. One significant observation was the difference in the level ofstudents’ exposure to robotics, which ranged from basic introduction to robotics to moreadvanced levels, wherein the school students have worked with some advanced kits and havetaken part in competitions. This range of exposure showed that a wide gap exists among the areahigh school students which needed to be addressed. One of the ideas put forth was to design a hands-on project for the school students whichwill enable them to learn and program a scaled-down robot incorporating different features. Thisproject was undertaken by two of the students as part of the graduate Intermediate Robotics classproject in Spring 2022. © American Society for

Teamwork can bedaunting for a student with ASD in terms of the social aspects and the organization of a largeassignment with multiple due dates. However, many ASD students are visual learners and dowell with “hands-on” projects, and may just need assistance keeping track of assignments.Faculty members should have direct communication with the students and provideaccommodations with guided group work, a consistent format for assignments, breakingprojects in to smaller assignments, and making slides/lectures available before class.Currently, a freshman engineering class has implemented these adjustments andaccommodations.

Alongside moretraditional chemistry exams, students complete a set of smaller individual projects and asemester-long team-based design challenge. In the design challenge they use the design processto develop a solution to an environmental or health issue of their choosing. While completing theindividual projects, students apply their chemistry knowledge to engineering situations. The teamdesign challenge incorporates the same engineering design process as used in the first yearengineering design course, which many students take concurrently. Prior to

Hands-on laboratory experiments and project-basedexperiences are adopted to introduce and reinforce IoT-related concepts. The laboratoryexperiments introduce the students to (a) the collection of data using temperature and motionsensors (b) program the microcontroller, and (c) to communicate between WiFi-enabledmodules. Rather than using the hardware and software tools from an established vendor in theareas of IoT, we chose to design and assemble our laboratory experiments and projects withsimple, cost-effective, off-the-shelf components.

This presented a unique opportunity to examine the long-term impact of theredesign on student performance in subsequent courses, where some of the skills they acquired inME 100L can be utilized. Surveys were administered to students in select junior- and senior-level courses to determine whether students who took the redesigned ME 100L transferred theirskills to other courses. For example, prior to the redesign students typically learned aboutmicrocontrollers for the first time in their senior year. However, there are ample opportunities forstudents to utilize microcontrollers in class projects in their junior-level courses as well. Theauthors also compare

Embedded Controller Fundamentals andEmbedded Controller Applications. Both courses involve hands-on, project oriented laboratoryexercises. For the embedded controller courses, students are required to purchase a specified low-cost microcontroller evaluation system instead of a textbook. A reasonable priced reference text isrecommended, and students are strongly encouraged to use extensively the online manualsavailable from the microcontroller manufacturer. Among the many benefits that we have identifiedby requiring students to buy their own microcontroller system is that they learn to be more carefulwith safety

This approach may give the impression that teachers are capable ofdeveloping curricular materials, but only engineers are capable of solving authentic engineeringproblems. This “look but don’t touch” model potentially only reinforces the belief, “if I can’t dothis, my students sure can’t.” With this RET model, participants are likely to gain a limitedperspective on authentic engineering practices and less likely to able to convey to their studentswhat engineers actually do.Figure 1: Models of RET sitesWe believe that our RET site has been successful because we have focused on directly linkingthe teachers’ summer engineering research experience with their K-12
