The students are usually able to perform sequences of the underlying calculations but cannot piece together the higher conceptual relationship that drives these procedures. This work-in-progress paper presents a viable approach and a new teaching and learning paradigm to enhance the effectiveness of teaching fast Fourier transform and significantly improve the learning outcomes. By integrating the mobile and cloud computing technologies, we are developing a handheld real-world relevance laboratory that includes an integrated learning module for Fourier transform and a shared intelligent project repository to host the module and real-world relevant data. This development is expected to overcome the intellectual inaccessibility of transform techniques and tackle the challenges in existing approaches: the prohibitive cost of project-based approach; limited access and real-world relevance data in simulation-based approach, and unreliable and unsustainable support.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127302184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern views of philosophy tend toward an instrumental perspective - one that believes that philosophy provides a rigorous method for describing and evaluating our understandings of knowledge and truth. Philosophical reasoning can help reconcile diverse beliefs resulting in more coherent and comprehensive statements about the nature of engineering and education. Employing philosophical reasoning in the articulation of one's philosophy of engineering education can lead to a more coherent and consistent statement about what it is that engineering educators aim to achieve. This paper briefly describes the methods of philosophical reasoning and argumentation introduced in workshops on the philosophy of engineering education conducted at previous FIE conferences. A follow-up workshop focused on these methods is planned for this year's FIE conference. The outcomes of the upcoming workshop will be included in a final version of this paper on the topic of developing a philosophy of engineering education.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116890294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of these towns suffer from huge geographic isolation, as these are scattered in the forest and their access are only through rivers. With all these difficulties, taking education to this population consists of a real and daily challenge. To provide an opportunity for students of this region to enter into an upper-level course, one of the solutions devised by the Federal University of Amazonas, through its Center for Distance Education (CDE) was the creation of undergraduate courses in non-face mode. CDE project consisted of organizing headquarters, called poles, to receive courses in Administration, Public Administration, Fine Arts, Biology, Agricultural Sciences and Physical Education. This paper describes this educational experience and presents the structure of the pedagogical model supported by technology (PMT) which allows this scenario to become reality. The innovation of this model is to allow the 1,618 students, distributed in 17 different poles, assisted by CDE, to keep pace with their course through a structure of logistical and technological support adapted to their reality. Resources offered by a Course Management System (CMS), tutors and other specialized tools that support off-line activities make it possible for higher education to reach the most remote regions of Amazon.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134241172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To increase the opportunities for all students to learn how protect themselves as individuals and others as professionals from numerous cyber threats the focus of this work is to identify gaps in engineering curricula and present novel approaches to fulfill the growing and diverse needs of cyber security education. The overall objective of this paper is to make security education accessible, relevant, and tangible across educational curricula, as well as to provide the framework to extend these efforts beyond university classrooms and into community colleges and high schools. While the predominant focus, research, and innovative practices in the area of cyber security have focused on technical students at the university level, this work instead concentrates on the demographic of students that desire to learn about cyber security without having to major in computer engineering, for example. In this paper we present a three-tiered framework that provides breadth and depth to security education across multiple education levels. This all-encompassing framework for security education includes providing (1) formal literacy-based training for students of all backgrounds, (2) inquiry-based learning through security- and technically-focused student groups and activities, and (3) classical technical·based initiatives. For each of these respective areas, previous research and efforts are discussed as well as the innovative practices that we have developed to address identified educational gaps.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134439397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These shortages can be conceptualized as both literal shortages of numbers, particularly females, and a more conceptual shortage of engineers who are trained and qualified to handle the transitioning global context of the profession. With its rapid growth, high female involvement, and global vision, Engineers Without Borders-USA (EWB-USA) stands as a prime research model for the larger engineering field. During a series of five regional EWB-USA workshops, participants were asked to respond to six open-ended questions dealing with identity and gains from their involvement. Thousands of unique responses were coded into emergent themes to identify the most common responses and to compare response themes across questions. Results suggest that EWB-USA members identify strongly with the organization, which may increase their identity with and motivation to remain in the profession. Results also show that EWB-USA members are filling significant education gaps from their organizational involvement and are gaining the desirable global engineering qualities required within the field. These results help unpack the motivations driving EWB-USA members and gains from their membership that may help, through future curriculum development, attract and retain a diverse engineering population able to handle future challenges required by the profession.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133390150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, traditional, lecture-based curriculum for Statics and Dynamics does not promote sustained student engagement. This paper presents a series of Guided Discovery modules that target key concepts. Guided Discovery is a methodology that borrows aspects of challenge-based instruction and discovery learning. The method is designed to facilitate students paths to discovery of key concepts that are often misinterpreted or not readily mastered. This is accomplished by facilitating students timely discovery of the underlying fundamentals through physical or virtual interaction with Statics and Dynamics challenges. The key difficulty to insuring positive impact on concept mastery is sustaining student engagement throughout the process. When students actively participate in every step, there is a significant improvement on comprehension and retention of commonly misinterpreted concepts. In this paper the authors summarize existing modules and present some of the results. Additionally, the authors detail typical shortcomings that resulted in early implementations of the modules and strategies for overcoming those shortcomings.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131758964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
