Kober, Nancy – National Academies Press, 2015
The undergraduate years are a turning point in producing scientifically literate citizens and future scientists and engineers. Evidence from research about how students learn science and engineering shows that teaching strategies that motivate and engage students will improve their learning. So how do students best learn science and engineering?…

Starobin, Soko S.; Laanan, Frankie Santos – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2008
Over the past few decades, community colleges have helped increase the representation of female and minority students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Flexible schedules, low tuition, proximity to jobs, and open access admissions make community colleges attractive to a diverse student body, especially…

Hazelrigg, George A. – Engineering Education, 1985
A simple problem (counting beans in a jar) is used to demonstrate an approach to organizing and quantifying decision making. The example shows that a willingness to go beyond ordinary engineering analysis may be needed to provide answers to many engineering problems. (Author/JN)
Descriptors: Decision Making, Engineering, Engineering Education, Higher Education
Shahinpoor, Mohsen; Singer, Neal – Technological Horizons in Education, 1985
An instructional robotics laboratory that is unique in the United States was created in 1984 at the University of New Mexico. Descriptions of the laboratory, course work offered, student projects, and other areas are provided. (JN)
Descriptors: Course Descriptions, Engineering, Engineering Education, Higher Education
Schaumburg, Frank D. – Engineering Education, 1986
Examines shortcomings that are not being fully recognized and addressed. For example, computerization tends to increase analytical precision at the sacrifice of accuracy. In addition, the computer has begun to diminish the art while emphasizing the scienctific elements of design. Possible solutions to these and other shortcomings are offered. (JN)

Myers, Donald D.; And Others – Engineering Education, 1985
Describes: (1) the Small Business Institute (SBI); (2) SBI in the Engineering Management Department at the University of Missouri-Rolla; (3) student engineering design projects with the small businesses; and (4) benefits of the program and lessons learned. (JN)
Descriptors: Engineering, Engineering Education, Higher Education, Small Businesses
Koen, Billy Vaughn – Engineering Education, 1984
Defines the engineering method by: (1) giving a preliminary definition and examples of its essential term (heuristics); (2) comparing the definition to a popular alternative; and (3) presenting a simple form of the definition. This definition states that the engineering method is the use of engineering heuristics. (JN)
