programming is an integral part of being an engineer and has provided a means ofperforming analysis that would be cumbersome to complete analytically. In Fall 2022, a set ofprojects were developed for a junior level dynamics course. In prior offerings of this course, thetypical dynamics theory was covered and assessed using textbook assigned problems and exams.The developed projects required the students to recollect their knowledge of MATLABprograming from their programming class taught during their first year and apply those skills tosolve systems over a specified time instance. In this paper, the three projects developed arepresented. Subsequently, the assessment of the students’ performance with respect to the desiredlearning outcomes is

I had used reference managers foryears, but each had limitations such as cost, portability, and searching. All the referencemanagers are great for what they were designed to do: collect information into a database tocreate citations. Beyond that they vary in their features for notetaking, highlighting articles, etc.After conducting research at three different institutions with licenses for three different

You might discuss some researchyour students have done recently, and how it fits into the material they are studying in the course.As one of our respondents puts it, Sharing how your research fits in the goals of the course is very important.

Students prior to the 2021-22 academic year wouldhave used their kits as part of remote courses, and not had access to traditional benchtopequipment, both of which might affect their perceptions of individual lab kits.The survey catalogued the types of activities that the student had engaged in with the M2K (labexercises, post-lab exercises, homework, projects both personal and for other classes).

This integration can be achieved through various methods, including dedicatedlectures, discussions, and project work that emphasize ethical decision-making in engineeringpractice.
