Photovoice reflections as well as written and oral presentations during andat the end of the term and are based on evaluating the level of practical knowledge gained by the studentsduring the development of such projects. As a general outcome, students became more involved duringclass time, and also they have shown interest in other research areas, being involved in extra courseresearch activities. Details related to the intervention and lessons learned will be provided so otherengineering instructors can easily re-create in the classroom. Overall, many different fields ofengineering instructors can benefit from this project-based approach to combine theory and practice toprepare the students to become better problem solvers and obtain practical

, reflectiveobservation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation, created by contextualdemands. Thus, ELT's implications for the course's design consisted of guiding learners throughrecursive processes of experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting to respond to the learningsituation. That is, "immediate or concrete experiences are the basis for observations andreflections. These reflections are assimilated and distilled into abstract concepts from which newimplications for action can be drawn. These implications can be actively tested and serve asguides in creating new experiences" [5]. Specifics of how ELT guided the course implementationare described in the section below.3.

, students were asked to complete the modulesin class in a self-paced activity. This self-paced format seemed to be a good fit for studentsexploring standards, with one student saying: Personally, I really preferred this type of module for AM standards over the typical lectures. Not to say that technical standards and AM standards aren't important, but it would be difficult to fully learn and understand them by just sitting through lectures about them. I thought the reflections and case study were the best activities to have gone through in the modules. Showing how to find standards and then trying to apply them and give reasoning to where they can be used was a good exercise, and made the overall topic

The ARG has been designed as a miniature narrative, which a middle-school educator can independently deploy, instead of requiring specialized game designer staff tooversee. This purposeful ARG-in-a-box methodology is intended to enhance

successful outcome.D. X-ray InspectionAfter the reflow soldering process, the PCB with all of the components is sent for an X-rayinspection test. This test is used to gauge the quality of the solder joints. During the test, x-rayspenetrate the silicon in IC packages and reflect off the metal joints, creating a grayscale imagedepicting metal in a darker hue. This image shows the precision of the solders and whether anydefects exist, such as open solder joints, misaligned parts, or lifted pins beneath the IC packets.The X-ray image of the PCB is then compared to a reference image to identify any differences.If any misalignments are discovered, the component is sent back for repair.MethodsA SimEvents model of PCB assembly process is designed and

criteria for accrediting engineering and engineering technologyprograms reflect the importance of standards competence for students. Specifically, the 2023-2024 Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) criterion 5d states, “The curriculum mustinclude a culminating major engineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriateengineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work.” [1] Also, the Engineering Technology AccreditationCommission (ETAC) criterion 3 states student outcomes of “an ability to conduct standard tests,measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results” (3.A.4) and “an abilityto conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments

'zero' coordinates set.The spindle is moved to the test start position and the QC20-W is mounted between two kinematicmagnetic joints. A simple G02 and G03 command program is required to start the test. The“classic” test calls for the machine tool to perform two consecutive circles; one in a clockwisedirection, the other counter-clockwise. In practice there is an extra arc added before and after thetest circle to allow for the machine accelerating and then slowing down. By using extension barsthe test radius can be selected to reflect the size of the machine and the sensitivity to particularissues (e.g. large radius circles are better at highlighting machine geometry errors, smaller circlesare more sensitive to servo mismatch or lag).

Our objective is to examine prior studies in related areas, analyzetheir findings, and compare our proposed research. Additionally, this section emphasizes variousinteraction methods used in previous studies and their impact on collaboration.2.1 Active LearningActive learning follows a constructivist approach and emphasizes student engagement and hands-on, collaborative activities. Constructivism proposes that people gain knowledge through practicerather than passive observation. This approach promotes self-reflection and helps students developthe essential skills needed for professional

power the four drone arms’ motor/electronic speed controller and three optional outlets3.3 Function Testing of PDBAfter the conceptual design in adopted, the next step towards developing this concept into aworking model is to test the function of PDB. The basic electric connectivity between the mainpower node and the utility (distribution) nodes was tested and verified to reflect the circuitdesign. Another important operational consideration is the heating of the board due the highcurrent it delivers from the battery to the motors- through the electronic speed controllers (ESC)-and other utilities. With guidance from the electrical engineering faculty mentor, student withmechanical engineering background set up a test to monitor the temperature
