on empirical evidence to gain an understanding of how and whythe designed learning works. Thus, our ultimate goal is to utilize the DBR process to developtheories that can be translated into classroom practices to enhance students’ understanding ofscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects while simultaneously inspiringthem to pursue STEM careers. We employ DBR constructs, in the context of a robotics-basedinstructional framework, to support both student and teacher learning in several ways. The use ofrobotics serves to help stimulate an interest in STEM learning for students. In addition, roboticscan help break the silos of the underlying disciplines of STEM to help realize the vision ofintegrating these disciplines. Such

Advances ingeneration (5G) cellular networks - including millimeter software defined radio (SDR) [2] allow instructors to usewave transmission, ultra-wideband wireless less expensive equipment to develop new educationalcommunications, and multiple-input-single-output (MISO) laboratories. For example, some of our teachingantennas – helped develop laboratory experiments for laboratories at Texas A&M University use USB donglesundergraduate engineering students. The experiments not (e.g., DVB-T RTL USB [3]) that act as an SDR receiver,only teach students about 5G technologies, but also how to operating between 50 and 2200 MHz.use real-time spectrum

and supporting software for teaching digitalsignal processing (DSP) concepts to undergraduate electrical and computer engineering students.The proposed approach creates an interactive learning environment based on mobile studiopedagogy. A series of studio projects have been developed, each of which requiresimplementation and testing of DSP algorithms on data received by student-owned SDRs. Datasources include signals of opportunity as well as instructor-generated test signals. The result is amobile learning environment in which students can visualize and apply abstract theoreticalconcepts, implement real-time algorithms, and rapidly test their designs using real-world data.IntroductionSoftware-defined radio (SDR) technology has transformed

especiallyimportant due to potential pitfalls surrounding computational modeling. As Lingefjärd [13]documented, masters students building models in a computational environment would lend anunreasonable level of trust to the results of those models. In a sense, computing would ‘takeover’ and students would not engage in critical thinking to critique their own models.Lingefjärd’s studies “confirmed the essential role played by the validation part of mathematicalmodeling when technology is present.” Explicit instruction and practice in validation maycontribute to training students who exercise engineering judgment to wield and consumecomputational models critically.While explicit teaching of modeling is rare in undergraduate education, there does exist
nanotechnologyand the science fiction course read a couple of science fiction literature that used nanotechnologyas one of the main technologies. Lastly, the authors realized that as any technology develops,scientists and engineers ask questions to expand their research that start with “What if thistechnology could...?” Similarly, science fiction authors question current technologies and pushfiction by asking the same sorts of questions. These commonalities summarized in Table 1 ledthe authors to want to challenge their students to see and experience these common themes fromthe perspective of the other field to deepen their experience with the material. The goal was thata deeper experience would enhance student learning
science and engineering has long been an issue, withthe recent focus on how the United States will compete in a global economy, many agree thatbetter educating K-12 students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) iscrucial, although engineering has not been a traditional secondary school option. However, even Page 22.1607.2as some schools have incorporated engineering courses, they struggle with a lack of standards,leadership, and learning assessments 2.

Each team then presents theirconcept, including a prototype and summary documentation, to the community partner.Although community partners can take on-board any concepts or ideas, there is no aim orexpectation that development and implementation work will be carried out as part of theSummit. This is captured in the Summits aims which include supporting community partnersby generating ideas for their project. Other aims include practise and promote two-wayknowledge sharing and embedding people-centred values and approaches in engineering,technology and design

Museum’s CollectionWithin STEM education, a movement called STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art,and Mathematics) is gathering momentum. Yet, while articles abound with ideas forincorporating STEAM concepts into K-12 classrooms, the literature on STEAM education at theuniversity level is scant. Complicating matters is the fact that the “A” in STEAM does notalways stand for “Art”; for example, in one recent ASEE paper that contains the words “STEAMcurricula” in its title, the “A” stands for “Agriculture” [1].However, reflections on STEAM at the university level can be found in a few papers presented atthe 2013 ASEE convention. One, “Faculty reflections on a STEAM-inspired interdisciplinarystudio course,” offers insights on the opportunities
