experiments, Froude and Reynolds number scaling isaddressed in detail, and considerable time is spent discussing laboratory safety, instrumentation,data acquisition systems, and uncertainty analysis. Students complete several homeworkassignments individually, and three standard projects, completed in teams, involving a)measurement of resistance on an underwater vehicle, b) measurement of resistance on a surfacevessel, and generation of open water curves on a propeller.Figure 3: Towing tank models used in ENH.

with creating a research project from inception.When completed, this water tunnel will serve as a tool for classroom and laboratorydemonstrations in undergraduate-level courses related to fluid mechanics, as well as a resource inperforming undergraduate research on a small scale. One of the capabilities of this device will beinterchangeable test section models. This will allow for a variety of applications to differentcourse topics and research ideas. The portability of the device will allow for use in a typicalclassroom setting rather than requiring a separate laboratory space, which should facilitate morefrequent use in demonstrations.This paper provides an overview of the primary aims of this senior design project, detailing theways in
corrective alternatives for improvement.One of the most beneficial activities has been the Summer Research Internships (called SUMREX)where students from UPRM have been able to participate in research projects in several affiliateduniversities and laboratories during the summers of 2016, 2017 and 2018. In summary a total of 19interns have taken advantage of the opportunity to do research while being paid and get to knowhow other universities and research laboratories operate. The students went to Oregon StateUniversity, University of Central Florida, Louisiana State University and the Coastal and HydraulicLaboratory
are crucial for work in laboratory,welding, ship simulators, and ship operation and maintenance, environments commonly found inlicense students’ curricula. It is interesting to consider, then, if—and by what degree—license studentsare affected by the flipped classroom format, especially as compared with their non-license engineeringstudent counterparts (“interns”).This paper aims to quantify the effects that the flipped classroom format has on license students. Thepaper achieves this by performing a difference-in-differences (DiD) [4] analysis on the students’ finalcourse letter grades in a recently flipped course in signals and systems, specifically ENGR 383 Signalsand Systems—a junior-level electrical engineering course taken by license and
and approach.Lectures, tutorials and laboratories allow students to acquire engineering knowledge, while the projectcan give them the opportunity to become a problem solver or an innovator. Projects provide severalopportunities to the students to learn aspects that are difficult to be taught in a class room or laboratory.This paper documents the experience of developing, testing and deploying an WSN energy harvestingsystem, highlighting and discussing the students’ efforts. This project was developed and completed by agroup of four students, during Spring 2017 and Fall 2017 semesters, as their senior project design.2.
