Graduate Program at the University of Hartford attracts a diverse studentpopulation. There are native and international students of many faiths and cultures, and typicallya small number of Muslim students. Over the years we have had students from Saudi Arabia,Turkey, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Palestine. The majority of our students have littleif any exposure to the Muslim faith and culture. Therefore, for some a great deal of research isrequired for this 6-week long architectural design project.Project LocationIn an effort to keep the project fresh, we have used different sites, all of which come with uniqueissues. We have used sites in NYC (the Mosque at Ground Zero), in Hartford, CT (in the Proceedings of the 2018

DescriptionThis is a professional track work study academic program combined with application training onactual industrial problems. At the same time students are exposed to real-world problems throughhands-on experience. The program consists of one program coordinator from GE Transportationand one program coordinator from Gannon University. Students are selected for this track basedon academic background, self motivation, and leadership, interpersonal and communicationsskills. Each student is assigned a Gannon University professor as a mentor while working at GETransportation. The mentor advises the student on his academic work and guides the student onengineering projects related to GE Transportation. The projects are carefully chosen to

Ways in whichthe IRE model promotes professionalism are: practicing professionalism, practicing teamwork, and working alongside peers and superiors.Practicing everyday professionalism that one would experience in the work place. Including social aspects, 40-hourworkweeks, business attire, and every day ethics.Practicing teamwork on teams of multi-disciplined engineering students. This allows students to gain differentperspectives of a shared focusWorking along side peers and superiors.

This would promote communication between engineers during theentire design process, thus advancing the progress of the design paradigm termed “concurrentengineering”. These skills can be taught by integrating engineering drawings into existing designprojects. This paper describes the integration of graphics and rapid prototyping into an electroniccircuit design class and the outcome of the project. I.

Faculty respondents in a 2019 bioengineering design education workshop reported thatbioengineering departments have specific strengths in teaching interdisciplinary knowledge,communication, client needs, human anatomy and physiology, biological constraints, andinteraction with clinicians [26].

Engineering EducationIn materials science education, there have been attempts reported in the literature to enhance theeducational experience of students3-7. However, most reported efforts typically revolve aroundcomputer use through enhanced graphics, animations, virtual experimentation, etc., which areagain factory packaged. However, it is not common to come up with open-ended problems, i.e.PBL, and let the students on their own define what the problem really is and solve it within somegiven guidelines, especially problems that involve hands-on type work. In this paper, the authorattempts just that by providing here a list of small project/assignment ideas that serve as PBLexperiments a materials science/engineering teacher can possibly assign to

However, many of these practices pose challenges on a virtualcollege campus or in an online classroom. This paper explores a case study where servicelearning projects were incorporated into two introductory engineering classes, one taught in atraditional face-to-face format and the other taught online. In this case study, the face-to-facestudents worked in small groups with a local historical

This involved investigation of how a steerable nosewheel operateson an actual airplane. Based on these specifications, the students were challenged todesign a mechanical linkage system that allows the freedom of movement to meet thesespecifications.This design project gives engineering students an opportunity to apply design principlesto a practical project.

Just as their counterparts in industry, the faculty need to belifelong learners1. One of the best ways for a faculty member to maintain technical currency is tobecome involved in industrial projects as a consultant or in a school center that conducts appliedresearch. Besides keeping faculty members’ technical skills up-to-date, involvement in appliedresearch and consulting renders other benefits such as: (1) providing real-world case studies to beused in classrooms and laboratories, (2) strengthening relationships between the school andindustry which can boost corporate donations to the school and
