-time and discrete-time systems, analog or digital filter design, and hybrid power system design. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Project-Based Learning on Diverse Concepts in a Power Electronic LaboratoryAbstractThis paper presents a project-based learning approach to teach the fundamental aspects of a DCmotor, half-wave, and full-wave rectifier circuits in a laboratory. The lab's objectives include: 1. Learn about the essential components of a DC motor by constructing a low-cost DC motor kit. 2. Explore practical methods to enhance the design and performance of the DC motor. 3. Explore and build half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits to

complete tendirected laboratory projects and a final comprehensive project at the end of the semester.Students must maintain laboratory manuals for each activity. The program requires the use of thePython scripting language throughout upper division coursework. The department is changing itscurriculum to introduce coding in the 1st-year physics sequence. To reinforce these skills, theelectronics course will introduce the use of Jupyter Notebooks (JN) as the laboratory notebookformat. A JN is a web-based platform that allows students to create cells of code or text. Textcells provide a platform for students to describe the “what, why, and how” of theirmeasurements. Code cells can run Python (or many other programming languages) code. Thisallows

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. We examined course materials to identify where writing is explicitly or implicitly referenced, the genres that were assigned, and writing concepts that were represented. Analyzing course materials allowed us to identify a wide range of activities and assignments related to writing. We observed that implicit references to writing are prevalent, writing activities are weighted toward upper-level classes, and the most common genres are related to laboratory activities. Writing concepts that occurred frequently in upper-level laboratory courses correspond to disciplinary values of precision and clarity, while concepts of novelty and evidence were infrequent. This

practical physics labs, especially in historically black collegesand universities (HBCUs). Also, the difficulty undergraduate students have in making connectionsbetween their theory teachings and their practical exercises, as well as how pertinent these labsessions are to their everyday lives, has led to the conclusion that physics experiments are highlyabstract. This study used low-cost, interactive, code-free, portable technology to improve students’practical experiences and report how these experiments are applied in everyday activities. Thestudy involved 50 STEM students registered for the Introduction to physics laboratory course.According to the students’ feedback and the motivated strategy for learning questionnairesadopted, they were very

. Ultimately, the solution to the lack of dedicated engineering space was simple (butnot easy): construct a new building. However, building a new space on campus requiresinstitutional support and a funding source. The College President and College Advancementoffice began raising funds to design and build an addition to the existing science center. Theseefforts culminated in the construction in 2017 of a joint Engineering and Biomedical SciencesHall, which included a dedicated engineering laboratory, an engineering computation lab, amodern teaching classroom, three faculty offices, and two “project labs” intended to provideworkspace for Engineering and Integrated Science design, research, and capstone projects.However, shortly after construction was

Curriculum StructureBy following the engineering criteria developed and listed above we can create a unifyingframework for the development of the undergraduate Machine Learning for Engineers courseand curriculum. This allows faculty who teach the course to have a coherent curriculum in whichharmony is achieved for all aspects of course goals and objectives, design, syllabus, as well asmethods of teaching and assessment [28][29]. We have identified five distinct concept areas,which can be taught as course modules.4.1 Introduction to Deep Learning ConceptsAt the very beginning of the course it is
