Abstract:
AbstractThe educational goal of the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (henceforth, KIT) is to develop innovative and selfdirected engineers. KIT developed a new curriculum, of which main pillars are engineering design education and engineering ethics education, and established an innovative facility “Factory for Dreams & Ideas” (henceforth, “Yumekobo”, which is the original Japanese name for the factory), to achieve its educational goal. Assessment of educational objectives and data are discussed in the paper. Students developed original, viable, and ethical design solutions in engineering design courses using either appropriate technology, advanced technology, or a suitable combination of both. Students' understanding and behaviour with regards to engineering design and engineering ethics advanced steadily during the courses. Students, who actively worked on Yumekobo projects, developed their technical competencies and professional skills.

Abstract:
In 1987 ETHZ, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, first offered a degree course in environmental sciences. The curriculum is based upon a comprehensive view of the environment and its systems. The first two years of the programme cover a multidisciplinary basic education in mathematics, natural and social sciences. For their advanced education in the fifth to nineth semesters the students select one of four science disciplines (Chemistry/Microbiology, Physics, Biology or Environmental Hygiene) and one of four environmental systems (Aquatic Systems, Atmosphere, Terrestrial Systems or Anthroposphere). The education in natural sciences is accompanied by a compulsory case study, which is implemented as a didactic tool to teach ecological problem-solving, and courses in environmental social sciences and environmental technology. During the professional practical training of about four months, students gain insight into the constraints of a professional environment. In the tenth semester a diploma project - equivalent to a master's thesis - is carried out.

Abstract:
The Graduate Program in Architectural Acoustics has been constantly advanced from its inception in 1998 with an ambitious mission of educating future experts and leaders in architectural acoustics, due to the rapid pace of change in the fields of architectural-, physical-, and psycho-acoustics, and noise-control engineering. Since years the program’s pedagogy using “STEM” (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) methods has been proven to be effective and productive, including intensive, integrative hands-on experimental components that integrate architectural acoustics theory and practice. The graduate program has recruited graduate students from a variety of disciplines including individuals with B.S., B.Arch., or B.A. degrees in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Architecture, Electronic Media, Sound Recording, Music and related fields. Graduate students under this pedagogy and research environment have been succeed in the rapidly changing field. RPI’s Graduate Program in Architectural Acoustics has since graduated more than 120 graduates with both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Under the guidance of the faculty members they have also actively contributed to the program’s research in architectural acoustics, communication acoustics, psycho-acoustics, signal processing in acoustics as well as our scientific exploration at the intersection of cutting edge research and traditional architecture/music culture. This paper illuminates the evolution and growth of the Graduate Program.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background One of the most important mainstays in disaster management is preparedness. In partnership with the International Trauma & Disaster Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and the Panamerican Trauma Society (PTS), the Brazilian Society of Integrated Assistance to the Traumatized (SBAIT) has been promoting, for the last 4 years, education and training through the “Advanced Disaster Medical Response” (ADMR) course for health care providers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the ADMR course on medical staff learning. Materials and methods Between 2011 and 2014, 23 ADMR courses (each of 8 hours duration) were conducted in Brazil. Attendees answered a pretest and posttest survey to evaluate their experience in disaster medicine and acquired knowledge during the course. Each test consisted of the same 10 objective questions, resulting in a score of 0 to 10. Attendees had to do both tests in order to qualify for a course certificate. Results In 4 years, 1,398 students participated in the courses. Participants were predominantly physicians and medical students of the male gender. Posttest scores were significantly higher than those of the pretests: 9 (±1.22) and 7 (±1.67) respectively, representing an increase of 34.1% in acquired knowledge. Students with prior experience in disaster medical response (p<0.05) or participation in multiple-casualty simulations (p<0.05) or theoretical training (p<0.05) scored better on pretests than those without similar experience. For every kind of prior experience, posttest scores were higher than pretests (p<0.05). Conclusion The ADMR course is an effective learning tool for medical personnel and health care providers, increasing knowledge of disaster medical response.

Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce engineering education at the Department of Advanced Robotics, Chiba Institute of Technology. At the department, we try to teach useful knowledge and provide laboratory work leading to useful experience. One purpose of the curriculum is to enable students to design a system with a mechanism, control circuit, and computer programming. We then provide many lectures related to system design – control engineering, mechanics, mechanical dynamics, electronic circuits, information engineering, mechanical drawing, and so on – and provide laboratory work on related theory in the lectures. Laboratory work helps students understand abstract theories that are difficult to understand based on desk study alone. This laboratorywork continues fromthe first to fourth years. In addition, we provide many project studies. Some students try to develop their own systems through extracurricular studies. Through the project, students obtain much knowledge and experience. After introducing our curriculum, we discuss the results of this curriculum.

Abstract:
A revised ten-semester curriculum in environmental engineering was introduced at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1998 which is based on 10 years of experience with a previous less focused curriculum. The scope of the new curriculum is rather broad and includes sanitary engineering, water resources management, soil pollution control and resource and waste management. Air pollution is not fully developed yet. Based on broad basic studies (first four semesters) the professional studies (semesters 5 to 9) require the students to choose two out of four possible areas of specialization. These studies are followed in credit groups which combine advanced courses and extensive project work designed to reach scientific depth in an exemplary fashion. There is an exchange of teaching units between Environmental Engineering and Environmental Natural Sciences but the two curricula are quite different and lead to significantly different professional profiles.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the impact of the flipped classroom model on students’ self-efficacy and the difference in self-efficacy between males and females using this model. In order to accomplish this, 66 advanced participants were selected from a private English language institute. They were divided into two equal groups, namely experimental (flipped classroom) and control (traditional) group. The students’ self-efficacy was scored before and after the intervention with the Self-Efficacy Survey. The results indicated an increase in their average self-efficacy score with the flipped classroom while the traditional classroom decreased their average score. When the genders were analyzed separately, the males demonstrated a decrease in self-efficacy while the females indicated an increase while utilizing the flipped classroom. In light of these results, some recommendations have been made.

Abstract:
In developing nations, information and communications technologies (ICT) offer dramatic opportunities for economic and social transformation. Such nations hope to jump-start economies and actualize human potential by providing ICT-based education and training to individuals in remote areas. Educational institutions seeking to outsource programs internationally face complex cultural, political and technological considerations not found within traditional student populations. Virtual learning environments (VLEs) are tools that provide electronic access to campus services. However, distance educators are challenged to develop VLEs that also support critical social elements of student life. The San Diego State University Interwork Institute is partnering with community colleges in the Western Pacific to offer degrees using a unique educational model. Through partnership and technology, this model blends virtual technologies with site-based facilitators and services, enabling Pacific Islanders to access advanced degrees without having to travel abroad.

Abstract:
Cranes provide an excellent platform for teaching advanced controls. They have a simple pendulum-type oscillation that is useful for demonstrating basic control methods. However, cranes also have additional dynamic effects such as motor dynamics, velocity limits, and nonlinear slewing dynamics that make them well suited for advanced study. If the cranes are made remotely operable, then students can also study tele-operation and control of systems with time delays. An advanced control design course taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology has integrated tele-operated cranes into both the lecture and laboratory exercises. The laboratories lead the students through the use of two tele-operated cranes. The lab component of the course culminates with a five-week team project in which the students design and implement their own research project on the cranes. The primary goal of using the cranes is to provide hands-on experiences in implementing advanced controllers on real systems. This paper describes the cranes and the complementary curriculum.

Abstract:
Educating the workforce of the future to perform adeptly in the global environment as well as to surmount cross cultural boundaries is of a paramount necessity in today’s technologically advanced and complex settings. This environment has led institutions of higher education to seek international collaborations to face these challenges. Building on experiences and successes gained from a nearly decade long project entitled UMANE that was jointly supported by both the US Department of Education and the EU for undergraduate double/triple Bachelor’s degrees, this paper reports on an extension of the earlier partnership, to include a graduate level partnership that offers a double master degree between New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and University of Parma (UNIPR) that was put in place in 2015. In this work, we present the developed framework of this international cooperation, report on its challenges, and share our experiences. Specifically, the framework of the agreement establishes guidelines and course of study leading to double master degrees in the area of Engineering Management, one from NJIT and another from Parma University. Students in this program, usually, start their studies in Italy, attending the classes at their home Institution and then move to Newark, New Jersey, during the spring/second semester (6 months) of their first year, to attend NJIT classes. At the end of their studies, students will be awarded two master’s degrees in Engineering Management from the partnering universities.

Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to evaluate teachers´ competences and their self-reflection in the teaching process. The topicality of the research presented in the paper is given by the fact that teachers at university level must prove excellent competences regardless external factors which affect the teaching process any time. Competence is the key qualified and professional job performance in any sector. The paper focuses on the competences of university teachers which they acquire and develop throughout their career. Attention is given to professionally and personality cultivating competences, part of which is also self-reflection. Self-reflection refers to a person’s ability of introspection and willingness to learn more about own abilities and skills. This will lead to a better ability to identify changes that may be required. The methodology consists in a research based on a questionnaire survey and statistical evaluation of gathered information. The paper gives an outline of the evaluation process at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), during which opinions of students and teachers about instruction were analysed, together with the fulfilment of selected university competences. The main body of the paper is dedicated to the statistical processing of selected data from the evaluation survey conducted by using the SPSS programme. The results indicate that there are significant deviations of teachers´ self-evaluation from the students´ opinion. The Institute of Education and Communication is going to offer courses in advanced competence development using techniques of self-reflection. This has a potential to enhance effectiveness of the teaching process at university level.

Abstract:
Aim/Purpose: This study aims to provide a description of how flipped classroom was designed in the Business Computing (BC) course in order to adapt with the changes in the Vietnamese students’ learning needs, as well as social and technological developments that disrupt student’ behaviours and living styles. Background: The flipped classroom (FC) model is widely implemented, especially in the English language classes due to an immensely high demand in the Vietnamese market. However, there has not been any imperative published research on the impact of using FC models on higher education in Vietnam. The BC course was implemented the FC model across the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University’s campuses. The idea of using this model was to adapt with changes in social and technological developments. Methodology: A comprehensive literature related to the common pedagogy in practice in Vietnam was provided. This helped the design team of the BC course to understand the characteristics of the Vietnamese students and subsequently, offer a suitable flipped model that improves student’s engagement. A proposed method of using the design thinking (DT) approach while flipping a BC class was underlined. Contribution: The outcome of this study assists national educators in Vietnam to confidently embrace the FC concept as a model for pedagogical modernisation and advocate the real need to provide a dynamic learning environment. Findings: The initial conclusion showed that there is an existence of preparation for student’s study, especially during post-class periods. Recommendations for Practitioners: It is vital to conduct a rigorous student’s need and their learning styles before designing learning contents that matches with course learning outcomes. Recommendation for Researchers: In order to increase student’s engagement with the course content and materials, educators and designers may explore a combination of multimedia, pictures and narrative sources to enrich learning sessions while simplifying theoretical concepts. Impact on Society: Utilizing advanced technologies in teaching gives students advantages to interact and gain other skills that meet the demands of potential employers.

Full text
Abstract:
Cherrypickers are an important class of machines that can lift people to great heights. Understanding the dynamics and stability of these machines is crucial for efficient and safe operation. A dynamic model has been developed to capture the oscillatory dynamics of the machine as a function of the configuration and mass properties. Simulation studies reveal the complex dynamic behavior of the machine. In many cases, the oscillation of the endpoint bucket causes difficulties and dangers for the operators. An input-shaping controller has been added to the system to decrease the oscillatory dynamics. A portable cherrypicker is being developed for use in both education and research. The cherrypicker will be used as an experimental testbed in an advanced controls course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The MIT students will use the machine to verify their theoretical models of the dynamic behavior, as well as evaluate control systems they develop to improve performance. Concurrently, students at the Georgia Institute of Technology will use the machine in teleoperation mode to conduct similar experiments. The MIT and Georgia Tech students will work together to conduct meaningful research on the cherrypicker testbed for their course projects. This paper describes the developments and results of the project to date.

Abstract:
There is a great need for Master-Craftsmen who are highly valued in industry locally but are not afforded the same recognition as in Germany, so in order to encourage more applicants a bridging progression to a Bachelor’s degree should be devised. There are several paths to the education of engineers. Traditionally students of engineering attend secondary school from which they matriculate to a tertiary institution. In many countries candidates may opt to do an Associate degree articulating to a Bachelor’s degree. However, in some countries, it is possible to become an engineer without a traditional degree, usually in a more practically-oriented apprenticeship programme. In Britain for example, such candidates complete National Vocational Qualifications(NVQs) in engineering while working at a company. NVQs typically range from Level 1 to Level 8, Levels 6 and 7 being equivalent to Bachelor’s and taught Master’s degrees respectively. In Germany, there is also an alternative qualification to the Bachelor’s degree, the more practically-oriented Meister (Master-Craftsman in English), both of which are equally recognized and respected professionally and are both pegged at Level 6 in the 8-Level German National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The MIC Institute of Technology has adopted a Master-Craftsman programme which is accredited by the German Chamber of Crafts and Trades. Candidates have to first complete the (trimester) Journeyman programme comprising three years, about 50% of which comprise industrial attachments/internships. Successful Journeyman graduates can progress to the Master-Craftsman qualification by completing an extra (trimester) year of study. This paper deals with the progression of Master-Craftsman graduates, through advanced placement, in a Bachelor of Technology programme. The Master-Craftsman curricula have to be mapped against a typical Bachelor of Technology programme to determine the gaps in mathematical, theoretical and other areas and mechanisms to fill any gaps.
