During thesummer, we learned about each other through stories, examined many different typesof stories and storytelling, and learned about active learning and how this pedagogycan be used to enhance engagement in an engineering classroom. In addition toattending trainings, students had to complete assignments designed to help themcraft their personal stories as well as lesson plans for Phase 2. In Phase 2 (Fall2020), RE3 Student Trainers taught a storytelling module to over 300 first-yearengineering students enrolled in a course called ENGR 102: Freshman Academy. Inthis storytelling module, Student Trainers taught first-year students about storytelling,shared their personal stories, and guided first-year students in storytelling

Our full-day virtualevent tackled current pediatric healthcare topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic, such asmentioned below. The 12-hour event began with an introductory lecture regarding the BioDesignprocess [10], then grouped students and healthcare workers into multidisciplinary teams based ontheir healthcare topic of interest. The teams then identified the problem, generated a solution, andgenerated a business and engineering plan to execute their solution. Teams were categorized intofive topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic: school reintegration, pediatric mental health,telemedicine/remote care, ensuring families

One of the goals of this paper is to introducethe “remote quantum experiments” which not only addresses the equipment and space limitchallenges but also developing some strategic plans for sharing the facility with other users andinstructors outside of the institute.

. Even if the program is strong, there is no substitute for experience, knowledge, and sound preparation. In the preparation period, it is necessary to carefully plan and coordinate all accreditation- and assessment-related issues. Among the eight accreditation criteria, an awareness of common problem areas, mostly Criteria 2 and 3, is useful. A list of possible questions that can be asked by a program evaluator is provided for the campus visit phase of the process. For the post-visit period, a program should be aware of how ABET resolves consistency issues across institutions and across programs within a single institution. Finally, proper perspective is needed if ABET finds one or more weaknesses or deficiencies. Based on what we have seen

Given that our design is supposed to be as noninvasive as possible, we decided to take an “exoskeleton” approach to designing the product. We designed the CAD of the joints Figure 1: 3D Solidworks models of as configurations in Solidworks, so that if primary design the sizes needed to be modified, it could be done without needing to make a whole new product from scratch, with only one dimension changed. Each joint works the same way, so the only modifications between this and the other fingers are the sizes of the

.  College students as a future workforce need to be prepared in these autonomous vehicle fields.  Electric golf carts, with much simpler systems than a real car, are a perfect choice for education.   The purpose of this project is to convert an electric Club Car golf cart into a test platform for  deep learning algorithms. The deep learning algorithms for path planning/searching and  self-driving will eventually lead to an autonomous golf cart (AGC) that can navigate the campus  of Eastern Michigan University. We will integrate peripheral sensors such as Lidar, GPS, IMUs,  and control systems to the golf cart. The original golf cart’s mechanical chassis is the control  system’s foundation.
