The first approach consisted of a semi-structured design ofexperiment project with prescribed experimental procedure, and the second approach consistedof an open-ended design project where students had to develop, justify and execute anexperimental program.

In addition, the implementation of theseamplifiers in a small package size (within a metal enclosure) provides an excellent avenue forexposing students to printed circuit board (PCB) layout and prototyping. One benefit of thesecircuits is that they can be used with an input device (guitar) and an output device (audio amplifier)and students can physically observe (and hear) the results of their design. One particular benefit ofthis approach is a greater understanding of frequency response characteristics, as students are ableto hear the results.In this work, several lab projects were

Then these instructors teamed up with full-time faculty to co-teach courses. This approach combines the high quality of engineering theory with valuable professional skills to provide students with an excellent learning opportunity. • Professional development in the industry – faculty members were encouraged to obtain summer internships in the local construction firms to develop professional skills such as surveying, project control, field management, etc.The implementation of these approaches makes sure that

support STEM education in developing nations, thus, open source applications would be the solution to this dilemma. Open source software technology depends on collaborative work among people from all over the world, therefore, students in developing nations can gain their experiences while they are contributing to open source projects and earn their degrees while they are at their home county and no need to travel to study abroad. Schools can utilize STEM open source for teaching that leads to build robust education for students and help build their future and move out of poverty.In this paper we discuss Open source as tools and applications to enhance students learning inSTEM education.

The mechanism is to developinteresting, team-based, hands-on educational modules that can be incorporated into existing courses. Thefocus is on associate degree programs in Engineering Technology, but a major thrust also goes towardsecondary school programs that might lead into associate degrees, and many of the modules could apply aswell to four-year engineering and technology programs. Four independent teams began late in 1994 to develop the modules that were the de] iverable itemsfor this grant. Theoretically, each team could have representation from seven different viewpoints: bothfaculty and students from the university, the high school and the

Indeed, numerous educators and researchers have reported onefforts to incorporate sustainable design principles into design courses and projects [4, 5].However, a systematic review of ASEE proceedings showed a lack of rigorously-developedassessment tools for capturing the efficacy of interventions on student sustainable design skills[6]. Rubrics in particular are a promising assessment tool because they can be used for studentsto scaffold application of sustainable design principles and also by instructors to quantify theimpacts of their course innovations [7, 8].

Itwas a need expressed to us - the Ariel Foundation Park Learning Trails project needed help fromour engineering students to conduct a study of the history of a century-old bridge and createeducational materials for the community. We gladly took it on as a class project since studentswere studying finite element methods and learning a new software – ANSYS. We were rewardedfor it - students loved this service project as it created a link between abstract engineering theoryand everyday objects they could touch and see. Along the process they learned what they neededto learn - the CAE tool. It was a win-win situation. In the following sections, we will

Microgrids have a wide variety of commercial and humanitarian applications. Humanitarian microgrid projects require non-traditional design approaches since their operation requires minimal human intervention and maintenance. Furthermore, users typically become dependent on the reliable operation of these systems hence premature failures can have serious negative consequences.Dr
