Hands on Education in Integrated Curriculum Lin Lin University of Southern Maine1. Introduction:It has been demonstrated by numerous studies that the combination of theory and hands-onexperience is a critical component of engineering education [1]. To teach engineering studentshow to design an experiment, preform a test, collect and analyze data, draw conclusions, etc. arecritical. Hands on laboratory experiences can be delivered in various ways. They are eitherintegrated into courses that contain both lectures and lab components or offered separately as labcourses.Traditionally, mechanical engineering programs offer 2 or 3 mechanical lab
for increased “relevancy” of engineering educationwith greater industry-academia collaboration on many fronts. It was inspired by a round tablediscussion, where engineering graduates of Region’s colleges have suggested ways to startdeveloping viable and enduring connections between local industries and the academicinstitutions of the Arab Gulf States. Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described. Training, capstone courses, consulting by facultymembers, and joint research projects, aimed at serving the interest of both parties (academia &the industrial partners) are also addressed. The
Science CoursesAbstractOnline teaching and learning has become a popular pedagogy for educators and students due tothe flexibility and accessibility of course materials. Many educators revised and redesigned theircourses and the methods of teaching to convey their courses online. Course managementsystems such as Blackboard, Moodle, and many others are widely adopted by universities andcolleges to provide a platform for educators to offer their courses in online settings. In addition,textbook publishers have started to develop and offer teaching resources such as; lecture slides,question banks, quizzes, and exams to assist online teaching. Although platforms and resourcesare available to support online teaching, designing, developing, and teaching
