classroom and laboratory has been funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) over the last twenty years. His work has led to at least one textbook [5]adopting the micro-insertion approach to incorporate ethical decision making into the end-of-chapter problems.Micro-insertion inserts new content at the micro-scale of a course. For example, Riley et al. [6]describe how ethics can be micro-inserted into a course by expanding the context of technicalhomework problems. A traditional calculation-based problem would be expanded by asking thestudent to evaluate an ethics issue based on their calculation. An instructor hesitant to sacrifice aportion of their course to an unrelated topic is more likely to adopt micro-insertion when shownthat properly

Students can use this tool tohelp them visualize an example as if they were watching the forces being applied in a laboratory,as well as better understand the reactions, steps, and concepts in additional examples. Sampleframes of an animation are shown in Figure 2.

project-based learning pedagogy. Someissues implemented in project-based approach are addressed (Khorbotly, 2015). Luo presentedan on-going multiple-project-based pedagogy in electrical and computer engineering program. Inthis course, a sequence of well-prepared projects was assigned to students to cover various topicsto help student learning for enhancement of research skills (Luo, 2015). Behrouzi and Kuchmaaddressed an inquiry-based learning pedagogy used in a freshman civil and structuralengineering curriculum with an equipment-light laboratory course (Behrouzi and Kuchma, 2016).Active-based learning is a learning protocol, in which teaching strives to involve students in thelearning process more directly than in other methods (Luo, 2015).

Prior to that, he conducted his doctoral studies at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland and his master’s degree at the University of Alberta, and he worked for several years in a structural consulting firm in Edmonton spe- cializing primarily in institutional building design. His research focuses on various issues related to steel and aluminum structures, including fatigue performance, connection design, and pedestrian-induced vi- bration design. His research employs a broad range of tools, including: fracture mechanics, structural reliability, and life-cycle cost analysis and laboratory testing. He is currently the Director of Waterloo’s new Architectural Engineering program

The course has a three credit hour “lecture” component and aone credit hour laboratory component. The project scores were incorporated as part of the lecturecomponent of the course. This paper briefly discusses our department’s assessment plan and adescription of the speaker project assignment, including how SLO (2) is assessed and samplestudent work.Physics and Engineering Physics assessment plan at Our UniversityThe assessment plans of most programs ATU rely on an "I, R, M” (introduce, reinforce, master)curriculum mapping.

In addition, their individual bilge pump hasbeen partially fabricated, so they have been exposed to concepts such as tolerance, readingdrawings, the selection of the appropriate drill size to properly tap a hole, and the basic use of amill, lathe and drill press for fabrication of aluminum components. They practice removingmaterial on the lathe at 1 mil, 2 mil, and up to 5 mil at a time to visually experience what thatlooks like. They keep notes on the provided bilge pump drawings as to changes that they wouldmake to improve the drawings.The students then take a break from machining during the laboratory period, as outlined in Table1, and learn to create their bilge pump in SolidWorks

This survey, which took approximately tenminutes to complete, was a slightly modified version of the Friday Institute’s S-STEM survey[16] which has been shown to be a valid instrument for understanding student attitudes fordifferent STEM disciplines. Second, focus group interviews related to attitudes and interests inengineering were conducted. The focus group protocol and questions were created by the team ofresearchers to address specific topics around the research questions including student interest andidentity around engineering tasks.

Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) in which utilities, such as theSnohomish PUD and Puget Sound Energy, were tasked to increase distribution efficiencythrough implementation of CVR. Research suggested that CVR provided energy savings and areduction in peak demand but development came to a halt due to lack of funding [3].A report about the effects of CVR on a national level was published by the Pacific NorthwestNational Laboratory (PNNL) in 2010. The study found that implementing CVR on everydistribution feeder in the United States will provide a 3.04% reduction in annual energyconsumption. In 2017, the total electricity demand of the United States was 4.01 trillion kWh;therefore, a savings of 3.04% would reduce electricity consumption by

Weplaced heavy emphasis on the experiments and subsequent lab reports because they were themain active learning component of the course. All courseware was available to students at nocost, including the development environment supporting the HDL, which allowed students tocomplete the experiments outside of the lab. Students used VHDL during the spring quarter andVerilog during the fall quarter.Each of the ten quizzes was two pages in length; the first page was a design problem

The program has established three educationalgoals: (1) To instill in students a classroom/laboratory basic education in mechanical engineeringtechnology fundamentals. (2) To develop in students the skills required to apply engineeringfundamentals to the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of mechanical engineering technologyproblems. (3) To foster in students personal development to ensure a lifetime of professionalsuccess and an appreciation for the ethical and social responsibilities of a mechanicalengineering technologist and a world citizen.

Moreover, a sense of enablement to use project planning (in and out of the classroom)was expressed.As continued efforts to this case study, the author is planning to refine and scale this model for furtherdevelopment as a stand-alone module intended to be used for deploying PM methods to STEM basedcurriculums. Options would include factoring the degree of industry participation, scope, andcomplexity. Finally, this module is planned to be offered as an OER (Open Education Resource)STEM resource for anyone looking to add authentic industry PM practices to their instruction---rangingfrom a laboratory course to a full scale dedicated capstone or PBL course.
