Recent advancesin Internet technology offer a myriad of possibilities for IRIMs. In this paper, we outline howIRIMs can be used to promote multidisciplinary learning, to illustrate difficult concepts throughaudio-visual aids, for the development of virtual/real
Comparative Analysis of Engineering Ethics TextbooksABSTRACT - Engineers play a critical role in bettering humanity via technological andscientific innovations. This ethical responsibility to the practice of engineering is the reason thatengineering ethics is required of all accredited engineering programs at all levels of education,and engineering ethics is required of all facets of professional licensure in engineering. Educatorsat all levels leverage textbooks to teach engineering ethics. In this paper, we conduct asystematic, comparative review of twenty-six of the most widely used engineering ethicstextbooks. This comparative analysis has enabled us to identify over forty thematic topics thatare collectively covered across these twenty

The revolution hinderedtheir social and technological advances needed to feed China's populationand improve their standard of living. It is ironic that the young peoplewho initially strongly supported the revolution were the ones who forceda halt to the activities. It must be recognized that some progress wasmade in engineering education even during these chaotic conditions.Positive elements, including the balance of theory versus experimentation,the integration of knowledge with practical applications and the inter-action of universities and factories, were stressed during this period

ItIntroductionThe world’s increasingly global economy has created a steadily growing market for engineerswho can work in a globalized environment (Jesiek & Beddoes, 2010). The need for suchengineers has increased even more rapidly in developing nations where population growthoutpaces technological solutions. To be competitive both at home and abroad, Americanengineers must learn how to interact productively with people from a range of cultures andcustoms (Ball, Zaugg, Davies, Tateishi, Parkingson, Gensen, & Magleby, 2012). Americaneducation must produce global engineers.Unfortunately, there is no standard definition of global engineer. A recent literature reviewreveals the extensive debate about this term. (See Jesiek, Zhu, Woo, Hompson, &

by anoverview of the context in which this study took place. We then present an analysis of the surveydata we collected that examines how students at our university conceptualize energy.Literature ReviewThe current body of literature in energy education explores not only the pedagogical aspects, butalso the nature of energy education. Energy is a foundational concept and is taught in manydifferent contexts, both within engineering and more broadly in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM). As we reviewed this literature, three major questions emerged:how do we define energy? (ontology), how do students conceptualize energy? (epistemology),and how do we teach energy? (pedagogy).An Ontological Question: How do we define energy?Energy

Our study evaluates gender diversity and ethnic diversity among U.S. citizensand permanent residents in terms of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and NativeAmericans. Engineering diversity remains a problem in the USA despite ongoing efforts bygovernment, academia, and the private sector. Chubin et. al.
