To compare the effect of OER on differenttypes of students, a graduate level course was offered by the Department of Civil Engineering(CE) at the University of Texas at Arlington to both engineering and non-engineering students.The enrollees were students from both construction management and construction engineeringprograms.The second step was the development of the new web-based OER system, which can be dividedinto three phases, including several sub-phases, as shown in Figure 1. The first phase was thepre-system development process. Prior to the

In addition to reporting that thesimulation was entertaining and engaging, the users showed substantial improvement inperformance [19].The project detailed in this paper is a virtual reality simulation of the photolithography process(Figure 1). The simulation will take the user from the start of the process to the finished result,measuring the user’s performance data as they move from step to step

The course is generally very popular with students and alumni whocomment favorably on its practicality and applicability in industry. Unfortunately, until recently,the Engineering Department’s manufacturing equipment made it impractical to have the studentsactually fabricate their designs.In the spring of 2013, a Stratasys Objet Model 30 3D printer was purchased to expand our rapidprototyping capabilities.

is that “the population of individuals whoare involved with or affected by technology…will be increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary.”This highlights one of the biggest pushes in recent years, which is for engineers who are able tofunction effectively on multidisciplinary teams.Often in engineering, when the term multidisciplinary is used, it refers to different branches ofengineering. A multidisciplinary team might have electrical, mechanical and industrial engineerson it. However, when students become practicing engineers, they will no longer be workingsolely with other engineers. Quite often, they will need to work with peers without a technicalbackground. For instance, their coworkers may have a business or management degree

The common engineeringteaching paradigm divides complex problems into many pieces which students are then taught tosolve independently, all the while anticipating that eventually, they will “be able to develop asolution by combining them…Eventually...the effort involved in learning about the small piecesis so overwhelming that we can longer synthesize the original problem–the parts become moreimportant than the whole.”1 Further, the engineering curricular focus on solving “one problem ata time,” assuming a singular answer or solution, stands in direct contrast to “the history ofmodern technology and society in all its vital messy complexity.”2 As Charles Vest, formerPresident of MIT writes, “There are two

Pascail1 contended that engineers must work and thinktechnical and human problems through together, without separating these two spheres.Ravesteijn et al.2 emphasized the engineers must acquire the ability to understanding socialdynamics of technology and to communicate facts, values and emotions on different levels.Santander Gana and Trejo Fuentes3 viewed technology as a human practice and a social activitythat develops as a result of various intrinsically-woven socio-cultural circumstances.

Theuniversities that are taking a more serious approach to EM think that EM growth in knowledgeparallels the growth of technology. They further feel that expansion of the EM knowledge base isnecessary to manage expanding technology. Yet, even these universities do not have a unifiedview of EM and their academic programs have significant differences.The Three Faces of Engineering ManagementThe Hicks et. al.2 (1999) study classified EM masters programs into three curricular groups.
