He is pursuing his career as an entrepreneur in the field of Civil Engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Design of Flipped Classroom Model for a Computer Aided Structural Analysis Design and Experimentation Course AbstractEngineering course redesign with educational pedagogy is gaining widespread acceptance. Thereis a move from teacher-centered lectures to student-centered active learning strategies that willbenefit student learning. It is important that students develop critical thinking and analytical skillsthat will form the basis of lifelong learning. In this

concepts throughout theircollege career. Indeed, as their studies delve deeper into upper division courses, matters evolvefrom conceptually straightforward (i.e., statics) to more sophisticated (deformable) andpotentially abstract (thermodynamics). Challenges can arise correcting mistaken preconceptions,and linking perceptually-abstract mathematical formulas to real-world examples. Indeed, studies[1], [2] show that students value real life applications of the material covered, and that suchapplications contribute to a deep conceptual knowledge.Western Kentucky University offers programs in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering,presented with a focus on project-based learning. The institution further maintain activerelationships with the

Paper ID #26013Digilent Analog Discovery and Bench-top Instruments: A ComparisonDr. Shaghayegh Abbasi, University of San Diego Shaghayegh Abbasi received her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of Washington in 2011. In her thesis, titled ’Integrating top-down and bottom-up nanomanufacturing: Controlling the growth and composition of seeded nanostructures’, an innovative nanomanufacturing method is explored and optimized. Upon graduation, she started her career as Senior System Design Engineer at Lumedyne Technologies. She worked on design, simulation, and testing of a Time Domain Switched (TDS) ac

Conclusion Quadcopters, and all kinds of unmanned technology, are quickly on the rise. Introducingstudents to these technologies early on can help them in their future engineering careers. Overall,this project is a favorite among most students. A lot of students go on to make their ownquadcopters after learning how to make one in their freshman engineering class.

author.Contact information:Prof. Harry C. PowellElectrical and Computer EngineeringUniversity of Virginiahcp7ad@virginia.eduBackgroundEngineering is frequently perceived by many students as an entirely mathematical, abstract, andchallenging discipline. Students often perceive it as a trial and that the time expended oncoursework will lead to a financial or other gain after graduation [1]. At the same time, we areasking students to assimilate the theoretical understanding we are asking them to learn hands-onand experimental approaches and to develop the reasoning and decision-making skills sonecessary in their future careers. These significantly different skillsets are sometimes at oddswith each other, and it is difficult to balance the requirements of

paper describes recent development of a hands-on, laboratory exercise in a Thermo-fluidscourse. The benefits of using real world equipment for the lab provide curiosity among studentsand enthusiasm among faculty. As students were able to measure physical parameters on a realworld device, they began to see utility in their lab experience. This drives student engagement, asthey become invested in the lab, and the open-ended nature of the problem promotes the idea thatstudents must continually strive to update their skills throughout their careers. The short term goalsare to evaluate existing coursework and integrate more applications and labs that could make animpact on the students’ learning. There are many opportunities to improve the course

from which direction an object is being detected. Then, if both sensors are detecting objects withina certain range, the haptic motors would sync up with each other and vibrate simultaneously. The next step tofurther improve the overall product would be to design a case for the entire board and solder the wires ratherthan using the breadboard. This way it would be one complete and compact piece which could be attached to Figure 8: Student enrollment over last two years Figure 9: Different hands on projects being displayed during career fair and high school visitsthe glove. To further reduce the size of the device that fits on the glove, more compact sensors could be usedto replace the rather large HC-SR04
