This paper presents the considerations undertaken in the design of thiscourse and the impact of this course on other courses in the program.Having the opportunity to design a completely new course with a focus on spatial analysis andengineering drawings for civil engineers has provided the opportunity to review commoneducational offerings in other civil engineering programs and textbooks from major publisherson engineering graphics. While there was some modernization in many University offerings, thetextbook resources were found to either be developed specifically for learning a software productor were a modestly

different high schools was enrolled in four differentengineering and computer science courses. These courses, offered at Lapeer Technology Center,provided a classroom environment similar to high school, using instructional materials relatingstudents‟ prior knowledge of science and math that are relevant in engineering education.A survey questionnaire was used to evaluate students‟ backgrounds in science and mathematics,perception and motivation towards engineering, and whether the pre-engineering programmotivated them towards engineering or other STEM disciplines. Classroom observation andchanges in participation were also made during the courses, to evaluate the level of motivation.The number of students from the first year pre-engineering cohort
. Most students today and engineering students in particularfeel so comfortable with information technology that they often think they are more adept atdoing research than they actually are. Trussell explains, “Students arriving at college are oftenill prepared to grapple with the information resources presented by the modern academic library.Compounding the problem is the fact that many students have come to believe that accessing andusing information is simple, a belief supported by commercial marketing practices and popularusage of the Internet. …Popular usage maybe easy, but effective research usage is not.”18Fosmire and Macklin agree and they contend: “…The bigger problem, however, lies in thefundamental belief that competence with
technology platform ardupilot, and 2) design and build aunique payload for the drone. The course assignments involve designing and building the device(a clear engineering challenge) with the more conceptual work of planning for its integration intopro-social organizational processes (a clear peace and justice challenge). To facilitate thisexploration, we have designed the course to minimize lectures and instead use class time forconversations and collaboration. This will be done through a combination of group discussions,team exercises, and collaborative workshops.This paper, submitted as a work-in-progress, presents the current state of our coursedevelopment. We discuss our learning outcomes, describe our pedagogical approaches, andidentify areas

enjoy a high standard of living because of technology and engineeringadvances. But in most developing countries the scenario is different. These countries arefacing serious productivity problems and poverty. The end user costs of basic necessitiessuch as water, energy, construction, transportation and communication are high compared toindustrialized countries, even though hourly labour costs are much lower (Trevelyan and Tilli2003). It is time to ask what engineers do in developing countries and under what conditionsthey do it. More specifically, we must understand how this differs from what they do inindustrialized countries. Are these differences affecting the way they think and act? Withthousands of excess graduates in engineering

The next time you’re having coffee with colleagues, ask them what they consider as the top areas of critical national importance, particularly when taken from the perspective of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). I’ll lay odds that you’ll hear many predictable responses from categories such as energy, sustainability, climate change, population, heath care, education and the like. I’ll also lay odds that few responses, if any, will relate to gender equality
