Unlike many other academic institutions, incoming USAFAstudents are not accepted to a college or school associated with a major’s program (e.g., Collegeof Engineering). USAFA has nine institutional outcomes, and one is devoted to all graduatesbeing able to apply the engineering method. To meet this outcome, all students take fiveengineering courses as a part of the general education curriculum regardless of their major. Theearly general education engineering courses present an opportunity to recruit undeclared studentsinto engineering during their first year.Field Engineering and Readiness Laboratory ContextIn

An application process brought in five applicants whointerviewed with engineering faculty who had indicated interest in taking a CREATE scholarinto their laboratories for a research experience. These five scholars will spend 40 hours duringthe Spring 2021 semester in the research laboratories undergoing an undergraduate researchexperience. At the end of the semester an evaluation of the scholars' performance will berequested from the faculty research mentors. The performance evaluation incorporates questionsthat were compiled by the CREATE Principal Investigator team and included: 1. how often theymet with the scholar, 2. if they worked directly with

Users’ lack of laboratories configured primarily for use at teaching knowledge can make them victims of social institutions. Furthermore, we deliver a set of engineering attacks. algorithms that can be used to better

Interns wereexpected to work on their project from their home approximately forty hours per week under theremote supervision of their graduate student or postdoc mentor.In preparation for the remote program, the TTE Program Director discussed the technical needsof each project with the mentors and interns. Most interns confirmed they had sufficient internetaccess, computing capabilities, and data storage. An external hard drive was purchased for oneparticipant, and another was mailed a lensless camera by her research team. Interns were enrolledin a one-unit summer course to ensure they had access to all UC Berkeley remote resources,including library databases, software downloads, and remote control of laboratory machines.Most importantly

Miroalso offers several functions, such as cursor position of each user on the screen, activity logs, andpersonalized notes, to uplift social presence—a vital element in online classroom settings. Thesefeatures define Miro as a strong tool for online or hybrid learning environments that require highlevels of collaboration [12]. In this study, we use mixed methods to investigate if and how the use of the Miroplatform affects engineering students’ ideation in small groups during virtual laboratory sectionsof a sophomore-level Design for Manufacturability course (n = 61 participants). We conduct acomprehensive analysis of students’ use of Miro’s virtual

IntroductionUndergraduate research is a high-impact practice leading to student success, engagement,interest in higher education, and skills development [1] [2]. There are two well-known modelsfor incorporating research experiences in a program: Undergraduate Research Experiences(UREs) and Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) [3]. UREs representthe apprentice model. They feature individual students in faculty research laboratories andprovide the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring. On the other hand, CUREs are embedded intothe curriculum and are available

A senior-levelproject will demonstrate how PDSA and design of experiment can be used together to both learnabout a manufacturing process and how to improve it.Students will be using three existing laboratories with manufacturing processes to demonstratethe proposed method with the 3-D printing as the featured project. As additive manufacturing inthe form of 3-D printing is becoming more popular in research and in limited production runs, itstill has many challenges when it comes to manufacturing at a large scale. These challengesinclude cost of making the product as well as speed of production. While these challenges aretechnology-based, studying current 3-D printing processes for improving quality and

Such mutual learning interaction between students is beneficial because students will either be required to articulate their knowledge of a subject in ways that another student can understand or will profit from getting an alternative perspective from a peer on how to approach a problem.For the author’s courses, students are provided a variety of ways to demonstrate learning of thecourse material. The HW problem sets have typically counted for around 25% of the coursegrade. All courses include a laboratory and/or project component that counts for about 25% ofthe course grade, while two exams and a cumulative final count for the remaining 50%. Sincethe LON

Freshmanexperiences don’t have the same expectations to deliver discipline specific technical content thatare required at the senior level. For that reason, a closer parallel to multidisciplinary capstonemight be found in multidisciplinary laboratory sequences

Two annual events crown the intervention: a) an annual club meeting at the universitycampus, and b) a Nanodays event, where each club conducts nanotechnology demonstrations attheir own schools. Furthermore, a group of high school students and teachers is selected toparticipate in a 4-week Summer Research Program, in the Center’s laboratories. Collegeadmissions data show that 75% (N=12) of the research summer program participants and 42% ofstudents admitted from schools with MSE clubs have enrolled at UPRM, with a 94% second-year retention rate. For the schools with MSE clubs, between 49% and 75% of students whochose to major in Science, Engineering or Technology programs were

Computational modeling and interdisciplinary projects for engineering technology students The advances in nanotechnology, tissue engineering, and robotics has precipitated the need forengineering technology students who can understand and contribute to simulation and development ofcomputer models for complex command, communications, biological and control systems.The engineering faculty at our university is developing multidisciplinary projects/classes, which includehands-on application-oriented laboratory exercises, which can actively engage students. These laboratoryprojects will also be helpful to students who will take capstone senior project coursework.This paper will discuss the new, interesting multidisciplinary projects
