Instead of attending in lecture-based classes, the IRE students selectmost of their technical competencies based on their team projects and use the projects tofacilitate their learning. Studies have showed that this type of learning is more effective thantraditional methods 8,9.The IRE program was established in 2010 as a result of collaboration between two institutions(Itasca Community College and Minnesota State University – Mankato). The program promotesproject-based, self-directed learning, and practicing engineering professionalism. Most of theIRE projects are industry-sponsored projects; however the students are encouraged to developtheir own project ideas as well. The students form a team at the beginning of each

the least a high or low pass filter could trigger an on/off event. This can beachieved by combining the band pass filter with an AC-DC converter and a comparator thatdrives the signal to a low or high voltage for TTL control.Results The output signal from the encoder can easily be connected directly to a speaker to listento pitches created by the frequencies generated in correlation with mental activity. These pitchescan be mapped onto the music scale to show the range of notes possible. It is difficult to haveenough mental control to lock on to any single pitch in tune, but a sliding scale of sound can begenerated. Since the game’s adjustment dial changes the frequency range, two ranges of musicalnotes were measured at the extreme

Graduate school is an ideal time tobegin to learn about teaching, because the pressures are usually less than in early faculty careers.Teaching also helps graduate students to become better researchers (Feldon et al., 2011).The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL.net), a consortiumof 43 research universities (36 with BME programs) was created to address the need toimprove undergraduate STEM education, and its strategy is to enhance the preparation offuture faculty
