approach is problem-based or project-basedlearning. In problem-based learning, students are presented with problems to solve and thendiscover the material needed. In contrast, project-based learning is more hands-on with physicalhardware as the motivator for the solution-space search.11 An advantage of project-basedlearning, in our view, is the close connection to real-world constraints including methods ofmanufacture and assembly. We have found that this approach is very engaging to students, andthat when properly conceived, we can achieve both depth and breadth of understanding.12Anecdotally, many potential employers that we speak with show a strong preference for studentsthat have had practical experience in their undergraduate education.

As part of a finalproject, students modeled and analyzed a graded porous electrode to be used as part of a rechargeablebattery system. The individually-submitted course assignments served as the raw data used to examinestudents’ modeling and simulation practices.Data CollectionFor part of the final course project, students were asked to design a rechargeable battery system able tooperate under specific conditions in several different applications.

The capstone sequence begins with a 10week junior design course where a series of small design projects tests their ability to solveproblems in a variety of disciplines. Following the junior design course, the students have a 20week senior design sequence where they design, build and deliver a prototype for an externalclient. Aside from these core components the students gain additional breadth through courses inmath, chemistry, and computer science. This curriculum was designed to include room for atechnical area of focus outside of the engineering physics curriculum through a set

As a reinforcedlearning methodology to greatly assist students’ reasoning and problem-solving skills, virtuallearning was first integrated at the planning stage of their projects.

An experiment-based project was included into the course syllabus where studentsperform solar cell I-V characterization and extract the cell parameters by analyzing theexperimental data. Student perception on the learning outcome and the impact of the projectwere measured based on student feedback. All of the students found that the experiment-basedproject helped them to reinforce the theoretical knowledge and a majority of the students believethat the learning outcomes of the course would be incomplete

A disproportionately large number of minority students andtransfer students who come from low-income households exacerbate the problem of retentionand graduation rates. Therefore, ASCENT is designed to: 1. address the problem of slow progress towards graduation among talented yet low-income students in MATH and CS, 2. enhance existing bonds and build new ones between LU and CC in the area, and 3. enhance upper-level experience in MATH and CS by building strong diverse studentcohorts, easing the transition of transfer students to upper-level work.

Calculations forcompression, shrinkage, and cooling of the inserts were used to establish initial information fordevelopment of the molding conditions. There were measurements taken on the inserts and themolded parts to validate calculations and specified dimensions. This development procedure willserve as guideline for future parts.

Currently, graduates incybersecurity are in short supply because few universities have sufficient courses in this area. An interesting andpractical hands-on labware can help students obtain knowledge in security. We have been working on integratingsecurity education into Georgia State University's computer science curriculum since the project was funded byNSF in Sept. 2013. We focus on adding security teaching activities into four courses: (1) Operating Systems, (2)Embedded Systems, (3) Computer Networks, and (4) Web

Two student groups developed resources for incorporating ethicsteachings into engineering curriculum and evaluated student response throughout various classes.
