especially important since they havethis huge distraction of a computer in front of them.One way to engage the student is using in-class assignments and exercises. We refer to these as“in-class labs” to convey the laboratory nature of these exercises. Essentially, the course revolvesaround the labs and there is very little formal lecture time. There is the occasional introductionto a modeling topic that will take 5-10 or so minutes of time, but even those are punctuated withexamples that the students should or could implement and run. Lecture is more spontaneoussince they arise from “teaching moments” which are instances during class when students realizethey have a problem and now some commentary from the instructor is needed. At those times

the weekly directed laboratory assignments as well as the quarter-long project.As part of the course, students were required to purchase their own Arduino board and afew other parts. This is a departure from the way this course has been run in the past inour department, where the school maintained a set of microcontrollers that were onlyavailable during the laboratory sessions. However, due to the desire to incorporate aquarter-long project and potentially longer laboratory assignments, restricting the use ofthe Arduino boards to laboratory sessions was not feasible, so students were required topurchase their own boards. Costs were kept in line with previous iterations of the courseby requiring a much cheaper textbook, however.The following

Simulation of the Thermal Method for Nondestructive TestingIntroductionThe thermal nondestructive testing (TNDT) method is widely used for inspection of industrialparts and components. The method involves heating the object and subsequently measuringthe temperature of its surface. This change in temperature provides information about the testobject’s structure. The surface temperature changes if the discontinuity exists inside theobject.The laboratory training allows students to understand the fundamental processes, which takeplace during the TNDT procedure. Students are able to simulate this procedure use FEMLABsoftware package. This interactive software package is based on application of partialdifferential equations for

Page 12.941.3Traditional engineering classrooms, however, are technologically unequipped to teach thecomputer skills required by industry10. This is primarily a result of limited lecture time. In thetraditional classroom model, the instructor’s lecture time is limited to teaching mathematics andtheoretical concepts. It is common for students to learn computer skills on their own, or withinthe framework of a laboratory assignment outside
studentscan either choose correct combinations by analytical means based on gear train theory or by trialand error by attempting to assemble different combinations in the virtual environment.This laboratory exercise was administered to 35 mechanical engineering students, who weredivided into groups of 2 or 3. The detailed procedure of this laboratory exercise and the learningeffectiveness of the laboratory exercise were discussed in detail previously25.Here, the focus is on the process of the students performing the assembly in the virtualenvironment. From the student activities in the laboratory, it was observed that all groups wereable to complete the assembly (with the help of a teaching assistant). Also, it was noticed thatmost groups followed

One of the uniqueaspects of this project was the involvement and collaboration of a graduating senior student aswell as a freshman student during construction and application of the robot. This arrangementwas intended to provide an opportunity for peer teaching and learning. The construction andoperation of an advanced walking robot was intended to display the
project proposals and the projects that they produce?Literature ReviewAs far back as 1998 researchers such as Edelson were conceptualizing authentic science practices2. Roughlyten years later, the researchers contend, “that laboratory-based school science teaching needs to becomplemented by … learning that draws on the actual world3.” This is authentic science practice3.Recently, researchers are showing that authentic STEM experiences4 include creating questions,investigating – which includes failure - and disseminating results to the community5. The majority of thetime at the university level, undergraduate research experiences are considered authentic scienceexperiences6. There is a large body of research on undergraduate research experiences7
