assessed students via a combination of computer laboratory assignments, projects, quizzes,midterm examinations, and a final examination. A significant disadvantage to that evaluativemodel was that students were required to hand-write their responses to computer programmingprompts on the midterm exams, and – depending on the instructor – sometimes also the finalexamination. This study therefore also set out to discover a more appropriate evaluative technique.A Brief Review of the LiteratureIt has been found that active learning can help students to better learn course content in theirscience courses1. Some authors2 have found that “flipping” classrooms can be an effective teachingstrategy. Online learning has been noted as being able to make

Some instructors use visualization tools such as MATLAB toimprove students’ learning in class and assigns software-based projects to enrich the interpretationof fundamentals of electromagnetics [5]. While simulations are helpful to explain theories, studiesshowed that students who can create and analyze simulations, already have a good understandingof the theory [6]. Thus, computer simulations do not help all students in core EMF courses to Fall 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, October 6-7 – Penn State Berksdevelop a deeper interpretation of abstract theories.

GenCyber program are to inform and educate K-12 students about the various career pathsin cyber security related fields and to provide them with the foundational skills and understandingof cyber security. The camp’s curriculum is unique in the way that it includes minimalistintroductory lectures to familiarize students with foundational cyber security concepts, manyhands-on activities using a remote virtual computer laboratory, and discussions with a strongemphasis on informing students of the potential career paths in information security. The studentslearn techniques for information system protection, destruction, and restoration by incorporatingseveral cybersecurity first principles. Each summer camp runs for five days, with each dayfocusing on

small to the very large (including the tiny turbines in dental drills).These balancing machines are a welcome and useful addition to student laboratories atengineering schools. That being said, the author believes that it is usually more useful for studentsto see how a particular machine or device is put together than to simply learn how to use it. Often,however, it simply takes too much time to go this route. For a small dynamic-balancing machine,this work shows that students can rapidly design and construct such a system. The balancingsystem developed in this work is now described.Student-Developed Balancing MachineA photograph of the balancing system is shown in Figure 2.
