that you are doing, and how you can communicate that well to other people who may or may not have had the same education as you. I learned that engineering encompasses many fields, from mathematics to science to ethics, and that they all blend and work together so that engineers have the knowledge and conduct to design, create, and improve our society.“The second use of NP in the course is to ask student to (try to) give up or severely limit their useof technology (not including technologies necessary for health or safety) for one day. SherryTurkle has pointed out two important aspects of students’ dependence on technology: first, thattheir “expectation of continuous connection” exposes insecurities and anxieties

This constructdraws heavily on John Dewey’s seminal work in education and experiential learning.Transformative experience has been

Tenvideos and two simulations were created by our own students as instructional aids to covermaterial not readily available through other sources. In addition, we developed a library withlinks to relevant videos and simulations posted on YouTube, access to the Kinemage5 proteinvisualization simulation, and links to videos from the textbook publishers6,7.

Students can berequired to sign, scan, and upload a document specifying the policies and sanctions for thatcourse. The LMS can be used to prove students have
Engineering Education, 2017 Philosophy and Engineering Education: Should teachers have a Philosophy of Education?Abstract. Arguments for engineering educators having a formalated philosophy ofengineering education are presented. The perspectives that a person takes to moral dilemmaswill be driven by the beliefs they have about the nature of morality and truth. Similarly, thebeliefs that a person has about the content of the curriculum, instruction and learning will, inall likelihood be founded on one of the great ‘isms of philosophy. A discussion of the debatethat followed the publication of the proposed revision of the ABET criteria is used toillustrate the argument. As would be expected at a conference such

The ultimate goal of this survey is to help inform how Making and makerspacescan best be incorporated into engineering and engineering technology education. Findings fromthis survey indicate that university makerspaces emphasize both education and entrepreneurshipin their primary uses, though they may vary in physical characteristics

Education, 2017 Using WebGL in Developing Interactive Virtual Laboratories for Distance Engineering EducationAbstractThis paper investigates the use of WebGL (Web-based Graphics Library)-based interactivegraphics technologies in realization of an immersive virtual reality (VR) platform for hands-onlaboratory instruction in distance engineering education. Realizing the fact that the Web and 3Dgraphics are currently ubiquitous in desktop and mobile devices, we present a proof-of-conceptapproach that provides an inexpensive alternative of complex and costly immersive VRsimulators. A prototype implementation of the proposed approach is also presented in order todemonstrate the convenience of VR platform in distance education in

An approach was followed based on other tests of general ability such asthe ACT Science Reasoning Test, The Law School Admission Test, The Critical ThinkingAssessment Test, and the Miller Analogies Test. These tests focus on thinking skills rather thanrecall of facts by providing data and other background information within the body of the testquestion.

Technology (SHOT) produces material that can be very useful in teaching peopleabout engineering. Museum exhibits are useful here as well. The Smithsonian Institution’sAmerican History and Air and Space Museum, the Air Force Museums in Dayton, Ohio, and atWarner-Robbins AFB in Georgia, the Aviation Museum in Seattle, and the Space and RocketCenter in Huntsville, Alabama, are all good examples. While local and regional science centerssuch as the Adventure Science Center in Nashville, Tennessee, emphasize programs for K-12,they can be part of broader efforts.The need for an introduction to engineering and technology to be part of a college education isclear.

Especially STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) or STEAM (add Arts into STEM) education originally from the US gives us avery valuable reference and inspiration. Over twenty years before, many countries such as theUS, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etc, issued successively corresponding policies andstandards for STEM education, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of science educationand the combination of science, technology and engineering practice. Furthermore, SeymourPapert, the inventor of LOGO computer language, who is also thought as the father of themaker movement, has advocated a
