Student maturity and motivation is also a consistent topic in the responses regardingappropriateness for all learners. Some of the concern was specifically directed at middle and highschool students. However, others were more general and were related to students having the self-discipline to properly engage with the out-of-class work. This is addressed by many whoresponded yes, but qualified their response by stating that proper planning and supports shouldbe in place for the flipped classroom model to be effective.

note that this type of course is not intended as an open elective, but instead as a finalcourse for the completion of a minor in the sciences. Thus, students would likely already haverelationships established with the faculty with whom they will conduct research. Often, theprocess of planning out a project will take place over a semester preceding the research courseitself (for example in Physics, while a student is still taking modern physics). Since researchprojects typically take quite some time to actually start up, this lead in time is essential to getdocuments, papers and sourcing established. Student groups (anywhere from 1-5 students) aretypically identified and formed before the beginning of the research semester. These groups

Instructors enjoyed working together, but also faced many difficulties related tomanaging not just their own course. Deadlines not met in one course had rippling effects,requiring other courses to be flexible with their own deliverable contents and/or due dates.Although the endeavor was challenging for instructor and student alike, with some smalladjustments we recommend the model and will try it again.IntroductionThere are many challenges in engineering education, including stimulating student

During the course, students explored ways in which an engineer’s activities canpotentially benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societaloutcomes. The course incorporated lectures from the instructor and invited speakers. Studentsdeveloped a personal broader impacts plan that is aligned with their personal and professionalinterests and goals.

Students submitted a Project Management Log which they updatedthroughout the semester with meeting minutes, in-class writing activities, reflections, sketches,and other forms of documentation that they were effectively managing their team project.2.1.3 PrototypingThe most innovative aspect of the course was incorporating prototyping skills. Given that no othercourse directly taught these skills, the collaborators thought that this aspect of the study was crucialto the success of both the course and the EEP. Teams wrote a memo to the director of the EEPearly in the semester, outlining their initial plans for their prototype and requesting materials,personnel, and other resources.Teams then communicated

Finally we talk about a method to assess the effectiveness of our study.Ethics Education in EngineeringOne of the major thrusts in engineering education is to develop students’ professional skills thatgo beyond the traditional technical curriculum [3]. Ethics education is a very important part ofany engineering program. ABET requires that all programs seeking accreditation mustdemonstrate that their graduates have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility[4].Integrating professional skills into the technical content of engineering curriculum has alwaysbeen a

Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to set up AI courses especially in primary andsecondary schools. To this end, AI education systems and related teaching systems are indis-pensable.

The primary benefit is that they reduce accidents and save lives. Therehas been a long history of developing self-driving cars, from Stanford Cart in 1961 to Tesla andGoogle at present. The differences between Tesla and Google are mainly in two areas, computervision technology and human car control. Self-driving is challenging and requires a wide rangeof technologies, including learning the environment, tracking objects, localization, path planning, 1and control. We illustrate finding lane lines with computer vision and predicting the location

The inclusive teaching session has evolved since its inception in response to theuniversity’s strategic plan for diversity, equity, and inclusion in 2016 [13], and it varies due toCRLT Players’ schedule constraints. However, the goals are the same regardless of the format.After attending the inclusive teaching session, participants should be able to: ● increase their awareness of the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering, ● examine a range of scenarios highlighting problematic classroom environments, ● reflect on the impact of student and instructor social identities

For AM, the samestudents will learn to produce physical models for these mathematical relationships via AMtechnologies. Based on these teaching and learning experiences, we plan to show that thelevel of students’ understanding of the inventory models increases with these visual andtactile aids. Ultimately, we plan to show how tactile aids produced via AM help students learn themathematical concepts of integral calculus. We also intend to demonstrate how this calculusprovides a way to characterize the variations in products manufactured via AM

A mechatronic system integration plan was developed to combine the mechanical, electronic and software elements of the research. Once the system was modelled mathematically, a control strategy was implemented to achieve stability. This was investigated by creating a MATLAB ® Simulink ® numerical model, which was used to run simulations of the system. - “Development of Automated Aerial Pesticide Sprayers” by Dheepak, et. al [3].
