Industrial Context

A process control course was elaborated around the specific regional (industrial) context in which UQAR has an important mission of regional development. A multidisciplinary approach is used, integrating notions from various fields of engineering (electrical, mechanical, chemical and civil engineering) through theme examples such as wastewater treatment, pulp and paper making, mining and metallurgical extraction (mineral grinding). Laboratory activities on such processes are realized using a simulation software specifically designed for process control education. The small size of the groups at UQAR also allows to employ innovative strategies on how to run the activities and to evaluate the students. One laboratory on a real physical system (electrical motor) was also part of the course, to balance between the advantages of the software and the more “hands-on” laboratories. General feedback and comparative appreciation from students is then presented, followed by overall conclusions

Necessary Connections

Traditional engineering education has relied on teaching theoretical fundamentals, reinforced in some courses by laboratory experiments. However, for practical reasons experiments are limited in the scope, and many students fail to make the necessary connections between the theory and its applications. To bridge the gap between theory and applications we use the tools of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). The hands-on use of simulation tools such as CAD, FEA or Motion Analysis helps students visualize and understand the application of theory to real engineering problems and allows students to model and simulate much more complex problems than are amenable to hand calculations. At the same time, the use of commercial simulation software provides students with skills that are in high demand in the market place.

Hands-on type training of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) is characterized by assisted application and combination of multiple simulation software tools and data. In this paper, we present recent experiences in establishing a cloud-based infrastructure to enable remote use of dedicated commercial and open access simulation tools during an interactive on-line training event. In the first part, we summarize the hardware and software requirements and illustrate how these have been met using cloud hardware services, a simulation platform environment, a suitable communication channel, common workspaces and more. The second part of the article focuses (i) on the requirements for suitable on-line hands-on training material and (ii) on details of some of the approaches taken. Eventually, the practical experiences made during three consecutive on-line training courses held in September 2020 with 35 nominal participants each, are discussed in detail.

Teaching methodology for industrial engineering must adapt and update its pedagogy by adopting innovative and dynamic approaches to training in state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. The development of virtual reality and computer simulation software has significantly improved the quality of education by raising learner motivation, commitment, and participation in the learning process. In university contexts characterised by large numbers of students, a hands-on approach to training in machine-tool operation on lathes and mills is unfeasible. Hence, the teaching methodology proposed involves the use of machine-tool simulators to undertake practical tasks in a virtual learning environment. The learning tasks focus on the main machine-tool components and their movements as well as on the principles and operations of machining in turning and milling processes performed on virtual machine where learners can acquire skills similar to those using traditional methodology, but require fewer resources and learning time spans.

Improve Instruction

The Materials Science Department at Iowa State University has developed a laboratory designed to improve instruction in the use of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The laboratory makes use of a computer network and a series of remote workstations in a classroom setting to provide students with increased hands-on access to the SEM. The laboratory has also been equipped such that distance learning via the internet can be achieved.A view of the laboratory is shown in Figure 1. The laboratory consists of a JEOL 6100 SEM, a Macintosh Quadra computer that acts as a server for the network and controls the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), four Macintosh computers that act as remote workstations, and a fifth Macintosh that acts as an internet server. A schematic layout of the classroom is shown in Figure 2. The workstations are connected directly to the SEM to allow joystick and computer control of the microscope. An ethernet connection between the Quadra and the workstations allows students seated there to operate the EDS. Control of the microscope and joystick is passed between the workstations by a switch-box assembly that resides at the microscope console. When the switch-box assembly is activated a direct serial line is established between the specified workstation and the microscope via the SEM’s RS-232.

Teaching Learning

Promoting cultural competence in serving diverse clients has become critically important across disciplines. Yet, progress has been limited in raising awareness and sensitivity. Tervalon and Murray-Garcia (1998) believed that cultural competence can only be truly achieved through critical self-assessment, recognition of limits, and ongoing acquisition of knowledge (known as “cultural humility”). Teaching cultural humility, and the value associated with it remains a challenging task for many educators. Challenges inherent in such instruction stem from lack of resources/known strategies as well as learner and instructor readiness. Kirk (2007) further indicates that providing feedback on one's integrity could be threatening. In current study, both traditional classroom-based teaching pedagogy and hands-on community engagement were reviewed. To bridge a gap between academic teaching/learning and real world situations, the author proposed service learning as a means to teach cultural humility and empower students with confidence in serving clients from culturally/linguistically diverse backgrounds. To provide a class of 51 students with multicultural and multilingual community service experience, the author partnered with the Tzu-Chi Foundation (an international nonprofit organization). In this article, the results, strengths, and limitations of this service learning project are discussed.

Lack Of Knowledge

Telepractice, defined by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA, n.d.) as “the application of telecommunications technology to the delivery of professional services at a distance by linking clinician to client, or clinician to clinician, for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation,” is a quickly growing aspect of practicing audiology. However, only 12% of audiologists are involved in providing services via telepractice (REDA International, Inc., 2002). Lack of knowledge regarding telepractice has been cited as one of the reasons many audiologists do not use telepractice to provide audiology services. This study surveyed audiology doctoral students regarding their opinions about the use of telepractice both before and after their opportunity to provide services via telepractice sessions. The authors expected that by providing students the opportunity to have hands-on training in telepractice with supervision, they would be more open to using telepractice after becoming licensed audiologists. Overall, the data indicates benefits of exposing students to telepractice while they are in graduate school.
