Theexperiences of offering CI as a graduate course and a summer research project involving high schoolstudents are also presented. The importance of introducing CI techniques and their multidisciplinaryapplications as a senior level interdisciplinary engineering elective course and integrating these inresearch experiences for undergraduates and STEM education is discussed.1.

Cherner, Ph.D. a Founder and President of ATEL, LLC, taught science, engineering and technology disciplines to high school, college and university students. He has extensive experience in writing curricula and developing educational software and efficient instructional strategies. Dr. Cherner introduced an innovative concept of multi-layered simulation-based conceptual teaching of science and technology. This instructional approach uses real-world objects, processes and learning situations that are familiar to students as the context for virtual

During the design and construction phaseof the challenge students must tackle several Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM) related issues such as embedded microcontroller programming, closed loop controlcalculation, modeling and implementation, as well as overall vehicle dynamics (physics).Soft skills are likewise emphasized through team collaboration, design documentation, andproject management.Creating a high-speed race car is the apex of the challenge. High speed control coupled with theunpredictable track design creates some spectacular problems to solve and just as common somespectacular crashes. For example, in 2007, many teams came prepared for a flat fast

and applying engineering management and adaptionof new technology principles, the first step became to rethink the course’s presentation. What is aseminar? Webster’s (Neufeldt , 1988) defines it as: “seminar…1 a group of supervised students doing research or advanced study, as at a university, 2 a) a course for such a group, or any of its sessions b) a room where the group meets 3 any similar group discussion” Proceedings of the 2010 ASEE North Midwest Sectional ConferenceDiscussion, research, and advanced study seemed to be the key concepts in both the course andin a seminar style of presentation.The next step was to consider the students in the class. The typical students in these programswere working

Due to its mobility, CIMoW best provides budding engineers with the opportunity towork with and communicate with people in the community on the subject of integratedmanufacturing. Besides, engineers should be brought to relate to people and not just to intricatesigns, symbols and machines. “The social context is not someone else’s business.” 8.

Thisresults in improved efficiency, accuracy, and provided economic benefit, in addition to reducinghuman intervention. The true value of the Internet of Things is based on the data collected fromconnected devices, which enable us to run analytics, optimizing our technology and consequentlyour life.Currently, most schools have developed or are in the process of integrating the IoT in theircurricula. For instance, the Department of Computer Engineering at Santa Clara University hasdeveloped and offered a graduate-level course in the Internet of Things [2]. Their course

“hands-on” academic programs, like those in engineering technology, require laboratory courses or components within courses to acquaint students with actual hardware components, instrumentation, and software. Breadboards are used to serve as a way of connecting devices in electrical and electronic programs. Breadboards like the one shown in Figure 1 are often used to make connections easier.

present paper, the design of the DAQ system is discussed from two perspectives: 1) design of the DAQ system with respect to necessary hardware, 2) design of the DAQ system with regard to required software. In brief, the effort made in this paper is to demonstrate new developments made with a portable data acquisition system applicable to the lab and field projects as well as teaching in geomechanics. It is clear that this convenient and powerful tool will help faculty in both teaching and research, as well as help engineering students in studies of Geomechanics or Engineering Mechanics. I.
