students to obtain correct spellings and precise definitions of domain-specific terms from lec- ture videos, given the limited lecture time, rarity of the terms, and possibly confusing pronunciations. To provide accurate speech-to-text transcription, and enable students to search for domain-specific terms and obtain term definitions in real-time, we de- signed, implemented, and evaluated the PhraseHinter tool, a text analytics pipeline that efficiently extracts domain-specific terms from engineering educational videos. The tool is lightweight and adaptable to online instruction platforms. In our approach, a series of key scenes are initially extracted from a lecture video using a novel scene detection algorithm. The algorithm employs

Extinction or is their Mission Changing?Abstract - Across the nation, numerous legacy electronics technology programs at the two-yearcollege level are: being converted to Cisco and A+ based computer networking and repairprograms, increasingly being asked to teach electronics fundamentals to non-electronics basedtechnologies, and, most significantly, experiencing declining enrollments. In some cases,programs have been discontinued entirely due to a persistent lack of students. In essence, thebasic core mission of the legacy electronics technology program, to produce “electronicstechnicians”, has been morphing into a hybrid educational endeavor. This fact is being driven bythe increasing use of complex electronic systems and sophisticated

skills such as team work,argumentation, and communication skills.Underpinning the biweekly viewing of Star Trek episodes, the course starts with a foundationin moral and ethical theory. The ethical issues faced by the Star Trek crews lead toconsideration of similar situations faced by students and by engineers. Teams analyze andsolve progressively more complex ethical cases in engineering and in general. The overallgoal of the course is to assist students in developing their moral imaginations and thereby, tounderstand how to make the best choices in difficult circumstances.The paper describes the course including the organization, weekly topics, cases, worksheets,activities, and feedback from students that have completed the course.

. Jackson, president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, stressed theimportance of leadership education for engineers and engineering technologists. A few ofthe many “soft skills” in which Dr. Jackson focused was leadership, ethics, teamwork,integrity, appreciation of diversity, the value of cooperation and respect for others, andthe ability to gain a wider and broader perspective. Norman Augustine, in 1994, coinedthe term, “Socioengineering” to describe the combination of the contextual and processskills with the elements of traditional engineering education needed for the twenty-firstcentury This paper will focus on ABET Accreditation and how it has expanded inrecognizing “socioengineering” by including soft skills, or professional skills, in
Computer Science at Oregon State University has workedin collaboration with university science education researchers to implement large-scalecurriculum reform based on a platform for learning. This collaboration between engineers andeducators has been enhanced through the use of an emerging educational research paradigmcalled design research. Design research uses a team to manage a series of iterative cycles ofeducational design, implementation, and evaluation. Each cycle provides the empirical evidenceneeded to improve instruction, and refine educational theory. Data is gathered within the contextof an authentic complex educational setting enhancing its explanatory power over data gatheredthrough more traditional methods of educational research

skill sets of tomorrow’s graduates will becomes even more disconnected fromthe world of work than they are today. This change needs to embrace and emphasis a systems level approach to theteaching of electronics technology along with an infusion of the Scan’s report soft skills into the curriculum. Severalsuggestions of how this may be accomplished are presented here.I. OverviewApproximately forty years have past since the implementation of the first governmentrecommended two-year college electronics curricula. Although tremendous technologic changehas occurred in the electronics field and its manufacturing industry, little change has occurred inthe typical curriculum leading to an associate degree in this area. Except for the continuous

oral exams are effective as a form of evaluation, students may miss onlearning opportunities that come with oral exams while studying using strategies meant fortraditional written exams. In this paper, we study how homework preparation (videoassignments) can play a role in impacting student performance outcomes in oral examinations.We report on results from two engineering courses conducting oral examinations and analyze thecorrelation between student completion of video assignments and exam outcomes. Preliminaryresults show a correlation in better examination scores with students that consistently completedthe video assignments as a part of their preparation for the oral exam. Students that completedthe video assignments were able to better
