the fundamentals ofembedded systems and IoT.” Some other student responses to this question are as follows.“developing real world work”,“The professor really helped us in anyway she could.”Next, the students were asked “Did you understand what was expected of you in this course?”. Inresponse to this question, 50% replied Extremely well, 25% Well and 25% reasonably well. As areply of the question “Were you adequately prepared in the prerequisite course to take this course?”, 50% response was Extremely Well, 25% replied Well and 25% students responded poorly.5 ConclusionsIn this paper, I presented some laboratories that the students conducted using a remote simulationtool: Tinkercad. The pedagogical approach of remote teaching was briefly

This application, which addressed Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET)’s Criterion 3 and Criterion 5c, was implemented in a four-credit hour(ch) senior-level applied fluid mechanics course, with a 3ch lecture and 1ch laboratorycomponent. The course is the second in fluid mechanics’ sequence and covers topics likepipeline systems design, pump selection, flow of air in ducts, lift and drag, etc. The originalinstructional design used a blend of traditional in-class lectures and problem-based learningfocused on project-based and other laboratory exercises.To further improve the students

More specifically, these topics are often considered tangential to coreengineering topics, and are therefore relegated to breadth requirements for coverage, if at

social motive can be built explicitly or implicitly. Team projectassignments can be an explicit social motive, and the informal atmosphere can be an implicitway to promote social interaction. Intrinsic motive can be conducted through theimprovement and completeness of laboratory practices, assignments, and projects. Extrinsicmotive can be achieved by offering incentives like rewards, such as extra points, prizes,certificates, etc. CIM believes that only with strong capabilities as a basis, a student’s innovation can beinspired under the guidance of intrinsic or extrinsic motives. CIM systematically integratesthe teaching elements commonly applied in system engineering courses, such as learning-by-doing and innovative skills into give a
only one semester. A goal is to expand to fall and springwith the same cohort of university students, but that seems to be a constraint as some studentscan only take the class one semester. Another challenge is when to start the engagement in theelementary school. The local school district has teaching time and materials requirements andaligning the best day for the outreach engagement can be a challenge. Working with the schoolson designated outreach days has been successful; however, the schedule may not always alignwith the university students’ schedules. Some of the more positive opportunities are to bringmore elementary students to campus to participate in hands-on learning at the design studio laband to visit research laboratories. This

These results indicate that although teachers see thesignificance of funds of knowledge in engineering, the teachers and teaching practices are stillembedded in a deficit-oriented educational structure that may prevent some of these changesfrom occurring.IntroductionWith the emergence of the Next Generation Science Standards [1], middle school teachershave been called to integrate engineering into their classes. However, there has been littlediscussion on how middle school teachers can be supported to effectively adopt instructionalpractices that combine both asset
