This course was initiallytaught in a lecture hall and a series of satellite labs, centered around the space used for a unitoperations courses. Due to the first-year course’s success in achieving learning outcomes and itspositive reception by students, we have been able to design and build a combined laboratory,instructional, and maker space specifically meant to facilitate early- and mid-curriculum hands-on project-based learning.

programs at the seniorlevel. In addition, expensive and specialized optical equipment is typically not available for labsessions. This raises the demand for non-specialized engineering schools to develop effectiveeducational approaches for Optics and Photonics. At our engineering school, which is locatedwithin a very-high-research institution in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast region of the U.S., there isone standalone senior-level optics/photonics elective course in which not all chapters from thestandard optics textbook can be covered in a single semester. Thus, what does a school such asours do to maximize undergraduate education in the growing and important area of optics andphotonics?To investigate this challenge within our school of engineering

Students came from eightuniversities and community colleges from across the state.A significant percentage of cybersecurity jobs require security clearances. This requirement isespecially pronounced in the mid-Atlantic region: a recent survey shows that in the GreaterWashington DC area 9% of job postings require clearance [19]. Many of our industry andgovernment partners list as one of their top workforce priorities to recruit clearable, qualifiedcandidates. While we cannot directly sponsor, nor provide a student’s clearance, we can ensurethat students are informed about what a security clearance is, what the

As part of a larger post-semester survey,researchers at a mid-Atlantic university administered Fisher and Peterson's Adaptive ExpertiseBeliefs survey [1] to students enrolled in two sections of a senior design capstone course.Instructors taught one section of the course using methods based on the principles of adaptiveexpertise, while the other course section involved the use of the traditional lecture-based methodof instruction. Results indicated a significant difference in overall adaptive expertise beliefscores. However, researchers did not find significant differences between the two groups on anyof the individual Fisher and

It is expected that with the development of these skills, higherretention rates of non-calculus ready students could be achieved.Development of the Course:A study has been conducted in an academic institution in the mid-Atlantic region. Participantswere first year engineering students that were non-calculus ready at the time of enrollment in thestudy. This study was reviewed and approved by the WVU-Institutional Review Board.Course Schedule: The course was developed using the CDIO (conceive, design, implement,operate) educational framework and includes activities that promote students’ problem solvingskills, and introduce students to research, experimentation, and engineering design [8-11].
