The various cellcomponents are interfaced with the computer through digital and analog interface modules fromNational Instruments and is controlled using a graphical programming language calledLabVIEW. A dedicated web page was developed for the cell that allows remote users to performonline quality tests. Details pertaining to the cell and the control architecture developed toautomate the quality control task are presented in this paper. The feasibility of providing non-sitebased hands-on engineering and technology education is also explored through this project.I.

Laboratory Instruction Page 22.883.2 Introduction One of the most important challenges facing civil engineers is mitigating the severehuman and economic consequences of structural dynamic responses to various large-scaleexcitations like earthquakes, hurricanes, and blasts. As such, hazard mitigation has been animportant addition to the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum in recent years. Increasingaccess to this curriculum through emerging teleoperation and teleobservation technologies is anopportunity for innovating traditional civil engineering education.

figures come to speak to faculty was an ineffective approachThe leadership team believed that bringing in experts on issues of incorporating social content tocontextualize technical engineering content (e.g., issues of social justice in engineering) wouldadd legitimacy to their changemaking effort in the eyes of the faculty. These experts came frombackgrounds such as History, Science and Technology Studies, and an NSF officer associatedwith changemaking in engineering efforts. However, bringing in these guest authorities wasimplemented through workshops which had low faculty turnout. Within their interviews, facultydid not mention the workshops and the leadership team postulated that even with an engineeringbackground, these authorities were not

These include increasedinstructor workload and technological issues. Significant time requirements are required forinstructors to review pre-class assignments and adjust lessons plans with limited time [10]. Theincreasing use of learning management systems (LMS) enhances evaluation and turnaround time.However, technical issues (i.e., incorporating images, videos, audio, and interactive elements)and student access must be considered. In 2022-23, web-based pre-class reading responses wereimplemented in Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering, Mechanics of Materials, andEngineering Economy to

The NSC enhances dissemination of knowledge and provides alaunching platform for faculty efforts in teaching statics.I. IntroductionStatics is taught in almost all engineering and engineering technology programs (both 2 and 4-year). Thus, a large number of instructors in colleges and universities are engaged in teachingstatics. Their background, training, and ability to stay current with the teaching resourcesavailable to them vary widely. Also, there are faculty continually developing, often in isolation,innovative ways to improve teaching and learning of statics. Thus, many new instructionalinsights or resources continually become available. For instance, the

The AEP(American Electric Power) engineers were from different divisions, and had diverse backgroundsand work experiences. This combination led to a tightly knit partnership which providedeveryone with a positive learning experience. The enthusiasm, excitement and support of thecommunity, AEP engineers, and students makes it easy to claim that TOGA PARTY isdeveloping a tradition.One of the unique aspects of this partnership was that each partner contributed equally to theproject deliverables.

) using environmentally benign agents such as CO2 isan emerging technology in the field of drug delivery. SFT has been used to prepare drugdelivery systems of various types: polymeric particles, plain drug particles, drug-containingliposomes, and inclusion complexes of drug and carrier. In comparison with traditional Page 10.494.7techniques for preparation of these types of systems, SFT enables more control over formulation,thereby allowing more precise control of drug release from delivery systems [ 17].Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and Exposition Copyright
balanced with its motivational significance.11Clearly, exposure to problems, and the use of technology to solve design challenges in responseto those problems are critical components in the education of engineers. The progression of thenascent engineer from a knowledgeable user of technology through naïve problem solver to anartisan and finally an expert is expedited by project based learning exposures.12 Whereas theanalytical underpinnings of the complex design process may best be taught in lecture formats,with abstract representations and in less open-ended laboratory experiences, the complex designprocess itself requires higher-order thought and is best accomplished by exposure to concreteapplications in a project based learning environment
