In this work, a completely refurbished dynamic systems laboratorycourse is implemented into an undergraduate mechanical engineering program for the purpose ofproducing excellence in student learning and engagement. The new laboratory assignmentsinvolve physical experimentation, which is a modification to the previous course that includedonly simulation projects. Custom-made exercises include physical measurement and analysis ofsound pressure signals, and reverse engineering of products using the Raspberry Pi computeplatform. Coding of Raspberry Pi boards is accomplished using MATLAB Online and SimulinkOnline. Student engagement with both the new hardware-based course and previoussimulation-based course are assessed using

The course itself was focused on the development of software, hardware,and fabrication skills of particular use to biomedical engineers [3]. These included CAD,microcontrollers, basic circuits, 3D printing, subtractive approaches to prototyping (dependingon semester), and digital image analysis. The course culminated in a closed-ended team-baseddesign project with a physical prototype due at the end.Students would have taken 0 to 3 courses prior to the design course in question.

This indicates that communication, technical, andleadership skills are an essential set of tools embedded within groups to execute and maintain thefocus of innovative ideas. Thus, it is demonstrated that role of the practicing engineer is more thanfinding solutions to technical problems. It may include managing projects, working in teamsettings, communicating, decision-making, preparing technical reports, organizing events,scheduling meetings, or proposing new methods of solving problems.These roles and duties, despite being essential for the success of a practicing engineer, are notcultivated in undergraduate engineering curricula which are focused on strengthening andnurturing areas in

Students earn tokens by answering exam questions, completing labs, and/orcompleting mini-projects. The token progression was built around Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, alearning taxonomy that breaks learning into 4 levels, shown in Figure 1 [12]. To earn a C,students must meet all of the level 2 objectives. Level 3 and 4 objectives could be completed toearn additional tokens.Depth of Knowledge 1 (DK1) is recalland reproduce.
