engineering field.From the age of infancy to just before kindergarten, children absorb information like a sponge.The skills needed to become a computer engineer include heavy communication skills andanalytical/critical thinking skills. These skills needed to become computer engineers can betaught as early as The Children Center teachers fundamental motor skills to infants. Focusingchildren on LDC (language development and communication), MTE (mathematical thinking andexpression), and CD (cognitive development) can tune a child from an early age to have the mindof a computer engineer. Programs can be developed in schools and early childcare facilities likeTCC, for children to have like-minded computer-focused skills. These programs would be forlong

The advisorygroups are sometimes used to provide a certain type of membership status, for example inArchitectural Engineering Technology programs often seek out retired construction related firmleaders or potential donors. Keep in mind that advisory groups do not have formal authority togovern the organization, that is, they cannot issue directives that must be followed. Rather,advisory groups serve to make recommendations and/or provide key information, materials, andresources to the program’s leadership.3We have been fortunate to attract industry leaders from different parts of the constructionindustry to actively participate on the advisory board and

Pernicious Einstellung (Set) EffectAbstract – The Einstellung Effect occurs when the first solution that comes to mind, often triggeredby improper initial intuition, prevents a correct solution from being found. The Einstellung effecthas been a frequent stumbling block for students when learning dynamics due to their conceptualmisunderstanding. Although the phenomenon has been studied in cognitive psychology, it has notbeen seen in the engineering education literature. This paper will investigate how scaffoldingthrough proper question prompts could avoid this phenomenon. Examples and assessment resultswill be provided to demonstrate the effectiveness.By sharing our practice on the Einstellung effect prevention, we intend to inform

Concept maps (and mind maps) are both mainly used to representhierarchical information with the most important topic at the center (or top), and subtopicsarranged in a tree.

Full Paper: Advice From a First Year StudentAbstractMuch attention is paid to the transition from high school to college. Students who haverecently gone through this transition may have some of the best advice to offer in-comingfirst year students. With this in mind, 152 students completing the second course of acommon first year engineering program were given team assignments (for a total of 42teams) asking them to provide approximately 6 pieces of advice for next year’s first yearstudents. Major advice offered by the students included the following themes: timemanagement, utilizing resources, hard work, preparation (the importance of which maybe emphasized by the “flipped “class format), teaming (which may have arisen due to theteam-nature

First the student gets a strong background in classes. During the graduateinternship, the student gets a deeper background and foundation on the topic. Additionally s/helearns the constraints, limitations and other issues that must be addressed within the industrialenvironment that might be overlooked in academics.
