It was also conjectured that finite element modeling andsimulation is probably the most basic and powerful tool that almost any engineer is required topossess to day. An exercise using this tool will help pave way for refinement and expertise in 8modeling and simulation and would be of vital help in other

nextsteps.Supporting LiteratureWith the evolution to a polytechnic campus and the move toward a school of integrated studies,the study abroad faculty team made a conscious decision to integrate the arts into the existingSTEM philosophy prevalent within the college to work toward a STEAM (Science, Technology,Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) philosophy. Adding the arts to the existing STEM modelencourages creativity, innovation, self-expression, and personal connection in student learning.Melding technology with creative thinking helps create a well-rounded individual resulting ininnovative ideas to drive progress (Land 2013).

thatmaximizes battery life and may need to use machine learning in order to make sense of themassive amounts of data that deployments can generate. Computer engineers interested increating IoT devices must have an advanced understanding of firmware programming and radiocommunication to create smart devices that communicate with low power usage. Others (e.g.,biologists, civil engineers, mechanical engineers) who want to use IoT for special projects theymay have in mind need to understand the challenges and limitations of the technology and thewireless communication space in order to design systems accordingly. Currently, few courses onIoT are offered nationwide. There is a strong need for more. This paper describes a project-based, pilot IoT course

Virtual Reality Classroom Experiences to Help Engineering Students Understand Moments of Inertia and Aircraft DesignDominic Halsmer, Richard Ernst, John Voth (Oral Roberts University,USA)The undergraduate engineering curriculum is extremely challenging, largely due to the complexity of the processes and concepts it introduces. One good way to handle this complexity andassist
momentsacting on a body isolated from the rest of system is a key step in solving virtually any solidmechanics problem. It is for this reason that one of the first major courses for any mechanical orcivil engineering student is Statics (or its equivalent), which is almost entirely based around theconcept of the FBD. The FBD can be a rather challenging concept to teach, especially tofreshmen and sophomore undergraduate students who may not have yet developed a physics andengineering perspective in their approach to solving problems. With this in mind, theexploded-view approach, which is a simple and intuitive way to teach the concept of the FBD forvirtually any mechanical system, is explored in this paper.MotivationThe exploded-view approach to free
