A hands-on educational approach has been an effective tool to gain suchcompetency in ET and IT programs. Many of these programs offer laboratory-orientedmanufacturing courses with the mission of providing students with practical experience inautomation and its application in integration of production systems. A common laboratoryfacility in ET and IT programs includes computer-integrated manufacturing which may

To achieve the design, recycling and reuse opportunitieswere developed for both plastic and hardened concrete used from testing as well as other residual aggregate solids.Processed water waste was minimized by the design of a settling and filtration recycling system. Both reductions inraw material consumption and economic savings realized by avoiding waste streams were measured in the study.The laboratory is used extensively by students preparing for

Exploring Student Perceptions of Teamwork in a Summer Outreach ProgramAbstractIncreasing numbers of summer outreach programs aim to engage students in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM). A common approach to these programs is project-basedlearning (PBL), which often involves working in teams. Ideally, students participating in theseprograms work together in teams to apply the STEM knowledge gained from their programexperiences; these intentional communication and collaboration experiences are also likely toenhance students’ teamwork skills. However, team experiences are not always positive, andsome team members may not feel welcome to contribute. Team experiences can negatively affectstudents’ sense

They needed to familiarize themselves with current technology, and practice using andinterpreting site and system diagrams for a complex facility. They needed to learn how to interactwith other engineers and industry professionals in order to learn what their problems were, or howtheir product would help solve a problem. The students in each project needed to design a systemthat would meet the needs of the PNIC, and they needed to perform a cost analysis to determine ifthe solution was viable. The students working on the power generation project also had anopportunity to learn a great deal about the societal impact

The test was made up of sixquestions on basic differential and integral calculus and four questions on basic thermodynamics.These represented the course’s two prerequisites and all questions were multiple choice. Theaverage scores for the students over an eight semester period were 46.6% for the mathematicsand 38.3% for the thermodynamics, with a 43.3% overall. Clearly, retention has been limited.
