topic.Overall, students were observed to place more care in their experiments than they had in the past.This was especially evident in the final projects, where students took great care to minimizefluctuations in their system’s outputs. Accordingly, average final project scores were a half-letter grade higher than in past semesters (28 students each term; same instructor), reflecting thisincreased care and professionalism. For example, a group optimizing a paper airplane designselected heavy paper as it was found to lead to less fluttering; another group carefully designedtheir “bottle flip” experiment to minimize the human error; another meticulously determined arepeatable condition to test soap bubble lifetime.

There is a growing body of literature pointing to the need forgroups to have so-called “other places”, particularly when working on innovative projects thatmay be counter to the prevailing culture of an organization.24,25 While we do not claim that thisactivity strictly follows the models that have been reported around corporate intrapreneurship,we do believe some of the benefits seen by groups working in these other places similarly helpedour time of reflection and planning.

. Student were asked to reflect on how intellectually stimulating the MatLab projects were,with a rating of 1 being “not very stimulating”, a rating of 3 being “just right” and 5 being “toomuch”. The overall results were mediocre, with an average score of 3.10 ± 0.71. We believe thisis because students equate intellectual stimulation with difficulty. Intellectual stimulation isdefined as being encouraged to innovate and be creative, as well as encouraged to critical thinkand problem-solve. Intellectual stimulation involves arousing students’ thoughts and imagination[8]. However students tend to think that more thought means more work and thus an increasedlevel of difficulty. When comparing the results of asking students about the difficulty level

The intimateinvolvement of both instructors and mentors is absolutely essential during this phase to reassurestudents of their capabilities, to assuage worries about grading versus learning, and to encouragepersistence. Thus the vital role of healthy-functioning teams is clearly evidenced in promotingstudent success.Managing Large EnrollmentsOur chemical engineering undergraduate enrollment has continued to grow unrelentingly from alow of 175 in 2005 to repeated historic records each of the past five years with a currentenrollment of almost 450 undergraduates. This growth has expectedly been reflected in a surgein freshman enrollment (from 30-40 students in 2005) to an enrollment of 175 in the fall 2015semester

For example, at room temperature, if the RFID antenna is required 2ftof antenna to antenna distance, the best distance between tag and the antenna is 3ft for the bestdetection rate. At the higher temperature, T = 130°F, if the tag is located 4ft away from thereading antenna, 4ft of antenna distance or DCA = 2ft is the best for the maximum reading rate.There are couple of limitations. First, the environmental temperature is simulated using smallbox and only the tag is inside of the box while the antennas are outside. This implies that onlythe tag is affected by the temperature, while the reflected signal from the passive tag is partiallyaffected. In other word

noted, students in the orbitalmechanics class are from two different tracks (aeronautics or astronautics) as well as differentclass years (juniors and seniors). While these students have shared aspects of their curricularexperiences, they have not taken all of the same core technical courses together. The separationscourse, on the other hand, is a class of chemical engineering juniors who have shared their entiredisciplinary coursework. Thus, the variability in their experiences with respect to instructor andchemical engineering curriculum is negligible. This may reflect why the chemical engineeringcourse showed no statistically significant results, and the relatively small variability in answersobserved. In fact, all students in the

Example of detecting both lane boundary lines on the same wall.Issues that need to be solved include (1) failure to detect lane boundaries due to the gradientbetween the baseboard and its reflection on the floor being below the detection threshold; (2)incorrect steering actions when only one lane boundary is detected; and (3) S pattern or zig-zagsteering actions when the PlayStation Eye camera is off-center or

problem-solving and the skills necessary to useprogramming to solve real-world problems. We believe that learning a second language helps toaccomplish this goal, as it demonstrates to students that the connection between programmingand problem-solving is not language dependent, but rather that it revolves around a core set ofskills. Additionally, students are exposed to the idea that they can apply these skills to newprogramming languages. As the final exam was undertaken in MATLAB, the students in AIDEgroups could not observe a direct link between the project and preparing for the final. Thisobservation may reflect perceptions on behalf of the students that the course is a “MATLAB”course, rather than a more general programming course. In the

In contrast, other participants believethat performing research or experimentation alone makes one a researcher. Some studentsexpressed a temporal aspect to their researcher identity, dependent on their level of activitywithin the research community. This was reflected in comments such as, “[…] I stopped doingresearch at the end of my junior year (I am currently a senior), so I don't really consider myself aresearcher currently […]”.

, conceptual design is considered the most cognitively intensive inthe engineering design process (Kim, 2011). Therefore, throughout the whole design process,students may have engaged in their task differently, behaviorally emotionally and cognitively.Thus, we perceive the videos recording their design processes as temporal data. In order toanalyze such data, we used sequence analysis – a temporal data analysis method (Abbott,1995). Each video was divided into a number of two-minute segments for adequate coding,and each segment was watched and compared with predetermined indicators that reflect thethree types of engagement and thus record the presence of each type of engagement at thesub-group level. Due to space limit of this paper, these indicators

flight.Results and Analysis Made by the StudentsThe work objective of the vibration team for this project was to assemble the inner spool of the 3Dprinted jet engine on the GUNT Hamburg machine, balance it, and then study its vibrations fordifferent faulty bearings through envelope analysis. The team had 6 weeks to conduct theexperiment, collect the data and analyze them, after they complete the setup of the jet engine. Thefaulty bearings were taken from the GUNT machine which has five different faulty bearings (B,C, D, E and F while bearing A has no faults). The difference between the bearings is the locationand severity of the faults, which is reflected in the envelope analysis plots for each bearing. TheGUNT software generated the plots for the
