This was done through several pilot tests with 1) anundergraduate engineering and technology teacher education course at Purdue University, 2) alocal afterschool program, 3) our own families, 4) a local high-school technology classroom, and5) a summer camp program where the soft robot experience was implemented.

When this experiment was performed, it was part of aThermodynamics class with 16 students. Students worked in groups of two with each studentable to have direct contact with the experimental apparatus. Because two experiments wereperformed in the same session (cold boiling and triple point), half the group did each experimentand then the groups switched. This experiment could also be used in a Chemistry lab or UnitOperations lab, likely in conjunction with a unit on the Refrigeration Cycle.

Insome institutions, it is common for graduate students to take courses outside of their departmentor college; in other programs, graduate students are not allowed to enroll in courses outside theirmajor or college.Another important question to answer during your visit or conversations is what kind of workingenvironments (office, lab, classroom, etc.) are typical for graduate students pursuing the researchor degree that interests you at that institution. Pursuing a graduate degree in engineering isdifferent than being an undergraduate; many graduate students find that their research andcoursework is more like having a job than being a student.

Finally, the paper concludeswith an overview of the project challenges and benefits.Course BackgroundThe Introduction to Finite Element course is a mechanical engineering technical elective for under-graduates, brought to the program in 2013. The course format includes two hours of lecture and atwo hour computational laboratory. The course begins by introducing students to one-dimensionalsingle degree of freedom problems. We present theory for solving axial displacement & temper-ature problems. In addition, the course provides practice with two and three dimensional models,incorporating

Our currentcurriculum includes, in the junior year, a series of laboratory experiences with emphases inCircuits (Fall Quarter), Electronics (Winter Quarter), and Signals and Systems (Spring Quarter).This lab sequence is designed to equip students with skills necessary to successfully complete ayear-long junior design project that has a unique theme each year; we aim to design an IoT-themed project for AY 2018-2019. Through the proposed initiative, we foresee that ECEstudents will encounter an IoT-enhanced course at least thrice per year, throughout theirundergraduate program.

laboratory. This paper will discuss a novel design of a folded, paper microfluidicbattery based on the work of N. Thom et al. that can power a surface-mounted light-emittingdiode. This origami design, named for the Japanese art of folding paper called origami, allowsone to print and assemble postage-stamp sized paper batteries for an initial equipment investmentof under $1000 (a wax printer and micropipettes). Although the start-up cost of supplies is a fewhundred dollars, the approximate cost per postage-stamp sized battery is on the order of $0.10.The design presented here has a folded footprint of 1 cm2 and outputs an open circuit voltage of2.5 V for over 15 minutes.

This paperattempts to bridge this gap by presenting a basic yet comprehensive project that can be used todemonstrate amplitude modulation and demodulation theory. It is specifically designed to stir theinterest of junior or senior level electronics minded electrical engineering students. In thisproject, a double sideband large carrier waveform is produced using a simple switchingmodulator circuit. The resulting amplitude modulation (AM) waveform is then demodulatedusing an envelope detector circuit. The proposed project requests that students perform a circuitsimulation as well as an actual circuit implementation. The circuit behavior is studied via bothanalysis using software tools and

All of the students had previously completed coursework in Calculus, Physics andEngineering Statics. These courses are not considered to be experiential learning courses, but aremore typically taught in a lecture format. Both Physics and Engineering Statics have anassociated laboratory or recitation section.
