In both semesters, students learned the same topics and performed thesame design term project based on a microcantilever sensor. However, in 2005 they designedcantilever sensors and simulated their deflection using computer programs such as ANSYS,SolidWork, and MatLab, and in 2007 the students fabricated their own cantilever sensors andperformed the experiment on deflection measurements with them.

Two very important observations came to light; one that students didexpect to see the material in advance and two that students would print the notes. Handwrittennotes were acceptable because ElluminateTM and SmartboardTM allowed us to write on top of thenotes; consequently we have Image, Sound and Editing (ISE) all real-time.

Finally, we feel that the approach of having eachstudent construct his or her own working computer instills a real sense of accomplishment andself-confidence and provides an unusual skillset to attract potential employers. While further incremental changes to the course (notably, the creation of part kits as wellas streamlining of some labs) are needed to provide a smooth, polished course in Drexel’sdemanding ten-week quarter timeframe, the basic course as outlined here has great potential toinspire enthusiasm for engineering and digital design among Drexel’s AET students.

Different assessment tools were compared andcontrasted to meet specific requirements. The decision criteria were created based on theusability of the assessment tool, metric, familiarity with MRAS, detail, and affordability. Thesefactors were used as a benchmark for the selection process.The Lean assessment tool selected for this study was Strategos Lean assessment tool developedby Quarterman Lee at Strategos Inc.

These types of active learning scenarios have potential tostrengthen STEM competencies to increase students’ academic persistence [4] [5].

And many of them overloadprofessors. We can dissuade cheating a bit by raising the stakes, but it won't work in the long run.So then what? Here is our call to action.Along with the growing concern about our student’s uses of AI, the time has come to heed the callfor active learning, problem-based learning, and mindset changes.
