Generally, it is arranged for engineering undergraduates in the summer holiday at theend of the 6th semester, taking about 2-3 weeks (1 month for individual major) inprofessional-related factories or enterprises. During the practice, students are organized intorelevant units to visit workshops, laboratories and other sites. They listen to special lectures,and participate in alumni exchange meetings as well. For some non-confidential industries,short-term hands-on links may be arranged for the students, in which factory workers directlyteach students on actual operation and production processes.Colleges and universities

They are a prevalent practice for helping students develop design thinking expertise,although their structure and content may vary across disciplines. Understanding the teaching

The project also requires students to work in teams, plan a long-term project, andcommunicate their product development plan, preliminary design, and final designs through aseries of presentations and reports. The course has a final competition where teams demonstratetheir designed products. In an earlier paper, Calabro, Gupta, and Lopez Roschwalb23 discussedmore details about the design and implementation of this Design Course.Each section is staffed by an instructor and an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA).Additionally, there are laboratory teaching fellows who manage the laboratory/fabrication spaceand assist teams in fabrication and/or programming as needed. The staffing for

Those opportunities are being explored with the assistance of the UndergraduateCurriculum Committee in their effort to adopt a Teaching Across the Curriculum model forspecific engineering skill sets, including design.References1 Olds, B.M., M.J.

physical manipulative tools in teaching/learning environmentsLaboratories and visual computer simulations have been found to be effective in helping studentsunderstand abstract concepts (Zacharia & Olympiou, 2011). However, it has been suggested thatvisual simulations alone may not be fully supportive for some students learning these concepts(Chi, 2008). In addition, most of the currently available simulations focus on the sense of sightand hearing, and very little on the sense of touch, which is one of the most common ways forpeople to interact with physical objects (Thurfjell, McLaughlin, Mattsson & Lammertse, 2002;Han & Black, 2011). Moreover, the availability of laboratories and equipment necessary to carryout physical experiments

Prior to this position, he was the Associate Chair of the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech – Savannah. He was also the Founding Director of the Systems Realization Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of
,Assimilating, Converging, and Accommodating. Project-based experiential learning ideallyharnesses a student’s natural interest and motivation to navigate an iterative path of evolvingexperiences, each of which enhance learning in different ways. Figure 1: Kolb's Experiential Learning Conceptual ModelImplementation of the experiential learning model is commonly done through project-basedlearning. Blumenfeld et al. defined project-based learning as, “A comprehensive perspectivefocused on teaching by engaging students in investigation.” 23 Within this framework, studentspursue solutions to nontrivial problems by asking and refining questions, debating ideas, makingpredictions, designing plans and/or experiments, collecting and
