Afternoon sessions in the laboratory are used to reinforce themorning topics and typically generate new questions for explorations. During the past twosummers, a complete energy conversion system consisting of a water wheel and a smallgenerator has been built and the performance characterized. A special emphasis is made oncharacterizing system losses. Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of Texas at Arlington Copyright 2003, American Society for

in online classPBL was integrated in the EENG 3306 Electronics I curriculum in the Fall of 2020 to teach theconcepts of diode circuit models, voltage regulation, and rectifier circuits. The course wascomposed of three lecture hours and three contact hours of laboratory. The lectures were taughtassuming that students enrolled in the class have prior knowledge of circuit analysis methods andgeneral chemistry through the prerequisites. The proposed PBL method replaced the secondmidterm examination in the course. As the course was taught online, students were encouraged todesign their proposed solutions as simulation files. The deliverables also included a comprehensiveproject report with a presentation followed by a short question and answer
disciplines and are considered elective courses at the undergraduatelevel degree. Some schools have added an extra year (fifth year) to allow the student to graduatewith a master degree in addition to the undergraduate degree in electrical engineering. All thesecourses should be elective courses, in my opinion, to allow the electrical engineering student toexpand his knowledge in depth about his or her own interest. It does not make any sense that ageneral electrical engineering degree should be introduced by requiring the student to takemultiple unrelated courses in many disciplines. During teaching undergraduate students inelectrical engineering, I discovered that many students do not pass the communication course forthe first time. Similar
RPs indicated that these interactions were not the same as pre-COVID campuslearning environments, they appreciated the limited, but real-time interactions with professorsand peers. Nevertheless, they expressed that it was very challenging to even ask questions inthese virtual teaching platforms. An RP noted that ‘I think in the class, you can actually see eachother and have a conversation about what you’re asking and what you’re trying to say ... you’rekind of, like you ask a question, but its 30 to 40 other students who have questions.” RPs alsomissed the hands-on experiences of STEM learning. Considering that most STEM students arevisual and tactile learners, the lack of hands-on STEM laboratory projects in synchronouscourses negatively

The pioneers at Flindersraised a valuable concern “The field (nanotechnology) is currently in its infancy and is incrediblybroad, spanning chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics and engineering. This is in fact probablyan incomplete list but it makes the point. How do you possibly teach all these areas to students in afour year honors degree?“2. Alternatively, other investigators proposed, utilizing lower divisioncourses as a departure course to familiarize undergraduate students with concepts ofnanotechnology3.

for two-thirds of a public institution’s funding to come from the state.Today things are dramatically different. A recent survey found that state funding can varyfrom eight percent to up to 57 percent of a state four-year institution of highereducation’s budget. On the low end were national research institutions and on the highend were predominantly teaching intuitions. [1] The rational from the respective statelegislatures appeared to be that research institutions could get by for less due to the grantmoney they took in. Their student tuition also tends to be higher. However, funding fromthe state and student tuition is not enough. Almost all public institutions now mustengage in fundraising to be able to balance their budgets. The question

homework systems to be valuablefor teaching and learning (e.g. [1], [2]).Firstly, the desired learning outcomes need to be clearly determined as they will guide thedesign of the content and the problem types in the homework. It is also important to decidethe purpose of the homework in terms of whether it is meant as a formative or summativeassessment. Lunsford and Pendergrass [2] suggested that online homework systems may bemore suitable for formative assessment due to the feedback available for both students andteachers. Also, formative assessment views mistakes as part of the learning process which issupported by online homework systems where students are usually given multiple attemptsfor each problem.

, 2021 MAKER: Design of a Virtual CNC Mill by Unity Software AbstractIt requires a lot of hands-on experience to learn how to operate a computer numerical control (CNC)mill. Virtual Reality (VR) can serve as a way to teach how to properly operate it. The goal of thisresearch is to create a virtual CNC mill that can provide interactive training for students. The Unitysoftware was used for this goal. Unity is a game development engine used to produce video games,utility software, and more. The functionality of the CNC simulation was created with C# scripting.The visual representation of the CNC mill was built through 3D modeling, and then transferredinto FBX 3D models which are compatible
