As director of the Human Instrumentation and Robotics (HIR) lab, she leads multiple lines of research in engineering dynamics with applications to wearable technology for analysis of human motion in a variety of contexts ranging from warfighters to astronauts. In addition to her engineering work, she also has an interest in engineering education research. As a doctoral student, she led a project aimed at improving the under- graduate educational experience by systematically incorporating sensor technology
faculty advisor at the start of the term. It seemed that these students were used toseeking an 'approved solution.'…" [17]While moving design education into first-year curricula and strategically inserting it into otherpoints in a student’s education are surely important steps to take, these do not addresssufficiently the existing hierarchy between science and design. In order to rearrange it,intervention must be initiated on the science side as well, intervention that goes beyondintroducing software for analysis and optimization and participating in emerging forms ofinstructional technologies.[18]One possible approach to rethinking the pedagogy of the engineering sciences is to begin withrecognition that engineering is always problem solving

sketch ofABET’s history.ABET was founded in 1932 as the Engineers Council for Professional Development (ECPD).The first date for the accreditation of engineering programs is 1936. In just a couple of years, agood number of engineering programs will celebrate 70 years of continuous accreditation.Shortly after WW II, ECPD began accrediting associate degree programs. In the late 1960’sECPD began accrediting BS programs in engineering technology. In the present ABETorganization, engineering programs are accredited under the aegis of the EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) and those in engineering technology are accredited by theTechnology Accreditation Commission (TAC). With the recent merger of ABET and theComputer Science Accreditation Board

The main mission of ASEE is to provide benefits to its members, and it has been ourexperience that the annual conference is one of the most important benefits. The opportunity tonetwork with engineering and engineering technology faculty around the country, and to learnfrom peers at technical and other sessions is invaluable. As a junior faculty member, gettingintroduced to the Educational Research and Methods Division (ERM) is invaluable. Its sessionsintroduce one to many good pedagogical techniques to be a good

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established a Committee on Education (CoE) with one of its charges to assist engineering and technology programs in standards education. This effort built on the ABET requirement for engineering major design experience “incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realist constraints.” The purpose of this paper is to provide a report and update of the ANSI CoE’s activities and plans for standards education and outreach to universities and suggest ways that faculty members can become more involved in and benefit from this effort.

Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Illinois Urbana ChampaignAbstract. This paper describes an effort at understanding the Cadence flow set up for VLSIdesign in 180nm technology and updating it to the newer 45nm technology node. This projectwas undertaken because there are four VLSI design courses offered in our department that useCadence. When the Cadence software license was updated to the latest version, the original setup for all these courses stopped working. So, we decided to systematically study the currentsetup files for Cadence tool for the 180nm technology and update it to 45nm. To integrate theupdate into machine problems (MPs) for our course, the manuals were updated to utilize the newlibrary

Workers in an industry form a community whichshares and encodes knowledge, forming the basis for an identity that can be seen and understoodby future professionals. Professional societies have an important boundary spanning role to playin this cycle since they promote identity to prospective members and provide community supportfor existing professionals.The Evolution of AM as a Discipline and a ProfessionAM’s bears many hallmarks of prevailing theories [e.g., 7, 14, 15] of disciplinary andprofessional evolution from engineering and engineering technology (ET).

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021ABSTRACTDuring this faculty presentation, we will present the lessons learned from hosting and teaching in a virtualsummer camp that used science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) project-basedlearning (PBL) as the primary instructional strategy.From its roots in constructivism and the project method of teaching by Kilpatrick (1918) and Dewey(1938), PBL has become an important pedagogy in today's active student-centered classrooms. Situatedwithin the unique interdisciplinary perspective of STEM learning, STEM PBL engages students incollaborative problem
