Engineering Technology Explained in Math and Science — A New Course
نویسنده
چکیده
A new teaching experience is presented in this paper. The author introduces purposefully more advanced analytical methods in his engineering technology curricula. The author integrates mathematical explanations and physical insights into technology courses such as analog communication systems, digital communications, and electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. This instruction improves the students’ performance inside and outside of the classroom. Encouraged by responses from students, the author develops an new course, which serves as a technical elective, to present to the students the analytical methods. The paper describes how the course is developed and what content is included. Major questions that may be encountered during the educational practice are also discussed.

Math achievement is important, but task values are critical, too: examining the intellectual and motivational factors leading to gender disparities in STEM careers
Although young women now obtain higher course grades in math than boys and are just as likely to be enrolled in advanced math courses in high school, females continue to be underrepresented in some Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) occupations. This study drew on expectancy-value theory to assess (1) which intellectual and motivational factors in high school predict gende...
متن کاملSURFACE HARDENING OF TUNGSTEN-BASED HEAVY ALLOY VIA PACK BORONIZING
The boronizing of a tungsten heavy alloy containing Ni and Fe as the major alloying elements were performed in the present study to increase its surface hardening. Pack cementation method was employed as a well-known, successful solid-state process for boronizing. The coating treatment was accomplished at different temperatures of 1000, 1050 and 1100°C for 6 and 9 hours. The formation of tu...
