innovative pedagogies that can help enhancethe employability of students. In response to this need, an exploratory study was conducted at asatellite campus of a large, Midwestern research-focused university. The intervention includedthe implementation of an entrepreneurially minded and communication-focused project,developed by the instructor of an upper-level undergraduate manufacturing course. Post-completion of the project, a metacognitive reflection assignment was administered to theparticipants and subsequently, data was collected. Participant responses were qualitativelyanalyzed using thematic analysis which led to the discovery of three themes: (1) identifyingvalue in nature-inspired design, (2) confidence in communication and self-expression

and deliverables of the project are clearlystated in advance to keep students informed. The objective of this project is to incorporateIndustry 4.0 skills and knowledge to the students in addition to learn the methods to stay currentin industry. The project deliverables are (1) students will present their work to the rest of theclass, and (2) submit a reflective paper on their experience. This paper will discuss the setup ofresearch problems, survey results of the student experience before and after working on theproject, and summary of findings on the student experience from the reflective papers. Reflectivepapers serve as a tool both to summarize the student experience and for continuous improvementin the context of this project and future

The inverter wasconfigured to operate off-grid and produce a 120 Volts AC output connected to the ACdisconnect box, as well as a 50 Volt DC output that charged the battery bank. Thedisconnect box fed the power distribution box which fed the load and 24-volt sourcesthat powered the LIMS box and all the sensors. Although the connection of the sensorsto the LIMS box is straightforward, care must be taken to ensure that the sensors werewired correctly using the appropriate load resistor.Once the sensors were connected, the LIMS “engine” was configured and data wassuccessfully collected reflecting the use of voltage, current and temperature from theload.

Focus of theresearch was on innovative bio-inspired design that is backed by scientific evidence and the useof arts to convey the design. The students then expressed their opinions on their design projectusing a photovoice reflection of their learning. Student responses to the photovoice reflectionprompts related to the design were qualitatively categorized under three themes: 1)demonstrating the importance of entrepreneurial thinking from the end user’s perspective 2)stressing the importance of teamwork and communication and 3) using

] focuses on assessing student learning and experience to ascertainwhether students have acquired the skills, knowledge, and competencies related to their programof study. The ET department faculty use a combination of direct and indirect methods forassessment and evaluation of the SOs. The results and findings of these evaluations aresystematically utilized as input for the program’s CI actions[1], [13]. Direct methods requirestudents to exhibit their knowledge and skills as they respond to the instrument itself. Objectivetests, projects, laboratory work, presentations, and classroom assignments all meet this criterion[14]. Indirect methods such as surveys and interviews require students to reflect on their learningrather than to display it [12

methods.The assessment results from a student self-reflection survey for exposing vibration and modalanalysis support the need to expose mechanical engineering technology students to theseconcepts. Student responses to open ended questions indicate they are able to grasp someconcepts of vibration analysis using FEA as an analysis tool.IntroductionIt is understood that undesirable vibrations in mechanical structures can potentially lead toexcessive deflections and system failures. When the natural frequency of vibration of a structurecoincides with the natural frequency of excitation, resonance occurs, leading to excessivedisplacements [1]. These excessive displacements can cause an annoying oscillation in minorcases or can cause catastrophic failures

The themeswere then reviewed to ensure they accurately reflected the data and were supported by theparticipants' responses. This mixed-methods approach provided a comprehensive understandingof student perspectives, and the results were used to develop recommendations to enhance theonline learning experience for engineering students.ResultsThe questionnaire was administered to 15 students enrolled in the Principles of Surveyingengineering course, and the results are presented below.Question 1 indicated that 80% of participants

This activity remains relevant because the calculations are reflected inlaboratory measurements with the VAWT.AssignmentsThe activity spans five weeks. A problem set is completed once a week in class and part of thatproblem set is a simple series circuit, the model for the VAWT. The lab component meets once aweek, and this is where concepts are reinforced. It is not unusual for some students, usually thosewith no prior experience, to find the circuit analysis problem so different that they react bydisengaging and deciding it is not worth their time

Storytelling, throughwhich students share specific work or school situations that might represent a wide variety ofethical concerns [9] also constitutes ways to enhance and to extend the ethics learning outside atypical classroom setting.The integration of informal peer assessments provides additional opportunities for students toengage with academic content vicariously and to learn from their peers’ stories.

are not explainedby a single theory [1, 8]. One solution that may help resolve these concerns about computernetwork education would be the use of computer network simulations [9]. Computer networksimulation is the imitation of real-world network communication scenarios using the software.The purpose of this simulation software is to reflect the quality of a given network designthrough the analysis of the performance of the simulation [7, 10]. Since computer networksimulation is a tool that is used regularly in the professional setting of network design andresearch, it would make sense that it would also be useful for educational purposes [9].
