in undergraduate student retention. Where innovation spaces help foster entrepreneurship and industry partnerships, research spaces play an integral and direct role in classwork. They help turn the theoretical into the physical, and allow lower-level students to translate book learning into hands-on exploration and imagination along with the opportunity to help solve real-world challenges at both local and global scales. These spaces also encourage collaboration among students and faculty and help break down barriers both within the hierarchy of a single field and across engineering disciplines. For faculty, they also accommodate a growing interest in continuing research and engaging with students in hands-on work to complement

Throughincorporating elements of software integration in the user interface and a motor controlstructure, the development of this project encompasses a wide range of the team members’acquired skills. The unit allows a user to scan an item and add it to a specific physical locationwhich is then stored in a database on the microcontroller. When retrieving said item, the usersimply makes a selection on the generated list on the touch screen display causing the motorto drive the carousel to the location in which the item is stored. The data is stored in an SQLdatabase which is also available on a developed smartphone

These are the additional outcomes that can beachieved through custom design. Soldering skills are another additional outcome. Using a custom board designed for studentsto assemble in lab provides an extended period of time to improve surface mount and throughhole soldering skills. It is still possible to integrate soldering into a course using a commercialPLD board by giving students an add-on board to assemble. This may be a convenient alterna-tive to achieve the same goal. The impacts of soldering and assembly on time and quality withcustom boards is discussed in

A project of successivevocational training of engineers has been developed at Kazan National ResearchTechnological University (KNRTU) to meet this challenge. KNRTU is uniquely positioned toaddress this need. Firstly, it has a well-developed multilevel vocational training system thatincludes bachelor, master and postgraduate programs, as well as vocational retraining andfurther education for both lecturers and industry specialists. Secondly, it organizes an efficienteducational process integrated with the research conducted in its laboratories and researchcenters. Thirdly, it provides many networking and

These courses provided students with theopportunities to learn and practice real-world software engineering, and gain experiences insolving multidisciplinary practical problems. Furthermore, these courses help students to attainseveral ABET student outcomes that are difficult to accomplish via traditional lecture-based andlab-based courses, such as (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, (i) arecognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning, and (j) a knowledge ofcontemporary issues.These

He indicated that after the restructuring of the course, he did not have thetime or flexibility in the curriculum that he felt is needed in order to implement IC as a required,in-class program.Further, the elementary school teachers also discussed how they appreciate the opportunities theprogram offers, such as providing an integrated STEM experience and allowing students andteachers to move beyond the confines of their regular classroom and curriculum

Thus, it was important to find a venue where the implementation ofentrepreneurial content would not be too abrupt for the students and to implement the content insmall quantities that would be palatable to instructors and students. In other words, we felt itimportant to tread lightly and conduct a minimally-invasive study, which, of course, does preventany attempt at extensive

It is estimated that 20 – 50%of first-year college students enter college as “undecided” about their major[7]. In order toprovide first-year engineering students time to discern, a set of resources and course activitieswere created and assessed in an introduction to engineering course.
