Session: 2176 Longitudinal Evaluation of Innovative Technology Based Curricula: Integrating the Learning of Mathematics with Applied Science and Engineering Dianna L. Newman, Kenneth S. Manning, Mark Holmes, Robert Spilker University at Albany SUNY/ Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteThe role of technology as a support to instruction and curriculum is now a major concern ofhigher education faculty. An increasing number of students and instructors are using technologyboth in and out of traditional classroom settings. As these changes are being integrated andimplemented, developers and
and EnvironmentalEngineering, 1947 12th North Street, PA 19122.AbstractThe retention of underrepresented minorities has been a major concern for many colleges in theUnited States (U.S.). A study conducted in 2020 shows that, in U.S. colleges, the gap in persistenceand retention rates between minority students and Caucasian students is likely as wide as 24%.Therefore, it is necessary to strategically bridge the afore-stated gap through strategicinterventions. This research proposal will begin by analyzing the first two years of engineeringcollege students’ education to identify key factors that are attritional to minority students’persistence and retention rates and will then suggest appropriate interventions that couldpotentially reduce the

The engineer is an essentialmember of the team of professionals that are responsible for the planning, design, constructionand operation of efficient, effective, safe and secure facilities. The Civil Engineering discipline isthe appropriate professional arena to meet these needs and civil engineering education is theappropriate educational foundation to prepare students to serve as engineers for the UrbanInfrastructure. This paper presents some of the current problems associated with the urbaninfrastructure and suggests the role

along with this tendency is recognition that over the pastcentury there have been significant shifts in the domain encompassing EE: Power transmission/rotating machinery to electronics; Vacuum tube technology to semiconductors; Discrete circuits to integrated circuits; Analog electronics to digital electronics; Fixed devices to programmable digital hardware.By natural extension, the design of computer architectures, with relevant concepts andtheories, and concurrent ‘hands on’ practice are considered a part of the educationalexperience of students needed to ensure success in the modern industrial/corporateenvironment. Hence the rise of CompE with its ‘classic’ complement of subject matter: basicscience and
, computer science and engineering,electrical engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering.Assessment of current practices is achieved through quantitative and qualitativequestionnaires completed by administrators of each school, questionnaires completed byfaculty at the school, and on-site interviews with deans, department heads and senioradministration of the school. Additionally, surveys of alumni, human resources managers,and line managers in industry provide external views to support assessment of theschools’ educational practices. Practices at a school are compared with the vision,mission and goals developed by the school. The findings and conclusions of the studyare shared among all the universities with the goal
