All courseactivities, including the tests, were conducted in Spanish.The E&M course uses active learning for instruction [26]. During the semester, besides the useof Tutorials, a very successful teaching strategy created by McDermott, et al.

It furnishes an alternative route for green energy withrenewed design emphasis on semi-conductor technology instead of traditional analogmechanization. Finally, the results of the survey analyzing this learning methodology will also bediscussed. This will go a long way in motivating engineering technology students to conductpotential future research, and reinforcing the best practices for life-long learning.BackgroundEngineering departments are often confronted with the necessity to update laboratory exercisesand equipment with the latest emerging technological trends within tight budget constraints.Another
coursesincluded in the cyberphysical-systems certificate is a digital hardware design course. The focus ofthe digital hardware design course is to teach the usage and implementation of digital systems andalgorithms onto field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs); semiconductor devices containing amatrix of reconfigurable logic blocks connected together that can be reprogrammed to any desiredfunction post-manufacturing. This course has been taught, until recently, in a traditionallecture-based manner with periodic hands-on projects and laboratory exercises. The course wasrecently flipped [1], featuring many new active-learning techniques and overhauled laboratoryexercises. To satisfy the new cyberphysical systems security certificate requirements

Not the students we hoped to enroll.With these goals and constraints in mind, members of our faculty, together with representativesfrom the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and leaders from local high-techcorporations, set out to create a doctoral program from scratch.Implementation: Employer PartnershipsThe central idea is to instantiate DEng studies and research as a partnership between JHU’sSchool of Engineering and each student’s employer. Specifically, we expect the following fromthe student’s employer: • To provide an onsite co-advisor to be an advocate for the student and a local resource for their work. The co
mechanism for ensuring course consistency was the course andsubordinate lesson objectives, as approved by the department program director. In all cases, theseobjectives were not altered, either to increase or reduce content.Using lesson objectives as the guiding parameter, lesson restructuring followed a generallyconsistent pattern. First, any lessons under the 40 class format that were “drop periods” (used toprovide students with compensatory time) were eliminated from the schedule. Additionally,lessons used as working group sessions for larger projects and laboratories were rolled intoadjacent lessons that presented new material. It should be noted that this action reduced workinggroup session time from 55 minutes to a shortened period as allowed

A focus on the networking aspect of the RTOS kernel wasexplained by teaching the CAN bus. The emphasis was to make clear the networking part of theRTOS [9]. Laboratories were developed for teaching RTOS. For example, a virtual machineenvironment was introduced to reduce the setup time [10]. A commercial grade open sourceRTOS, FreeRTOS, was taught to show the deployment of RTOS. The emphasis was on using theFreeRTOS but not designing an RTOS [11]. The approach in [11] is a “top-down

The classroom experience can range from entirely composed of lectures to thosehaving only interactive activities. Students may additionally attend laboratory, recitation, orcomparable sessions.

advantages are recognizedfor computer modeling over physical prototyping such as convenience of workplace which is notlimited by laboratories or equipment. Another advantage is the freedom of time which isavailable whenever a computer is available. In addition, the time to achieve the task is alwaysreduced when working with computers [9]. Moreover, one of the predominant advantages ofcomputer modeling is allowing for fast modification swiftly and economically. This fast and easymanipulation of the parameters is very helpful to show the students how little compromises inone’s lifestyle may lead to significant sustainable merits.

living conditionfor a complete immersion into the local culture. During the visit, students also participate in someregular classes with their teammates (both lectures and laboratory work), even though the classesmay not be in their nature discipline. The reason for participating in classes is mostly to get an ideaof their teammates students’ competencies, but also to experience the educational methods andcustoms in other country. All the students involved in three projects appreciated very much thisimmersion, to see and experience similarities and differences at both universities. It also helpsstudents better to understand culture of their teammates.Intercultural Competencies Training our students to become “global engineers” includes improving
laboratory projects andgroup/design projects throughout the degree course. Starting with teamwork allows us aseducators to highlight the importance of collaborative working within the student cohort, witha view to creating an open culture, whereby students are supportive of each other, and canexpect support from their peers and staff. The workshop should not only highlight theimportance of formal group work, but to allow students to see themselves as an “effective”team throughout their course, even outside of assessments. If students are able to effectivelysee themselves as a team throughout their degree course, they can maximise their educationthrough peer-to-peer learning and co-operation[6].The main aims of carrying out the transferable skills
translate to post-graduation success. For example, students involved in research report greater confidence in theirability to relate to people of different races, cultures, or backgrounds, work successfully on ateam, and listen effectively [2]. These skills, individually and/or collectively, could translate intobenefits in post-secondary education or professional settings.In addition to the above benefits to students, faculty who mentor undergraduate student researchmay benefit by having additional assistance in a laboratory or with data collection, expansion oftheir own creativity and critical thinking, and overall professional growth [5].The objective of this study is to examine, from the perspectives of both mentors and mentees, theperception of
alongside key concepts and practicesin the informal teaching and learning space.Implementation StrategiesThis case study is based on an informal education program which provides students with anopportunity to dive into hands-on engineering. This program also serves as a laboratory settingfor teacher-researchers to pilot new programming that they would not have the opportunity to trywithin the formal classroom. The program serves approximately 100 diverse 6th and 8th gradegirls in an engineering summer program. The diversity of the educators may add to theinnovation with formal educators including a secondary math teacher, K-5 STEAM specialists,an inclusion coordinator, a tech integration specialist, secondary science educationundergraduates

This distinction is typically characterized by the adoption ofdifferent curricula, instructional approaches, a mix of lectures and laboratories, and textbooks. Itis broadly expected that such an approach would facilitate the development of different domainsof knowledge, ranging from more abstract and theoretical for engineering students to moreapplied and hands-on for engineering technology students. Considering the disproportionatedifferences in the spatial contents, tools of spatial representation, and associated spatial reasoningprocesses in fundamental courses such as solid mechanics or fluid dynamics, this study seeks tofind a relationship, if any, between students’ spatial
