butrequires a significant amount of time, and thus, it is hard for faculty to implement given theirresearch and/or other teaching responsibilities
