to teach problem-solvingtechniques as if they do. Our graduates need to know not only how to use the tools of ourprofession, but when to use the most appropriate tools for the particular problem they areattempting to solve. IE majors are introduced to these tools in the IE introductory sophomorecourse.Industrial engineering has a broad range of applications, in a variety of industries. This web-basedsystem allows students to interactively control their learning pace across these application areas,and progress through them at their own pace. The modules integrate multimedia technology suchas graphics, animations, and audio to increase the effectiveness of an interactive learningexperience. They do not provide an integrated approach; rather
instructionalmodules for use in existing courses.Four core chemical engineering courses are targeted: fluid flow operations, heattransfer operations, mass transfer operations, and chemical reactor design. Overthe three-year CCLI project, activities/modules will be developed andincorporated into each of these courses, with each activity/module focusing on aparticular element from the process intensification spectrum and designed to alsoenhance vertical concept integration. This poster presentation will focus on theactivities and modules developed in Year 1.INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDThe chemical industry faces numerous challenges in the coming years due todecreasing availability of raw material and energy resources. Thus, existingprocesses must operate in an

The lessons learned guided further analysis todetermine whether: (1) the course effectively integrates certification requirements into thecurriculum, (2) two separate courses are necessary to fully achieve these goals, or (3) analternative approach, such as embedding certification objectives across multiple courses, wouldbe more effective.III.

A number of state governments, universities, non-profitorganizations, and for-profit institutions have also played an important role in enablingtechnology commercialization by offering guidance and assistance to entrepreneurs2. Theseefforts have helped many new technologies to come to fruition, including life-saving drugs andmedical devices, consumer products, communication devices, clean energy, and safe foodproducts3.In order to succeed, technology commercialization must involve properly trained scientists andengineers not only at the birth of a technology but also during the subsequent phases of itscommercialization. The importance of incorporating elements of entrepreneurship andtechnology commercialization in engineering

focusing on developing an embedded system curriculum with the follow-ing innovative features: (a) an interdisciplinary curriculum and (b) integration of research resultsinto teaching. The design of embedded systems requires knowledge from many different disci-plines. For this purpose, we have designed a sequence of interdisciplinary courses for impartingembedded systems design education. The course entitled “Real-time Systems Theory” is a part ofthis curriculum. This course directly imports ideas developed as part of our research in embeddedsystems. The aim of this course is to provide students with a strong theoretical foundation fordesigning and analyzing embedded systems. This paper will present the motivation for designingthis course, the

, Satisfaction (ARCS) model of motivation to design an Internet-of-Thingsthemed curriculum for CS students in grades 9-12. The ARCS framework is used as aconceptual framework to unpack high school students’ motivational influences inengineering/computer science project-based learning via a series of focus groups. Using theinsights obtained from First and Second cycle coding based qualitative analysis, IoT-basedCS curricular modules that align with Grades 9-12 Computer Science Teachers Association(CSTA) standards were developed. The curricular design centered around creating learner-focused scaffolding in project-based learning environments, improving the relevance of theclassroom content with the real-world context that students have experiences in or
, materials, and manufacturing.The STS curriculum covers the social and cultural dimensions of product development andinnovation, including case studies of successes and failures. Through the design studios, studentswill have the opportunity to translate into practical terms the diverse skills acquired in these twocurricula.The design studios will also challenge students to integrate and balance these two domains oflearning with PDI’s third domain, the aesthetic, including the relevant elements of arts andarchitecture design. This challenge changes from year to year because students will enter the PDIdesign studios with an increasing background from previous studios as well as from engineeringand STS courses. In this light, the two first-year design
masteredthe majority of these constructs, rather than serving as an integrator of those concepts. In general,applied, rich problems, found in most engineering contexts, are likely to have a similarpropensity to involve a diverse set of mathematics.As a result of this study, we have a number of possible ideas that will help guide our futureresearch with this curriculum and with other engineering curricula intending to teachmathematics. For instance, it may be more appropriate to use the engineering design activity as acapstone activity after the prerequisite mathematics knowledge has already been learned in amore traditional way. The engineering activity might then serve to strengthen and reinforceunderstanding of the mathematics ideas rather than
