donated by a member of our Executive Advisory Council to practice the skills of on-line research, hypothesis forming and testing, and reverse engineering to determine how these devices actually worked. This course includes a Short Course Module (for a system level understanding), Projects Module for hands-on appreciation and understanding of engineering, and a portion of a Challenges Module. This same cohort is currently enrolled in the Technical Writing course. This course is specifically designed to familiarize our engineering students with the content, organization, format, and style of specific types of engineering documents. The students are learning to compose within various genres such as instructions

Many collegeshave developed new first-year programs designed to smooth the transition from high school tocollege. Some focus on study skills and transition issues, others use learning communities tobuild a network of social support for the academic mission, and yet others build first-yearseminars connecting students with faculty research interests.6 Among engineering educationprograms, however, freshmen seminars typically focus on bringing engineering and design intothe curriculum earlier, largely to spur student motivation, retention, and assistance in choosing amajor.7,8,9 These first year engineering

Those numbers are comparable to the Census data forthe state where the research was conducted.The program was designed to promote hands-on learning with little passive classroom learning.The main theme of the engineering camp was water and environmental engineering. Before thecamp activities started, students completed a pre-camp survey to determine their perceptions ofand interest in STEM. The same survey was given to students at the end of the engineering campto determine the impact the camp experience had on improving students’ perceptions and interestin STEM.The first day of the engineering camp included activities to pique the students’ interest in usingSTEM activities to better manage water resources.

class named “Actuators and SensorsApplication in Robotics” in the department of MET at the New York City College of Technologyin which there are three levels of robotics classes 15,16. In this class, the students are assumed tolearn the applications of popular sensors and actuators and study wireless communication devicesand protocols. Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly. The educational aim specializes in robotics technology toprepare for career-based classes and laboratories

Eyler and Giles also found service-learning to impact positively: tolerance for diversity, personaldevelopment, interpersonal development, and community-to-college connections.

learning has yet to be seen [4]. The lackof remote teaching in engineering, prior to the pandemic, has been attributed to the inherentnature of the discipline, which requires hands-on training to work with instruments and materialsin controlled laboratory settings [5]. Learning experiences that support practical knowledge andskill development are essential for engineers but are difficult to create in a digital environment[5]. Consequently, researchers have claimed that transiting conventional engineering courses thatfocus on content-centered and designed-oriented learning to online may not provide studentswith the in-depth learning required in engineering [5-6]. Furthermore, converting conventionalengineering courses to remote instruction
an understanding of how current undergraduate engineering students andengineering faculty understand power and power dynamics, the research team developed a set ofworkshops for students and faculty to co-design inclusive practices while exploring their ownidentities with respect to power. Part of this study was exploring the possibility of consciousnessraising for students and faculty in their understanding of power.The participants were recruited from the College of Engineering at a large public university inthe Pacific Northwest. Recruitment emails were sent to various mailing lists and students wererecruited through large courses. The final set of participants included two faculty members, onegraduate student who had served as an

While such acourse seemed heavy for undergraduate students, it had the most promising results. Studentslearned an advanced subject usually taught at graduate schools, while it was completely hands-on. Students performed both independent and dependent work in the class. As a result, theyobtained enough knowledge to start working in the semiconductor industry. When the instructordiscussed with the experts in the industry, they stated that the industry required engineers at alllevels. While engineers with a master’s or doctoral degree would work on the research

In addition to teaching courses in the MLISprogram, Takle conducted research on foreign technical information. From 1963-64, she was theassistant director and senior investigator of the Foreign Engineering Literature Research Project.At the 1963 ASEE conference in Philadelphia, she presented her research on Germanengineering literature.[17] Takle’s academic career was short-lived.

For undergraduate institutions and specificallySchools of Engineering, Design and Technology intending to respond to the challenges ofthese increasingly important global contexts, a key emerging question is how best to preparestudents for such settings while continuing also with engineering fundamentals and theincreasingly complex technological subject matter.Clearly there can be several approaches to develop students for multi-disciplinary,international collaboration settings
