These are typically taken by mechanical engineersin the Fall and Spring their junior year, respectively, and are among the most challenging theyface based on historic passing rates and end-of-semester testimonials. ME 370 focuses onbuilding upon Mechanics of Materials and Statics from their sophomore year and applying thoseideas to relatively simple design and analysis scenarios. Often students struggle applying theprerequisites either because they have forgotten what they learned or never mastered the topics

skills (labs), no points are awarded forattendance, homework, or participating in clicker questions. Homework was still assigned, and itwas communicated to students that they were expected to complete their homework to the best oftheir ability by the due date each week. However, instead of awarding points, the instructorreviewed and provided feedback on each assignment. The instructor could look for errors at theindividual or class level and provide feedback to individual students or review common mistakesand errors in class. Just as athletes have practice before the game, the students could use thehomework assignments to show what skills they had mastered and what skills need more work.Because students are not penalized for skipping a question

and large systems that expands to a broad range of EEfields. In order to promote undergraduate students’ interest and competence in CPS/IoT fields, acoherent and coordinated sequence of courses must be developed with appropriate breadth anddepth. The basic engineering principle, “divide and conquer” strategy 15, 16, is applied to addressthe complexity of the problems involved in CPS/IoT. The students are first motivated andintroduced with the big picture of CPS/IoT systems and their applications. Then thedecomposition of the systems into different EE subject fields and the connection of eachcomponent are explained. After that, the students master each small task in correspondingcourses with the reinforcement of the big picture and the

of theprojects far exceeded what would be possible on a traditional exam.The student evaluations for both Biomaterials and BME labs suggested that the students were notunhappy with a large project in place of exams despite the fact that the hours spent were likely inexcess of what they would have spent studying for exams. Most notably, student ranking of theirown learning was a full point higher than it had been in the previous year in BME labs and thehighest that it had ever been in biomaterials with no significant changes beyond the final project(Figure 2). This is possibly due to the fact during traditional final exams, the assessment is purelysummative; students either have or have not mastered the content in the assessment related to

Techniques such as set-point command,master/slave axes coordination, ratio following, electronic gearing and camming are introduced.Typical industrial applications including spool winding, flying saw, rotating knife and webtension control are discussed.2.1 Research projectA research project is used as a way to bring the “big picture” of automation into the course. Thisexercise is different than a typical technical research project a graduate student might conduct. Itis rather about finding information on specific technologies, trends or policies to answer thequestions on the assignment. The goal is to create interactive lectures to discuss emergingtechnologies that can be used in automation as well
