The positive reviews of the new approach by renowned members of the ChemicalEngineering community both in Colombia and overseas, as well as comments from students andfaculty, have been significant and valuable confirmations of our vision.IntroductionEngineering education is fundamental in enhancing the well-being of people and theenvironment, and therefore, it is important to take the necessary steps to develop it and enhanceit 1. Finding the most effective ways to teach students and translate that learning into productiveskills is an everyday challenge in engineering education. Current research shows that educationalquality, more than quantity, has a causal impact on economic growth 2. The same can be said

A Project-based Computer Engineering CurriculumAbstractThis paper documents an innovative, project-based approach to teaching computer engineering.A project-based undergraduate computer engineering curriculum, with an embedded systemsfocus, has been offered since 2004 at a small, private college in the Northwestern US. The maingoals of the curriculum are twofold. The first is to engage students in engineering problemsstarting in the first semester of the Program, thus providing them with a sense of pride andownership in their work. The second is to prepare students for engineering careers by involvingthem in complex, team projects, which are typically only conducted outside of requiredundergraduate coursework, at the graduate level, or in

apply voltage and current division. Weemphasize the importance of comparing and contrasting when teaching concepts, particularly forthe cases of voltage and current sources, short and open circuits (as special cases of voltage andcurrent sources, respectively), voltage and current dividers, series and parallel connections, andvoltage and current measurements. We highlight the importance of contrasting the variousfunctions of terminals in a circuit. We propose various models that can promote understandingof basic electrical concepts, such as a microscopic Drude model of conduction, a “balls in tube”analogy to explain the constancy of current through circuit elements, and a “control loop” modelto explain the operation of voltage and current

Furthermore, using the Informed Design Teaching and Learning Matrix5 as a framework,an evaluation was performed before and after the experience to monitor the evolution of thestudent as a researcher. The student, who was used to traditional course-based learning,manifested remarkable ability to progress and learn in a research-based environment. After theconclusion of the research experience, the student showed growing interest in continuing toperform mechatronics research at the graduate level.The rest of the paper is organized as follows: in Part I, we begin by addressing the project set

In Crismond and Adams’ (2012) Informed Design Teaching and Learning matrix, theability to conduct valid experiments was identified as a key design ability.33 From theperspective of engineering students, experimenting has been depicted as supplemental to andreinforcing of the general theory learned from lecture or a textbook.34 Therefore, the connectionbetween experimenting and innovation within engineering seems direct and pervasive.The
