Using it to show correlationsbetween what is taught and what will be encountered in the real world gives the student the toolsto continue to accept the educational system as a valuable activity. Allowing students to quicklyformulate plans and even more quickly build the designs in in-class activities gives them thechance to see design at work and keeps alive the connection with other courses.Out-of-class design activities allow students to create within environments of their ownselection.

To test the validity ofthis assumption, the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department (MET) atIndiana University - Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI), instituted, in the fall of 1999, areview test for students beginning a Thermodynamics II course. The test was made up of sixquestions on basic differential and integral calculus and four questions on basic thermodynamics.These represented the course’s two prerequisites and all questions were multiple choice. Theaverage scores for the students over an eight semester period were 46.6% for the mathematicsand 38.3% for the thermodynamics, with a 43.3% overall. Clearly, retention has been limited.

Consequently, this reaction was deemedsuitable for an undergraduate experiment because it meets several important criteria: • The reagents are cheap and reasonably safe, with water acting as the solvent. • Quantitative results can be obtained with a fairly simple analytical method. • The kinetics are known10. • Imperfect mixing has an effect on product distribution that is straightforward to quantify and explain.The experiment will be integrated into a junior course on Chemical ReactionEngineering in the Spring 2002 semester

In an undergraduate engineering curriculum verticalintegration has previously been used to improve student engagement through concurrent teachingand utilization of the concepts. More specifically, in an engineering design course a combinationof professional, ethical, technical, or communication skills are both taught and used [7, 8]. Vertical integration can give students exposure to design skills prior to a fourth yearcapstone project; yet, it does not inherently provide a context for the experience.

Therefore, the educator must find solutions that satisfythe educational needs of the students, incorporate the new knowledge, and accomplish all thesewith a restricted number of credit hours.3. Proposed SolutionWe propose the embedded method of instruction. The basic philosophy of this method is thesplitting of an area into sub-areas and introduce the sub-areas into different standard courses thatexist in the curriculum.

Not surprisingly, thishomogenous and heterogenous perspective leads to pedagogical practices in which minoritizedstudents underperform compared to when innovative pedagogical models are used, such asflipped classrooms [8], [9]. This long-standing conceptualization of science and scientists alsoresults in an engineering curriculum that deems “issues of communication, justice

In order to introduce robotics and cyber-physicalsystems earlier in the curriculum, we have developed an interface to allow students to remotelycontrol a wireless microcontroller (e.g., Arduino MKR 1010) using MATLAB. This interfacecomprises two halves: 1) a MATLAB class that abstracts UDP commands transmitted over Wi-Fi, and 2) a custom C++ library for receiving, parsing, and responding to commands over UDP,as well as streaming data back to the client. The interface leverages students’ existing knowledgeof MATLAB and bypasses the need for C programming, allowing students to get early exposureto hardware-software

During the early concept generation phase, students oftenbecome fixated on their initial concepts, and may prematurely begin evaluation10, 17, 18. Thisresults in a need for pedagogical strategies to aid students in enriching their conceptual designphase. Instructors must understand how concepts are generated, and how tools can facilitate theexploration of potential design solutions.One challenge in teaching concept generation in engineering is that techniques proven helpful inconcept generation may be slow to be adopted by instructors19-21.
