students in this study.This study included a few outcomes and conclusions that would be helpful to engineeringtechnology education practitioners, they include: At the start of the research only 10% of the engineering technology students knew how to find technical information in the library. Reflective comments and post-test results indicated that the assignment exposed all of the students to literacy skills, with most exhibiting skill improvement. Students practicing the newfound skills earlier in the project were more successful in demonstration of those skills than students that waited. Unstructured topics were difficult for these students to deal with; some were concerned about the quality of

traditional 3D printing to medicalapplications. Scalfani has reported on the efforts of the University of Alabama libraries tofacilitate an open access 3D printing studio5. The studio users incorporate these services intoclass projects, research, and instruction. Scalfani has also recommended the deployment of the3D studio in a visibly open area in their library. Colegrove reported findings from the Universityof Nevada, Reno (UNR)6. He indicated that the services offered by the campus library weresubstantial and cut across numerous disciplines. He reported that cross-disciplinary users quicklyadopted the 3D printing services offered by the UNR library and that the new 3D printers wereoperating at or near capacity during their first year of deployment

The Kinect sensor is connected to this computer through USBport. We program under 64-bit Windows 7 operating system with Kinect SDK 1.7, XNAS40 aswell as EmguCV version 2.9.0. The programming IDE for this project is Microsoft Visual Studio2010 with .NET framework 4.0.We have 72 volunteers including 38 female and 34 male, and ask them to walk in front of thesensor back and forth.

Practicumexperiences also allow students to design and develop a project in which they applyknowledge and develop skills such as a doctoral student preparing the components of anonline course. Service Learning Experiences are distinguished by being mutually beneficial for bothstudent and community. Service learning is growing rapidly and is considered a part ofexperiential education by its very nature of learning, performing a job within the community,and serious reflection by the student. Service learning involves solving some of society'sissues; such as, homelessness, poverty, lack of quality education, pollution, etc. One of thegoals of service learning is to help students become aware of these issues
project and list them withinthe report section they planned to implement the literature. The efficacy of this pedagogicalchange to contextualize examples followed by immediate application was assessed by measuringthe frequency and type of citations used by all 3 sections of the class. Citation analysis found astatistically insignificant 7% increase in total number of citations used by the test sectionstudents. Although the utilization of engineering standards did not increase, the use of greyliterature in the test section increase 83% compared with the two control sections taught by thesame engineering faculty. Furthermore the test section decreased their use of multimediainformation. Two subsequent sections of the course taught by other
critical need for qualified engineering graduates to join the workforce. The mostrecent U.S. Bureau of Labor projections through 2020 show significant growth of jobs in thescience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Marra1 et al states thatengineering and science fields will grow at more than 3 times the rate of other disciplines.However, in the midst of the demand, institutions of higher education are faced with thechallenge of retaining students within their engineering programs1-5. Student attrition has beenattributed to several factors including: student attitudes and a sense of belonging in discipline,preparation for the course material, and quality of teaching and compatibility with studentlearning styles1,6-10.

made.Initial course design The statics course considered here is part of a typical calculus-based engineeringmechanics sequence. Topics in the course include force and moment vectors, equilibrium,structural analysis, friction, centroids, and moments of inertia. The class meets three times aweek for 50 minutes over 15 weeks. The course has weekly assignments, four unit exams, afinal exam, and a design project. Some small changes were made to this outline in order toaccommodate “flipping” the class as detailed below. A learning management website was utilized to “flip” the statics course. The course siteconsisted of videos and notes to be viewed by students before class. It also containedassignments and student grades. Students obtained
, analyzing, and interpreting bibliometric dataremains a challenge. Applying information visualization techniques to bibliometric maps creates graphicalrepresentations that enhance users’ understanding of network structure. With the increasing availability ofsophisticated tools that allow for easy data analysis, mapping bibliometric data has become more accessible tolibrarians.This paper examines the value of visualizing bibliometric data. Specifically, it relates the experience of usingthe Sci2 Tool to analyze the data collected for a citation analysis project and to visualize the co-authors, co-citation, and bibliographic coupling networks revealed by that analysis. Furthermore, it discusses thechallenges encountered while using the Sci2 Tool for
time to generate test cases as the pro- gram graph provides visual aid for test case generation. 2. Improves the correctness of test cases. Students have more confidence when they practice white–box testing. 3. Increases students’ involvement. Students are interested in test automation and willing to keep working on the project for extension.5. Conclusion Page 26.42.11This paper presents a novel approach to build a program graph visualizer for teaching white-boxtesting techniques. The program graph is constructed from bytecode to handle compound condi-tion for a variety of testing coverage. The graph program visualizer

Also, the instructional lead teacher will conduct model lessons in classes throughoutthe school to provide examples of lessons and activities that can be facilitated in existingcurriculum. It is anticipated that student enthusiasm and engagement in these lessons will, inturn, increase teacher motivation to engage with the program.The results of the survey, as noted, are also being used to pursue additional funding opportunitiesto support the goals and objectives of the committee.

Students completed an online quiz following the lecture which tested theirunderstanding of the relationship between velocity and pressure in a venturi.In the following class students were given the link so that they could view the experiment live ontheir laptops. The instructor controlled the experiment and projected the image. Students couldobserve the change in pressure along the venturi from the height of the colored fluid in themanometer tubes. They were then asked to perform calculations based on the experiment. Theworksheet included a diagram of the venturi used in the remote lab, calculation questions

Grading and feedback scripts canbe difficult and tedious, and may not be possible for all faculty to create. A future BRE upgradeis intended to include a menu-driven module for less experienced faculty, and an advancedmodule that accepts complex programming statements for
