kinetics. Without sufficient time on task andopportunities to visual and ponder concepts, students can develop weak understanding of thefundamentals and have difficulty applying their understanding to the analysis of athermodynamic system. Traditional textbooks and classroom lectures are insufficient in and ofthemselves for students to master thermodynamics concepts. For these reasons and theportability and accessibility of software, computer modules were selected as a potentiallyengaging way to provide students with enhanced learning opportunities.Bloom’s revised taxonomy categorizes learning into two dimensions, knowledge and cognitiveprocesses (Anderson and Krathwohl 2001). The knowledge dimension consists of factual,conceptual, procedural, and

that students be prepared for engineering practice through a major designexperience. This design experience must be based on the knowledge and skills mastered in thecurriculum and is expected to incorporate appropriate engineering standards and multiplerealistic constraints9. To meet this requirement, most programs require a “capstone designexperience” that challenges students to develop a device or product for a diverse group ofpotential users. Capstone design experiences that focus on designing for individuals with adisability have emerged as a powerful tool for educating and raising awareness amongengineering students about disability while reinforcing important technical skills.To assist students in developing products that rely heavily on

students who can do really well, but without the scholarship, would be forced to spend a significant amount of time working a part-time outside job. This extra time generally causes the students to be unable to study as much as necessary to truly learn and master the material.

,which allowed the course to be offered even before students mastered the more theoreticalsenior-level prerequisites. Therefore, these theoretical courses are no longer prerequisite forwireless communications, allowing students to choose to take it their junior year, prior to themore theoretical courses, or their senior year, after taking them. The more flexible scheduling ofthis newly designed course meets the preferences of students who prefer applications first, as amotivation for later theory, or of those who prefer theory first, before applying the theory thatthey have already learned in previous courses.References 1.

into Python and C++ as the languages of choice for the course.Students come to this particular course with the background of two courses: one course in C++and another course in Embedded System Design with Arduino. However, for this course, Pythonis utilized due to its compatibility and ease of use with the Adafruit BeagleBone Pythonlibrary,[13] which can handle GPIO, PWM, ADC, I2C, SPI and UART. This in a nutshell servesall of our class’ experimental needs.About ¼ of the time is dedicated to learning and mastering Python language.

], there remain challenges associated with studentengagement that has led to less STEM graduates in recent years. Therefore, it has becomenecessary to address student engagement by fully immersing learners in real world context todevelop more challenging examples that relate their coursework to real life experiences [4].Another concerning fact is that between 400 to 800 Million of today’s jobs will be automated by2030 [5], which means that technology will become a vital tool that students must master. USDepartment of Commerce projects that 40% of existing jobs are in danger of shifting toautomation within 10 Years [6]. It is imminent that educators realize that the timewornpedagogies do not encourage student engagement, nor prepare for their
their names, and when possible, reference them duringlectures or outside the classroom. This communication approach is beneficial to both parties as itnurtures relationships and establishes a sense of community, or bond, within the class.Strategy 4. Pose Non-intuitive Questions that Spark CuriosityA preeminent duty of an engineering educator is to capture students’ attention during lecturesessions and spark interest in specific themes or disciplines. This responsibility, however, cannoteffectuate by simply mastering the technical content delineated during lecture sessions. It requiresimplementing effective pedagogical techniques when disseminating technical content that willextract the inquisitiveness about certain themes. As such, the authors
occupied with alternative activities while the struggling studentsreceived the necessary assistance to progress. Students have remained engaged during the campand have been able to master the concepts to make basic electro-optical system in just a fewshort days (a total of 16 hours of instructional time). The size of the camp could be scaled up, butteaching assistants would need added for balance. To give students a deeper experience thecamp could be extended to a fifth day or increase the amount of time in each day. Thiscurriculum is adaptable and can be scaled down or drawn out depending on needs and resources.References[1] “The Global Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Systems Market 2018-2028: CAGR is Projected to Grow at 2.98
