On the other, engineers are exposed to thesedocuments as soon as they start their career either in design or in construction. The objective is tointroduce the students to routine documents in workspace, to prevent the strangeness of suchmaterial to a novice engineer in career.Selection of the Project TypesSeveral criteria were considered in selecting the term project content. It should be carefullydesigned and presented to meet the learning objectives and not include any complex problem inthe early stages at least. Based on the students’ progress and

faculty members who are dedicated toadvancing educational reform have recognized the inadequacies of passive lecture-basedinstruction. They understand that it should be replaced by active, integrated, and project-basedlearning methods [6].According to Jonassen, Strobel and Lee (2006) [7, 10] Problem-based learning transform theclassroom into an example of a professional engineering environment, providing students withthe experience and skills they need to excel in their future careers. Frank and Brazilai 2002 [8,10] McAlpine, Reidsema and Allen (2006) [9, 10] Project and problem-based learning methodsinspire active learning and development of interdisciplinary knowledge [10].Engineering educators believe that students should possess the

Students can register for a free introductory course in RFEM ®,concurrently model along, ask questions, and receive all training materials after the presentation forcontinued access.While universities and students greatly benefit from these educational opportunities, Dlubal equallyvalues the relationship with the academic community and the ability to engage with the futureengineering generation.

The original intention from stakeholders when developingthe experience was that the two courses would be strongly integrated (i.e., coupled) across alldimensions. For example, instructors would collaborate on course design and curriculum, thematerial students received passively in lecture would be applied actively in lab, and instructionalscaffolding would be prioritized (Kanu, 2017). From the Fall of 2016 through the Fall of 2022 (six instances), ENGT18000 was taught by aMechanical Engineering Technology (MET) associate professor (now Emeritus) andENGT18100 by an Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) associate professor at PPNA.

Thus, theenrollment of our participants in graduate programs continues to enhance diversity inengineering and the field of BMMB. Going forward we will continue to track the progress ofparticipants and the careers they choose after completion of their graduate degrees. We will alsocontinue to use student feedback to improve the experience for participants. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference ProceedingsIntroductionA fundamental value of a REU is the research experience students acquire.

Goodrich Michael Q. Mullinix Anderson University Anderson University Anderson University bdmcpheron@anderson.eduAbstractMany engineering disciplines require an undergraduate course in control systems, but fewintroduce students to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are commonly used toimplement real-time process control in industry. Curricular exposure to PLC systems is desirablefor many internship and full-time career opportunities for students studying
in first-yearstudents [24]. The improvement observed in this case in the first year could lead to an overallimprovement in the student’s engineering identity throughout their undergraduate career.

However,in many engineering disciplines, individuals have more earning potential and career trajectoryoptions with a master’s degree.

Moreover, strengthening the vertical transfer pathway to engineering disciplinescan improve equity by increasing the social and economic mobility of this diverse subpopulationof students (Dowd, 2012; Terenzini et al., 2014).

. If a class only examineshistorical events, it will neglect the study of technologies that are on the horizon, whichgraduating engineers will actually work on over the course of their careers. Right now, some of the technologies that will shape the next decade and beyond are quiteclear. It’s obvious that virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and autonomous vehicles will all playa role in shaping our future. But as these technologies develop, there aren’t case studies to use toproperly analyze or discuss them in a classroom setting. This is where science fiction can play animportant role. Writers have been writing about these technologies for as long as we haveimagined them. In fact, the term Metaverse first appeared in the 1992
communication as well as learning technical and problem-solving skills and how to utilize the design process. The combination of studying both Business and Engineering disciplines has introduced me to a wide variety of careers in which both leadership and problem-solving skills will be necessary. I have been exposed to the most important aspects of both the business and engineering disciplines, which is extremely beneficial in a world where technology is becoming increasingly dominate.Multidisciplinary teaming can be challenging; however, the response has been positive amongstthe engineering students with the VIP and EPICS Programs. One of the engineering leaders inan EPICS team appreciated students who had expertise and
their engagement, learning, andachievement while removing the demotivation and mental stress of having lower grades [37].Faculty can also make students see the importance of the class at the beginning of the semester.Asking students what they want to take from the class and apply it in their career as theassignment after the first lecture can promote intrinsic motivation. In addition, faculty shouldutilize active learning pedagogy that has shown evidence to increase student engagement duringcourse learning.References[1] R. M. Gonyea, K. A. Kish, G. D. Kuh, R. N.

undergraduate students arepursuing careers as network and security administrators, and the program is developed tosupport this need. Most of the undergraduate students in our program have received anA.S. degree in Computer Technology from a 2-year college. This A.S. programconcentrates heavily on the basics of networking and operating system administration.Along the way, students have the opportunity and are encouraged to pursue variouscertifications in network and system administration. By the time students arrive at UCFand begin their specialization in security, they already have a strong background in thebasics of system and network administration. However, their education prior to UCFtends towards very detailed training on a limited set of tools
think.This knowledge enabled him to improve his own teaching skills for this specific course and itwill have a similar effect in the long term teaching career as well. Additionally, this experiencehelped the instructor to discover his own teaching shortcomings and mistakes. This wasaccomplished by listening to the student in charge and by observing the classmates who arelistening and trying to understand. Teaching shortcomings and mistakes can be generallyrectified but they have to be identified first. The instructor learned something else which is alsovery important from this process. By occupying a neutral seat, he learned possible and potentialstudents pitfalls. In normal teaching setting, the instructor does not easily recognize thesedangerous
appreciation of the role thatmanagement will play in their long-term careers. Management studies that are not presented inan engineering context will only prolong this ignorance, (p.8).” 2Several approaches have been attempted and researched to incorporate practical applications,class participation, and active learning for engineering students. Significant educationalinstruction and research attempting, to address these issues have been done by courses designedto build engineering entrepreneurship. 3,4 The reasoning behind this is simple, “Engineeringstudents typically go through school completing assignments that are generated by academiciansand quite often this either cannot or does not reflect the commercial world.” 5 The desire toincorporate real
introductory coursesare geared to early career undergraduates and held in conjunction with other general educationrequirements. These classes are one credit, fifty-minute classes that meet once a week. Eachclass begins with a cursory explanation of this method before moving into a few short examplesthat the class moves through evaluating together. In all cases, the starting point is the IF I andthinking about biases. This class evaluation method uses three examples that are handpicked bythe instructor to share differences in “acceptable” and “further review needed” sources based ona topic. The terms “good” and “bad” are not used in this context. The reasoning behind this isthat one resource utilizes sound research but is not relevant to the topic
