-on ActivitiesIn order to support the DEEA program as well as other similar programs at STC, andUTPA, CBI with hands-on activities were developed and implemented to encouragestudents to integrate and understand multidisciplinary concepts through new instructionapproaches. Introduction to STEM was implemented as one of the initial steps in thisproject to use CBI with hands-on activities in early STEM career courses. CBI is aresearch proven methodology that provides students with an interactive approach inlearning and understanding new concepts . The literature indicates that hands-onactivities are required to promote STEM interest as a career path. These hands-onactivities also allow students to develop abilities and apply concepts and

Additional detail on the on-ground version of the coursecan be found in [2]. This high level of in-person, active learning posed the biggest challenge totranslate to the MOOC. Therefore, in addition to reaping the benefit of modularization forportability, there was also a strong focus and intent on making

These include thecapstone design courses that are an integral part of each departmental curriculum, the seniorproject and thesis requirements for students, and the individual interests and efforts of bothstudents and faculty. In the current nascent stage of the PBLI there are a range of activitiesacross the spectrum of departments. Unit requirements for the capstone design experience rangefrom 4 to 9 quarter units, senior projects are occasionally integrated with capstone design, butmany are stand-alone classes or individual study experiences. Single student experiences are thenorm, with a few departments offering “interdisciplinary” experiences. Projects range frominstructor selected activities across an entire course

In terms of technical goals, the car needed to follow any type of line onindoor and outdoor tracks and perform different workouts, such as steady-state runs or intervaltraining. To situate the line on the track, the research team used infrared reflectivephototransistors to design sensing and control algorithms. An Arduino microcontroller was usedto interact with the sensors, manage the electronics, and encode a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller4.This research experience was a unique opportunity for the student during the summer before hisjunior year.

The plane had been securely attached to a mounting plate, and the task, for UT Tylerstudents, was to design a safe support structure that would attach to the mounting plate. Tosimulate this ideal attachment of the mounting plate a “tie” command was used. This ideal tiefurther focused the study of the FE analysis on the pole structure itself. Furthermore, since it wasestablished that the pole structure would be supported by a sturdy concrete foundation, thedecision was made to incarcerate the bottom of the pole. For an aesthetically pleasing look, theplane would be supported at a 15-degree tilt. This tilt will cause a change in center of gravity,thereby affecting the force distribution onto the
