This paper demonstrates an experimental integrated lesson of physics and calculus in a topic of fluid force applying on different shapes of dams. This lesson was designed for the first year students in engineering program in an attempt to show them the connection between these two disciplines, as well as to introduce more advanced…

This paper presents three case studies that examined the use of ClassTranscribe in a diverse set of undergraduate engineering classes in 2019 and 2020 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ClassTranscribe, a video viewing system designed with accessibility and learning in mind, was first presented to the ASEE [American Society for…

Yuan Ze University targeted Biomaterials Science and developed a curriculum related to Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, and Biomaterials for engineering students to cultivate talents for both engineering and biotechnology. After several years of operation, recruiting students has succeeded, and students are satisfied with the course design…

Describes the introduction of microprocessors into the Weapons and Systems Engineering Department at the U.S. Naval Academy, including planning decisions, implementation, procedures, uses of microprocessors in the department, and impact on the Systems Engineering major and curriculum. (SK)

Examined is the possibility of applying industrial principles of quality assurance to engineering education. Describes an industrial quality assurance model emphasizing the assessment criteria of the quality of performance and capability. (YP)

This study is based on two surveys, one mailed to over 23,000 Washington, D.C. area engineers comprising the area membership of eight engineering professional societies and another sent to several thousand area organizations considered likely to employ engineers. In addition to assessing specific needs for various kinds of engineering education,…

Discussed is the underrepresentation of minorities and women pursuing graduate and undergraduate degrees in science and engineering. Two intervention programs are described in detail-Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) and the Minority Engineering Program (MEP). (KR)

The College Science Instrumentation Program (CSIP) was developed to provide seed money matching funds for the acquisition of laboratory instrumentation in order to improve the quality of undergraduate science/engineering education. This report describes the impact of the program and the program characteristics during the years 1985-87. An…

This document is a transcript of hearings held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (February 11, 1982), which focused on the "National Engineering and Science Manpower Act of 1982," H.R. 5254. The bill, introduced into Congress by Doug Walgren and Don Fuqua, would establish a fund to develop United States technical, engineering, and scientific…
