this CAD integration process, a survey was assembled and emailed to all PurdueUniversity MET faculty members in September, 2001 by one of the authors. The CAD softwarepackages included in the survey included: IronCAD™, AutoCAD™ 4, Pro/E, Solid-Edge™ 5,Solid-Works™ 6, and Catia™ 7. This survey requested input on the faculty member’s overallinterest level in CAD software relative to their teaching and/or applied research, their presentspecific CAD software utilization, their future anticipated CAD utilization, any corporate interestin specific CAD software packages expressed to the faculty member, and requested their inputrelative to which CAD software packages they would recommend if we had to choose two.

of putting this assignment to practicaluse, where it may actually be helpful beyond the classroom.” Another group commented,“There was a clear and useful purpose in mind. Regardless if our suggestions will ever be used,at least we did something that could potentially help someone.” As instructors it may be easy toforget that students have an inherent desire to be useful and appreciated, the same as theirinstructors. Much of our classroom and laboratory teaching does not tap into that inherentmotivation. One of the unintentional benefits of this project was seeing some of the studentsapproaching this project as something beyond themselves and their required course work. Thiswas also evidenced by an engineering team who stated, “...the work

Each bookwas sponsored by one faculty member, who led the book discussion laboratory for that book andgraded the resulting papers. Students ranked their interest in the books, with the majority ofstudents receiving their first or second choices. In addition to buying and reading their elected book, students also read The Right Thingto Do: An ethics guide for engineering students, a book on ethics written specifically for thisaudience by Aarne Vesilind [4].

Itis a three-hour, one unit course that meets for 10 weeks and is taught in a lecture/activity format.The mission of the course is to teach engineering students about the wide array of processes thatcomprise the metal casting industry. This is done through a combination of traditional lecture,interactive computer tutorials/ case studies, traditional foundry lab experiences and the use ofCAD/CAM systems to produce CNC milled patterns and AM produced patterns and molds.Our engineering programs are hands-on. We firmly believe that the educational experiences aregreatly enhanced by projects and the making of things.

The goal of this project was to assess the efficacy of the C Map techniquethrough mentor-mentee interactions.The primary objective of this project was: 1. Increase students’ capacity to engage in “real world” problem solving: The fundamental goal of this program was to initiate critical thinking amongst the students. The students were motivated to apply the knowledge gained in the lectures during the laboratory sessions. 2. To better retain and engage underrepresented students: The mentoring sessions had mentees from diverse backgrounds and the mentors conducted the sessions with such a varied group and instilled the principles of equality, discipline

Student Feedback At the end of Spring 2014 and midway through Spring 2017 semesters, surveys were conducted to obtain feedback from twenty-six students in 2014 and twenty-three students in 2017. These surveys contained questions concerning the flipped-lab pedagogy, the NI myDAQ measurement module, and the Multisim circuit simulation software. Nine opinion questions and four open- ended questions were included in the survey. The nine opinion questions were the following: 1. I feel that the format of this course improved my overall learning compared to a traditional laboratory course. 2. I feel that the format

Therefore, it is essential to provide engaging learningopportunities, such as simple laboratory experiments, to boost student motivation. Students are oftenengaged when given the opportunity to participate in hands-on or experiential learning activities.Kolb9 reports that the personal and environmental experiences of experiential learning lead to anincrease in knowledge about the topic. Others10 have noted the impact of this form of learning inregards to passive, lecture style teaching. A study by Specht and Sanlin11 discussed how
