The students were also asked to verify and report their obtained values against thosereported in the literature as much as possible. Additionally, the students were also asked toidentify the sources of error in their experimental model that would have resulted in deviations(if any) of their calculated friction coefficient values. Majority of the students (greater than 90%)were able to report values and reflect upon their results and the deviations they observed.Considering that this is not a controlled laboratory experiment where all the equipment andparameters are strictly controlled, the simple experimental models built by the students workedquite well to

It is difficult to evaluate the feasibility of specific audio inputmechanisms in the development laboratory since we lack the ability to reliably simulate real-world conditions (such as background noise). Data gathered from real-world testing will besignificantly more informative. We will work with test subjects to ensure that a variety of audioinput mechanisms are trialed in a variety of cases and gather users’ feedback. We believe thiswill lead to the identification of an additional design criteria with regard to ensuring a practical,high-quality audio input.ConclusionsWe identified and presented six major design objectives for an augmented reality

The goal was to promote professional activities of students,faculty, and staff in areas of research, scholarship, course development and professionaldevelopment by providing funds for stipend, travel, buyout for release time and purchase ofequipment, services and supplies. These funds were to be used to offer undergraduate andgraduate students opportunity to explore special topics outside of their formal coursework thatinspired their creativity and imagination through additional research and exploration and earncollege credit for their work. As structured coursework rarely offers extended, stress-freeenvironment conducive to learning and exploration, ideas were developed for student projects toprovide laboratory

% The objective of this paper is to present project management modules that were implementedin the mechanical engineering capstone course at Villanova University. The paper describes thecontent and timeline for the implementation of seven project management modules in the two-semester capstone course starting in the 2018-19 academic year.Capstone: Ideal for Project Management InstructionThe capstone course is a project-based learning experience that attempts to mirror a real-worldproblem with open-ended design projects. Thus, students are expected to combine and applyknowledge gained from previous courses and laboratory work. Often projects are sponsored andsupported by industry, providing direct exposure to design problems faced by industry

These codes, standards, and regulations arenecessary requirements for the installation and building safety of hardware, though our projectconsists of making a prototype rather than a complete installation. The applicable codes are theInternational Building Code (IBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Life SafetyCode (LSC), and the Underwriter Laboratories Certification for access control standardrequirements. Otherwise, all ACM, IEEE, and applicable ethics codes are followed. Lastly, we researched the major components that make up typical control access systems,leading our team to the creation of viable design solutions.

worktogether to generate solutions to complex problems. In this context, by fusing two elements,“collaboration” and “laboratory”, the word “collaboratory” suggests the construction of a spacewhere people explore collaborative innovations8. The proposed space for the Design GraphicsCollaboratory9 is shown in Figure 3. The ten flat tables, with four chairs surrounding each table,enable students to interact face-to-face while they work on their design projects using self-suppliedlaptops. The instructor’s podium is in the center, so that the instructor becomes a facilitator withaccess to all tables, rather than a lecturer at the head of the room. Surrounding the studio areprojector screens showing instructional content, and equipment for design

Facultyare encouraged to share the grading rubric with students as well as the grade brake-down for eachpart of the rubric. Not all team designs will cover all area, so students should know it is acceptableto self-assess some as “not applicable”. Yet again, if many areas are left blank or claimed to beN/A, then the students should know there work is lacking. Having a detailed rubric aligned withABET descriptions helps ease the burden of data collection and improves the overall quality of theassessment.Appendix A has example of laboratory report rubric and report template provided

the relevance of the skills being taught in the course. To address thisfeedback, the instructor chose to make significant changes to the design of the course. In the firstiteration of the course design, class time was devoted largely to instructor-led demonstrationsand student practice limited to the laboratory sections of the course. Pedagogically, theseparation rested on the assumption that students would need to have these skills modeled by anexpert before they could apply it for themselves in the lab sections.

Students liked much about the approach, finding the student instructors“personable”, “friendly”, and “approachable”, but students also found the student instructorsamateurish and inexperienced, making comments related to unpreparedness, disorganization, andunclear expectations. Suggestions included having the professor lead the course and having thestudent instructors as secondary instructors. The model in this paper differs from the Kendall andWilliams model in that the professor remains the main instructor and only about one-fourth ofthe lectures are delegated to students with the professor providing oversight and collaboration.Bailey [2] used a peer-teaching pedagogy in a laboratory course.

We present a laboratory project designed to stress this point to students taking a first-year graduate introduction to microsystems. The pilot group found the results surprising andcounter-intuitive. It appears that the project was instrumental in clarifying key concepts inmicrofluidics.
