The Interactive Surveying Instructor (ISI) is an extension of the work developed by Garbanzo and Lara (2018), who created a web 2.0 app for teaching differential leveling in surveying engineering. Two improvements were done to enhance the user experience and include surveying equipment that is important in the first stages of the engineering…

Smartphone apps have lately emerged as a potent instructional aid for teaching engineering courses. Teaching engineering courses often involve explaining complex problems that require creative solutions to students who are typically tech-savvy. This article reviews 10 smartphone apps that have been developed to teach engineering courses. The apps…

Online course delivery has increased in prevalence, particularly due to the onset in 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic. Biomedical engineering laboratory courses pose unique challenges when transitioning to a remote or hybrid space. Here, we describe a novel approach to online lab delivery to improve student learning and engagement in a required…

This paper describes a novel Electrical Machine and Power Electronic Training Tool (EM&PE[subscript TT]), a methodology for using it, and associated experimental educational activities. The training tool is implemented by recreating a whole power electronics system, divided into modular blocks. This process is similar to that applied when…

The aim of the 2018 International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) conference was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive…

Explores solutions to the current growth in engineering student enrollments and related faculty shortages. Nine potentially acceptable instructional changes are discussed. They include: increasing lecture class size; television and video tapes; computer-based education; using graduate/undergraduate students; employing retired/part-time faculty;…

Describes a two-quarter sequence of graduate courses in numerical methods and modeling for chemical engineers. Rationale, course content, methodology, topic development, and such course requirements as homework and design projects are considered. Emphasis is placed on the treatment of numerical methods implemented in commercial software. (JM)

The impact of educational technologies on various curricula and on projected curriculum reform at the University of New South Wales is discussed. It is argued that the existence and use of such technologies can reach beyond being tools that simply provide assistance in instruction, and can often have considerable effect on the curriculum itself.…

Students develop and use actual instrumentation in this course which focuses on analog computers, digital electronics, computer interfacing, and online computer techniques. Includes a student handout on the design of a bridge amplifier unit. Mimeographed experiment directions are available from the authors. (SK)

Evaluates influence of computer assisted instruction on engineering education, considering use of computers to remove burden of doing calculations and to provide interactive self-study programs of a tutorial/remedial nature. Cites universities requiring personal computer purchase, pointing out possibility for individualized design assignments.…
