Theresults showed statistically higher average gains in the classes using active learning methods.Inspired by inductive teaching and active learning approaches, some textbooks started tointroduce fundamental topics by using cases/projects instead of focusing on the calculations inSTEM disciplines [12].Through our teaching experiences, we have also observed that students learn more effectivelywhen videos and in-class demonstrations are introduced as supplements to lecture notes,especially when software and hardware are used. For example, CENG342 Digital Systems is arequired course for

opportunity to calibrate an instrument against tabulated values fromnature.Design of ExperimentsA key idea from metrology and quality measurements that has long been part of EP Lab is theDesign of Experiments (DOE). This approach allows the researcher to model a complex processbased on a relatively small amount of empirical data. The DOE method is a key part both the SixSigma11 and the Certified Quality Engineer12 certifications. In EP Lab, students develop a two-level, three-factor, full-factorial model of a catapult (i.e. each combination of “high” and “low”settings for the three inputs is used). As reported in our earlier work,1 with our recognition ofDOE as a key component in metrology and measurement quality, we added a term project todevelop a

used for this project had 600 pulses per revolution. With quadrature, thetotal resolution was 2400 increments per revolution. The encoder was connected to the inter-rupt pins of the Arduino (pins 2 and 3). Using interrupt routines causes the code for the po-sition update to run when triggered by the changing state of the signal, rather than having theprogram constantly check the signal to determine when to update the position. This allowsfor accurate position tracking without bogging down the system. The encoder features a built-in voltage regulator, so it was powered externally. The input lines were protected with10 kΩpullup resistors to ensure reliability of the measurements. The wiring diagram showing theconnection of both the encoder and

online.There are few simulators to choose from, and these are quite expensive. Therefore, the questionwas asked, “how do we teach electric motors in a way that is inexpensive for both the studentand the institution?” To answer this question, an undergraduate student research project wasdesigned and developed with funding from the university’s Center of Undergraduate Researchand Creative Activities. The objective of the project was to develop a user-friendly simulator thatcan be used to conduct electric motors (machines) experiments. This project resulted in thedevelopment of a customized educational simulator appropriate for use in the electric motorscourse. The instructor can use this simulator as a tool to teach his/her students various

Students placed in teams may also gain the benefits of peerprogramming, while also providing more authentic industry working conditions and supportingABET student outcome (d), working in multidisciplinary teams [7].
