Paper ID #22639ROS as an Undergraduate Project-based Learning EnablerDr. Stephen Andrew Wilkerson P.E., York College of Pennsylvania Stephen Wilkerson (swilkerson@ycp.edu) received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1990 in Mechanical Engineering. His Thesis and initial work was on underwater explosion bubble dynamics and ship and submarine whipping. After graduation he took a position with the US Army where he has been ever since. For the first decade with the Army he worked on notable programs to include the M829A1 and A2 that were first of a kind composite saboted munition. His travels have taken him to Los

Department of Secondary Education University of Wyoming mike.borowczak@uwyo.edu , andrea.burrows@uwyo.eduWith the adoption of pedagogical practices such as Authentic Science and Inquiry-based projects withincollegiate level classrooms, researchers focused on delivering advanced concepts investigated the level ofstudent success in conducting authentic science during a six-week long inquiry project. Two main questionsare explored: 1) do students working on self-guided, problem-based projects, engage in active inquiry? and2) is there alignment between exemplar active inquiry projects and other assessments? This pilot researchstudy focuses on twelve self-selected projects from a group

American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Modeling a Perceptron Neural Network Using Verilog Developed Floating- Point Numbering System and Modules for Hardware SynthesisAbstractThe purpose of a capstone design project is to provide graduating senior students the opportunityto demonstrate understanding of the concepts they have learned during the course of their studies.As with many engineering programs, students of the computer engineering program at Utah ValleyUniversity (UVU) conclude their degree programs with a semester capstone design experience.This paper presents the details of a sample project that a student has done in this capstone course.This senior design project implements the perceptron neural network using Systems

Table III is a list of all video game projects in2017. Table IV shows whether the lab assignments and student projects have a focus on gamingfrom 2015 to 2017. Each project group was formed by students and had between one to threestudents per group. Students can choose their project with a gaming focus or a project of otherfocus using the Basys-3 board. Table V shows the number of student projects with a gamingfocus and other design focus, as well as the project evaluation outcome.Table III List of video game projects in digital system design course in

collaborative learning is not directly relevant to our approach since thekinds of activities considered in much of that work, e.g., team projects in capstone design coursesas well as in several of the systems listed above do not, for the most part, involve students in ateam trying to resolve cognitive conflicts. Indeed, students in such teams often go out of their wayto not criticize the ideas offered by other members of the team for fear of offending them. Morerelevant for us is the work on the role of argumentation in learning. But, as Driver et al. [8] putit, “[although] argument is a central feature of the resolution of scientific controversies, scienceteaching has paid . . . little attention to [this] practice . . . It is our contention that
