An alternative is to increase exposure to programming and electrical contentin traditionally mechanical engineering courses, such as through the incorporation ofmicroprocessors across the curriculum.This work investigates the incorporation of microprocessors (specifically Arduinos) into theMechanical Engineering curriculum. The goals of this effort are to increase students’ familiaritylevel with microprocessor capabilities, to increase exposure to mechatronic systems, to allow forhigher fidelity prototypes in class projects, and to provide an accessible and inexpensive way forstudents to explore applications of what they learn in

. Students participate in labs through which they gain hands-on experience inmilling, turning, forming, welding, and sand casting, among other manufacturing processes. Additionally,through several iterations of an individual project, each student builds a functional, high-fidelity, well-finished prototype of their own design. Drawing from Dewey alongside Lave and Wenger’s theories oflearning through experience and participation in communities of practice, we observe how students engagetheir mind, hands, and heart in a makerspace environment and the subsequent changes that they experience.We hypothesize that greater integration of students’ mind, hands, and heart is associated with increasedengineering task self-efficacy, innovation self-efficacy

Education ModelThe goal of this project is twofold: (1) to increase the interest in cybersecurityworkforce and (2) to increase the number of teachers equipped to embed the topics intheir curriculum. As such, a model shown in Figure 1 is structured to address fourcritical areas that will help us reach those goals: 1) effective academic and socialintegration [5][6], 2) appropriate financial support, 3) narrow perception of the field ofcybersecurity and available career paths, and 4) role models/mentors. The proposedmodel (Figure 1) is partly based on Tinto’s model of student integration [5] whichfocuses more on experiences the students encounter after coming to college, rather thanthose occurring prior to college. But, we have found several aspects

is a lack of literature usingengineering design in life sciences courses. Considering this lack of research and integration, ourresearch team developed curriculum materials for integrating engineering design where theexisting units of the life sciences curriculum were modified to center around a design challengeand incorporate engineering design principles. The study used teaching science and engineeringin an integrated manner to subsequently explore students’ learning outcomes and engagement(behavioral, emotional, cognitive and social). In this paper, we present the effects of thesedesigned curricula on 6th-grade students’ engagement.More specifically the study is guided by two research questions: 1) What is the relationship between the

That studywould use the data collected through the course inventory process, while also
organizations say about what mechanical engineers need toknow? NAE, CFAT, ABET, and ASME all stress an integration of technical skills but say verylittle about specific technical content. NCEES’s FE exam specifications might be the onlydocument from a national engineering organization that approaches a standard for technicalengineering curriculum content but these specifications are not a credible source on whatengineers have to know. Looking at the leanness of the ABET program criteria for ME, ASME’snon-participation in the NSPE BOK, and ASME’s statements in Vision 2030, one couldcharacterize ASME’s stance as being that almost no particular technical content matters verymuch but that it is essential for engineers to be able to solve problems and

Course to Make Informed Design DecisionsAbstractIn this complete evidence-based paper, it will be shown how computer simulations can beintroduced in a freshman mechanical engineering course and how students can use computersimulations to make informed design decisions. Freshman-level engineering students may haveinsights about the workings of mechanical systems even though they may not be versed in themathematical descriptions of such systems. The motivation for this work is three-fold: (1) allowfreshman students to apply and expand their insights into mechanical systems without the needfor mathematical descriptions which they may not yet be prepared to understand; (2) exposestudents to computer simulations at an early stage of their curriculum
