(students working in teams to compete Lego car assembly) will engage many of my students.” “The simulation is designed to represent craft production from the late 1800's. Students will be excited about its game style learning opportunities.” “Students like to get hands on with research. They will get the opportunity to use a CNC machine and cut many samples. We will then be able to collect data on those samples using a clamp-on Amp meter and a light sensor. Due to the fact that they were the ones that cut the samples, I think they will take more ownership on the data collection portion and get better results.”5. ConclusionsManufacturing simulation is an effective technique to teach the basic
fluorescence images of differentiated and non-differentiated 3T3-L1s. Images should include appropriate titles and captions. 3T3-L1 characteristics. Cell characteristics, including doubling time, morphology, adherent vs. non-adherent, etc. 3T3-L1 culture conditions. Briefly describe the growth requirements and maintenance of 3T3-L1 cells (media, BSL, etc.). You do not need to include protocols. Uses of 3T3-L1 cells. Based on your data, propose what research area(s) and experiments 3T3-L1 cells are well suited for and why.Pharmaceutical DrugIn the pharmaceutical drug module, students imagine they are working at a pharmaceuticalcompany studying a new

In addition, students are now required to earn at least 70% of the totalnumber of possible points in order to obtain a C, instead of only requiring demonstrating ofmastery. This scheme will subsequently remove the outliers observed in Figure 2.

. Perhaps the most inspired application of the UbD philosophyconcerns lean manufacturing. This set of manufacturing principles introduced by Toyota in the1970’s [15] has become very important to the industry. Graduates of this program need to bewell versed in it.After thoughtful consideration, it was decided there would be no course on “lean.” A major UbDprinciple is that all topics should somehow connect to the big ideas. Lean manufacturing iscertainly a fundamental idea and all topics in the program should in some way connect to it. Sorather than a course on lean, it was decided lean would be taught in every course.This was not haphazardly implemented. Every element of lean, from simple tools to the majorideas, were listed and then assigned to
unit(s) along with difficulty finding suitable storagelocations. In this paper, a refrigeration lab is proposed that costs less than $300, and yet may be amore useful activity for students than expensive and bulky training systems. The structure of thepaper is as follows. First, basic vapor compression cycles are reviewed, followed by a descriptionof the lab equipment and exercise. Next, sample results are provided, and finally, potentialmappings of this lab experiment to ABET student outcomes are given.Vapor Compression System AnalysisPrior to the lab exercise, it is highly recommended that students have learned the ideal and actualvapor compression system cycles.

Although it is different from most other professional learningexperiences that are available to teachers, having the teachers participate in authentic engineeringexperiences with their students and giving them time to reflect on these experiences during theworkshops, is clearly beneficial to the teachers. With the changes that are being made to the nextGEAR UP Engineering Summer camp, it is expected that the benefits of having the professionallearning experience as a part of the camp will continue and that there will be additional benefitsas a result of the improvements made to the professional learning experience.

Engineering at Quinnipiac University, only activities requiring faculty expertise, such as guidance and mentorship, are considered value-added and are performed by the faculty advisor. There are other frequently-performed advising activities, such as navigating the course management system, that do not require the expertise of a faculty member. These tasks are deemed to be non-value-added tasks when defining value from a faculty’s perspective. As such, these tasks are handled by the PM, a senior in the major. The PM meets with the student for a pre-advising session. S/he compiles an executive summary of this pre-advising session and provides it to the faculty advisor prior to the faculty advising session with the student. This

In the future, we will use this instrument tomeasure how students’ sociotechnical thinking changes from before to after the in-classintervention(s). A primary contribution of the current paper is understanding what engineeringstudents know intuitively or based on prior experiences about sociotechnical thinking. That is,this survey data provides a snapshot of students’ prior knowledge and assumptions onsociotechnical thinking and associated engineering habits of mind.

project-based learning that we use is based on problem-based learning. Each project has oneor more problems that need to be solved and often these problems can be broken down to smallerproblems that each team can address. These problems are centered around the goal(s) of eachproject. For example, a competition project may need to build a rocket that exactly reaches 5,280feet. This problem can be broken down to smaller problems such as the size of the motor, weightof the rocket, and other problems that contribute to the goal of obtaining that altitude.The projects we have involve multiple disciplines and multiple problems to be solved. With theexample of the rocket project, we have aerospace, mechanical, chemical, electrical and
