While nearly all modern products containsensors, actuators, and control algorithms, the projects featured in these early design coursestypically focus on simple mechanical parts. A substantial limiting factor is the students’ lack ofexposure to fundamental electronics principles, which makes integrating basic sensors andactuators difficult. This paper describes an approach to integrating

As part of a National Science Foundation -funded project, our engineering program is exploring ways for engineering educators to do thiswithin required engineering courses. In this paper, we present an example of how content relatedto sociotechnical and global context was integrated into a required senior-level Heat Transfercourse in mechanical engineering.

Students could retry in-class quizzes, with a different question on the same topic,during a later class period or by scheduling an appointment with the instructor outside of classtime. Students could retry a quiz as often as they liked until the end of the course.

It is well known that a semester system has many advantages over a quarter system [7], [8].The benefits of a semester system are its reduced student cognitive load each week, betterstudent engagement both inside and outside the classroom, smooth student transfers, and bettertiming of students’ availability for internships and employment. Most of our students have daytime jobs, thus with the shortened contact hours each week in the semester system, there is lesslikelihood of student and faculty burnouts; and enhanced opportunities for project basedlearning, group exercises, field trips, and subdivision of projects into several phases in designoriented courses.Why is our college converting to semesters? • Aligns our academic calendar

Mechanical engineering graduates have the opportunity to join any number ofindustries, and are indeed highly sought-after for their problem solving skills and technicalbreadth.
