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.

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

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.
