That TA was funded with the grant she received from themakerspace. With the benefits of incorporating makerspace projects into courses in mind,institutions that aim to improve student outcomes through makerspace use should supplyfinancial support. There is a large quantity of funding and backing aimed at makerspaces as theygain popularity in engineering institutions across the country, but this is usually designated forequipment and
in the lab).It should be noted that the above conditions are not meant to, and should not, compromise thelearning value of the experiment and the hands-on experience of the students. In this article, adesign for a heat transfer experiment is described with the above points in mind. The experimenttargets the thermal lumped system analysis, which is typically covered in the heat transfer courseundergraduate mechanical engineering students are required to take. The lumped systemanalysis allows determination of the transient response of a thermal system undergoing coolingor heating from a given starting temperature. The paper also assesses the attitudes of studentsand their reactions to the experiment.Design and Description of Experimental Set
%; data included in this study had a minimum of 55% and a maximum of 100%.For this study, we were interested in investigating the perception that an instructorteaching several sections of the same course in a given semester gets better as they presentthe material from one section to the next. With this in mind, we requested first-yearengineering faculty who teach several sections of the same course each semester to providespecific data from their TRACE evaluations. All classes considered in this study were first-year engineering courses with the same content. Both Full and Split Cornerstone sectionswere included in the data. Honors sections were removed and their data was not includedin this study because grades and other data were significant

Advances in Engineering Education SUMMER 2020 VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2Undergraduate Cross-Class Research Projects for DeepLearning in Engineering EducationMANSOUR KARKOUBTexas A&M University at QatarDoha, QatarCHUN-LIN YANGWAEL KARKOUBMOUSTAFA RASLANTexas A&M UniversityCollege Station, Texas ABSTRACT For many years, educators have been developing tools and techniques to improve the learningprocess in higher education; however, the vast majority of these do not focus directly on deep learn-ing. In this work, an innovative teaching/learning tool is presented which focuses on deep learning ofsome engineering skills and principles. The tool is known as the
B student.Additionally, exams should be written with ‘reality’ in mind. One goal of the problem solvingprocess is to help students develop intuition. If exams have ‘unrealistic’ values, then studentscannot do a sanity check on their answers to find mistakes, and they will not develop ameaningful engineering intuition.Modifications to the SMART Model for DynamicsAny modification to the SMART model should be done carefully and with an understanding ofthe synergies involved. It is important to implement the SMART approach in a holistic mannerconsistent with its key principles, though some details of the implementation may necessarilyvary from course to course. In the case of application to Dynamics, the goal was to change aslittle as possible
