CTEWorkforce Partners with the VCU College of Engineering Convergence Lab Initiative to Deliver Education and Specialized Training to Prepare the Next Generation of VCU Researchers To support the Convergence Lab Initiative’s (CLI) need for entry-level students to support advanced projects, CTEWorkforce has been awarded a 12-month project to collaborate with local high school and community college students via the YourCareerCounselor™ platform. Funded by a grant from the Department of Defense, CLI is a cross-disciplinary institute bringing together scientists, engineers, and technicians to solve pressing defense challenges for the U.S. “This program has been developed to teach students how to break down industry silos to facilitate work across subject areas,” said Nibir K. Dhar, Ph.D., electrical and computer engineering professor and CLI program lead. “What we found in CTEWorkforce was the perfect partner to help us deliver on this goal via use of their technology, processes, and past successes in the area of experiential learning.” CTEWorkforce will work collaboratively with CLI leadership to build the qualified student capacity for CLI projects with the skills and aptitude necessary for receiving accelerated learning at VCU. The initial cohort for this program will be fifteen students who are participating in an experiential learning program to gain the skills and knowledge to perform tests, evaluations, and support functions that aid CLI. These students will be prepared for CLI R&D, testing and evaluation, and will receive hands-on experiential learning at VCU while working on projects alongside VCU technical teams via the VCU Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) model. CTEWorkforce will provide program development and implementation support via subject matter expertise and access to online learning tools and proprietary technology services and platforms. The final part of the program will allow student participants to solve real-world challenges through the development of incremental innovations designed to assess participants’ critical thinking capability.

Exploring Education 4.0 in Higher Education Engineering Programs 🔍 Unlocking the Future of Education with Education 4.0 In a world where technology continues to reshape industries, higher education is experiencing a transformation driven by Education 4.0. I’m excited to share a newly published article in Computers and Electrical Engineering, titled "The Core Components of Education 4.0 in Higher Education: Three Case Studies in Engineering Education." This paper explores how technological advancements and innovative teaching methods are enhancing the educational experience for engineering students. The article identifies four key components of Education 4.0 that serve as a framework for designing new educational programs and methodologies: -Competencies: Emphasizing the skills and knowledge students need to thrive in a rapidly evolving job market. -Learning Methods: Incorporating innovative pedagogical techniques to engage and inspire students. -Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs): Leveraging technology to facilitate learning and collaboration. -Infrastructure: Building the physical and virtual environments that support modern education. To illustrate the practical application of these components, the article presents three case studies in engineering education. The results show that these programs, designed with Education 4.0 principles, foster creativity, knowledge transfer, and the ability to solve complex problems using the latest technological resources. As higher education faces challenges brought on by technological change, it's crucial to develop programs that encourage students to grow technically and think critically. This article is a valuable resource for educators, administrators, and innovators seeking to align with the vision of Education 4.0 🌱 Future Directions: While the research is grounded in case studies, there is ample opportunity for further exploration through experimental studies. Additionally, extending the application of Education 4.0 beyond formal education settings promises to unlock new avenues for innovation and growth. Check out the article to learn more about how Education 4.0 is transforming higher education and engineering programs. Let's continue to embrace these changes and shape the future of learning together! 📖 [https://lnkd.in/gZYPnBjw] #Education4 #HigherEducation #EngineeringEducation #Technology #Innovation #FutureOfEducation #EdTech

CDIO Initiative: A Robust Educational Framework for Engineering Programs --For Free CDIO stands for Conceive Design Implement Operate. The CDIO initiative is a pedagogical framework that emphasises fundamental engineering principles in the context of the design, development, implementation and operation of real-world systems and products. CDIO collaborators around the world have adopted CDIO as a framework for curriculum planning and outcomes assessment. The CDIO approach uses active learning tools, such as group projects and problem-based learning, to better equip engineering students with technical knowledge as well as professional and communication skills. The CDIO syllabus consists of four parts: - Disciplinary knowledge and reasoning - Personal and professional skills and attributes - Interpersonal skills: teamwork and communication - Conceiving, designing, implementing, and operating systems in the enterprise, societal, and environmental context The Worldwide CDIO Initiative is an organization open to universities all over the world. Currently, it consists of more than 200 universities worldwide supervised by the CDIO Council. The Worldwide CDIO Initiative is divided into regions created to streamline the acceptance of schools within those regions. Schools joining the CDIO Initiative are accepted as Regional Collaborators and welcomed into the appropriate regional group. Good idea, right?

#Journal #Publication Paper title: Enhancing Learner Engagement in Online Education through ADDG9E Model Research Collaboartors: Dr Karthikeyan Periasamy & Abirami A M Volume No. 37, January 2024 Special Issue, eISSN 2394-1707 Journal of Engineering Education Transformations #IUCEE Link: https://lnkd.in/dttW6d_H To plan teaching–learning activities effectively, the ADDG9E Instructional Design model, the combination of ADDIE and the Gagne’s 9 events models, has been proposed. Computer Programming CP101x – online bridge course has been offered to first-year engineering students. This course has been offered to improve the problem-solving skills of the learners. The proposed model has been implemented for organizing an online bridge course using the Moodle platform. The experimental results show that the proposed model has improved the learner's engagement, sustainability in learning, formative and summative assessment scores compared to physical classroom teaching. The course feedback shows that how well the learners have enjoyed their learning in the proposed ADDG9E Instructional Design modelbased online bridge course on computer programming.

Just reflecting on the evolving landscape of Higher Education in Engineering: Knowledge now doubles every 25 years instead of every 100, yet the way we teach engineering has not changed significantly over the past two decades. With the rapid advancement of technology and industry demands (Cyber-physical Systems), it's becoming essential to reskill and upskill the workforce to match the demands and supply. Engineering education modules should have a greater emphasis on lifelong learning. Self-paced learning through Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and Open Educational Resources (OERs) will be incredibly beneficial for future learners. As digital natives enter higher education institutions, traditional assessment methods, and classroom knowledge transfer will become less practical. To adapt to these changes, higher education institutions should establish learning factories in the field of mechanical engineering and allied branches. The nature of education is changing to focus on addressing complex global issues through a transdisciplinary approach. In the future, engineers may not be categorized as computer, electrical, or mechanical engineers, but rather as simply "Engineers" and maybe with a minor in liberal studies or any other domain. Learning new skills will depend on a student's interest and learning pace, rather than solely on the curriculum taught in college. Achieving program learning outcomes could be recognized through earning badges (Mozilla), making the number of classroom hours irrelevant. All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) #HEIs
