  • computer Engineering Curriculum in the new millennium
    IEEE Transactions on Education, 2003
    Co-Authors: Andrew Mcgettrick, Mitchell D Theys, David L Soldan, Pradip K Srimani
    Abstract:

    Currently there is a joint activity (referred to as Computing Curricula 2001, shortened to CC2001) involving the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society, which is producing Curriculum guidance for the broad area of computing. Within this activity, a volume on computer Engineering is being developed. This volume addresses the important area of the design and development of computers and computer-based systems. Current curricula must be capable of evolving to meet the more immediate needs of students and industry. The purpose of this paper is to look at areas of future development in computer Engineering in the next ten years (2013) and beyond and to consider the work of the Computer Engineering volume of CC2001 in this context.

  • surveying the state of higher education in energy efficiency in australian Engineering Curriculum
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2010
    Co-Authors: Cheryl Desha, Karlson Hargroves
    Abstract:

    This paper presents the method and results of a survey of 27 of the 33 Australian universities teaching Engineering education in late 2007, undertaken by The Natural Edge Project (hosted by Griffith University and the Australian National University) and supported by the National Framework for Energy Efficiency. This survey aimed to ascertain the extent of energy efficiency (EE) education, and to identify preferred methods to assist in increasing the extent to which EE education is embedded in Engineering Curriculum. In this paper the context for the survey is supported by a summary of the key results from a variety of surveys undertaken over the last decade internationally. The paper concludes that EE education across universities and Engineering disciplines in Australia is currently highly variable and ad hoc. Based on the results of the survey; this paper highlights a number of preferred options to support educators to embed sustainability within Engineering programs, and future opportunities for monitoring EE, within the context of Engineering education for sustainable development (EESD).

  • the multiple institution database for investigating Engineering longitudinal development an experiential case study of data sharing and reuse
    Advances in engineering education, 2016
    Co-Authors: Matthew W Ohland, Russell A Long
    Abstract:

    Sharing longitudinal student record data and merging data from different sources is critical to addressing important questions being asked of higher education. The Multiple-Institution Database for Investigating Engineering Longitudinal Development (MIDFIELD) is a multi-institution, longitudinal, student record level dataset that is used to answer many research questions about how students maneuver through required Engineering Curriculum and what courses or policies stand in their way toward graduation. The process of designing, compiling, maintaining, protecting, and sharing a large dataset like MIDFIELD provides valuable insight for others.

  • identifying and removing a calculus prerequisite as a bottleneck in clemson s general Engineering Curriculum
    Journal of Engineering Education, 2004
    Co-Authors: Matthew W Ohland, Amy G Yuhasz, Benjamin L Sill
    Abstract:

    A review of prerequisites often reveals that reasons for requiring a prerequisite may no longer prevail due to Curriculum or course changes. Based on a study of a Curriculum bottleneck unrelated to required mastery, the prerequisite structure in Clemson University's General Engineering Curriculum (the common first-year Curriculum for all Engineering students) was changed so that Calculus I could be taken in the second semester. Student record analysis shows both the magnitude of the bottleneck prior to the policy change and the effect on student enrollment practices after the policy change. Longitudinal studies show a statistically significant improvement in retention in Engineering adding to the body of evidence that indicates that it is important to retention that students start college mathematics at a level for which they are prepared.

  • teaching chemical Engineering product design
    Current opinion in chemical engineering, 2012
    Co-Authors: Warren D Seider, Soemantri Widagdo
    Abstract:

    This paper addresses the challenges in teaching product design, given the continued need to emphasize process design in the crowded undergraduate chemical Engineering Curriculum. Experiences are related using new teaching materials. Also, the importance of creating case studies that permit students to carry out Engineering design calculations is emphasized.
