The college doesnot pay high school teachers to deliver ENGR 102 HS since it is a dual credit offering in theirhigh school, however, a modest stipend is paid for workshop attendance and travel expenses arecovered. Faculty who teach the ENGR 102 course on campus spend time training the high schoolteachers. The high school and university ENGR 102 teaching teams bond in the retreat-likeatmosphere of the workshop and natural mentoring relationships form.The first two days of the workshop are for teachers new to the program and day one begins oncampus with tours of the UA College of Engineering laboratories and competition of paperwork.Teachers review the

A numberof surveys including a computer attitude survey, Alice pre-and post-test surveys were conductedduring Fall semester to assess the effectiveness of Alice instruction. We’ll briefly discuss ourfindings from the surveys before concluding the paper.Alice Programming SystemThe Alice system, which is provided free of charge (www.alice.org) as a public service byCarnegie Mellon University (CMU), provides a completely new approach to learningprogramming concepts. Alice uses a 3D Interactive Graphics Programming Environment to teachthe fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming. One of the major advantages ofusing Alice is the mitigation of syntax issues in lieu of teaching programming concepts. Asthose

Graduate programs provide the obvious benefitto a research mission of students that need to assist/conduct research and investigations in orderto pursue theses and projects. The availability of graduate students can, of course, also assistfaculty with the undergraduate program by serving as teaching assistants for labs and other taskssuch as grading assignments. Construction programs can have both a professional and researchfocus. Certainly the precedent-setters for professional construction graduate programs at manyinstitutions have been those programs in law, architecture, business, and medical specialties.A further benefit for the institution is that graduate programs help in retaining and recruitingmore

There is a potential major savings for industry in investing early in the educational process, rather than paying the bill later.• Major opportunities for reform exist but remain to be exploited. Significant advances have been made in our knowledge of how people learn and develop, while new teaching methods and curricular organization have been demonstrated1, 2, but have not been widely accepted.

In general, lectures, hands-on laboratory orworkshop sessions, and project-based work may all be included in manufacturing curricula.When teaching manufacturing courses and lectures are frequently utilized to provide studentswith an overview of the fundamental principles in the field. A range of different technologies canbe used to deliver a lecture such as online or in a classroom setting. Additionally, manufacturingcourses could also include hands-on laboratory or workshop sessions where students get to useactual manufacturing tools and equipment. These classes are made to give students real-worldexperience with procedures and methods employed in the field. Traditionally, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
