The former work identified a lack of UO-specific active learningactivities that could be easily integrated into a course, and the latter identified that riskassessment and hazard identification were not only highly relevant to UO courses but wereinadequately covered or not taught at all at the six institutions. Furthermore, the authors couldfind no data that quantified the frequency of incidents, near-misses, or positive observationswithin a UO laboratory course. This kind of data is commonly collected in industrial settings tohelp

Paper ID #30769Transforming an Engineering Design Course into an Engaging LearningExperience using ePortfoliosMiss Taylor Tucker, University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign Taylor Tucker graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor’s degree in engineering mechanics and is now pursuing a master’s in Curriculum and Instruction through the Digital Environments for Learning, Teaching, and Agency (DELTA) program. She is interested in engineering design and lends her technical background to her research with the Collaborative Learning Lab, exploring how to improve ill-structured tasks for
applying knowledge as students use the iterative,engineering design process when creating a product or prototype [7].Because engineering prototyping and problem solving require advanced cognition during rapidanalysis, synthesis, and evaluation of an evolving design, undergraduate BME curriculagenerally include laboratory and project components aimed at preparing students for seniorcapstone. However, students may begin capstone without the knowledge, skills, and confidencerequired for engineering design success. With these shortcomings in mind, we integrated designexperiences across our undergraduate BME curriculum and evaluated student designperformance and self-reported confidence toward design throughout. The design experiencesdeveloped
MechanicsAbstractComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool for the solution and analysisof fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems over the past few decades. CFD simulation canprovide valuable insight into fluid flow behavior and proven to be a feasible tool for modelingcomplex fluid flow phenomena with a better understanding of the flow characteristics. CFDanalysis uses physical laws to provide solutions for fluid flow problems in the form of partialdifferential equations. The undergraduate fluid mechanics curriculum is primarily based onanalytical fluid mechanics (AFD) where students are required to solve problems usingconservation of mass, momentum and energy equations. Solutions of differential and integralequations required for analysis of

In an effort to educate future civilengineering graduates from CGA on the global impacts of climate change, an elective course,Coastal Resiliency was introduced into the curriculum. The objective of the course is to provideexposure to the impacts of climate change and foster a general understanding of the analyticaland adaptation methods used to improve the resiliency of civil engineering infrastructure.Several pedagogical tools such as videos, role-playing, case studies and project-based learningare used to foster student learning of the key principles and concepts.

The DFW rates were also decreased in all semesters in all thetargeted STEM gateway courses in this study. Based upon the success and lessons learned, ourfuture work will expand and test the interventions in more gateway courses across STEMdisciplines at AAMU, to enhance the minority student success, retention and graduation.1. IntroductionSTEM education is the gateway to prosperity for our ever-evolving technology-dependentsociety in the 21st century. To succeed in an increasingly integrated global, innovative-driven,and “labor-polarized” economy, the future prosperity of the U.S. depends in
manufacturing employers’ desired workercompetencies. Similar work has been conducted in Florida in relation to AM technicians [19] –[23]. These studies concluded that the gap between employer needs, curriculum content, and newprofessionals’ actual job responsibilities was significant and that economic development dependson an alignment between all stakeholders.2. How should South Korea adjust or transform their education system to prepare people forIndustry 4.0 and beyond?Policymakers agree that a fourth global industrial revolution [2], [24] is underway and that thistransformation affects many manufacturing industry sectors. However, the breadth of thesechanges is difficult to predict in a fast-moving environment in which stakeholders may not agreeon

portability, tracking/reminding capability, safety, and easy to use.We then estimated the frequency and novelty of these key attributes appearing in each designidea and converted each of them to a 5-point scale. Finally, we calculated a composite score foruser-centered innovation potential by multiplying the scales on feasibility, desirability andnovelty.We believe this study has added value to improving our understanding of user-centeredinnovation potential in an undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum. With furtherdevelopment and scaled-up validation, we may be able to use the instrument to provide insightsinto developing teaching interventions for stimulating user-centered innovative potentials amongbiomedical

Paper ID #29239Aligning the chemical engineering curriculum to a common problem-solvingstrategyProf. Nicolas Hudon, Queen’s University Dr Nicolas Hudon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Queen’s Uni- versity (Canada) since 2016. His teaching activities are mainly concerned with second-year fundamental courses. He is the recipient of the 2019 Carolyn Small Award for teaching innovation from the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Engineering at Queen’s University.Dr. Louise Meunier P.Eng., Queen’s University Dr. Meunier studied mechanical engineering and worked for twenty years as an
engineering course typically taken inthe third year of the civil and environmental engineering undergraduate curriculum. This courseis an introductory-level course to the field of environmental engineering, which covers topics,such as solid and hazardous waste management, air pollution, and sustainability and greenengineering. The EHMs were developed for and integrated into this course during the Spring2019 and Fall 2019 semesters. These EHMs would allow students to explore variousenvironmental issues present in our society through learning about historical events that resultedin major environmental laws and regulations, growth of waste management technologies aroundthe world, and engineering advances in sustainable and green engineering practices
World Prosthetics, dedicated to creating low-cost prostheticand assistive devices [14]. It is an integral component of the recently implementeddevelopment engineering doctoral courses at UC-Berkeley [15]. Finally, the capstone course ofthe software engineering program at Lappeenranta University in Finland incorporates thedesign process structure [16]. In all cases, use of the design process has resulted in increasedstudent engagement. However, a closer look at these examples and others suggests that thedesign process is most commonly found in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses with asmall enrollment. Given this, we wondered to what extent the design process is transferable tointroductory courses that enroll close to two hundred students
throughout the course and are always in the workspace to aidin learning.The combination of new project integration and an influx of resources has had a positive effecton not only the grades and retention rates of the department, but on the passion new engineeringstudents hold for their work.Goals of the CourseThe Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Course consists of a lab and lecture.The lecture focuses on preparing students for future classes while also giving them a wideexposure to the various subcategories of Mechanical Engineering. The lab focuses on learningthree skills: Solidworks, Arduino, and Engineering Design through a team-oriented designproject. The first week of lab students choose their project of interest and form teamsaccordingly
even feed pets and play with them while their owners are at work or out of town.As the demand for skilled designers is increasing in the industry, it is not a surprise that the IoT-related courses started to emerge in the ID curriculums. The interconnectivity of products isbecoming a standard in the product development process rather than an option; consequently,companies look for designers who can conceptualize such products.This paper asks the vital question, perhaps as a self-criticizing way: “Are we ready to address thedemand when potential employers ask for a new breed of designers who are capable of designinginterconnected products?”The authors of this paper investigated this question by conducting mixed methodology researchwith ID

distinguishes expert from novice engineers. Forexample, first-year engineering students who spent more time selecting among alternativesproduced design solutions of higher quality in think-aloud design tasks [12]. Efficient designersfrequently looped through various design stages—gathering information, developing prototypes,and implementation, instead of using a linear process [13].In sum, evaluating among alternatives is integral to engineering design decisions. Thus, wefollow Atman et al. [12] and conceptualize design decision as opting for an idea or solutionamong alternatives, after a period of brainstorming ideas, modeling solutions, analyzingfeasibility, and evaluation.
