The newly developed courses providestudents with skills in mechatronics, automotive mechatronics, electro-hydraulics, simulation ofmechatronics systems, and are complementing already existing courses in the MET curriculumthat are focused on automation, industrial robotics, computer integrated manufacturing, computernumerical control. Along with developing new courses, some existing courses have beenmodified to reflect electrified mechanisms, such as a Solid Modeling course 18. Through thesecourses, students were exposed to areas specific to electrical engineers, such as electronicshardware, microprocessors, and microcontrollers programming and coding. While MET studentsget exposed to some topics in electrical engineering technology

Teaching Model1 recommends that instructors use the ideas of Interpersonal Rapportand Intellectual Excitement as guides towards becoming an effective professor. These categoriesare broad and it is apparent that the assessment of performance is unavoidably subjective. Eachindividual brings a unique perspective to a classroom experience, which influences theirperception of the communication skills, organization, and caring spirit of the professor. Whilethe proposed rubric does not eliminate the subjectivity of a professor’s teaching performance, itdoes provide a tool for young professors to reflect on performance and identify focus areas thatare shown to improve teaching.Final Credits – AcknowledgementsThe inspiration for this collaboration began at

The current process takes place near the end of each semester when students are most focused on final exams, projects, and finishing up course work in general rather than their future development and growth. 3) Within the Engineering Leadership department, the department has grown and gained students and faculty with diverse interests and backgrounds.

(fNIRS). fNIRS monitors brain activity by measuring the changeof hemoglobin in human cortex, which is associated with cognitive activities [24]. fNIRSsensors (including sources and detectors) placed on a wearable cap or band emit near infraredlights (wavelength 700-900nm) into the cortex and the detectors receive the light which is notabsorbed and reflected back. Oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin(HbR) absorb more light than other tissues in the brain and they have different absorptionspectra, therefore, the relative change of hemoglobin, or Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent(BOLD) response can be captured by the use of light attenuation at multiple wavelengths.As a non-invasive, safe and portable technique, fNIRS can be used

, the STEM elements that are inherent in making can be made all the moreobvious. This could be attributed to one of three ways. First, it situates making in contexts thatare personal, culturally, socially relevant to students. Second, it can encourage students to be partof a production pipeline and contribute to something novel and useful to society. Third,involvement in this form of making places students in long-term scenarios acting as Makers fullyengaging in STEM. We believe this approach to making can enable students to gain a holisticview of their making ability as well understand how developed knowledge can be transferred.This reflects Grotevant’s process of identity formation as arising out of continual exploration andevaluation 9

question was phrased to be too general, the feedback would be short ofclarity. On the other hand, if the question was phrased to be too specific, it would trigger awide range of feedback (i.e., a normal distribution curve with a high deviation).According to the instructor, the P2P platform was somehow functionally coupled with thelearning management system (LMS). From time to time, students needed to visit the LMS towatch the lecture recordings to reflect the previous concepts during the self-study of newconcepts. Once students developed a routine habit of using the platform, it was also used bythe instructor to make important course announcements and conduct course surveys.Conclusion, Limitation, and Future WorkThis paper presents a new learning

there are no failures in engineering, just opportunities for redesign. Engaging inthe engineering design process within education is intended as a way for youth to practiceencountering challenges and persevering through them to create a solution [4].Helping students learn about, and learn how to use, the engineering design process is a major aimof engineering education [5]. Engineering design is useful in practice because it allows studentsto make mental models concrete and offers time to make decisions, reflect, communicate, andcollaborate [6]. Additionally, understanding engineering design is important because the processis used by engineers in all professional fields [7]. Because of its prevalence among professionals,the process is key to

To achieve this, students are paired based on experience andinterest, which helps keep them engaged throughout the course [3]. In this way, students mustbecome familiar with topics of less interest or familiarity, but also thrive by inevitably teachingothers topics they are familiar with, which also helps keep them engaged due to the confidencethey already have with the material they are assisting others with [3] and increases their ownlearning through teaching [4].While the teaching approaches incorporated into the developed course are suitable for

The evolution of modern technologies (mobile devices, Internet of Things, cloudcomputing, etc.) keeps bringing in challenges in system engineering education. Hands-onpractices may not be sufficient enough to educate engineering students to face the unknownand fast-paced competitions. Imagination should also be considered as one of the keycapabilities for the students to develop in system engineering education.

Often these productsrepresent innovative but unproven designs, emerging technologies, or niche products with alimited but passionate consumer base, such as hobbyists or fans of a particular franchise. Somecampaigns represent products in the early stages of development seeking funding to enablefurther testing and refinement of the design. Others are more complete, soliciting funds toenable a production run. Because these projects are seeking investors, designers

These results may be reflective of students who have low emotional stability, seek tofollow social norms and conventions, and have abilities to succeed in the “stress culture” ofengineering [63]. Grit-persistence of effort was related to the other affective constructs ofidentity, motivation, and belonging, but Grit-consistency of interest had a weak negativecorrelation with many of the stress indicators. This result may point to differential factors of howGrit may operate in engineering students when compared to the larger populations in which ithas been used previously, like psychology students and adults.
