Cloud computingleverages efficient sharing of on-demand, self-managed, virtual infrastructures, allowing swiftdeployment and adaptation of curriculum and laboratory experiences in step with the advances inthe field. Adoption of cloud computing technologies is a clear trend in online learning.1,2 Someeducators have used cloud technologies for years. Others are still exploring ways of incorporatingcloud computing in teaching and learning. There are many different approaches of implementingcloud computing.2,3 For educators with little experience in cloud computing deployment, selectinga suitable cloud platform to use can

Smith Purdue University/Vanderbilt UniversityWhen teaching an electrical engineering technology course in the virtual classroom, instructionalchallenges are magnified in both course development and course delivery. Among thesechallenges are learning course management software, maximizing student motivation, enablinggroup learning and communication, and ensuring clarity of instructional materials andassignments.

thedifficulties that they encountered in learning new technologies. As engineering students andstudents who have grown up with technology, we had erroneously assumed that they would havean enthusiastic “dig into it” approach to technology. For example, we had erroneously assumedthat they would download and learn to use the graphing software we had recommended for theirreports; many did not. When students were not able to create data graphs or access data on theirgraphing calculator, we did not have the supports in place for them to learn how to do this. Weaddressed this in two ways in the re-design of the course. First, from the beginning of the course,we asked students to evaluate their own expertise with the graphing calculator. We used this self

Domestic Undergraduate Research Experiences1. IntroductionThis paper presents the results of a study that examines how international and domesticundergraduate research experiences affect the intercultural maturity of students in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This question is timely given theincreasingly multinational nature of research collaborations. In its 2014 Science Indicators, theNational Science Foundation (NSF) reported that 35% of U.S. articles published in 2012 wereinternationally coauthored, up from 32% in 2010, with U.S.-Japan coauthored papers comprising7% of this total. Internationally coauthored papers in science and engineering now comprise one-fourth of all papers worldwide.1 The percentage of U.S

In the conception of the new engineering programs, project-based learningwas identified as a key component of the curriculum, and consequently the majority of courses inthe department have a weekly lab component. While the labs provide an opportunity for hands-onlearning, problem solving at all levels is primarily practiced through weekly homework problems,in introductory courses up through senior-level courses on more advanced topics.This case study

Through expert lectures and arobust project, students were introduced to technology commercialization and the entrepreneurialmindset, skills that aid in the development of career-ready and innovative engineers. Studentsapplied these concepts through a laboratory-based design project by participating in a productpitch competition to justify the value of their design to a panel of experts in the field whoexemplified potential investors. To measure outcomes, we assessed students’ self-reportedexpertise in various components of these disciplines through surveys administered at multiplepoints throughout the modules and gathered anonymous feedback through end-of-semestercourse

Short-term applications are boilers andfurnaces (including power stations), whereas turbines and diesel engines may become availableon the somewhat longer term. Upgrading of the bio-oil to a transportation fuel is technicallyfeasible, but needs further development. Transportation fuels such as methanol and fuels createdwith the Fischer-Tropsch process, can be derived from bio-oil. Furthermore, there is a widerange of chemicals that can be extracted or derived from the bio-oil.” [7] Generating the fuel on asmall scale with the BV system is a little presumptuous, but hopefully will find a market whenthe commercial

Introduction:At Penn State Erie, Mechanical Engineering Technology Students are required to complete aproject during their senior year. This project is typically sponsored by a local industry, and isdesigned to teach the students how the design and development process works. Typically, thestudents are required to manage the entire project from the planning and scheduling stagethrough design, analysis, and final report.Occasionally, a project comes along which is not sponsored by a local industry, but by anindividual who has an interest in helping the school and the students. One such project wasproposed by a former student who races late model dirt track
