Roselli Department of Biomedical Engineering, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37235AbstractAn introductory physiological transport course was recently redesigned to take advantage of thebenefits of challenge-based instruction. In this mode of instruction a series of specific challengesare introduced throughout the semester. The challenges are based on real problems inbiotransport and are designed to motivate students to discover a solution. For example, principlesof

, aside from their expression in differentlanguages, math and English problems require the same step-by-step analysis, also calledproblem solving, on the way to solutions. In this paper, we examine possible methods ofteaching that analysis. We also propose a closer relationship between math and Englishcurricula as a means of reinforcing our teaching.Introduction The Samuel I. Ward College of Technology at the University of Hartford offerssix Engineering Technology majors: Architectural, Audio, Chemical, Computer,Electronic, and Mechanical. In addition, we teach our own math courses, from Math I,Algebra, through Math V, Differential Equations, and our own English courses, fromEnglish I, Expository Writing, through English III, Advanced

The AFRL Challenge is one-year program that seeks breakthroughs in military operations and capabilities through goal-oriented competitions that attract, inspire and challenge the most brilliant, innovative and practical minds on earth. In the 2017-2018 academic year, AFRL Challenge theme was development of novel solutions to low orbit debris removal. At UMD, the one-year AFRL project was split into two semesters work of 15 weeks per semester. The mission of the first semester’s team was to research, develop and analyze three alternative solutions to the different design

, Introductionto Project Development, with two additional goals in mind: 1. Teach students design and project development well before they encounter them in their Capstone projects. 2. Provide an environment for experiential learning where integration of various strands of electrical and computer engineering disciplines can happen.Similarly to the first goal, some programs offer so-called “cornerstone” courses [3], but themajority of these seem to be freshman courses aiming to provide motivation for potentialengineering students while providing somewhat authentic experiences. These freshman students,however, will typically not have enough technical background to accomplish the second goal. Inour curriculum, students enrolled in ECE 211/212

This helps the students understand the connection surveyors andengineers have and it incorporates local areas so students can visualize what real infrastructurelooks like on two dimensional plans. Students who graduate with a bachelor’s in science of civilengineering typically do not enter the surveyor profession but many engineering roles willrequire their staff to be familiar with the fundamentals of surveying. With this objective in mind,our next lesson builds upon a field lab in the earlier weeks of the semester.

Asmentioned earlier the development of each module keeps in mind the different learning styles of ourinstructional assistants. This includes modules for visual learners using PowerPoint, short videoclips and graphics and modules for auditory learners which may use audio files.

is at this point that the engineering minds are challenged. Contemplating methods to improve a process from the current state to the future state can be difficult. Typical methods include brainstorming, and ‘fish-bone” analysis in a group environment. Of the many possible solutions to the problem, several would be chosen and reviewed in depth until a single solution emerges. From this unique solution, the method of implementing it can be determined and detailed. Step 6: Initiate the improvements. Finally the last step in the process; initiate the improvements. At this time the team/group can determine if the proposed solutions actually produced the desired effect and to what degree. Did the change/improvement result in

. This paperaddresses methods for teaching and conducting usability evaluations, including the use ofan emotions measurement instrument.The main goal of HCI is to build interactive systems that are easy to learn, effective touse, and enjoyable from the user’s perspective5. These characteristics are summed up inone word – usability. Usability can only be understood from the user’s mind-set. Glass(as cited in Pressman7) contends that even the quality of a system is not as important asthe user being satisfied, because if the user isn’t satisfied, nothing else really matters.Therefore, usability is of utmost importance in measuring a software product’s positiveimpact on the user.Since the focus is on satisfying the needs and desires of the user, the
