understanding. This paper will present the development, structure and lessons learned during the establishment of a blended flipped classroom for engineering students at the undergraduate level. A range of topics including software used for video development to evaluation and assessment techniques is discussed. Problem solving is a critical component of engineering education; an engineering student must be able to apply the knowledge gained from a lecture. However, duration of student contact in the classroom is constrained by credit hours. For many students, graded homework assignments and exams are the only experiences they have in solving complex engineering problems. Virtual lectures provide students the opportunity to apply their
and analyze real lifeengineering-mechanics problems. On the other hand, instructors’ challenge is to get the studentsto participate, focus, and understand the material during class periods. Turning Technology, LLCoffers a response system that can get immediate students’ participation and feedback. Thisinteractive system is used along with PowerPoint slides to facilitate and try to improve students’ learning experience in Statics at the Department of Engineering at UTM. The used technologywas found to be useful, effective, simple to use and inexpensive tool. This response system wasimplemented in teaching Statics as an auxiliary tool along with multiple-choice questions onvarious topics each class time. The course-textbook supplementary

It isimportant to create a unique learning environment regardless of the culture or language.Technology plays a key role in this objective, and with the advancements in technology,it is important for our university to aim to use the newest and most efficient technology inorder to encourage collaboration between learners, instructors and others in the academiccommunity. Being more efficient is important, but being cost effective is equallyimportant.Cloud computing is a technology that can be used to streamline the learning process andinfrastructure, making

complained that additional lab discussion on the machine, tooling,material, and inspection issues that affect part quality were irrelevant and thus a waste of time.After recognizing that the existing lab deliverables overly-emphasized part production tasks of amachinist or operator, lab assignments were modified to be framed as engineering team scenarioswhich required the production of a part, but for the purpose of testing, development ofengineering recommendations, and other reporting. Additional modifications to the courseincluded two new lab part designs that were real and useful take-home items, the reduction ofinitial course time spent on measurement instruments, and shifting of some lab demonstrationcontent to pre-existing video

The Decline of the Car Enthusiasts: Implications for Undergraduate Engineering Education M. Cardenas Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CaliforniaAbstractHands-on, project-based engineering education is alive and well. However, anecdotal evidenceindicates that we are seeing fewer undergraduate engineering students who arrive on campusalready knowing how to ‘use their hands’—having familiarity with tools and mechanicaldevices, knowing how to connect things, savvy about avoiding leaks in fluid systems, wary ofstripping a screw thread or shearing a bolt head—the kinds of things that an archetypal carenthusiast would have learned in high school.

. MCNP5/X can be used to model various nuclear engineering scenarios to include fundamental nuclear and atomic interactions, particle/photon transport, radiation shielding and detection, and nuclear reactor analysis. In the NE field, MCNP5/X is well respected and reliable, and its results offer excellent visualization for modeled scenarios. At West Point, the faculty uses a cognitive apprentice model to implement student use of MCNP5/X over a two-year period of studies. This is a three-phase developmental model that starts gradually with (1) faculty demonstrations and then with (2) student coaching in the laboratory context during the first year of the NE curriculum

This working student friendly program has beensuccessful and has resulted in steady growth of our distance education program.With more SV students entering the upper-division courses and with the limited availability oflab managers, our faculty and staff have been moving to a new model for off-campus laboratorysupport. This paper describes the first phases of the transition of our distance laboratories frombeing lab-manager centered to a distance environment in which instructors, through the use oftechnology, can remotely assist students with troubleshooting and provide feedback. Thisapproach also allows for the real-time interactive assessment of student lab work in a mannersimilar to that which is used on main
