to change the level of participation of students byincreasing expectation and so making students more responsible for their ownlearning 10, 11.A possible approach to teaching computer networks topics is to allow students tolearn using real networks. Traditionally, computer networks courses have notprovided students with hands-on access to networking equipment and software; costand implementations factors have made it difficult 12,13. However, due to increasingpopularity of vendor-based courses as components of undergraduate curricula,students now have the opportunity to study a more practical approach and henceprogram networking devices (switches, routers). Furthermore, relatively inexpensiveequipment, such as switches and routers, and

Second,science fiction provides a mental laboratory in which students can perform thought experimentswith new technology. Third, a science fiction course can allow engineering students to interactwith students in less technical disciplines. This cross-fertilization is often very helpful inworking through issues of technology and its interaction with the human society within which itis embedded.I. IntroductionArchibald Putt has said “technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understandwhat they do not manage and those who manage what they do not understand.” We generallysuppose engineers, the designers of technology

from the learningtask. Fourth, feedback apparently plays a minor role in actual classroom situations. Fifth,teaching students to provide their own feedback and explanation is an effective alternative.These findings suggest that instructors may be more effective if they put less effort into gradingand commenting on students’ products and more effort into structuring their courses to helpstudents learn how to assess and reflect on their state of learning themselves. Two specificpedagogical strategies are suggested. First, giving students more assignments than the instructorcould grade or comment on will provide more of the kinds of practice they need to developexpertise. Second, helping students to learn how to assess and reflect on their state

andeducation of an engineer is now compared to that of an engineering technologist and othertechnologists (e.g., in terms of math/theory in the education, in terms of ability to work hands-on,and in terms of job roles in a interdisciplinary team). Students are now better exposed totechnology-related degree options other than engineering.Second, a technology professor joined the EGR120 teaching team. The course has since beenbroken into four curriculum blocks, taught “round-robin” by four professors: an EE section, anME section, a general engineering profession and projects section, and a hands-on/laboratory(technology-professor) section. The hope is that students who are dissatisfied with engineeringwill now have a contact and familiarity elsewhere in

In each session, a panel of three tenured faculty (one senior and two recently tenured)spoke about what was required for success and answered junior faculty questions. Following thethree sessions, the junior faculty had lunch with senior administrators and a discussion with theengineering dean.A particular problem in new faculty integration is bringing women into departments in whichfew or no women currently work.

The goal of thispaper is to describe the course, report on our instructive experience and students’ evaluation ofthe class and suggest future teaching strategies. Twelve, two-hour weekly sessions werescheduled during the fall 2001 semester to teach this course. Based on our experience, webelieve that the integration of ADAMS into existing bioengineering courses can greatly improvestudents’ understanding of biomechanical systems, while simultaneously adding to theirengineering skills. However, the efficient use of this software requires training and regular use.We suggest that students be required to take a course similar to the Introduction to ADAMS forBioengineers course discussed in this

This is importantbecause rural high schools often cannot afford quality laboratory equipment like universityresearchers use. While schools closer to universities might have access to these resources simplydue to the privilege of proximity, the nature of geographic isolation for much of rural Coloradomakes accessing university resources a challenge.

[4]. This was found to better prepare students for lectureson new concepts, as well as give instructors more time to teach the new concept in class as theydid not need to review prerequisite knowledge with students [4]. Similarly, another study foundthat having more tutorials or example problems was helpful in engineering students'comprehension of math [12]. Other studies tested new e-learning practices and programs [5], [9-10]. They found that this style of learning was the best alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic;however, it also produced more confusion during certain laboratory activities [5], [10].
