Students today have been born and brought up in a digital world characterized by multimedia, and social networking. This extends beyond highly technical gadgets, and includes opportunities and encouragement for self-directed learning, creativity, and empowerment. Engineering education must embrace these changes and address the challenges and opportunities that it faces. We need to understand how the digital generation learns, communicates, and socializes in ways which are significantly different than the previous generation. This generation can seem to be, even to those only one generation older, both extraordinarily sophisticated and strangely narrow. In the coming years, how should engineering and technology education respond to the needs of the digital generation? This will be the theme for an exciting and thought provoking weekend of professional workshops, presentations, and discussions at Wentworth Institute of Technology.
As the Geospatial Industry continues to grow and expand, so too does the demand for geospatially skilled and geospatially knowledgeable individuals. In order to prepare individuals who will enter the workforce, the creation of opportunities to explore geospatial technologies is fundamental. In an effort to increase student exposure to geospatial technologies, a number of community colleges have taken an approach to integrate these technologies into a range of existing courses on their campuses by faculty members who have little to no experience using geospatial technologies. These faculty members work in a variety of disciplines where the infusion of geospatial technologies enhanced their students’ interest and understanding of issues and situations associated with that discipline and increased their ability to think more holistically or conceptually about discipline topics. Due to the nature of the discipline and the level of expertise of the faculty member, a range of integration methods were used. Through the establishment of the National Geospatial Technology Center, faculty members from community colleges across the country have a platform from which they can acquire resources to advance geospatial technologies across their campuses. This presentation will examine how faculty members with little experience with geospatial technologies were introduced to technologies, the methodologies used to integrate them into different courses, and the various disciplines that geospatial technologies have been infused in.

Annual High School Technology Outreach. Students will be able to participate in various courses and competitions focusing on their technology specialities from a forensic and security viewpoint.
Looking for a way to update and revitalize your electronics programs? Stepping up in scale from nano, to device, to board, to system, we reach a new view of electronics. Learn how to shift the focus of your electronics curriculum from the component level to a systems approach.
The concept of this workshop will be to use multiple free applications to create dynamic content. In this workshop the participants will learn how to create a blog (a web page) and then add content from other applications as a mashup utilizing the API code. Don’t know what API code is don’t worry that is what the workshop will teach you, but you won’t write any code (no programming knowledge is needed). For example how do you use picture stored at one location in a blog stored at another location? How can you exchange information and browse you home computer from your office computer? How can you view a YouTube video within your class page? How can you store your slides online? These and other topics will be covered in the workshop. This is a hands on workshop that will have the participants doing mash-ups in just a few minutes. Participants will need to have a google account and a hotmail (or Microsoft Live) email account, both are free. Additional resources will be posted online including instructional video.
Instructor: Vince DiNoto
Workshop will meet from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm in Room 108 of the Business building.
This workshop will be held on the Southwest Campus of Jefferson Community and Technical College. The college is located at 1000 Community College Drive, Louisville, KY 40272.

Are you making your summer plans? Consider spending a week in Hawaii participating in a professional development workshop designed to transform your teaching and your students’ learning. The Pacific Region Learning Summit is hosted at Leeward Community College, Pearl City, Hawaii and co-sponsored by the Destination: Scenario-Based Learning Project at Foothill-De Anza Community College District in California.
The 2010 workshops will take place on Oahu, May 24th to 28th. You can choose one of two tracks:
1. Transforming Instruction with Problem Based Learning
This track leads you through the steps required to add problem-based learning to your classroom. You will prepare a course that uses tasks from our online library (http://elc.fhda.edu/faculty/scenarios.html) or create your own PBL tasks, find industry volunteers to visit your classroom, practice facilitating student groups, and design feedback and assessment items for different levels of student work.
2. iCourse Design
This track takes instructors through the process of rethinking their course for online delivery. You will learn how to modify what you are doing in the classroom to delivery it effectively online. Online learning is a different way of learning and participants will be taken through the process of process of shifting from traditional to online instruction.

Nanotechnology was first used to describe the techniques that are associated with semiconductor processing. These techniques are still heavily used to make computer chips and other solid-state devices, but many other industries are now being impacted. The same tools and processes are finding applications in areas such as energy production and may improve our ability to find alternative energy sources. Increased efficiency, alternative materials and means of storage are all being impacted by nanotechnology.
NACK Center staff will share a summary of advancements in this area and explain how some common devices function. The main topic will focus on solar cell devices and how nanotechnology is impacting this field. The advantages and disadvantages of different materials will also be discussed.

Demand for Geospatial Technology, spurred by dash top navigation systems, location enabled smart phone apps and ubiquitous web map services such as Google maps, is seemingly ever increasing. As a result educational institutions are interested in incorporating Geospatial Technology into their curriculums. One of the largest hurdles to geospatial curriculum implementation for K12 institutions is the purchase, deployment and maintenance of GIS software. To develop solutions to the technological hurdles Gainesville State College (GSC), as a member of the National GeoTech Center, has partnered with local K12 institutions to use virtual machines and existing internet connections to create solutions. This webinar will include an overview of the pilot project between GSC and local K12 institutions, technical aspects and implementation specifics of the project and a discussion of the educational outcomes and impact of the program on K12 students.
