This matches a goal of our Computer Science program to provide opportunities for students to utilize multiple CS topics in a single course. Doing so results in those subjects being reinforced and expanded by repeating them in a new context, it also provides new challenges and learning opportunities when several topics are integrated in a single project. The course requires all work is done in teams of three to five, with each project following standard software development practice, and incorporating multiple technical components, such as concurrency, Artificial Intelligence, and etc. The course requires students to peer review, which helps train them to critically review otherpsilas work; they are also required to give an oral presentation of their final project.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129299323","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}

At Michigan Technological University, both of these topics are taught in the same course to meet the first-year engineering program objective of developing proficiency in the use of computers in solving engineering problems. Another objective of the program is for students to understand the design process through a practical, hands-on design experience. Michigan Tech uses these objectives to engage second semester freshmen in engineering design in a unique way. Students are challenged to create an innovative design concept, produce CAD solid models and assemblies to convey their concept, and develop a mathematical model in Matlab to predict the performance of their design. This paper will discuss the design projects used in this first year course to innovatively integrate solid modeling and computer programming throughout the freshman design experience.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131032654","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 structure of a curriculum is modeled as a directed graph whose nodes represent courses and whose edges represent relationships between courses. Various graphical styles are used to encode details such as co-requisites and electives. Diagrams are automatically generated based on a curricular knowledge base. This approach has many benefits over manually-created visualizations: they require less maintenance and promote visual exploration of curriculum modifications. The CurricVis prototype has been used to generate visualizations of Computer Science curricula, including degree programs for majors and minors. The resulting visualizations have been valuable in advising current students as well as explaining the curriculum to prospective students. They have also been used to facilitate curriculum discussion in departmental committees. More user-friendly data entry and visualization generation interfaces are currently under development. Future work includes integration with Web-based course catalogs and student transcripts, path highlighting for computer-assisted advising, and the integration of more advanced information visualization techniques for large-scale curriculum visualization.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126951411","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 iLab shared architecture provides a framework for the development and deployment of remote laboratories using a three-tiered model based on Web services consisting of lab clients, service broker middleware, and lab servers. This simplifies the development of remote labs by providing reusable components for common lab administration functions. The initial focus of the iLab project was on hatched labs, which require no interactive control. Following the projectpsilas success in supporting these labs, it has expanded its efforts to include those requiring interactive control. Interactive labs require that the user have active control of lab instruments during the course of an experiment and can generate a large amount of data. In order to accommodate these requirements, the iLab shared architecture has been extended with a highly configurable lab resource scheduling service, a robust data storage system and support for high bandwidth communication between the lab client and server. By integrating these services into the iLab shared architecture, a more diverse set of educationally valuable labs can now be easily deployed online and shared around the world.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132877961","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 purpose is to significantly advance the global capacity for engineering education research. A series of moderated interactive sessions are being offered at international engineering education conferences between July 2007 and December 2008. In these sessions, participants discuss what constitutes engineering education research, who is and should be involved, and what infrastructure is required to sustain engineering education research. To date, AGCEER sessions have been held at regional engineering education conferences in Europe, Hong Kong, Australasia, and at the ASEE Global Colloquium in Turkey. Future sessions are planned for Europe, the United States, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and India. Transcripts of completed sessions were analyzed using qualitative, open coding methods. Common themes across all these sessions were (a) the need for more rigorous engineering education research, (b) improving resources and recognition for engineering education researchers, and (c) getting research results into the hands of practitioners. Variations across countries and regions include who is engaged in engineering education research (e.g., faculty, administrators, policymakers), their levels of activity, and their interest and expertise in engineering education research. Our analysis includes some background on engineering education in each of these regions to help explain variations in the current state of research efforts.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"439 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132895604","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 proposed pedagogy is a teaching and learning strategy based on the active participation of learners at each stage of the learning process, namely, preview of new topics, Web-based warm-up assignments, and interactive classroom teaching and learning. Students briefly preview the new materials delivered through Web-based multimedia, and then respond electronically to carefully constructed warm-up exercises which are due before class. The instructor reviews studentspsila responses and adjusts the classroom lesson based on studentspsila concerns and questions. The preview materials, with the instructorpsilas explanations added, are produced using Flash multimedia authoring tool. This provides an online learning tool to prepare the students for the warm-up exercises. Anonymous surveys, questionnaires before, in the middle and after the implementation of the project are conducted to assess the effectiveness and outcomes of this project.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"2001 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133003749","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}

While our small samples preclude general conclusions, the insights provide the foundation for more in-depth studies of similar programs within a similar campus context. Guided by Tintopsilas theory of student retention, we surveyed group behavior in terms of academic and social integration. Our results show that POSSE students state a high commitment to engineering, and an ability to navigate the academic integration process. Minority students who are not part of the POSSE Program state a similar commitment to engineering, however they report less success navigating the academic integration process.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130869514","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 discussions usually focus on the image or stereotype of engineers in popular television shows or other media. One element that is missing from this discussion, however, is the historical context in which this image has developed. This paper presents a historical perspective which examines how engineers were viewed by past generations and how the current image of engineers from earlier periods shapes how individuals see the engineering profession today. We conclude that though the overall image of the engineer is not entirely negative, there is a lack of understanding of the contribution of engineers in the publicpsilas perception. This paper also proposes an image of engineering that more fully represents the work and contributions of engineers.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130927835","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 material has proven difficult to teach to engineers, as it is empirical and based on processes founded on human interactions, not scientific and based on mathematical and physical laws. Simulation-based education has proven highly effective in getting past this barrier. Design of a number of pedagogical simulations, and experience with both professional and student audiences are discussed. Data is available to evaluate both a manufacturing simulation and a full simulation of an aerospace enterprise and its supply and engineering chains which capture enterprise interactions. Good data on student satisfaction and perceived outcomes, and lower-quality data on some directly-measured outcomes, support the idea that simulation-based education is highly effective in this challenging situation.","PeriodicalId":342595,"journal":{"name":"2008 38th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131235214","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}
