requirement is minimal, it still provided a level of gee-whiz to theproject. Students were concerned about their design flying apart on the centrifuge which perhapsencouraged them to more carefully fasten and secure all components of their accelerometers. Byworking with the students in the laboratory, it was obvious that spinning and shaking somethingthat they had designed and built, certainly added some excitement to the course.References[1] J.

The students then produce an abstract (Figure 3 b),which is submitted online by the deadline, to be peer reviewed by the course’s teachingassistants. The groups prepare their physical model(s) and experimental set-up (Figure 3 c) to betested according to their experiment design (Figure 3d). Once the laboratory results, handcalculations, and simulations are completed, the groups write and submit a paper according to theprovided template and guidelines (Figure 3f).

Such a course is often designed and taughtby Electrical Engineering (EE) faculty and taken by students from various Engineeringdisciplines, including EE.At Quinnipiac University (QU), there is no EE program and only Mechanical Engineeringstudents are required to take an introductory circuits course. This presented an opportunity tocarefully design a course tailored to the specific needs of our students in the context of ourcurriculum, the post-graduation expectations of our constituents, and current trends inelectromechanical system integration. Furthermore, with Mechanical Engineering being a newprogram at QU, there was also a rare opportunity to design a circuits laboratory space fromscratch (infrastructure

According to the deansinterviewed, the most common ways EM could help faculty is through enhancing the impact oftheir research and having them place more value in educational innovation. This is exemplifiedperfectly by the following quote from a dean J at an R1/R2 private institution: I am really speaking about using research funding to develop technologies that have, generally, commercial application, but that could be put to broader use beyond an individual laboratory. One of the descriptors I've used is, "science that doesn't stop at the laboratory door." Meaning, publishing the paper is wonderful, but

Further, the AAS.MET programwill provide extensive classroom study along with laboratory explorations.
