American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 An Educational Model Based on More Deeply Cooperative Learning1. Introduction Currently, our educational affairs and matters have become more diversified in therealm of distance learning. No small quantity of these affairs and issues has beendiscussed from conventionally stereotyped and pedagogically old-fashioned viewpoints.Many years have passed since the information networking age became a reality,resulting in a large number of types of new generation learners, such as digital natives,different from conventional learners and so on. Therefore, it can be illustrated that it isimportant to find a more realistic practical approach toward a solution that helps
Engineering Ethical Curricula: Assessment of Two Approaches and Recommendations Matthew J. Drake*, Paul M. Griffin*, Robert Kirkman+, Julie L. Swann* *School of Industrial & Systems Engineering + School of Public Policy Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0205AbstractIn this paper, we assess two approaches for delivery of engineering ethics: a full semesterethics course and an engineering course that includes a discipline-specific ethics module. Weuse the second edition of the Defining Issues Test (DIT) to measure moral
towardengineering. The Engineering Attitudes Survey was originally developed as an assessment ofmiddle school students’ knowledge of engineering and their attitudes toward it. The survey wasadapted for EiE use. To measure the impact of EiE on students, the attitude survey wasadministered to a “test/EiE” group of students who used the EiE curriculum (students weretaught an EiE unit and related science) and a “control” group whose students were taught relatedscience, but did not use EiE materials. Data about student sex, race/ethnicity, and free andreduced lunch status were also collected. The attitudes instrument was administered to studentsin six states in a pre/post design. Results indicate that students who completed the EiEcurriculum were significantly

Teaching decision problem formulating and solving skills using spreadsheets R. John Milne Clarkson UniversityAbstractThis paper describes a variety of communication media and tactics used in teaching Engineeringand Management students to formulate and solve management decision problems usingspreadsheets. Many of these problems are framed as optimization models—where studentsspecify decision variables and objectives and constraints as a function of these decisionvariables. Other problems are solved with simulation models in which some spreadsheet inputcells have probability distribution functions and consequently key output cells are described andinterpreted

These suits can cost over$700.Traditionally, power systems labs at the author’s University use Hampden electrical panels toprovide electric power. These panels provide a flexible method to deliver power for variousexperiments. The panels utilized industrial breakers and connection methods. OSHA and NFPAcodes require proper personal protective equipment. However, using flash suits is not practicalin a typical lab environment.

. Capstone design courses, integrationof communication across the engineering curriculum, the consideration of social, economic, andenvironmental issues in the solution of engineering problems, the use of assessment to measurethe impact of pedagogy on student learning: these are all evidence of change in engineeringeducation. As such, they are hallmarks of what Froyd, Wankat, and Smith have identified as fivemajor shifts in engineering education over the past 100 years, which include “a shift tooutcomes-based education and accreditation” and “a shift to applying education, learning, andsocial-behavorial sciences research.”1Now that the ABET Engineering Criteria have been in place since the mid-1990s, we may expectfurther shifts, specifically in the
