Secondly, and this partly derives from the above, virtuallaboratories allow students to learn from failures that may arise without causing any realdamage to systems. Learning from failure is one of the objectives for engineering educationas defined by ABET 3 . Another benefit of virtual laboratories is that they can be adapted toOpen On-line Courses for several students in different locations, hence opening up to the Page 24.419.2benefits of Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCs).Many emerging technologies have been used to develop laboratories

OverviewMost engineering students see industry or research career paths as binary. In their minds, aperson can either focus on research (academic career) or design and management (industrial orprofessional career). This perception has a negative impact on the profession as it leads to missedopportunities to solve practical problems by applying new fundamental research, as well asbasing fundamental research on current engineering problems.Smart Structures Technologies (SST) is receiving considerable attention as the demands for highperformance in structural systems increase. Although both the academic and professionalengineering worlds are seeking ways to utilize SST, there is a significant gap betweenengineering science and engineering practice. To

topractitioners and researchers on the potential instructional technique.Introduction The academic community has a long standing and frequently visited topic: that of how best to instructpupils. The engineering education community is not immune to this debate (see [7], [11], and [18] to mention afew). Specitlcally in engineering, many changes are affecting the future of pedagogy as we know it. Such topicsas distance learning, exporting engirtcering education [12], and softening enrollments [14] have made for a veryuncertain and fluid enviromnent for engineering educators. Notwithstanding all these charges in technology, environmen~ and demographics, one point still holdstrue: there are students and there are teachers.l Thus, the

It is concluded thatto help student learning and understanding of important concepts and principles, these modern computer toolsshould be carefully used at the right time, right place.I. INTRODUCTION. Teaching and learning of engineering topics, especially in engineering science courses whichinclude a considerable amount of mathematical detail, has been a difficult job for educators as well as studentstaking these classes.

The author hasbeen teaching embedded system software (ESET 369) and microcontroller architecture (ESET349) courses for each Fall and Spring semester since Fall of 2016 and 2017, respectively. Prior tothis course revision, these two courses were organized to focus on teaching about a TexasInstruments (TI) MSP430 microcontroller and its in-house MSP430 application board. Now,these two courses have been revised for greater concentration on the ARM Cortex M4Farchitecture and its applications

Tank Depressurization Experiments for the Classroom or Laboratory Meagan Olsen, Andrew L. Buck, W. Roy Penney and Edgar C. Clausen Ralph E. Martin Department of Chemical Engineering University of ArkansasIntroductionAmerican Society for Engineering Education data show that engineering enrollment in U.S.universities has increased by more than 50% over the last ten years, while the number ofengineering faculty has increased by only 15% over the same time period (Yoder 2009, 2017).As a result, the average number of students in engineering classrooms has steadily increased, andthis increase has occurred at a time when our students enter the classroom with far lessexperience in the
method.Case Study Methodology for Teaching and LearningCase study methodology has been widely exploited as an instructional approach in varioussubject areas such as medicine, law, business, education, engineering, technology, and science.Use of this teaching method has been extensively discussed in the literature8, 9, 10, 16.The case study method promotes team-based activities, active learning and the ability to handleopen-ended problems10. Case study methodology also fosters the development of higher-levelcognitive skills8, 9. Shapiro13 summarizes several teaching and learning approaches as follow:lectures and readings facilitate “acquiring knowledge and becoming informed about techniques”;exercises and problem sets provide “the initial tools for
secure sites, making financial transactions, allowing access tonetworked computers, or identifying a terrorist in a public place. Due to the potential for researchthat this relatively new field holds, and its importance to homeland defense, we have built a newBiometric Signal Processing Laboratory, and developed a new course in biometric signalprocessing. This course was designed for seniors in the electrical engineering major so that theycould become familiar with the basis for these new technologies. The course was organized togive the students some background in image processing, from which the identificationalgorithms are formulated, and had them design simple identification algorithms. The studentswere exposed to state-of-the-art

, engineering, and technology graduates. Felder argues that iffaculty would employ teaching methods that address all the basic learning styles at least some ofthe time, that students would have more interest in the topics being discussed, and thereby gainbetter understanding.The Problem:As in many science and engineering courses, there are topics that must be introduced to thestudents before they can begin to understand the bigger picture. In an introductorymicroprocessor course one of these difficult topics is addressing modes. The author believed thatthe topic of addressing modes could be covered more efficiently, saving time for more advancedtopics later in the semester. The problem was that students were having a very difficult timeunderstanding

In the absence of careful consideration of thefull array of factors, a structure could lack the desired functionality.

This is demonstrated using numerous examples of ancient and modernstructures in an interdisciplinary fashion.

However, Felder, Woods, Stice, andRugarcia9 claim that engineering classrooms typically have an instructor at the front of the room,imparting information, while students take notes. This type of instruction does not capitalize onthe challenge and creativity that should be inherent in the study of any subject, especially onelike engineering, nor does this traditional instruction align with Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) requirements for teaching communication and teamwork10.Williams11 states that engineering education has “been scrutinized and found inadequate toprepare its students for technical work in the twenty-first century” (p. 149) and claims thatABET's new accreditation
