overall communication costs. 2Students are introduced, through a series of laboratory projects, to the development tools anddesign paradigms required to build, deploy, and manage embedded Linux-based IoT Edge Deviceproducts. Students create their own custom Linux image for the laboratory development system,learn how-to configure system services, and build device drivers to interface with sensorhardware. Once students have a functioning system, they learn about common IoT networkprotocols, such as MQTT, WebSockets, and HTTP, looking at both the on-the-wire packet formatsand how to build applications using these protocols. By the end of the course, they will have builta working IoT Edge Device from end-to-end.Laboratory StationsThe laboratory was

UAV education [Sadraey2020]. Sadraey outlines techniques and challenges he discovered while presenting constructiontechniques of UAVs in a traditional classroom setting. Here he states that, “The root cause forthe lack of convergence between UAV education and practical application is the absence ofexperiential learning. The UAV experience requires students to develop skills such as … in datareduction, analysis, communication, and teamwork.”This paper presents the first phase of our experience with a two-phase project addressing theteaching, implementation, and assessment of online active learning modules in undergraduateintroduction to engineering and physics courses designed to engross students in the process ofadvanced manufacturing

We designed our course to cover the Ohio Department of Education’s Physicsstandards and created an interactive, project-based learning course to enable students to experienceand master the use of physics in everyday life. Learning was assessed by a pre/post evaluation ofcontent knowledge, testing on topics, daily assignments, and a final presentation on “applicationof physics in real life.”Community Partnerships Local companies have also expressed the dearth of professionals in STEM fields and seekto diversify their workforce [9, 10].

Who Are the Good Team Players? Richard Bannerot Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Houston AbstractWorking in teams, especially on multidisciplinary projects, is becoming more and morecommon in engineering as well as in other work environments. However, despite theimportance of “team-work” in engineering design, there is little data on thecharacteristics of “good” and “poor” team players. This paper presents preliminaryresults from an ongoing, horizontal study of this issue in two engineering design courses,one at the sophomore level and the other at the senior level

At Baylor University, an “energy core” of technical electives isbeing developed, including courses on wind energy, solar energy, power systems, turbines andcombustion engines. This paper documents the authors’ observations on the use of the TRNSYSsimulation software package in a senior/graduate elective on solar energy. The paper givesexamples of the types of projects students do using TRNSYS, how it can be used in theclassroom, and some suggestions for educators considering its use in future courses.Comparisons are made between projects completed using general-purpose numerical

To meetthis objective, after a detailed orientation, teachers were scheduled to rotate through fourmodules conducted in research laboratories guided by the project faculty and

Feedback was gathered from the studentsvia informal surveys and Student Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs). The course washighly anticipated by the ME students. Two sections were offered in both the Fall 2016 andSpring 2017 semesters; and both sections filled quickly with students requesting additional seatsin the course. Student feedback was mixed.
