technology has not only made it possible to nearly fly anyobject, regardless of shape, but also allows anyone be able to pick up the controller and fly anyquadcopter. The processor planned for this project comes equipped with a 3 axis gyroscope thatwill do automatic leveling and consistent flight patterns7. Even with this advance in technology,the frame’s balance must still be analyzed carefully, making sure that all components of any majormass, excluding the motors, be as centralized inside the body as possible. The suggested designframe is an entry level racing frame that has a mounting system pre designed making it possible tohave a micro camera mounted and turning the quadcopter into a first person view (FPV) or drone.All components have been

While the course discussed here is only a small start, looking to the workof others, there are opportunities for greater integration of topics such as ethics, sustainability, andsocial justice into core engineering courses. 7 Students at this institution currently have access to achapter of Engineers Without Borders USA.

For instance, 40 percent of crude oiland around 25 percent of natural gas Vietnamese companies produce together with theirRussian partners; the largest Russian and Vietnam oil producing companies signed aMemorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate their joint work. In 2015, other importantdocuments were signed, specifically a Plan of Investment, an MoU on revamping the powerplants in Vietnam, an agreement between railway companies, and others.4However, even after critical documents have been signed by both parties, it is important toconsider different aspects of establishing

model approach to 1) assess the potential of educationalinnovations for sustainable scalability and 2) for those innovations assessed to be promising, to developa transition plan to move them forward to widespread adoption. Thus, the expected outcomes of thisexploratory project are two-fold: (1) enable the project team to effectively assess the potential of theirinnovation for sustainable scalability, and (2) identify a path by which promising innovations can garnerbroad acceptance, i.e., implementation or adoption.Both I-Corps™ and I-Corps™ L are based on Steve Blank’s Lean Start-Up approach (28, 29). Duringthe course, participants engage in extensive customer discovery, conducting at least 100 interviews withpotential adopters, collaborators

Developing NSNTcourses is essential to meeting the needs of industry in the region – and beyond – to provide muchneeded education and training for engineers.This paper describes an NSF-funded project to establish a nanoscience and nanotechnology(NSNT) program at UND. The project aims to foster new interest in nanoscience andnanotechnology among UND STEM students from a multidisciplinary perspective. Faculty fromElectrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, and Physicsare actively involved in preparing and delivering the NSNT course content. This

in public speaking.Regarding things to improve for future implementations of the module, some studentscommunicated that they would have liked to have worked on the project for a longer period oftime, perhaps to the point of creating prototypes for their design concepts. While this may not bepractical in the context of this particular course, it may be feasible in the courses of otherinstructors who adopt the module. This desire to continue working on the project beyond theoriginally planned scope also indicates that many students were engaged in EML. Otherconstructive comments from students that can be used to improve the module include addingmore design restrictions, targeting other symptoms or diseases, and the general need for

Lack of comfort with the open-endedness of a design project. Military leadership provides missions and objectives to subordinates. Subordinates develop their own mission plans and objectives and push to the next subordinate level. The process continues downward until it reaches the lowest level. With the exception of coordinating certain elements, the method of mission accomplishment is open-ended. This provides lower military units with the flexibility to adapt and accomplish the objectives in whatever manner they see fit. 3. Inherent reluctance of students to begin

We plan to conduct two sets of surveys: One from students who completed the DSP class in spring 2015. In this course, the dedicated DSP hardware was used. As a comparison, we will also obtain surveys from students who will complete the DSP class in spring 2016. In this course, the MCU-based DSP hardware will be used.

These excellent evaluations along withvery positive student comments reveal that the students’ understanding, interest, and enthusiasmfor nanoelectronics and electronic conduction phenomena was greatly enhanced, making this“Bottom-Up” approach very effective in improving EE undergraduate students’ fundamentalknowledge of electronic conduction phenomena. Based on these initial assessment results, it isconcluded that incorporating Purdue University’s new “Bottom-Up” approach in our EEundergraduate curriculum is successful, and we plan to continue using it. The authors willcontinue to assess the effectiveness of this new approach in our senior-level EE analogelectronics elective course each future fall semester, going forward.Conclusion

Senior students of both civil engineering andenvironmental engineering majors must take this course in order to graduate. This is a Project-Based-Learning (PBL) course where students work on planning, designing, cost estimating,scheduling and preparing a comprehensive report and final presentation for a real-world industryproject. This course is normally taken after the CIE 401. It encompasses almost all of the ABETlearning outcomes (a-k or 1-6) and, hence, engineering professionalism and ethics is covered inthe course in order to better prepare the graduating civil and environmental engineering class

Additionally, the study of identity formation has proven useful in understandingpersistence in other domains23. This framework for measuring identity has been establishedthrough large scale studies in physics and mathematics18,22.Traditional roles for students create patterns for access to engineering professions and identity.While non-normative students bring many skills to engineering disciplines such as managing,planning, organizing, coordinating communications, and being cognizant of differentperspectives in group decision-making, these features are not always recognized as
