A growing number of academics and professionals in CCEM infuse sustainabilityprinciples, including alternative energy, energy efficiency, and others, into their research.Sustainability is generally taught in upper-level classes, yet lower-level classes may includesome supplemental sustainability course. Although undergraduate students may have an interestin sustainability, their exposure to it comes later in their educational curriculum [3]. Sustainability has been identified as a “wicked problem” [4, 6], unstructured and thusdifficult to model, with multiple interconnected and integrated aspects that spans policy domainsand levels of government.

Session 1526 Assessing an Interdisciplinary Robotics Course William W. White, Jerry B. Weinberg, George L. Engel, S. Cem Karacal, Ai-Ping Hu Southern Illinois University Edwardsville1. IntroductionThe curriculum in any specific area of study tends to narrowly focus students on that area,whereas real-world complex systems tend to integrate components from multiple disciplines. Thedevelopment of such systems has shifted from designing individual components in isolation toworking in cross-functional teams that encompass the variety of expertise needed
needed.VIII. Integration into our LMS. MATH 101 was developed over our LMS, thus familiarizing the students with the usage of GES since their early start. Another important consequence of this integration is explained next. IX. No membership costs for the students. There are no costs transferred to the students because all of the materials in MATH 101 are owned by the university and it is mounted in our LMS. In other words, this remedial course can be offered to the students without any additional fee. It is important to recall that online courses may suffer from some well-known engagement disadvantages (see, e.g., [20]), and MATH 101 is not an exception. Among those drawbacks, virtual classes require self

Page 26.1345.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Revitalizing an Electromechanical Energy Conversion CourseOur University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department has offered an electivecourse in “Electric Machinery” for decades. It is a 4-credit course offered each fall term forjuniors and seniors, with a laboratory component. Prior to fall 2013, this course had been lecture-heavy due to school scheduling requirements, and it suffered from use of old laboratoryequipment that was difficult to maintain. With increasing focus on renewable energy and powerelectronics in the curriculum, we felt the need to modernize this course so that it provides a betterlearning experience and
including written reports, oral presentations, and poster presentations. The course isstructured to facilitate a highly hands-on active learning experience, with class meetings twiceweekly in a lecture/lab setting for a total of three hours. In addition, both a machining skillscomponent (six one-hour lab sessions in first semester) and an electronic instrument trainingcomponent (six one-hour lab sessions in second semester) are being integrated into the coursethis year. The overall effectiveness and success of the course and the benefit to the George Foxengineering program and students will be presented and discussed.IntroductionThe first engineering students enrolled at George Fox University in 1987, in what was a 3/2 dual-degree engineering

SupportWe focus on two areas of interest to answer our overarching question: (1) the experience ofbeing a commuter student in an engineering curriculum and (2) the integration of commuterswithin a cohort community. Our project and research are framed using the Model of Co-Curricular Support which highlights four areas of integration: Academic, Social, Professional,University. To understand how the MCCS pertains to engineering commuter students we answertwo research questions: (1) How do undergraduate engineering students who commuteexperience academic and social integration and (2) How do cohort-based student learningcommunities influence integration for engineering commuter students?For this work we present findings regarding the academic, social

Even with these efforts, the authors saw a lack in incorporatingentrepreneurial mindset (EM) into the instructor’s curriculum along with art concepts. In addition,the instructor always wanted introduce bio-inspired design through open-ended design anddevelopment exercises in his “Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering” course.

As such,professionally-oriented engineering graduate programs can no longer operate in a vacuum or beconsidered high-quality without integrating into the professional curriculum project-based (problem-centered) learning that focuses on innovation and employs the systematic engineering method which isprimarily used to conceive
realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability."

A capstone course is an integral part of Civil Engineeringundergraduate education. It requires students to apply knowledge and skills acquired in earliercourse work from a Civil Engineering curriculum in a design that solves real-world problems ormimics real-world projects [6

Astin’s involvement model shows thatthe academic performance of a student is directly correlated to their involvement level within theircollege or program [2, 3]. Tinto theorizes that poor integration into the many facets of college life,including academically and socially, is an early indication of a student having a higher risk ofdropping out [4-6]. Finally, Swail et al.’s analysis of minority retention in institutions of higherlearning yields the Geometric Model of Student Persistence and

Moreover, the visualization-based courseware produced in the image-processing Page 4.333.1laboratory will be used extensively in the teaching of a newly designed integrated thermal andfluid curriculum, which will also be described in the following section.Course descriptionThe TFSL course belongs to a series of integrated thermal courses, which are designed toprovide the students with a solid foundation in the

A key objective of developing the set of machine vision experiments is to provide studentsan opportunity to learn an integrated approach for solving machine vision application problems.The students examine the options in combining different sub-procedures to achieve the overallgoal. For example, one group of students may choose bar code interpretation as their coreapplication task, but they may opt for different solution strategies during different experiments.After each of the experiments
