At present very few students from these schools come to ASU forengineering. We will discuss the primary needs of such CCs as they attempt to build up their pre-engineering programs. Complete articulation agreements already exist with ASU for each CC inthe state of Arizona. This collaboration includes a visit each semester by an ASU team to eachCC. At least one of these events each year will also include high

Page 14.525.3Theoretical FrameworkThe recent national emphasis on the design, development, and implementation of K-12engineering education curricula has increased interest in assessing students’ knowledge ofengineering. Many adults and students in the US have deficient understandings of engineers andwhat engineers do1. In addition, engineering is among the least gender equitable professions witha workforce that is only 11% female2. Researchers have argued that the cause for such adiscrepancy has

RASSP E&F University Education Page 1.27.7 1996 ASEE Annual Conference Proceedings The current curricula for digital system design was developed in the early 1980's with the onset of thesilicon revolution. The focus has been on the design of products that are relatively simple and inflexible inapplication, and can be rapidly realized out of simpler hardware building blocks and
criteria, whose values are generally computable by application of engineering science principles...[D]esign evaluation must include cost, manufacturability, marketing, and other factors in addition to the functional and technical issues that can be analyzed using engineering science...By limiting design education to technical design issues, we omit the rest of the engineering design process...[S]tudents learn very little about the current methods used in industry to apply the principles of these engineering sciences in real design or analysis situations.” (Dixon, 1991)The goal of the life-cycle engineering class is to teach students the tools and methodologiesnecessary to perform this more complete design evaluation.1.2 Life-cycle EngineeringLife

Most faculty feelthat their definition of AED is the same as their school’s, but many express uncertainty about theexistence of a national definition. Similarly there is considerable agreement that more than onediscipline (Architecture, Structure, HVAC, Electrical, Construction Management) is required toconstitute AED, but there is marked disagreement about what specific ones should be included,with opinions ranging from two to all five.IntroductionDesign is what most of our graduates do Some of course will work constructing other s designs funding and approving designs or perhaps analyzing the successes and failures of the design

As with all of the trends discussed in this section, balance has to be struck between well-proven historical methodologies and new and (potentially) improved ones. Page 14.293.76. Hybridization of Academic Disciplines: Another recent trend is hybridization of academic disciplines, both in academia and profession(s). This offers certain advantages, for example, resource pooling and broader perspectives on problem solving. It reflects increasing hybridization of disciplines in the

the use of this new technological process for economic reasons?This paper will apply a series of existing theories developed from the post World War II periodto the pre CAD period of the 1980’s to explain technological changes and apply them tocomputer automation design process of today. These ideas will help to develop a theory tounderstand this new design process. It will outline characteristics of this new design process andpresent a framework to examine the effects in a Construction Design course. Student surveysand supporting data are presented. Recommendations for new assessment are offered. Thelarger goal of this paper is to obtain feedback for a more serious journal length article.Theoretical BackgroundThere is a substantial body of

semesters of Aliceinstruction included replacing storyboarding with flowcharting. The instructors felt thatflowcharting was a more appropriate algorithm development tool due to the increasinglymathematical nature of the assigned Alice exercises and homework.All of the Alice lessons necessitated the use of laptop computers by the students. Eachclassroom had a teaching assistant who was proficient in Alice programming. Weekly lessons ofAlice involved two parts: (1) lecture containing new programming concept(s) with hands-onexercise (2) continuation of week’s concept with hands-on exercise in the workshop andappropriate homework assignment. Weekly lessons covered the following topics: flowcharting,objects, classes, control structures including

object is from the center of the robot. It was determined thatthree sensors in the front and one in the rear of the vehicle will be sufficient to help in the controlof the navigation. The three sensors (SRF 04) [3] in the front are the main source for detectingthe location of close physical obstacles. In arranging the front sensors like this, the desire was togain information not only about how far away each obstacle is, but also an approximation on thelocation of each obstacle. The first way this is accomplished is if there is an object detected onone or two of the sensors and not on the other(s). For example, if an object is detected on the left and center sensors, but not on the right, then the object is located to the

Curriculum for Innovative Design,” sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology (formerly National Science Council), Taiwan, under Grant no. NSC 102-‐2511-‐S-‐002-‐011-‐MY3. Teachers engaging in interdisciplinary curriculum are often freed from isolation, allowed toactively take on multiple roles in teaching,10 and supported in reconstructing their roles andviews on their profession.6 On the other hand, some kind of mechanism—either institutionalor social—also needs to be in place in order to foster interdisciplinary cooperation amongteachers in the long run.8 In December 2013, three university teachers from civil engineering (CE), building andplanning (B&P), and futures studies (FS) embarked on a 3-year

. The symbol m represents mass (in kg) and v is velocity (m/s) so the units of KE are kg*(m/sec)2 or (kg m/sec2)*m = N*m = Joule = J. How much energy is in one joule? A 100-watt lightbulb uses 3.6 x 105 J in one hour (so a joule is pretty small in the grand scale of energy), so we typically work with kJ = 1000 J. Another commonly used unit of energy is the calorie (cal), originally defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C but is now defined as 4.184 J (exactly) so a calorie is about
