Paper ID #19526Incorporating Quantum Technologies into Engineering CurriculumDr. Hyung S. Choi, Greenville College Dr. Hyung S. Choi is Professor of Engineering and Physics, Chair of Physics Department, and Director of Engineering Program at Greenville College. Before he came to Greenville in 2013, he served as Director of Mathematics & Physical Sciences Division at the John Templeton Foundation, PA. He was a Visiting Researcher at Wycliff Hall, Oxford University; Visiting Fellow at St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge University; Witherspoon Fellow at CTNS, Berkeley.Dr. Choi received his Ph.D. in Physics from Graduate
Engineering from Notre Dame. Her research focuses primarily on Engineering Education issues with specific interest in the first-year curriculum, experiential learning, and diversity and inclusion.Dr. Kerry Meyers, University of Notre Dame Dr. Kerry Meyers holds a Ph.D. in Engineering Education (B.S. & M.S. Mechanical Engineering) and is specifically focused on programs that influence student’s experience, affect retention rates, and the factors that determine the overall long term success of students entering an engineering program. She is the Assistant Dean for Student Development in the College of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. She is committed to the betterment of the undergraduate curriculum and is
) has been moving from alargely non-traditional student body to a more typical college demographic. This is seen by manyas one of the causes of unmotivated behavior many see more frequently in recent years. Though thecauses may be less understood, many studies indicate the consequences of low motivation areserious and include low persistence in engineering majors1,2. The study outlined below focuses ontwo specific research questions. First, what demographic factors (e.g., age, sex) are most closelytied to high levels of motivation? We are considering levels of motivation to be manifest in pointsearned on low point-value assignments, typically an “un-motivating” assignment. Second, arethese factors different for engineering technology students

Powered by www.slayte.com Insights Provided by Student Feedback on Integrated E-Learning Modules Covering Entrepreneurial TopicsAs a best practice, it is customary to ask students for their feedback on curricular interventions. Thefeedback is typically used to justify further changes and ascertain how well they may accept theintervention for broader implementation. At the University of New Haven, 18 e-learning modules weredeveloped and integrated into courses spanning the 4-year engineering and computerscience majors' curricula. The modules centered on topics seen to contribute to the development ofstudents’ entrepreneurial mindset. We saw this as a way to assist faculty in leveraging

Dr. Ghasemloonia is a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Alberta.Dr. Meera NK Singh P.Eng., University of Calgary Dr. Meera Singh obtained her BSc from the University of Calgary, and her MSc and Ph.D from the University of Waterloo, Canada. Her MSc and PhD research was in the areas of elasticity, fracture me- chanics and fatigue life prediction. Following her PhD studies, she joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba, Canada, where she was a faculty member for 12 years. She then joined the same faculty at the University of Calgary in 2015. As a faculty member, Dr. Singh has conducted research in fracture, fatigue and

Thispaper aims to document the distribution of EnvE programs at PUIs and adjacent programs (i.e.Civil Engineering) that may pose an alternative path into EnvE practice for undergraduates.Further, preliminary curricular comparison among EnvE PUI programs is presented to provide arecord of current potential gaps in EnvE as taught at PUIs which lack graduate programs tosupplement specialization and provide additional technical research opportunities on campus forstudents and faculty.2.

So Few Textbook ChoicesLet's define Engineering Technology (ET), in contrast to what it isn’t: it's not Engineering orIndustrial Technology or Technician study. ABET’s website compares ET & Engr. thusly: “Engineering programs often focus on theory and conceptual design, while engineeringtechnology programs usually focus on application and implementation. Also, engineering programs typically require additional, higher-level mathematics,including multiple semesters of calculus and calculus-based theoretical science courses.Engineering technology programs typically focus on algebra, trigonometry, applied calculus, andother courses that are more practical than theoretical in nature.” 1Engineering Technology is a young
