Education, 2023 Design an Energy-Saving Device: An Engaging Module for a Laboratory CourseAbstractThis paper describes a new module that was developed and deployed in a sophomore circuitslaboratory course, how it was evaluated, and the results of student surveys addressing theeffectiveness of the module. The module challenges the students to design, build, anddemonstrate a simple device of their choosing that has the potential to save energy. In addition tolearning how to program a microcontroller, the objectives of the module are to give studentspractice in identifying real world engineering opportunities and to connect the class content tothe real world.The module is designed to engage the students by

(SU) and the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) want to expandglobal engagement opportunities for students and faculty. Additionally, the Office of GlobalEngagement and CSE aim to develop partnerships with the members of the InternationalAssociation of Jesuit Engineering Schools (IAJES). However, challenges exist for both studentsand faculty to participate in global programs. Students face multiple barriers, including potentialimpacts on time to graduation, cost, and competing summer plans, such as internships andathletics. Faculty teach heavy course loads and limited resources exist to support development ofco-curricular activities. This pilot collaborative international engineering project provided ashort-term global engagement
