Mechatronics Actuator Education Platform for Active Learning CurriculumAbstractThis paper discusses the design and construction of a multi-actuator, open-source educationplatform to enhance undergraduate mechatronics laboratory curriculum experience in the topicarea of actuator technologies. Utilizing hands-on learning as the primary pedagogical approach,students gain applied knowledge in mechatronics by fostering the development of criticalengineering skills. The proposed laboratory curriculum encompasses an all-in-one mechatronicsactuator test platform for the study of fundamental actuator technologies, including a directcurrent brushed motor, stepper, and radio control servo motor that is generally taught in anundergraduate mechatronics

Experiments and Blended Learning in Engineering Education: A Framework for AssessmentAbstractThis paper presents a comprehensive framework for refining desk-scale experiments andimplementing an impactful blended learning curriculum within the realm of chemical engineeringeducation. The primary focus is on evaluating the influence of these enhancements on studentlearning outcomes and the overall success of educational transformation initiatives. The studyaddresses two central research questions. The first question centers on improving the studentunderstanding of topics related to graphical flow characterization by using a desk-scaleexperimental module. We consider critical factors such as ease of installation, safe to operate, andability to

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
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
