This case study of student writing in an engineeringmaterial laboratory course was conducted to study the effect of various pedagogical tools onstudents’ lab report scores and their perspectives on writing. Data collected in student surveysand a focus group show that students found one-on-one sessions reinforced their learning fromfirst-year composition courses, identified the expectations of the lab report as a genre, anddeveloped their understanding of the rhetorical features of writing in the discipline ofengineering.1.

A CDIO-based Social Manufacturing Laboratory(CDIO-SML) that integrates 3D printing techniques for additive manufacturing ande-commerce for marketing has been developed and described in this paper. The lab consistsof five platforms for 1) teaching integration, 2) requirement acquisition, 3) interactive designand innovation, 4) manufacturing and production processes, 5) cyberspace-based marketingand operations. These five platforms facilitate product development from the requirement,design, manufacturing, marketing, to services.

Many studentschoose engineering because they want to learn how to design and build the solutions oftomorrow, yet they often do not have dedicated opportunities to expand their hands-on skill setwithin the engineering curriculum. Sadly, traditional curricular instruction in engineering is suchthat students spend the bulk of their first three years learning theory, and relatively little timecontextualizing

Students have to learn how to integrate themotion control and sensing capability so that the robot can estimate the surrounding environmentand avoid bumping into any obstacle while moving around, as well as collecting and processingthe information about its ambient environment. Furthermore, students have to learn how to setthe light sensor so the robot can tell whether the light is on or not. Finally, the communicationabout how to send back the sensed information which is readable is another task for students tofigure out. In this case students will learn Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communication protocols. Theproject is based on LEGO Mindstorms Kit for its flexibility and scalability [1]. This unit does notend here.
