PCM’s framework helps the course designer see the relationship of standard traditional methods of assessment (e.g., plug and chug problems, laboratory experiments, projects and presentations) in creating an engineering professional’s knowledge set. It provides a framework to balance the knowledge and skills since neither a “book smart” student nor the student who randomly tinkers makes the best engineer. ● Freedom to be flexible in selecting course components to meet objectives: The ideal method of teaching content depends on a number of changing factors such as student ability and background, instructor expertise, and resources available. Ideally, a course designer can select freely from the wide range of

. found that students in a non-traditional, problem-based learning environment, where they worked with real-life examples, hadmore advanced goal orientation, task value, use of learning strategies, critical thinking, self-regulation, effort, and peer learning, when compared to the control-group of students who weretaught in a traditional, textbook-oriented setting. Academics have gradually shifted from ateacher-oriented approach to a student-oriented approach, encouraging more independentlearning or self-regulated learning. How students become motivated and independent learnersrelies heavily on how the classroom and teaching is structured.14 Self-regulated learning is aform on non-traditional education that allows the student to take control of

facultymembers have sufficient qualifications to teach the courses and areas to which they are assigned. It isalso critically important that faculty members participate in professional development activities (i.e., life-long learning) in order to stay current in their fields as the self-study report requires detailed descriptionsof such activities for each faculty member. The department should have a professional developmentplan for faculty development, which should be available during the accreditation visit. As previouslymentioned, the faculty will be interviewed and if opportunities for professional development are lackingthat will probably come out in the interviews.Criterion 6Not every program can have new facilities and equipment, but every
. Laboratory exercises can often “Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright 2001, American Society for Engineering Education”provide reinforcement to core lecture material more effectively than a textbook. It seemsthat appropriate use of finite element software, utilizing the powerful graphicscapabilities of the software, can produce a similar reinforcing effect.2. FEA Software as a Teaching ToolClearly, FEA is a relevant topic to engineering education. As noted above, a level ofcompetency in FEA seems essential for engineers graduating in today’s technicalenvironment. Of course, learning to use software that produces accurate results, forexample, in a heat

by Making it FunAbstractThis paper describes a workshop, led by female Engineering Technology students with supportfrom female faculty members, that introduces engineering concepts to 4th -7th grade girls througha series of interactive laboratory experiments. The day-long workshops are offered to area GirlScouts and are intended to increase the girls’ interest in engineering. In support of this goal,hands-on experiments are carefully designed to: 1) show the girls that science can be both funand creative 2) connect science and engineering to things in everyday life that they already knowand care about 3) demonstrate that women can make a positive impact on the world with a careerin engineering.The workshops take place on the college campus

. To deal with these comments, the Dean instituted an avenue for all students in thecollege to develop these skills. As part of this initiative, new courses were developed. This paperwill discuss the various skills taught in these courses and their importance to the students and theindustry. This paper is a review of the literature on the need for teaching interpersonal skills toConstruction and Engineering (CE) Industry students. It also reviews qualitative data collectedover the period from 2015 to 2022. The qualitative results show that literature reinforceswhat industry has been saying for the past decade. CE students have been well prepared with thetechnical skills necessary to make their mark in the industry but, for the most part, are
