The project has provided a platform for involving a group of morethan twenty undergraduate students in mathematics, science, engineering and technology(MSET) curricula at University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) in an "out ofclassroom" active learning and exploratory research experience in the field of remotesensing and its applications. The scientific objective of the project includes aerialimaging in the visible and infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, land survey,study of shoreline erosion, research in agricultural land use patterns, and environmentalstudies pertaining to algal blooms in the Chesapeake Bay.

- healthcare engineers due to the fast expanding bioengineering industries. In a project (sponsored by U.S. National Science Foundation), we are developing a new course called ECE 493 Tele-healthcare Computing. This paper reports our lab design and teaching experiences. Especially we will discuss our educational development of medical networks and bio-signal processing. We have designed three class labs on ECG sensor and ECG signal processing. Those class labs are developed from a building-block approach. When we offer the lectures to students, we have used a multi-dimensional approach: Dimension-1: Multi-student-level adaptive materials: To meet different schools’ course setup requirements, we design basic, intermediate and advanced

The success rate of this approach is measured by theperformance and creativity level of the two generations of students/graduates who experiencedthe new environment with both the students/graduates of prior years and students/graduates ofother institutions. The foundation of the proposed model is laid in the first semester of thefreshman year by introduction of a formal course in fundamentals of engineering design andreinforced in the second semester by a course that brings the elements of liberal arts andhumanities into perspective. In the remaining three years of the curriculum, design projects andexercises are strategically incorporated all through the engineering courses - targeting the

While thestudents were encouraged to develop something that might be adopted in future offerings ofstatics, the authors’ main goals were for the students to enhance their own understanding of astatics concept through the curriculum development process and gain a deeper appreciation forthe challenges of designing effective curricula. At the beginning of a summer 2023 offering of mechanics of materials, five studentswere assigned a project to choose a statics concept that they previously struggled with andbrainstorm ways they would want that concept taught to themselves knowing what they knownow.

Analysiscourse. The course uses aspects of both project-based and problem-based learning. Project-basedlearning involves assignments that call for students to produce something, such as a process orproduct design. The culmination of the project is normally a written or oral report summarizingwhat was done and what the outcome was. Dym, et al. say that project-based learning hasproduced many innovations in design pedagogy in engineering education.11 Research suggeststhat these kinds of courses appear to improve retention, student satisfaction, diversity, andstudent learning. In problem-based learning, students, usually working in teams, are confrontedwith an ill-structured open ended real-world problem to solve, and take the lead in defining theproblem
