The program has experienced growth over the 23 years as shown inFigure 1. In the recent years, the growth rate has been very rapid and

The ETW also encourages using a variety of assignments based on the time available, the purpose of the assessment, and the cognitive level of the learning objective as part of the Planning a Class seminar and the development of in- class and out-of-class activities. The ETW should, as a minimum, include the added benefit of assessing a wider diversity of students by using a variety of assignments in this discussion. Of course, this wider variety of assignments will be more successful in smaller class sizes where the student-faculty interaction is greater and effective

In the innovation course the students developed new ideas forproducts and services using creativity and ideation techniques, which were the central coursecontent. The upshot was that the projects were developed in periods ranging from several weeksto a few months, all in the context of courses emphasizing design methods. These origins ofprojects stand in contrast to the projects seen in NSF I-Corps, which are typically the result oflonger-term research from university laboratories by personnel who are emotionally invested inthis research and its products.

This project aimed at utilizing an Internet of Things (IoT)- based platform to measure these quantities remotely. In this system, oil temperature, oil level and oil permittivity are measured with custom transducers. This information is then collected and sent to a remote server that can be accessed from any computer or smart phone. This real-time information could reveal problems within a transformer or elsewhere in the power system, creating a more precise way to dispatch system maintenance. SE

isachievable with a bachelor’s degree is fueling student interest in computer science as a major.Students are highly motivated to learn as they enter their first programming course, CS1 [2]. Yet,the pass rate for CS1 courses has been reported to be as low as 67% [3]. Many possible reasonsfor high attrition have been proposed ranging from inadequate advising to poorly-designedactivities in CS1 laboratories to insufficient opportunities for meaningful practice with formativefeedback [4]. Increased student engagement in introductory programming courses may be oneroute to increasing retention in CS1 courses.Collaboration, gamification, and social interaction are considered to be three pedagogicalstrategies which aid in engaging students in learning
Course Using Design-Based Teaching ApproachAbstract: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes is one of the core courses in most mechanicalengineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering programs. The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems
least an “Understanding” level of skill. Subsequent courses wouldbuild on that level through more advanced experiential learning activities, including working inteams, participation in student organizations, and internships. Interwoven throughout will beopportunities for students to use their skills in coaching others in a leadership laboratory setting.The result was a much more cohesive and synchronized course structure that captured the bestaspects of the prior curriculum while streamlining the flow through elimination of redundancy. Asix-course structure was created consisting of eleven credit hours of academic work. A non-creditinternship was retained, and the RIPE specialization and project management courses were added.To make it easy for
