showcase several student projects and someof the design. These projects indicate that students’ critical-thinking ability and creativity can begreatly increased when given the freedom to develop their own signature-thinking projects.1. IntroductionMiddle Tennessee State University (MTSU) offers an ABET Engineering AccreditationCommission (EAC) accredited mechatronics engineering program, in which students learn bothelectrical and mechanical engineering course materials. Digital Circuits Fundamentals is one ofthe required electrical courses in the curriculum, typically taught in the junior year. Theprerequisites of this course are Computer Science I and Electrical Circuit Analysis I. It is theprerequisite of two other courses: Programmable Logic

. Additionally, coverage of heat exchangers, refrigeration and air conditioning isincluded. As this course is required for a very wide range of students with varied backgroundsrelated to the principles being presented, the effective incorporation of lab exercises within thecourse curriculum is paramount to the understanding of concepts for students. The fluid flowtrainer presented herein was developed to improve the “Principles of Propulsion” course for non-engineering majors at the United States Naval Academy, however the ability of professors andinstructors to demonstrate key fluid flow principles with the trainer, in an engaging manner andwith a unique flow path arrangement, will benefit engineering majors as well. The value of hands-on

innovations are clear to theirintended audience [6]. In other words, the technical specifications and capabilities of aninnovation must be communicated in a way that explains and justifies its use. One method ofcommunication is through a pitch, a brief speech that encapsulates the value of an innovation. Inpractice, pitches take on many forms and are dependent on the allotted timeframe, audience, andoverall purpose (i.e., what is being asked of the audience).Though there are examples of embedding entrepreneurial mindset into undergraduateengineering education, both in Bioengineering (from introductory courses [7] to capstone design[8]) as well as other technical fields such as computing [9], it is not well integrated into manyexperiential learning

(CATIER) at Morgan State Universit ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Breaking Barriers: Promoting Motivation, Engagement, and Learning Success among Biology Undergraduates from Minority BackgroundsAbstractThis research presents an in-depth exploration of the transformative potential of hands-onlearning (which would be used interchangeably with the term ECP-Experiment CentricPedagogy) in the domain of biology education, with a focus on student engagement andacademic achievement. Over three semesters, students enrolled in three biology courses (BIO103, BIO 201, and BIO 202) participated in a hands-on learning approach that integrated varioushands-on activities and experiments. In parallel

We included courses from three engineering disciplines (civil,electrical, and mechanical) with one general engineering curriculum. All courses are 2nd yearengineering labs, except MECH 309, which is offered in the 3rd year. CE 376 is offered in the2nd year.Table 1 provides information regarding the major of the courses being analyzed, along with thename of the course, the institution, the term and year in which it was offered, and the number of

assembling the spectrometer box, six 5mm ~3.0 V whiteLEDs were inserted into the LED Bracket. The holes of the LED bracket were angled inward at~18.2 degrees so that each LED right and left pairs’ illumination would overlap at a distance of ~6cm, coinciding with the distance of the cuvette.
