Adeserved criticism from industry, where most students go after graduation, is that most universityengineering programs do not incorporate enough hands-on activities (experience) with actualequipment. This is referred to as “practical intelligence” [9]. U.S. undergraduate engineeringeducation has a heavy emphasis on theory with much less emphasis on practical applications[10].Wankat and Oreovicz write, “Despite almost universal agreement on the importance of designand laboratory work, there is a tendency to cut these programs since they are expensive, messy,hard to teach, time-consuming, and not connected to the university’s other mission – research”[11].

In this paper we describe the development aninteractive experience to teach K12 students about prosthetics, medical devices, and soft roboticsby controlling a laboratory-based physical robotic hand via webcam that is reliable in a variety ofcontexts. To evaluate this curriculum, we also present results of a mixed methods approach tocollect quantitative and qualitative data on the tool and students’ perceptions of engineering as aresult of using the tool. Previous research has shown that new materials in soft robots may fosterrobotics interest for a diverse population of students and expand students’ ideas about whatrobots do and how engineering can be used in human
is one of the difficult topics in thermodynamics. Due to its abstract concept andtheoretical nature, students could easily get lost during a typical PowerPoint lecture and found itdifficult to solve related problems in homework and exams. Even when students could follow thesteps to finish their homework, they felt challenged to connect the concept with real-lifeapplications. It showed that the passive learning format is not effective in teaching this subject. Toimprove the student learning, we added an active learning element in the lab portion of the courseby modifying some of the experiments. In many published conference papers, the active learninghas shown being effective in improving student learning. In this paper, we would like to

Graduate students are often engaged in faculty-led laboratories (or research groups) andcollaborative teams as students develop both their teaching and research skills [7, 16, 17].Depending on the size of the research group, faculty advisors' roles and interactions might vary(e.g., large-size, mid-size, or sub-size) [7]. Crede and Borrego found that there were substantialdifferences in the perceived roles and interactions between faculty and graduate students acrossdifferent sized labs [7].

In recent decades, human-centered design (HCD) has arisen as a method for developingdesign thinking in engineering. This approach to design places human needs at the center ofdesign processes, valuing users’ experiences and perspectives as fundamental for the solutionscreated [3], [4]. Barlow and Levy-Bencheton describe HCD as “the opposite of the mad scientistscenario, in which a solitary genius working in a laboratory comes up with a
in written form, with limited time for students’questions. In such settings, the teacher is the focal point of instruction, and students participatepassively as listeners. In this situation, while it is true that some educators conduct exemplaryexpository classes, delivering content with both depth and eloquence, engaging studentseffectively and promoting comprehension of the subject matter. There are also instances in whichthese classes integrate active strategies to invigorate the learning experience. In turn, active learning strategies play a pivotal role by positioning students as activeparticipants in the learning process. Noteworthy approaches include Hybrid Teaching [1], theFlipped Classroom, Peer Instruction [2, 3], Team-Based
