Astronautics(Engineering) (AAE) has joined forces with the Aeronautical Technology Section (AOT) of theUniversity’s Department of Aviation Technology (AT) on experimental basis to provide seniorlevel students with a design/build/text experience in an interdisciplinary team environment. Thepaper identifies the two types of projects (specific objective and research) used in support ofinterdisciplinary activities. It describes previous projects and discusses some of the successesand difficulties experienced in pursuit of this effort. Industry’s reaction to these interdisciplinaryteam activities is discussed, as well as, future plans for the expansion of interdisciplinarydesign/build/test team projects.IntroductionPurdue University provides a unique
The Evolution of Technical Communication at Lukens Steel, 1810-1925 Carol Siri Johnson New Jersey Institute of TechnologyAbstract: Complex technology necessitated increasing levels of literacy among workers and engineers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This paper analyzes the changes in technical communication in a single company, Lukens Steel, between the years 1810 and 1925. Until 1870, literacy was not necessary in the workplace; only the owners wrote letters and kept accounting records. By the end of the 19th century, quantitative literacy became increasingly important across the plant as foremen kept records

With the advance of virtual reality (VR) technologies in terms of bothsoftware and hardware, there is a need to advance the education with adopting advanced VRtechnologies. In this project, we present our latest results of developing new VR modules in AMcurriculum. Specifically, the developed VR modules for fusion deposition modeling and fatiguetesting will be presented. In the on-going research, students will be required to use the VR modulesin comparison with the physical lab experiments. The focus will be understanding the effectivenessof VR technology on engineering curriculum.1.

content of feedback as defined by Hattie and Timperley is self-feedback [1]. Thisis feedback that speaks to qualities of the learner as a person, and does not focus on the contentof what was being learned. Mode of feedback given to students relates to how feedback was delivered. For instance,feedback can be given in either a structured or unstructured way [17]. Structured feedback couldbe explained as receiving feedback through a rubric filled out by the instructor and officiallyreturned, whereas unstructured could be receiving feedback orally in passing in a hallway outsideof class. With technology being used in engineering classrooms more frequently, the mode withwhich feedback is delivered has transitioned to being primarily digital

other wireless techniques are sometimes difficultconcepts for students to grasp, and even more difficult to obtain practical experimentalexperiences with. Demonstrating these concepts through PSpice simulations, allowing studentsfree rein to play with these simulations, and encouraging them to devise their own experimentsbased on these simulations can provide invaluable educational opportunities. Simulations such asthose shown in this paper could very profitably be used in many courses related to this cuttingedge area of technology.

Internships allow students to enhance their learningand problem-solving skills while partnered with scientists and engineers conducting work oninnovative technology. In order to increase the students’ success in securing an internship,students applied the TWC content and skills fostered in the course while networking andinterviewing for one of these opportunities. Engineering students who implement some of theTWC skills and content typically see an immediate return, garnering a paid internship or anemployment offer. The TWC skills
focused cohorts. Engineering professors often have differentgoals/expectations, experiences with technology, and teaching constraints than those in otherdisciplines. Faculty may desire specific, concrete examples of how to apply different research-based practices in the courses they teach, rather than becoming an engineering educationresearcher themselves. At many universities, there may only be a handful of professors whoteach the same course, which makes forming a CoP problematic. To solve this problem, we havedeveloped Virtual Community of Practice (VCP), where participation is web-based. Page 24.1020.3Virtual Communities of PracticeA VCP offers

Even with skills identified, there are some significant hurdles to changing anengineering curriculum. As technologies, businesses, and economic cultures change, so tooshould the skills engineers be taught. However, these cultural shifts can be rapid and are oftentoo fast to be reflected in curriculum updates[1]. There is also the concept of balance in thecurriculum; students do require some amount of fundamental technical knowledge to apply toreal world problems. In the example of running simulation software, to truly be able to setup,run, interpret, and validate results, one must
