, it is likely that the majority of K-12 STEMeducators have experienced minimal opportunities to engage in scientific investigations that wouldsupport their ability to deliver STEM curriculum effectively (Wilson, et al). In response to these warnings, initiatives to improve the American education system (especiallyin STEM fields) have arisen. These initiatives have taken many forms, but perhaps most-notably areimprovements in curriculum and professional development programs for educators. These, of course,are not mutually exclusive, as advancement of curriculum calls for increased educator understand-ing of content material. The National Science Education Standards (1996) describes an effectivesecondary-level science teacher as one that is

Vertically Integrated Projects(VIP) (Strachan et al., 2019; Cullers et al., 2017), now known as, the VIP Consortium Inc. The VIPprogram is an alliance of universities from around the world including Georgia Tech., Texas A&MUniversity, Stony Brook, Purdue, University of Pretoria, South Africa, Inha University, South Korea,etc., where graduate and undergraduate students take part in long-term projects. The projects areled by faculty from the same or other schools in the consortium in a start-up company setting wherestudents apply and develop technical as well as professional skills. The VIP program, for example, isa credit-bearing course counting towards the students’ degrees, which makes the VIP, essentially,a modified version of the second

discussed instructional videos showed students relied heavily on them for review prior to as-sessments (Bakrania and Haas, 2019). Both the instructional effectiveness study and the studentfeedback support the switch to property charts. The switch away from the steam tables imposesminimal instructional load with an appreciable gain in student learning outcomes. The instructionalimplementation combined with the resources presented here provide a strong foundation for abroader change in curriculum that is better aligned with the needs of the engineering profession.Specifically, more emphasis on the broader concepts that develop engineering intuition and less onthe exact property values that are abundantly available

Advances in Engineering Education SUMMER 2020 VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2A Temperature Control Project that Facilitates Learningof Difficult Concepts in Control TheoryJIANCHU YAOEast Carolina UniversityGreenville, NC ABSTRACT This paper presents a design project and its assessment in an undergraduate control theorycourse. In the project, students mathematically modeled the thermal dynamics of a glass incubatorand its heat source. Based on these models, they designed a lag compensator to keep the incuba-tor temperature in a safe range when the external temperature fluctuates. It is hypothesized thatactivities planned in this real-world project can facilitate the

Conclusions. By integrating human-centered design and the SDGs into engineering curricula andtargeting communities that work with women and girls, we believe the Ignite program can impactthree of the SDGs – renewable energy, quality education, and gender equality.Key words: Multidisciplinary design; international programs; technology applications INTRODUCTION In a display of global unity, all 193 countries

ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION A Learning Model Proposal Focused on Challenge-Based Learning This set of changes that are occurring in the business, social and economic environment, requiresattention from academics and also entrepreneurs, since real problems are generated continuouslyand demand attention of many professionals, including engineers. These scenarios not only demandthe technical approach in engineering training, but, as several studies have shown, it is also neededthe development of non-technical skills among students, which includes attitudes, soft capabilitiesand values, integrated altogether with technical knowledge and skills. This will allow an engineer tofunction effectively in different contexts (Zah and
