Even during design experiences, neither the importance ofcreativity nor various methods to boost it is covered, leaving students mostly on their own for alimited duration for “brainstorming”. However, creativity and originality are among the mostsignificant skills employers want today; and they are also projected to be in demand in years tocome (see Figure 1).Figure 1. A Comparison on Skills Demand – 2018 vs. 2022 (The Future of Jobs Report, 2018,pp.12 [4])To a certain extent, this rather ad hoc approach to creativity is due to a lack of knowledge on thecognitive and neural mechanisms underlying divergent thinking, and creative ideation moregenerally.

The main objective of this project is to familiarize students with real-timeimplementation of advanced electric machine drive concepts such as field-oriented vector controlby programming high-performance industrial microcontrollers. Hands-on experience withelectric drives is also provided through the operation and control of machines. This laboratorycourse, designed to follow the advanced lecture course on electric drives, aims to improvestudents’ understanding of theory. Experiments, hardware and instruments for the proposedlaboratory course are discussed.IntroductionIn the past, due to the convenience of their torque and speed control, DC machines were usedmost widely for

unsafeoutcomes.The goal of this paper is to briefly re-introduce the art of estimation in engineering. This isevident when dealing with entrepreneurial thinking where projections and estimations need to bequickly calculated and frequently modified as necessary. Estimation specifically allowsentrepreneurs to make quick inexpensive decisions, which would otherwise cost time andresources. This paper shares research work that involves various, example-based estimationmethods that are useful in engineering. The methods provide rough predictions of expectedoutcome, allowing students to intelligently guess a reasonable range of expected outcomes, givenbasic raw data within its necessary parameters. The methods include: • Segmentation • Fermi Estimation

Dr. Antonio received his PhD in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University in 1989. He was a faculty member at Purdue University and Texas Tech before joining OU as professor and director of computer science in 1999. He has been an investigator for a number of funded research projects. As Associate Dean, Dr. Antonio represents the Dean’s office on matters related to academic programs and services, including outreach, recruiting, scholarships, advising
activities from the pilot program to be leveraged across multiple K-12 age ranges as part of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) outreach activities. To date, this program has been in place for three academic sessions of each course. Thework presented here will cover results and observations to-date, preliminary evaluations ofeffectiveness relative to standard (non-pilot) program instances, and plans for future work. Gradedistribution, pass/fail percentage, and anonymous student feedback surveys are utilized asmetrics to evaluate the impact of the pilot program’s changes for each of these courses.Description of Program The pilot program utilizes experiential learning tools in the form of hands-on projects,classroom

Sherrod, Texas Tech University Sonya Sherrod holds a B.S. and an M.A. in mathematics and a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction. Her research interests include instructional approaches that help students (K-12) learn mathematics concep- tually and instructional strategies that motivate preservice teachers to relearn mathematics conceptually, to empower
learning, and to promote attendance. An average of10 audience response questions was provided in each lecture for both courses. These wereapproximately 25% conceptual questions and 75% calculation based equations. Three midtermexams were administered for each course. The 1st year course included a final exam while the 4thyear course included a final project. Student grades were based on homework assignments fromthe textbook ( 15% 1st year course, 10% 4th year course), class participation ( 5% 1st year course,10% 4th year course), midterm exams (50% 1st year course, 45% 4th year course), final exam orproject (30% 1st year course, 25% 4th year course) and laboratory assignments (10% 4th yearcourse).
