Currently, it offers certificates in mechatronics and mathematical modeling [1]. Onlineeducation is known to offer many advantages, and has grown considerably in the last fewdecades. One area of great potential for growth is in science and engineering. It is an area stillsubject to a subtle but not significant barrier to market entry [4].The role of API in the partnership included the design and delivery of suitable online curriculathat satisfy the needs of ENC, including:• electromechanical/mechatronics engineering• mechanical engineering• biomedical engineeringAccording to the Bureau of

Engaging Creativity: Classroom Exercises for Enhancing Engineering Students’ CreativeSelf Identity Thomas Ask Professor of Industrial Design Pennsylvania College of TechnologyABSTRACTSocial forces such as group dynamics and identity can nurture or inhibit creative behavior.Identity theories suggest both self-identify and group identity are mutable. In addition, engineersoften make decisions with insufficient information and this bounded rationality may motivatehistorically-grounded, low risk solutions, which are challenging dispositions to innovation.Consequently, epistemology connected with engineering design and problem solving

million.1In 2018, San Antonio will celebrate its 300th Anniversary. This occasion prompted the city’selected leaders to re-imagine the “river barge experience”, with a newly designed, sustainable,modular fleet, using innovative technology that could respond to the needs of both tourists andresidents. This new river barge experience would provide residents a transportation option fordaily commutes, while also serving the needs of the millions who visit the city every year. 1 Proceedings of the 2017 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Section Annual Conference Organized by The University of Texas at Dallas Copyright © 2017, American Society for Engineering Education 2017 ASEE

A more exciting application of this technology will be to bring the K-12 studentsinto the faculty member’s research laboratory to let them see activities and equipment that wouldnot be accessible to them at their school. We also wish to obtain better follow-up on student attitudes concerning engineering aftertheir teachers have been participants in our program. We are currently working with a facultymember in the Department of Educational Leadership and Counseling Psychology, whosespecialty is assessment, on developing an instrument to measure the student’s attitudes towardsengineering.
