Session _2560_ Improving Students Retention by Engaging Them in Real Life Experiences Hazem Said Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computing Technology, University of CincinnatiIntroductionEngaging engineering technology students in real life experiences has a positive impacton retention rate. The Center for Information Technology and Community Development(CITCD) at the University of Cincinnati initiated the IT-Students-Work project (ITSW)as part of its plan to establish strong relationship between students in the InformationTechnology program
Session 1566 Knowledge Bowl for Manufacturing Processes Yeu-Sheng Paul Shiue Mechanical Engineering Department Christian Brothers University Memphis, TN 38104 USAAbstractThe Manufacturing Processes (ME 201) class in the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Departmentat Christian Brothers University (CBU) is a required course for all ME students. This classcombines traditional machining, advanced machining (CNC), and rapid prototyping techniqueswith field
education, instituted professional development activities,and institutionalized assessment and continuous improvement in all partner schools aswell as actively disseminated these innovations to institutions external to the Coalitions[1]. These developments have served as the elements around which systemic change atindividual institutions can be planned and implemented. An unexpected consequence ofthis intense focus on external dissemination is the facilitation of the Coalition’s ownchange and innovation processes.This paper explores how the goal of establishing a digital repository greatly facilitated thefinal stages of the innovation process throughout the Gateway Coalition. Based on thestructural definition of the repository and the standards
Session 1408 Student portfolios for learning, CQI, accreditation, and industrial ties Marybeth Lima, Evangelyn C. Alocilja, Ann D. Christy, James C. Papritan, Margaret E. Owens, Michael H.

the Sibley Schoolof Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University and the Hospital for SpecialSurgery (HSS) affiliated with the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. The main goalwas to expose Cornell engineering students to research and clinical practice in a hospital setting.The Immersion Terms took place at HSS in New York City. Students from the graduate fields ofMechanical and Biomedical Engineering at the main campus spent either 6 weeks (doctoralstudents) or 3.5 weeks (masters students) at the hospital. The students participated in orientation,courses on musculoskeletal mechanics, independent studies, observation in the operating room,tours of laboratory research facilities, and multiple seminars and meetings.

This paper describes some of the activities of the SEATEC grant andprovides a summary of its very promising outcomes that may revolutionize engineering andtechnology education at 2- and 4-year institutions and increase student interests in pursuing theseprograms. The SEATEC consortium is a collaborative effort of five different teams acrossTennessee. Each team is based at a two-year technical college and includes multi-disciplinarycollege faculties, industry partners, university partners, and high school tech-prep teachers. Theunique partnership with the industry along with the rigorous training of the participating facultyhave produced industry-based
heartburn on hundreds ofengineering professors around the country; the ones who are not experiencing the pain simply have notyet begun to deal with EC 2000 in a substantive way.Lost in all this shuffle is Criterion 3-g, requiring that students demonstrate effectiveness incommunication. Most engineering professors will want to address communication last, after they havedealt with the criteria relating to the “hard-core” engineering subjects. Many of them may be assumingthat they can just leave all this assessment to their local English teachers. The problem with thisassumption, however, is that English teachers are not typically ready to engage in the kinds of assessmentthat will be most appropriate for achieving EC 2000 goals. There will not be

Session 1559 Improving the Laboratory Experience with Modern Computer-Based Instrumentation David McDonald, Ray Adams, Paul Duesing, and Ajay Mahajan Lake Superior State University AbstractThe extensive use of modern, computer-based instrumentation in industry has created a clearneed to provide students with instruction in this technology. This type of instruction is bestaccomplished by integrating learning experiences in computer-based instrumentation throughoutthe curriculum. The instrumentation system is first introduced in technical
students in each new term base their work onthe final written report of the students in the previous term. They choose leaders andorganize themselves into teams as appropriate to accomplish the assigned tasks. At theend of the term, they write their own report, which details their work in upgrading thenetwork, and which includes new designs for consideration by the next class. Thus, inaddition to its primary goal of providing a high-level technical experience, the coursestresses multidisciplinary teamwork, and provides incentive for the development ofeffective oral and written communication skills. Results of three offerings of the courseare described.INTRODUCTIONDeveloping a design laboratory course in optical communication is a
.” Ken Sanders, AIA The Digital Architect1Software technology has taken enormous leaps in recent years in the ability to interrelateinformation between different applications. The successful development and global adoption ofMicrosoft Windows and Apple OS operating systems has lead to a world wide awareness of theability to share information between applications on your desktop, between users in remoteoffices and, indeed, around the world.The implications for this are staggering for any discipline but even more so for architecture.Architects must constantly analyze information cloaked in a variety of shrouds from the highlytechnical and somewhat obtuse building codes and life safety codes

Workshop on Designing, Developing and Implementing Online Collaboration Tools forEngineering Education, Kurt Gramoll, University of Oklahoma With the increased use of computers and electronic media in teaching basic engineering courses comes a need for better online collaboration tools. Many basic tasks, such as office hours, help sessions and even lecturing, can be done more efficiently and conveniently over the Internet with the right collaboration tools. However, there are few commercially available tools that work well for engineering. Engineers have special needs like vector-based graphics that can be edited, equations, illustrations, diagrams and other hard to create images. These tools also

Enhancing the Distant Classroom Experience using NUVIEW Brett Meyer, Dr. Timothy Wei, Dr. David Jones, Stuart Bernstein University of Nebraska, LincolnAbstractThe authors set out to create a synchronous distance learning platform to facilitate interactivelearning, and diminish learner remoteness in the contiguous and distant classrooms. Thisplatform would encourage student to student interaction, and student to instructor interactionbetween classrooms. The researchers based their concept of the multi-site platform on thepedagogical concepts of social presence, cooperative learning, and classroominteraction.

An Applied Approach to Teaching Modern Power Electronics Dr. Raghav Khanna, University of ToledoUniversity level power electronics courses have been offered for a number of years, even prior tothe emergent demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles. However, these courses weretaught in the conventional “textbook” manner, with little to no emphasis on current industrystandards [1]. During the spring semester of 2015, the author taught a modern version of PowerElectronics at Bucknell University, with a particular emphasis on industry standards, and trend-setters in next generation power electronics. The course begins as conventional power electroniccourses do, with an introduction to low voltage

Interestingly, both engineering and scientificallyfocused industries are expecting both innovative and entrepreneurial skills in their degreedemployees. To meet the need of measuring whether engineering programs are inspiring andcultivating creativity and innovation (a recognized precursor of entrepreneurship,) I designed anengineering creativity and innovation index.
