Laboratory Course Development Story Matthew S. Kuester Computer Science, Engineering, and Physics Department University of Mary Hardin-Baylor AbstractFluid mechanics laboratory is a common component of mechanical engineering curricula, becausehands-on experiments allow students to experience key fluid mechanics principles (such as fluidstatics, Bernoulli’s equation, and conservation of energy) in a meaningful way. Establishing a newlaboratory course provides a unique set of challenges (building and selecting new equipment) andpossibilities (creating engaging, practical learning experiences for students).This paper

with most things of a complex nature there are many problems that we maynot foresee. In doing our best to avoid these issues, diligent planning and research-basedsolutions will be utilized to provide students with an environment that is conducive tocollaborative learning. While the development of 3-D modeling skills and spatial ability areintegral to this project it is important to keep in mind that at the heart of the ABLE project is thedevelopment of a collaborative learning experience that can potentially help us addresschallenges we face as a global community.Figure 1Community Water TankFigure 2Automated Milk Line REFERENCESAllen, D.

students approach engineering problems in the workplace.This study has been limited thus far by a small sample size of students, which will likely increaseas the course is offered each year. Additionally, future work will aim to identify how the courseimpacts students’ entrepreneurial mindsets and career goals long-term in their senior capstoneprojects. As the course gains interest among engineering students, this study will also aim tounderstand how different engineering majors are influenced by the course activities.References[1] B. Schadl, S.

It is not uncommon inPhD or Master’s programs for students to take on graduate teaching assistant positions. Thisexperience is often considered as preparation for holding an academic position in highereducation. Therefore, it is reasonable at this stage for graduate students to be exposed to EBIPsthrough some form of training. This type of coaching may prepare

These sessions, moreover, were designed such that mentor(s) responded to theinterests and needs of the REM students in what we called a “Mr. Roger’s” fashion – inviting a friendof theirs to talk with the students for a little while about an interest they expressed (i.e., EngineersWithout Borders).Interactive Talks with Industry Professionals. The purpose was to give the REM students insight intothe daily life of an engineer working in the energy sector and hear what they are doing around all thedifferent energy sources (e.g., gas, oil, wind, solar), and how their companies are innovating
opportunities that are being offered to students. We alsoidentified gaps in communication and professional development areas of the curriculum whichcould better match what employers and alumni identified as key skills required to perform jobduties. We suggest a more formal peer and committee-based mentorship which could focus onimproving skills as one potential solutions, or development of special courses designed to teachwriting or communication skills.References1.
