-forded by this system.1 BackgroundExperimentation is at the core of the scientific method. As we train students to become scientistsand engineers, it is important to also provide training in the scientific method, and a recognitionthat a reliance on empirically demonstrable, replicable results is essential to what we do. This isessential for individuals responsible for designing the cars, airplanes, cellular devices, and energysystems of the future, because these devices must function properly in the physical world. A fullhistory of the scientific method, and its role in the natural sciences is provided in [1]. Other sup-port for using experimentation as a tool for building student knowledge stems from John Dewey[2], as well as the

Communication skills are consistently among the top competency gaps between thecareer readiness of recent college graduates and employer-rated importance across all disciplines,including engineering [1]. Many studies in the literature [2,3] also pointed out that effectivecommunicative skills, and more specifically, technical writing skills are vitally important

The lab meets the following learning goals; 1) develop proficiency in using a desktop3D printer, 2) explain the impact of selected 3D print settings on dimensional accuracy andtensile strength of a shape, 3) evaluate the use of simulations in the engineering design process,and 4) use data to improve the design. The entire class of junior mechanical engineeringstudents, approximately 80 students annually, are split into teams of four to five students perteam. Collectively, the class investigates the impact of infill density (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 %) andthree print orientations on the dimensional accuracy and strength of a printed part under tensileload. Each team uses the data in conjunction with static, structural simulations to redesign

They are also examples of both active learning and collaborative learning[2] , which have been shown to increase student learning and conceptual understanding of basicconcepts (as reviewed in [2] ). Therefore, they are an important and necessary component of anyhigh-quality engineering education program.In traditional in-person engineering education, projects and labs typically utilize existinglaboratory equipment and manufacturing capabilities of the school. In recent years, however,there seems to be a growing demand to make these interactive projects and laboratories availablefor remote participants, either as a part of an online

quantities ofcomplex-shaped parts with consistent quality.The purpose of this project is to introduce students to thermoforming and drape forming. Drapeforming is a simplified version of vacuum forming where a sheet of plastic is heated to asufficiently high temperature so that it can be formed around an object. The plastic sheet can beheated in an oven and stretched over the pattern using suction or vacuum. Thin-gaugethermoforming is used to manufacture parts such as containers, cups, lids and trays while thick-gauge thermoforming is used to make plastic pallets, vehicle door and dash panels, and utilityvehicle beds.

, 2023Prioritizing learning outcomes for chemical engineering laboratory coursesAbstractChemical engineering laboratory courses allow students to work hands-on with equipment theymay see in industrial positions. These courses often account for learning outcomes related toexperimentation, teamwork, and communication skills, among others. To work towardsalignment of laboratory courses with industrial needs, it is necessary to understand 1) thelearning outcomes currently addressed in laboratory courses and 2) how key stakeholdersperceive the importance of specific laboratory learning outcomes. Therefore, three surveys weredesigned based on thirteen proposed learning outcomes for engineering laboratory courses thatwere identified in the literature [1]. The

This approach hasbeen implemented in a variety of individual courses, including introductory first-year courses[1], electronics [2], digital design [3], and communication systems [4], [5], [6]. Some authorshave reported on the use of mobile studio pedagogy in multiple courses [7], [8], and someschools have implemented the technique throughout the electrical engineering curriculum [9],[10], [11].

the classroom more interactive. This helps studentssee right away if they're doing things right or wrong so they can fix mistakes as they go.In the early 1900s, a researcher named Jean Piaget found that kids understand things better whenthey do hands-on activities instead of just hearing facts [1]. And other experts like Meyers andJones agree that learning is more effective when students are actively involved, like reading,writing, talking, solving problems, or answering questions in a thoughtful way [2].Also, many studies have shown that technology and hands-on activities can help studentsunderstand how theory connects to real-life situations in engineering projects. This kind oflearning, called experimental-centric-based instructional

Early on, it became evident that providing clear and consistentcommunication regarding roles and responsibilities was essential to ensuring students’ positiveexperience with the course. To address this, the course faculty introduced several interventionsinto the structure of the course to help improve team dynamics such as communication and workdelineation. A more thorough explanation of the design of this structure can be found in [1].These elements are intended, like scaffolding, to reside adjacent to the coursework but to supportstudents in understanding and navigating challenges should they arise [2,22,23

There has been an ongoing effort to regulate drone noise emissionsin urban and residential environments [2] – [4], where drones are becoming integral to tasksranging from videography to package delivery. The primary source of propeller noise comesfrom the vortex drag inherent to the traditional propeller design [5]. This technological issueprovides a practical challenge that engineering students can tackle during their studies. Studentsare prompted to explore the mechanism of vortex formation and alternative designs that mitigatethis issue

Laboratorycourses are simply used to support and demonstrate theoretical aspects of core engineering classes[1]. Traditionally laboratory experiments involve a step-by-step procedure with a known outcome.However, this method has proven to be effective in demonstrating a concept, it limits the student’sengagement in learning and doesn’t enhance their problem-solving skills or creativity
