andautomation in the fall of 2018. This program, the first engineering program on campus, is mix ofelectrical, mechanical, and computer engineering appropriate for developing robotic systems. Aspart of the engineering curriculum, students take an electronics course in the spring semester oftheir second year. The course introduces students to the behavior of circuits and elements whenvarying voltage sources are used. The frequency response of circuits is of particular interest. Thisprovides an opportunity to introduce the concept of automating data acquisition and analysis. Weare taking advantage of this opportunity.Program DescriptionThe Engineering Physics program (Program) is focused on robotics and automation. Thecurriculum consists of classes in

These courseswere offered at the Missouri University of Science and Technology and through MissouriOnline distance education. The primary audience included students of environmentalengineering as well as students of civil engineering and architectural engineering andstudents of nursing. The module included an overview of community engagement,gathering community information, co-identification of a problem and a solution, andtesting the solution.While many forms of community engagement often aim to unearth problems and co-design solutions in a partnership between the researcher/scholar and

disciplinesthat are not perceived by novice learners as computational in nature. Previous research indicates thatstudents majoring in subjects that are not programming-heavy might think they will not need these skillsin their careers, or they are less capable [1]. However, both students and professionals across differentengineering disciplines commonly accept that diversifying one's skill set makes one more marketableand favorably positioned for career advancement [2][3]. Additionally, studies suggest that materialsscience and engineering (MSE) faculty favor incorporating computational tools into their teaching andthink that computation is an essential component of the curriculum [4].

creator of this case study has a specific“answer” to the problem in mind. Burns et al. [ 19] agree saying “If a case is constructed by‘hinting’ at how to examine a set of predetermined principles, the student is being handed acontext that is built to reduce the disagreement to such a fundamental level that no actualsituation could ever resemble it. Most of the serious moral work is already done”. Conversely,when approaching narratives–whether on the page or a podcast – students share an implicitacknowledgement that bias, interpretation, and analysis are an integral part of the genre and,thus, look at the characters and their actions rather than searching for a specific answer to aproblem.The critical narratives we used for this particular study

Clear and cogent writingand communication skills are critical competencies as identified by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology) [1], and the National Academy of Engineering [2]. Today’ssuccessful engineer must master more than one competency (see figure 1), includingcommunication and writing skills, which comprise between 20%-40% of an engineer’s workday:writing project proposals, memoranda, business letters, and e-mails

The Framework for K-12 Science Education [1] and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [1] were the first timenational reform documents referred specifically to engineering.

Costigan (2020)discussed the use of two CBR projects to advance student learning in research and courseworkand illustrate to students what it means for research to have an impact. Mello-Goldner (2019)described the integration of CBR in a two-semester course and its impact on undergraduatestudents. Through the engagement with external community organizations, students wereprovided with a larger and more varied data set. In addition, students completed a conference-style poster and learned how to present results to the college community.Despite the rewards that come with adopting or implementing CBR, it can be challenging tomeet community needs and university

Course structure and variations across different yearsThe course Material Characterization in Metal Forming is part of the curriculum for mechanicaland industrial engineers at the Technical University of Dortmund. For some of the mechanicalengineering students, especially those specializing in the subject of manufacturing engineering,this course is mandatory whereas for the rest it is an elective course in the 5th semester (3rd year).The students had an introduction to forming technology in their first semester and should havecompleted the basic
activity that includes STEMdevelopment is widespread in North America. An umbrella organization, the Teaching WithSmall Boats Alliance [3], serves as a clearing house of relevant information. The organizationhas hundreds of programs and individuals as members and “is committed to sharing knowledge,ideas, and best practices about leadership and program development, hands-on building projects,boat use, and integration of maritime-based lessons into school curricula.” These programsprimarily focus on K-12 or adults.Course Description and Construction RequirementsWhile the goals and populations served for the project differ between the two institutions, thecourses share many similarities, primarily in the course requirements, product, and
inengineering [2] [4] [5]. Critical thinking involves identifying, analyzing, and testing informationat a high cognitive level [5]. Developing the art of critical thinking in students is a persistenteffort in an engineering curriculum. Students are encouraged to exercise this by identifying theproblem, making accurate and reliable judgments, and implementing logical and dependablesolutions to real-world problems. Issa et al. studied a significant difference in student learningbetween conventional and project-based learning strategies [5]. Students understand the needs of their community through PBSL. Studies as early as1994 by Batchelder et al. demonstrated that PBSL positively affects students’ psychological,social, and cognitive development
tacklethe “messiness” of open-ended design problems.[1] Particularly in large first-year courses,implementing and assessing these open-ended design problems is difficult due to resource(space, staffing, time, financial, etc.) constraints. Finding an appropriate balance betweenconcrete and open-ended design projects is critical to maximizing students’ learning.ENGGEN 115: Principles of Engineering Design is a required first-year course in the Faculty ofEngineering at the University of Auckland. The course was re-designed in 2022 to emphasizedesign process over technical engineering, promote creative problem solving, and to test aconcrete/open-ended balance that might work for the combination of curriculum, student cohort,and faculty arrangement in

There is a common course for all first years that includes a libraryworkshop; however, that program was not required for all sections when this cohort werefreshmen, so attendance likely varies from student to student. Those who did attend would havereceived an introduction to commonly used research databases in engineering and would havepracticed evaluating and citing sources as part of assignments for that course. Additionally,students likely received some instruction and practice for IL skills in other courses throughoutthe curriculum, including a writing intensive course in their major and an advanced
