Development of affective capacities traditionally receivedless attention despite indications of their importance. Stolk and Harari, for instance, identified aneed for further investigation of connections between engineering college students’ motivationand cognitive development [1]. Introduction of entrepreneurship in engineering design offersone approach that may enhance these traits. Prior research conducted in an introductoryengineering course suggests that interaction with a “real” customer, other than the courseinstructor, enhances students’ perceived capacity to perform design tasks such as

Thekit provides instructions to build a mobile robot with a simple arm on top. Using this kit, studentscan go through the process of construction, electronics assembly, and programming. The VEXrobot has been used to implement waypoint navigation, map building, and path planning [1]. However, VEX robots primarily focus on motion control and low-level sensing, and they donot have a vision sensor (such as a CCD camera). As a result, it does not provide an onboard imageprocessing capability. In recent years, cameras have become more widely used on robots, allowinga representation of the

IntroductionPhase-field method has emerged as a powerful and flexible tool for simulating the formation andevolution of microstructures in a wide variety of physical processes in materials. A distinctadvantage of this method is that it removes the need of explicitly tracking complex of interfacesand instead allows the prediction of the morphology evolution at micro- to mesoscale by followingthe growth kinetics of key microstructural features [1]. Because of such advantages, by now thephase-field method has been extensively applied to model different types of phase transformationsin various materials, such as

Students were asked to respond to questions about their per-ceived comfort in the classroom, perceived isolation, and perceived support from course staff andother students. We note that the whole class’s sense of belonging statistically increases from thebeginning to the end of the semester in both sections. Furthermore, the increased sense of belong-ing is more pronounced in the in-person section. Based on our findings, we conclude that onlinesections for on-campus students may be an effective way to accommodate large class sizes, in-creased enrollment pressure, and students’ need for flexibility, while not disadvantaging students’learning outcomes.1
