This paper presents the education and workforce development programs developed and delivered by Wayne State University and Macomb Community College partnership in meeting industry needs for future workforce in advanced automotive technology. Through funding from the National Science Foundation, a Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT) was established as an Advanced Technological Education center to support the partnering work, developing and leading systemic curricula reforms. The center worked with industry partners identifying curriculum gaps and provided professional development for teachers to fill those gaps. CAAT also supported new automotive technology university/college programs through its seed funding program which funded others to create, implement, and share new curricula. The center is a preeminent resource for educating engineers and technicians in advanced automotive technology as all materials that were developed in partnership with CAAT were reviewed by industry experts and offered as a free resource through website. CAAT continues its tasks supporting the United States in its efforts to build and maintain a competent workforce ready to use the skills of the 21st century to move industries ahead.","PeriodicalId":187039,"journal":{"name":"Volume 9: Engineering Education","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129439050","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}

Training in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) is essential for understanding the complexity of the world around us and for identifying and tackling critical technical and social issues. To that end, many programs have been launched all around the world to expose students to STEAM fields and to encourage them to pursue STEAM careers. Hands-on, project-based learning has been shown to get more students engaged with STEAM and help them learn key skills for the future. However, most STEAM education programs target students in upper-middle or high school. If students are nurtured at earlier ages to love thinking critically, solving problems, and building, they are more likely to pursue STEAM fields.\u0000 This paper describes the implementation of project-based STEAM curriculum with elementary school students from ages 6–13. It includes a detailed discussion of curriculum design, case studies of specific student work, subjective analysis of engagement level with various projects, and discussion of lessons learned. The paper also discusses how the makerspace environment where the students execute their projects has been set up to be accessible for students in this age range.\u0000 Additionally, the paper describes how a hands-on STEAM curriculum that traditionally relies on in-person feedback, materials, and access to peers as teammates can be maintained while having students learning remotely. Educational techniques for hands-on learning while physical distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed.","PeriodicalId":187039,"journal":{"name":"Volume 9: Engineering Education","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129571763","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}

The iPodia alliance promotes its peer-learning pedagogy by offering engineering classes with universities around the world. Students’ engagement as one of the important metrics to assess the effectiveness of education design methodology has been under considerable interest for several years. Tri-engagement, comprised of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement provides a comprehensive assessment of learning success. This paper illustrates how a tri-engagement assessment was implemented in a global learning environment and examines the effectiveness of the peer-learning pedagogy in such highly diverse environment. This paper proposes a quantitative method using a modified Likert scale to assess students’ tri-engagement levels comprised of student and teaching assistant surveys, video observations, and analysis of facial emotion recognition, through preparation, data collection, and analysis stages. Comparisons of tri-engagements between the instructor-student activities and the peer-peer discussions, different continent regions, and on-site/remote learning are offered. Results show that the overall iPodia peer-learning activities experienced all positive tri-engagement levels and were not significantly affected by the region diversity (< 6% difference) or the remote learning (< 3% difference) of the iPodia learning classroom. That preliminarily proved that the iPodia peer-learning pedagogy maintains positive tri-engagements in a global engineering class. Additional findings were that the self-raters and observers experienced students’ cognitive engagement differently, and cultural difference would mainly affect students’ behavioral engagement, but unfamiliarity of the content may increase their emotional engagement.","PeriodicalId":187039,"journal":{"name":"Volume 9: Engineering Education","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122409949","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}

A solution often exploited is the use of diesel generators to power homes but that has its negative effects on climate change. In this study, an alternative solution is being investigated, which involves the use of water turbines. For low head applications such as rivers, hydrokinetic turbines are used to harness the kinetic energy in rivers. There are two types of hydrokinetic turbines: horizontal and vertical axis water turbines. The turbine studied in this paper is the Darrieus type vertical axis water turbine (VAWT) which has three straight blades. Darrieus type VAWT primarily use lift forces to operate. Advantages of vertical axis water turbines are simple construction, low cost, and being able to self-orient. However, the Darrieus VAWT has several disadvantages like self-starting problem, low coefficient of performance, shaking, debris accumulation, and cavitation.\u0000 In this study, the effect of using thermoplastic polyurethane blades with varying levels of flexibility have been investigated to remedy the self-starting problem. For blade profile, S1046 airfoil is selected. 3-D numerical models were created by using time-accurate Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) commercial solver (ANSYS Fluent 2019 R3). Experimental results show that turbine with lower blade hardness starts to rotate at 0.34m/s while the turbine with higher blade hardness experiences rotation at 0.51m/s.","PeriodicalId":187039,"journal":{"name":"Volume 9: Engineering Education","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129861543","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}
