Session 2559 Abstract: Simulating Industry in the Classroom Joel Weinstein Northeastern UniversityOverview:One of the underlying themes that distinguishes engineering technology from other technicaldisciplines is the real-world industrial nature and influence over the entire educationalexperience. While co-op and vacation work activities certainly help to reinforce the industrial“flavor,” they are not part of the daily academic regimen.To provide the industrial experience in classroom activities, we have developed a softwareproject-based course that simulates industry
experiences of designing and using conceptual labs in engineering education that havesuccessfully fostered insightful learning9. A conceptual lab is described as “one that helpsstudents to develop fruitful ways of linking concepts and models to objects and events8.Furthermore, it is a place of inquiry, where students’ ‘ways of seeing or experiencing … theworld [are developed]’; i.e. the lab is an arena for further learning rather than simply forconfirmation theories and formulas that have already been taught in lectures”9. A common featureof such labs is that they exploit technology called probe-ware or Microcomputer-Based Labs(MBL).Probe-ware systems were introduced into physics teaching almost three decades ago and are goodexamples of the use of

From 1976 to 1996, the scope of this project, 21 women graduated. Most ofthese women were the only female in their CET classes. Over the past five years there havetypically been 18-22 graduates with usually no more than two women in any one class. Womenare still rare in CET at GSU. Until just recently these women took jobs in areas or offices that hadfew if any females in technical positions and almost all of the women had men for their immediatesupervisor. Several of the earlier women graduates have progressed to project director positionswhere they
knowledge and skills drawnfrom traditionally non-computer disciplines. IA is truly a multidisciplinary endeavor, blendingtopics that span the disciplines of computer science, computer engineering, mathematics,management information systems and business, political science, and law. Additionally, keyprocesses used by IA professionals (e.g., vulnerability assessment) require a deepunderstanding of how important concepts in each of these disciplines are connected to eachother.The rationale for the project is based in the need to develop a consensus on core IA skills andknowledge. The demand for Information Technology (IT) professionals stemming from turnoverplus growth has been pegged in various references at around 600,000 open positions per year[3

University of South Alabama(USA) began, in Fall 1993, an evaluation of the undergraduate program to meet the challenge ofengineering education for the 21st Century. Restructuring of the mechanical engineering curriculum atUSA is also prompted by the changing ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)requirements for design. Under the current criteria, design is defined as "an experience that must grow withthe student's development," and "the design experience is developed and integrated throughout thecurriculum"1. In addition to the development of student creativity, formulation of design problemstatements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions, and feasibility considerations, ABETsuggests that design should also

work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how specific affordances can change the ways we collaborate, learn, read, and write. Teaching engineering communication allows her to apply this work as she coaches students through collaboration, design thinking, and design communication. She is part of a team of faculty innovators who originated Tandem (tandem.ai.umich.edu), a tool designed to help facilitate equitable and inclusive teamwork environments.Rebecca L Matz, University of Michigan Becky Matz is a Research

, students incomputing fields that intend to become software developers should be exposed to and,ideally, have practical experience with modern software processes. This paper describesexperiences in a software capstone course which teaches students the activities associatedwith two popular industry processes: XP and RUP. In particular, the course uses studentprojects to create applications used within the university. The unique aspect of the coursethat differentiates it from other software engineering capstone experiences is theemphasis on agile processes (primarily XP) and the use of software development tools(e.g. configuration management, automated testing, modeling) commonly used inindustry.Four university projects have been created to date.

computational models of invisible processes in physical systems (e.g., [8]). As argued by Gupta and colleagues [9], a more complete engineering education alsodemands a deeper focus on the “macroethics” of engineering, including the social, ethical, andpolitical impacts of engineers’ scientific and technological pursuits. However, children and manyadults rarely conceptualize their interactions with machines in ways that are consistent with thecomplex and dynamic nature of machine learning systems [4], [5]. While mechanistic reasoningis often used to account for thinking about the behavior within systems, we also apply amechanistic lens to think about ethical dimensions of the sociopolitical contexts in whichmachine learning systems operate.

Michelle’s previous research covered numerous topics including the effects of temperature on soil moisture probes, middle school students’ perceptions on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and natural gas leak detection methods. Her current research is on how contaminant perception of artisanal and small-scale mining at different spatial scales influences environmental response and how engineers can work with that information to co-develop socio-technical responses to environmental pollution.Nathaniel Leander Steadman Nathaniel Steadman is an M.S. student at the University of Texas at Arlington studying
majors, including Electrical and Computer Engineering students. Multiple factors contribute to retention issues, such as poor teaching and advising, the difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of motivation resulting from poor connections to the engineering community. Statistics indicate a large drop in the continuation rate between the first and third years among Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) students. As students encounter increasing course difficulty in the early stages of their programs, they often lack motivation to persist because they have weak connections to their majors and potential careers in STEM.
