The current course features a four-week introductory projecton bottle rocket design, completed in teams of 3-4, and a 10-week main project on crane design,completed in teams of 4-5. The teaming aspect of the course is a challenge to engineeringstudents, particularly in that many of them are naturally pre-disposed to prefer working alone.The Let Me Learn (LML) Process is an integrated approach to teaching and learning that startswith administration of the Learning Connections Inventory (LCI), a survey instrument thatassesses individual learning patterns.

Approximately 29 students took part in this program during the summer of 2019,culminating in a presentation to their peers and faculty mentors, and members of the Dean’sAdvisory Board for the school.It is hypothesized that the process and completion of the research or design project through theprogram positively impacted the students’ confidence and self-efficacy. To determine if thehypothesis is true, the students were assessed through a simple survey, the results of which arepresented. In addition, two of the 29 students were asked

Sinceit is taught only to Mechanical Engineering students, the electronics, controls and computerscience elements of Mechatronics at large are simplified by the use of the Arduinomicrocontroller, which is a popular device amongst non-technical hobbyists and artists, and istherefore a perfect gateway for students to gain understanding and appreciation for this type

Using metrics onrequirement quality such as # Critical Types, Grammar, Rules of Expression, Ambiguous Terms,Existing Identifier, and Unexpected Tech Terms, the research question was investigated. Using apoint system to rank requirement quality, it was found that projects that scored more than 44points were successful, while requirements scoring below 40 points were not satisfactory.

Embedded Design in a Sophomore CourseAbstractRecently in academia, a push has emerged to include engineering design early in a student’s coursesequence. The desired result is to captivate the student’s interest in engineering before the student hashad a chance to change majors. Otherwise, the student would not experience the design process until thecapstone courses in the senior year. In this paper, an embedded design project in a sophomore course ispresented. The design project is based on the USB Toolstick from Silicon Laboratories. The USBToolstick is an 8051 series microcontroller that is self contained, economical, and very student friendly.What follows is a discussion of the sophomore course, an overview of the USB Toolstick, and examplesof

Theultimate goal is to graduate better engineers and better citizens. Four of the degree programshave achieved on average one course each semester, with an actual coverage of 103 out of 128semester courses, or 80% coverage over the four years. Of the 32 required courses in theacademic year that had an average of 753 students each semester doing S-L projects related tothe subject matter of the course, 19 of the courses (60%) were considered engineering science,that is, not
