First, learning outcomesfor the course were redefined to highlight problem-solving skills, which are essentialoutcomes according to the ABET criteria. Second, a comprehensive assessment plan wascreated to measure student progress in each of the learning outcomes. Rubrics-based gradingfocuses on assessing five dimensions of student work: the solution’s efficacy, quality oftechnical writing, oral communication, completion of prototypes, and testing plans and results.Finally, the newly developed learning outcomes and assessment plan were aligned withlearning activities in the course, including design, prototyping, testing, as well as

This paper proposes a portable engine-dynamometer testcell using a one-cylinder all-terrain vehicle (ATV) engine driving a set of high-currentalternators. Engine loading is to be accomplished with a set of electric resistance heaters and apower switching array.Although associated with a large university, this project is being undertaken by a satellitecampus with limited space and financial resources. The plan is to implement the Engine-DynoProject in phases over a period of years using primarily undergraduate students working ondirected projects. The planned phases at this time are as follows: 1. Build a sturdy but portable cart to hold the engine, load cell, accessories, and

In the ruralarea, one could not assume reliable internet access was always guaranteed to everybody. Lecturescould be interrupted because of lost WIFI connections.

threeoptions are briefly described below.Option 1: Map Building & Path Planning of an Autonomous Mobile RobotThis option is an extension of Project 1 on Autonomous Mobile Robots. Project 1 is regarding path planningand waypoint navigation of a robot working in a completely known environment, i.e., all objects and theirpositions are known beforehand. The robot will find an obstacle-free path from its current position to aspecified goal location and then follow the path, as shown in Fig. 1 (c) and (d). As an extension, the objects’positions are assumed to be unknown. This requires the robot to first detect the positions of the unknownobjects using its onboard range sensors; determine the number of objects by applying certain clusteringalgorithm; and

Metacognition is “thinking about thinking,” or “knowing about knowing,”and a metacognitive student is one who is aware of his/her learning processes and who can adjustthese processes as needed [6, 14].

Tanner has done specific work in teaching biology studentsto use metacognition to plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning – all in the context of usualcourse practices, such as lecture, active learning exercises, homework assignments, and exams[16].

DOE is a great tool that can helpwith the basics of planning efficient and effective experiments and then gives a methodology for analyzingthe data obtained by such experiments. In DOE the experimenter changes controllable variables of thesystem or process and then analyzes output data to make inferences about which variables are significantand responsible for the changes observed, as shown in Figure 1 [2]. For that reason, DOE is a powerful toolwhen studying complex systems, such as heat exchangers. Figure 1: Generic

Education through the Experience-based learning.AbstractPrevious studies show that ~50% of engineering students withdraw or change to other majorsmainly due to the poor teaching and advising; the difficulty of the engineering curriculum; andmore importantly - the lack of “belonging” within engineering. Few studies link this problem tonon-engineering courses since most of their first-year courses are demanding and focusing ontopics other than engineering, such as chemistry, mathematics, and physics. To tackle suchissues, the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology (CEAT) at Oklahoma StateUniversity (OSU) is in the process of a multiyear plan to transform undergraduate education.

Many starter kits on the market do notinclude inductors, and it is recommended that one or two inductors are added to such boxed kits.Each course differs in its lab planning, so beyond the purchased kits mentioned above, someinstructors would prepare the extra parts in a small bag, while other instructors would build anextra lab kit in a case. Using such extra lab parts, the students did not have to pick up the parts atthe beginning of each lab. This practice was not only sanitary but also timesaving. Theassociated challenge, of course, is that the instructors need to decide which components to use inthese labs before the semester starts.The
