. Generally such Introduction to Engineering courses do not have significantconstituencies of undecided students exploring engineering as a career option. This is regrettablebecause it has been shown that non-engineers have a high interest in understanding how thingswork and in having a more empowered relationship with technology [1]. Lack of an appealinggateway course could be partly responsible for the lack of gender and ethnic diversity inengineering.Method:To develop an Introduction to Engineering course that can meet the needs ofundergraduates with varying degrees of commitment to engineering an approach was developedthat focuses on the nature of technological systems and the various processes utilized by

Participants will have a hands-on experience, acting asstudents in a “train the trainer” format. Three topics will be introduced: 1) The Gallery Walkmethod, 2) Problem Decomposition, and 3) The Brainsketching ideation technique. A briefpreview of next steps will be presented as well.Workshop OverviewThe five step process covered in the workshop will allow participants to experience and ACLapproach successfully used with freshman engineering students. Participants will be divided intoteams of four or five to engage in the workshop activities. In Step 1, each team will be given“bugs

Learning in Engineering EducationGames and gamification implementations can be very powerful experiential learningopportunities for students that connect their time in play back to course material. The use ofgames within engineering classes has steadily increased, as evidenced by increasing numbers ofpublications on their implementation and effectiveness [1]. Games within engineering classescan include classroom games (board, card, and live action), digital games, and gamificationelements. However, there are still many faculty that aren’t aware of this pedagogy. Thisworkshop paper will provide an overview of what defines a game, how has game-based learningbeen applied within engineering and the process for connecting

timescales of retransmission timeout (RTO) where the minimumrecommend RTO is 1 second. Attacke consists of periodic “on-off bursts” exploiting thehomogeneity of the TCP’s RTO mechanism. Attackers send burst packets to overflow user’srouter queue and it causes packet loss, so users enter RTT. Attacks continue sending packets tomake the TCP enters the RTO so that they can occupy a server. Consequently, TCP source willback off to recover from the congestion and retransmit only after one RTO. Attacks are a largenumber of compromised machines involved in attack and approach low-rate transmission ofpackets towards to occupy nodes. When such a burst attack arrives at the bottleneck link, TCPsenders stop transmitting packets and enter timeout state due to

the start, middle, and end of the semester11.ImplementationAt Stevens Institute of Technology, the spatial skills enhancement program was piloted in 2016 asa part of E 120: Engineering Graphics, a required course for all incoming freshmen in engineering.To assess initial spatial ability, all first-year engineering students were required to take the PSVT:Rduring the first week of the semester. Students were then placed in one of three categories basedon their test scores: Spatial Novice, Spatial Intermediate, and Spatial Master. A different pointvalue was associated with each category, as shown in Table 1, with a maximum of five pointstranslating to full credit for the 5% of the semester course grade as suggested by Segil et al.10

IntroductionThe field of prosthetics focuses on the development of artificial limbs to help restore functionalityto persons who have lost or are missing one or more limbs. Early prosthetics made use of wood,copper, iron, and steel, but had limited functionality. At present, modern technology, such as 3Dprinting and connected devices, can be used to produce advanced prosthetic limbs. Nearly twomillion amputees are living in the US, and 54% of them has vascular diseases including diabetesand peripheral arterial disease [1]. Patients in this category can see benefits from the applicationof connected devices to the area of healthcare devices. These benefits may include the

Historically black colleges anduniversities (HBCUs) play a significant role in producing African-American scientists. While in recentyears African-Americans made up only 8% of STEM baccalaureate degrees awarded [1][2],approximately 20% completed their STEM undergraduate degrees at HBCUs [1], which constitute only3% of the post-secondary institutions in the United States [3]. HBCUs have a rich history in trainingtalented students in STEM disciplines and are important sources of future African-American science andengineering doctorate recipients [4].

Instead,spatial ability is usually developed through life experiences, such as building with LEGO©, playing videogames, playing certain sports, and other activities.There are significant gender differences in spatial skills competence, with women and underrepresentedminorities displaying lower spatial skills ability than men [3-8]. These students often struggle andeventually

In truth, one often has noidea of how one’s effort is perceived on the job until the yearly evaluation. Dependingupon the manager, then it may have little to do with the year’s work. This vaguenessmay be tolerated in the workplace but was not considered acceptable to the class.To address the students’ desire for a grading scale they could more easily understand anddiscuss, a performance scale similar to some seen in industry was devised as shown inFigure 1. Although it is not perfect, it--like most performance appraisal systems--is stillevolving. Student input is invited at the beginning of each semester to help

concludes with a list ofresources that include many more active and cooperative learning exercises.1. IntroductionIn bygone days, the “sage on the stage” was seen as the consummate teacher. Authoritative andentertaining, his words were eagerly listened to by students, and dutifully copied into spiralnotebooks. But today, the competition is tougher. Students grow up with interactive games,watch video on their cellphones, and surf the Web from their laptops during class. To be sure,spellbinding lecturers still exist, but most of us would not count ourselves among them. We canstill use class time to deliver an abridged oral rendition of the textbook, but the majority ofstudents will see it as a waste of time. We can do better.Active and collaborative
