Aroundthen, we also presented a paper [1] that compared a computer architecture course implemented asa traditional lecture and as a badge-based course to see if the grade distribution would besignificantly different. Our comparison showed that the grade distributions were similar for bothlecture and badge-based course structures.A badge-based course provides the learner with a set of badges that can be worked on anddemonstrated (assessed) to provide evidence of mastery of a specific set of skills. The idea ofgetting badges aligns with mastery-based teaching or specification grading where the learnerdemonstrates a capability and achieves the “badge”, “masters” the topic, or “meets” thespecification

Grading In Introductory Physics Laboratory CoursesAbstract Introductory physics laboratory courses are often among the first few laboratory coursesthat all students in engineering discipline take. The learning objectives of introductory physicslab courses, such as understanding experimental error and measurement uncertainty, are thefoundation to the more sophisticated laboratory oriented courses in the junior and senior levelengineering curriculum. However, as nearly all physics lab instructors can attest, many studentsfail to master certain lab skills that are related to understanding experimental error andmeasurement uncertainty, such as error analysis, linear regression, and reporting measurementsresults with appropriate uncertainty

On the master arm position sensors were installed. On the slave arm servo motors wereinstalled. The microcontroller monitored the positions sensors in the master arm and drove theservo motors in the slave arm according to the position sensor readings. The slave arm faithfullyduplicated the motions of the master arm

Specifically, these include increased technical, policy and regulatory skills;expanded professional skills; the ability to identify opportunities for improvement; and theability to work effectively in a globally connected and interdisciplinary work environment. Toaddress the increasing demand for engineering professionals to have advanced education, PennState University developed a new Master of Engineering degree to prepare STEM professionalswho are versed in policy and law systems and the way emerging technologies interact with andenter these systems. The Master of Engineering degree in engineering, law, and policy (MELP)will enhance the key attributes of an engineer: solidly grounded, technically

An ESP-32, a Low-cost, Low-Power system-on-a-chip L-PSoC microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth, was used to turnthe ISO-UART connection to the master board into a Wi-Fi connection. This conversion ofconnection type is the basis of what is now a wireless D-BMS, and all data was then transferred toa MATLAB script for data to be visualized and analyzed. As an instructional project, the D-BMSsystem incorporates knowledge of battery management, distributed computing, and wirelesscommunication.IntroductionBattery Management Systems (BMS) play a critical role in the

During the present crisis of COVID-19 and in the post-COVID-19scenario thereafter in engineering education, when online instructions are rapidly replacing in-presencelectures at the undergraduate level, mastery learning is even more important in order to avoidprofessional limitations, and in the long run of lifelong learning, professional obsolescence.Key words: concentration, COVID-19, online instructions and lab experiments, academic counselling vs.mentoring.IntroductionIn one of the Indian epics, Mahabharata [1], the master archer, Drona, was teaching

It is therefore very favorable to prototyping underlimited resources in time and facilities.

To master the subject means,according to the analysis in this article, to be skilled in applying the subject rather than havingvast knowledge. The mechatronics engineers therefore tend to work as an
