They concluded that “designing engineering laboratoryeducation based on well-developed pedagogical theory can lead to better learning outcomes."Team based learning (TBL) is an educational technique widely used in engineering curricula. Asignificant number of studies in the literature discuss the merits of TBL. For instance, McInerneyand Fink showed that student exam scores greatly improved once a team-based group projectwas introduced to the curriculum [13], whereas Michaelsen and Sweet implemented a TBLcourse and based their structure on the idea that there are four practical elements of TBL [14]:strategically-formed permanent teams

that students benefit fromusing CPI. Not only are students exposed to developmentally appropriate and personally salientcomputer science-related content aligned with educational standards, but they also experience asignificant increase in their attitudes towards computer science activities, particularly thoseinvolving computer programming and computational thinking. In this way, CPI is highly scalable,having the potential to reach a broad audience of learners by curating content from an integratedset of educational resources and thus also orienting a future generation of students towards careersin computer science and related fields.

oftheir respective tones.Analyzing the frequency spectra of sounds requires a method for separating out the componentfrequencies of a complex waveform. The Fourier transform is one such method that is commonlyused in various signal processing applications to transform time domain data to frequency domaindata. However, the Fourier transform is a complex mathematical operation involving a difficult tocompute integral over all time, which quickly becomes challenging with complex soundwave data.Thankfully, there are discrete Fourier transform algorithms that use numerical methods to quicklycompute the frequency spectra of a finite signal. In particular, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)algorithm provides an incredibly fast method for computing

ParticipantsThis study was conducted at a large mid-western university in a sophomore-level Systems Analysisand Design course. This course guides students in applying methods and models to the process ofdesigning computer information systems. Students use techniques from Unified ModelingLanguage in particular, along with object-oriented modeling tools for describing functions, actors,structures, behaviors, hierarchies, dependencies, and workflow transitions [16]. In addition, thecourse places a strong emphasis on the development of teamwork skills using an agilemethodology and scrum techniques. Other skills included in the course curriculum are cost-benefitanalysis, project documentation, and fact-finding. The course design has been subject to

In any case, exposure to flywheels in undergraduate educationprepares engineering students for practical use-cases in industry. Additionally, a flywheel system doesnot act alone, but rather incorporates sensors, transducers, actuators, and various algorithms whichfurther enrich its capabilities to be used in an undergraduate engineering curriculum. This paperpresents the use of a flywheel system at a major university. From the information presented, the readershould be able to take the concepts listed and apply them to their unique instructional roles.Pedagogical Context

codes. First, codes are abstract, and professionals must use their judgementto assess and make decisions not necessarily covered by a code [8]. Second, there is thepossibility that codes will place an obstruction between personal professional conduct andpersonal values, beliefs, truth, conscience, etc… which challenge a person’s integrity [9].Finally, written codes are fundamentally disciplinary by nature and are not inspirationaledicts to guide a professional to achieve good ethical decisions [10]. Character education isan alternative approach to these challenges endemic to current ethical code education.Character education through virtue provides a more effective method to inspire engineers andwill assist them in making better ethical

Tools likeBloom’s taxonomy can be utilized to characterize learning objectives for lesson planning andlarger curriculum development.

Replicating GDT and tolerances from an existing plan arguablyfalls into entry level domains of Knowledge, where students memorize symbols and can recallthe steps needed to create a drawing in the assigned CAD package.A common exercise in GDT education is to translate a sentence describing a condition to theappropriate symbols. This illustrates the consistency and accuracy of standardized GDT symbols.An example sentence
instruction by providing an organizational framework of current motivation principles. A validated and reliable survey instrument, the MUSIC Inventory, was developed that was based on the MUSIC Model. Although not widely used in Engineering programs, this instrument may have increasing utility in coming years given the strong emphasis on student engagement. In Spring Semester 2022, we gave the MUSIC Inventory to 35 first-year engineering students at Michigan Technological University using a pre/post course method. As described in a forthcoming paper in Frontiers in Education 2022, the preceding semester we had a larger sample size (n = 300) but utilized a post-course only assessment to validate the motivation model factor

There is extensivework in the education literature on using LCA as a learning tool for engineering students;Burnley et al. emphasize the method as an “ideal opportunity for students to develop and applyboth quantitative and qualitative skills” [16]. A sustainability course including juniors andseniors of various engineering majors incorporated LCA to enhance nontechnical perspectives instudents’ engineering practices [17]. A module offered to civil engineering students in Australiademonstrated that students had misconceptions about environmental sustainability before takingthe course but rated it as an important issue afterward [18]. Using LCA for sustainable andrenewable energy education provides “better integration of the economic
the effectiveness of these reflections inimproving students’ learning.Claussen & Dave [15] used EAR (by [14]) in an introductory electrical circuits course fornon-majors to study the impact of including an incentivized post midterm-exam reflection onstudent’s final exam performance. Study students were divided into control and intervention(EAR) groups; extra credit was provided on two mid-terms for working extra problems(control) or completing reflections (EAR group). The authors found no statisticallysignificant improvement in performance on the final exam for either group or differencebetween groups.Clark and Dickerson [16] studied the impact of using an adapted EAR exercise thatincorporated SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated

As outlined by ABET (Accrediting Board for Engineeringand Technology) in General Criterion 5: Curriculum, students should have “a culminating majorengineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards andmultiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work”(ABET, 2021).
