The full questions and solutions can be foundonline at http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/sgleixner/ASEE. All of the exercises are designed tohighlight the main fundamental topic of the week and to bring in modern technologies related tomaterials engineering. The dual goal is to actively engage the students in the lecture as well asexcite them about materials engineering in general. In some of the exercises, students brainstormabout how a technology relates to the fundamental principles they are learning about (such as theatomic force microscope and the solar cell/ LED examples).

Students’ Programming Skills Through Hands-On Learning Activities Designed in MATLAB Live EditorAbstractWith the advances and rapid improvements in technology, engineering students are expected to haveprogramming skills to keep up with the evolving demands in their fields. However, among thevarious engineering programs including mechatronics and robotics, computer, and electrical,mechanical engineering students face the biggest challenge. While they are known to be goodproblem solvers, they often encounter struggles in programming. This challenge primarily stemsfrom the limited programming courses offered in the curriculum and a lack of exposure to low-costdata acquisition systems like Arduino within their

Previousstudies about raising interest in STEM majors focused on (a) the number of undergraduatestudents who decide on a major prior to attending college, (b) common misconceptions regardingthe STEM field, and (c) the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques to increase curiosity.However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, pedagogical techniques to introduce K-12 students tothe STEM fields must be adjusted. This paper investigates the effectiveness of variousmethods to engage and interact with K-12 students interested in STEM during the COVID-19 learning environment and discusses key conclusions from a pilot 90-minute virtual modulefor K-12

IntroductionThe Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Stony Brook University seeks to educateengineers who will possess basic concepts, proficiency in using modern tools, and necessary skillsto maintain the technological and economic competitiveness of United States. Our faculty istotally committed to this vision and understands that the realization of this goal requires anexpansion of the traditional

These generic and common knowledge are consistent withthe goal of engineering ethics education. Findings of the comparison also identify lessonsworth learning from each other. Based on the analysis results and the need for globalization,the paper attempts to highlight several key points of engineering ethics educational contents.Due to limited space, the findings which are expected to be helpful to the engineeringteachers and students in engineering ethics
