-cost and versatile hardware kit for a remote first-year mechanical engineering design classI. IntroductionEngineering design courses with hands-on laboratories are a critical component of an engineeringundergraduate curriculum. In particular, incorporating design courses early has been shown tohelp with retention rates in engineering, as well as with improved ability of students to solve open-ended problems [1, 2]. These courses have also shown student progress in academic achievementby helping to build confidence in their engineering skills, and by expanding their perspective onproblems and solutions [3, 4]. Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Design is an introductorylevel course, usually taken by

aseither an undergraduate or graduate student, and asked respondents to rate their experiences on ascale of 1 to 4, where 1 indicates a “poor experience, decreased my overall confidence ofsucceeding in structural engineering” and 4 indicates a “great experience, increased my overallconfidence of succeeding in engineering”. The most popular courses (as reported in Table 8)among the survey respondents were structural analysis and earthquake engineering. Senior(capstone/integrated) design, finite element analysis and foundation engineering were given thelowest ratings. The finding that capstone design was unpopular was somewhat surprising, but thesurvey questions did not allow us to uncover reasons behind these responses.Table 8. Respondents’ ratings

Students’capability of working effectively in engineering teams is cognizant among employers in industrywho seek to hire new talent into their organizations [2]–[4]. One of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) student outcome criteria is to have the ability to functioneffectively in high performing teams. This requires universities to better prepare students withteamwork skills and to incorporate teamwork as an important part of engineering curriculum [5]In today’s world of engineering, companies are shifting towards working in larger team sizes dueto the complexity of solving engineering problems [6]–[8].

However, withflourishment of global collaboration in various engineering classrooms and best educationalpractices being replicated across cultures, there are not many curriculum interventions thatoriginate from students’ diverse cultural needs. When cultural differences are ignored, studentsmay get culturally biased grades and face confusion and difficulties. For instance, the notion of“disruption” and “breakthrough” in product design innovation is

as these and present solutions for such challenges through acombination of technology and approach to teaching.1. introductionA primary goal of engineering education is to provide students with requisite technicalgrounding along with practice and experience in the design and evaluation of real andpractical systems. This goal becomes increasingly difficult with the expanding body ofknowledge, integration of concepts across disciplines, and complexity of design toolsneeded in engineering industries.1 While an expert/apprentice model of education maybe more fitting to preparing engineers for professional practice, traditional instructionmodels include in-person lectures covering fundamental technical concepts with thebulk of practice and

relatively new feature of HCD modes of contextualization, butthis emphasis on the bigger picture is a cornerstone of other approaches to contextualizingengineering education. Appreciating complex interactions not only between designers and users,but also between engineers themselves, other human and non-human actors, and broader socialand cultural factors is an important aspect of a mode of contextualization that we describe associotechnical thinking. In this mode, contextualization is a key aspect of curriculum because ithelps students to understand what engineering is: namely, that engineering work is asociotechnical endeavor [10], [38]. Educators who practice this type of contextualization pursue“sociotechnical integration” as a learning outcome

Roboticsis an interdisciplinary field that incorporates the integration of many systems in software,electronics, control systems, actuators and sensors. The Robotics of today imparts the mostimportant attributes such as the nature of motion, the motions available to rigid bodies and the useof kinematic constraints to organize motion. Because the growing field of Robotics covers manyareas of EET education we decided we would develop curriculum for an introductory course inRobotics.

Statics’ position early in the curriculum for many engineering majorsresults in it being one of the first courses where students must synthesize knowledge gained inprerequisite math and physics coursework and apply it to higher-level analytical problemsolving. In addition to the technical skills emphasized in the traditional course content, students’ability to self-assess and regulate their own learning (i.e. metacognition) becomes increasinglyimportant. As Grohs (2015) writes in reference to Statics: Though the written learning outcomes of a typical undergraduate mechanics course may be exclusively technical, the timing and nature of the course in the overall scheme of an engineering curriculum position it as a course that also

Assessing Grassroots Engineering Applications in BrazilIn Brazil, service learning or community service is an integral part of every university’sfundamental duties, along with teaching and researching. The type of learning or service to beprovided, however, depends on the hermeneutics applied, which can either lead to groupempowerment and socio-technical change or to mere paternalism.In the early 2000s, during the two terms of Lula as president of Brazil, many community service/service-learning teams were established and institutionalized, linked to engineering courses andfaculty members. From the conjugation of social technology and solidarity economy movements,some of these teams developed a form of engineering practice that is now called
