competency with engineering conceptsand design approaches could focus solely on understanding the basics of how the devicescommunicate and how basic mathematics, such as trigonometry, can be used to develop codethat generates real-world movement. Meanwhile, higher-level courses where students are moreadept at use of instrumentation and component manipulation could incorporate those skills intothe troubleshooting process, or be presented with added challenges requiring motivation ofadvanced theoretical knowledge and laboratory techniques toward development of a feasiblesolution.The literature indicated that, in programs where a project-based approach to design integrationwas adopted, improvements in retention rates, increased student satisfaction

Critically review the institution during the evaluation visit, looking for areas where their programs, activities, and laboratories can compliment those on the home campus. G. Potential for research collaboration One of the more enjoyable aspects of an exchange, other that observing the students making what for most is their first international trip, is the possibility for research collaboration. Carefully evaluate the research potential of their laboratories and their willingness to collaborate in one or more yearly projects. Do not necessarily expect this collaboration to happen immediately. It may take a year or two to develop, but when it
-- and allowing it to guide one’s behaviorThe study of this domain focuses on determining what teaching practices produce the most positiveattitudes or connections to a concept and how feelings and behaviors change throughout theprocess of learning a concept/topic. This domain is harder to study and quantify since it is moreabstract compared to the cognitive domain. Also, it can be hard to separate positive feelingstowards the information and process of learning of a concept versus positive feelings created bygenerally positive social interactions during certain activities, such as during a laboratory session.Thus, our research aims to find general trends based on students' experiences, perceptions, and/orthoughts towards engineering classes and

This course segment requiresstudents to design, fabricate, test, and document a novel design in an application, which is energyharvesting in this paper. There are publications from similar course projects performed in thepast [1-6]. At the conclusion of this course, students are provided with a comprehensiveunderstanding of the practical

The number and kind ofpeople you recruit—their skills, background, and experience, will depend on your funded orpotentially fundable ideas. You will likely spend significant time developing ideas
-Technical IntegrationResearch (STIR) protocol developed by Erik Fisher and team [29]. They developed the STIRprotocol to bring STEM researchers and others, particularly scholars in the humanities and socialsciences, together to explore the broader ethical, political, social, and legal aspects of scientificdecision making in a laboratory context. STIR facilitates “collaborative inquiry betweenembedded humanists or socialscientists and the scientists,engineers and others who host them” Opportunity Elaborations/Alternatives[30].STIR was first adapted for non-laboratory teaching and learningcontexts by Shannon Conley startingin the 2014-2015 academic year.STIR has been used in the classroomfor a variety of group activities

Also based on focus group input about scholars’ interest in pursuing research, CREATEimplemented an undergraduate research experience program. Undergraduate research stipendshave been provided in year 2 to scholars who were interested in exploring research opportunitiesin engineering faculty laboratories. Nine scholars each spent 40 hours during the spring, summerand/or fall 2021 semesters in engineering research laboratories. At the end of each semester anevaluation of the scholars' performance was requested from the faculty research mentors. Theperformance

For example, sessions held in computer labs involve a professor orteaching assistant demonstrating spreadsheet skills or techniques that can be mimicked bystudents. While instructors can give real time feedback in computer laboratories with smallnumbers of students, measuring students’ spreadsheet skills at scale is quite difficult.Alternatively, multiple choice tests can assess spreadsheet skills [10].

content for theircurriculum is most often in the pursuit of a tool that helps their students visualize abstractconcepts [2-4] such as forces [5], molecules [6], electrical charges [7], and their impact on realsystems. In a civil or mechanical engineering setting, AR shows promise as a tool to enablestudents to visualize force and moment vectors [8]. From a pedagogic perspective, thistechnology can be seen as an extension of the laboratory that is not confined to a designatedspace, but can be portable [3].Since AR technology for engineering education is still in its infancy, these educational tools arenot widely available. As a result, AR apps are often designed, developed, and deployed by theengineering educators themselves. The effort required
taught in a variety of ways. In general, lectures, hands-on laboratory orworkshop sessions, and project-based work may all be included in manufacturing curricula.When teaching manufacturing courses and lectures are frequently utilized to provide studentswith an overview of the fundamental principles in the field. A range of different technologies canbe used to deliver a lecture such as online or in a classroom setting. Additionally, manufacturingcourses could also include hands-on laboratory or workshop sessions where students get to useactual manufacturing tools and equipment. These classes are made to give students real-worldexperience with procedures and methods employed in the field. Traditionally, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

The format of the lecture sections includes lectures, presentations ofongoing research projects, and in-class exercises. The lectures segment are co-taught by instructors from universitiesin Merida and Texas A&M University, and students from our host universities attend this course.Visits to research laboratories consists of approximately six 4-hour lab visits, designed for the students to beexposed to hands-on research. Students will view and practice the use of the scientific method, and interact withresearchers to better understand the formulation of research ideas, to the implementation of their research projects.This segment of the
contacted the Engineering Librarian to inquire if information literacy could be incorporated into the course. The instructor and Engineering Librarian identified an early lab report where students could use reference materials to verify or check the values they recorded during their lab experiments. Since this lesson plan was supplemental to the learning outcomes identified in other courses, it is an opportunity to reinforce exposure to literature in the discipline. • ME 349 (Fall Senior Year). ME 349 was the thermal/fluids laboratory course taken in the fall of senior year. Students wrote lab reports that included a full theory review, experimental setup, results, and discussion.
