complained that additional lab discussion on the machine, tooling,material, and inspection issues that affect part quality were irrelevant and thus a waste of time.After recognizing that the existing lab deliverables overly-emphasized part production tasks of amachinist or operator, lab assignments were modified to be framed as engineering team scenarioswhich required the production of a part, but for the purpose of testing, development ofengineering recommendations, and other reporting. Additional modifications to the courseincluded two new lab part designs that were real and useful take-home items, the reduction ofinitial course time spent on measurement instruments, and shifting of some lab demonstrationcontent to pre-existing video

The industrial partner provides adjunct instructors to teach severalmechanical engineering courses, serves on the industrial engineering advisory board, andsupports the university in a number of other ways. The students benefit from being taught byexperienced industry engineers who have a passion for teaching. The industry partner benefitsfrom direct exposure to potential hires and providing an outlet for its employees to

When faced with declining enrollments,the Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) faculty at Rock Valley College responded bytapping into two modern trends: the burgeoning field of sustainable energy systems, and themove towards online education. By adding a sustainable energy emphasis to the EET degree, thedepartment prepares its students for the next generation of energy technology. By modifying itscourses to be delivered in a hybrid format (lectures online, labs in person), the program offers acompatible option for students who have jobs and families that require more flexible coursescheduling. There is a bold new mission for EET in the area of

education is not limited to the engineering profession alone.In fact, this is a component of a much more global movement entitled CharacterEducation. Character Education’s roots lie in behavioral ethics, and can be viewed as anunderstanding of desirable and undesirable actions based on a society’s perceptions andnorms. Once an individual understands and perceives society’s distinctions betweenpositive and negative actions, character education then enables the individual tointernalize these values. As a result, the individual develops a personal code ofprofessional conduct, which then guides his/her daily interaction. The professional codecannot be developed before the personal code.

Typical practice in a dynamicscourse involves solving textbook problems. These problems can impose great cognitive load onunderprepared students because they have not mastered constituent knowledge and skills requiredfor solving whole problems. For these students, learning can be improved by being engaged indeliberate practice. Deliberate practice refers to a type of practice aimed at improving specificconstituent knowledge or skills.
