)Equations (28), (31), and (32) define the discrete electromagnetic system. This is not onlythe simplest discretization but also has some very nice properties. All the integralrelations and other theorems that are true of the continuum electric and magnetic fieldsare exactly true of this discretization, and can be proved using simple algebra. Forexample, adding up Equation (28) over a set of cells comprising a region of space givesthe integral form of the continuity equation, relating the sum of the charges in a region tothe sum of the discrete currents at its surface.The discrete electrodynamic system described above can be easily simulated on acomputer. The computation of electromagnetic fields is needed for an abundance ofeveryday applications
bepresented at the ASEE conference in June 2011 and published in a future paper.BackgroundIn the 1920s, less than a third of engineering educators considered the study of differentialequations to be necessary for an engineer’s education, now such study is integral to theengineering curriculum. In the engineering world of the future, a sound understanding of thetheoretical and practical sides of engineering ethics will be as necessary to the proper educationof engineers as a knowledge of differential equations is today, if not more so”.4Robin Tatu in her article “Knowledge Isn’t Enough” takes the famous quote from the Greekinventor Archimedes “Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth” and argues that “thepotential to wield such power is

Thismutual recognition highlights the importance of inclusivity and the impact it has on students' senseof belonging.Listening to Student VoicesUnderscored in the other themes, the last theme, Listening to Student Voices, explores beliefssurrounding the importance of making sure students feel comfortable speaking up and alsoincorporating feedback to foster an inclusive atmosphere. One student described the importanceof feeling listened to as related to feeling included. When I think of inclusive teaching, I think of making sure everyone in the classroom kind of

, planning, and implementing design solutions. Theauthors found that students who participated in the creative lab demonstrated a higher confidencein continuing in engineering coursework than those who did not. As the study states, “Creativityis an important attribute for engineers practicing their profession in a global society” [12].Although students struggled with the open-ended nature of the design problems, they enjoyed thecourse and saw the value in the addition to their curriculum. Illustrating the importance of incorporating real-world engineering design problems, Odehet al. write, “Nowadays, engineering education needs to meet the requirements and needs ofbusiness and industry. This can be achieved by collaborating with the local

, social, cultural, and economic issues thatare intimately connected to engineering issues and people affected by these engineeringchallenges. One of the most effective ways of providing our students these learning experiencesis through education abroad opportunities. Yet less than 4% of US engineering students studyabroad and there has been little growth in the past two years1. It is also well established that experiential, project/problem-based learning with an emphasison acquiring new knowledge and applying and integrating previous knowledge can be veryeffective structures for enhancing student learning2. These structures engage students in open-ended, ambiguous, authentic activities; and usually involve teams. It is learning that goes

born to families made up of engineers and otherprofessional in closely aligned fields (e.g., scientists), no one grows up using the language andliteracy practices of engineering, exactly. These abilities are taught and learned and make up thebasis for writing pedagogy in engineering education often called writing in the disciplines orwriting across the curriculum. The underlying the academic literacy practices in engineeringidentities resides an array of linguistic practices – what Gee would call ways of saying-being-doing-feeling. Considering the cultural basis for these ways of making meaning is important inthe age of AI as students collaborate with and negotiate language with large language models.However, before considering how language

The Bioengineering option will require that studentscomplete 20 hours of course materials, of which 17 hours are integrated into the currentcurriculum, specific to bioengineering concepts, which is spread amongst the current chemistryand chemical engineering requirements and is detailed in Table 2 below. The courses wereselected that would build the students knowledge, skills, and expertise in basic fundamentalbioengineering concepts. Students choosing the Bioengineering option will thus complete 141hours for an undergraduate baccalaureate degree in chemical engineering. Additionally,bioengineering concepts are being vertically and horizontally integrated throughout the chemicalengineering curriculum. The concentration requirements were

Students work through three modules, out of the 12 curricula offered,during the program three-week duration. Each week they construct a working model aligned withthe curriculum module for the end-of-week competition to test their ability to integrate conceptsthey learned during the week. These modules include teamwork efforts of communication andcollaboration.

Twenty studies, meeting study criteria, were coded for 39 variables in six categories. Studies were assigned to one of two groups based on the statistical evidence that was reported. Group I reported p-values only and Group II reported F, t, or chi square values. Significance of Group I studies is shown through a summary chi square and p value. A summary weighted unbiased effect size was determined for Group II studies. With only 0.07% of studies meeting search criteria, it was determined that there is a limited amount
