Students will be excited about its game style learning opportunities.” “Students like to get hands on with research. They will get the opportunity to use a CNC machine and cut many samples. We will then be able to collect data on those samples using a clamp-on Amp meter and a light sensor. Due to the fact that they were the ones that cut the samples, I think they will take more ownership on the data collection portion and get better results.”5.

and Current Laws, see Table 1) was split into two topics, resultingin 11 total mastery topics. In addition, students are now required to earn at least 70% of the totalnumber of possible points in order to obtain a C, instead of only requiring demonstrating ofmastery.

. Perhaps the most inspired application of the UbD philosophyconcerns lean manufacturing. This set of manufacturing principles introduced by Toyota in the1970’s [15] has become very important to the industry. Graduates of this program need to bewell versed in it.After thoughtful consideration, it was decided there would be no course on “lean.” A major UbDprinciple is that all topics should somehow connect to the big ideas. Lean manufacturing iscertainly a fundamental idea and all topics in the program should in some way connect to it. Sorather than a course on lean, it was decided lean would be taught in every course.This was not haphazardly implemented. Every element of lean, from simple tools to the majorideas, were listed and then assigned to
unit(s) along with difficulty finding suitable storagelocations. In this paper, a refrigeration lab is proposed that costs less than $300, and yet may be amore useful activity for students than expensive and bulky training systems. The structure of thepaper is as follows. First, basic vapor compression cycles are reviewed, followed by a descriptionof the lab equipment and exercise. Next, sample results are provided, and finally, potentialmappings of this lab experiment to ABET student outcomes are given.Vapor Compression System AnalysisPrior to the lab exercise, it is highly recommended that students have learned the ideal and actualvapor compression system cycles.

Although it is different from most other professional learningexperiences that are available to teachers, having the teachers participate in authentic engineeringexperiences with their students and giving them time to reflect on these experiences during theworkshops, is clearly beneficial to the teachers. With the changes that are being made to the nextGEAR UP Engineering Summer camp, it is expected that the benefits of having the professionallearning experience as a part of the camp will continue and that there will be additional benefitsas a result of the improvements made to the professional learning experience.

The new lab module wasconstructed with the full support from Monolithic Power Systems, and it was designed toaccommodate new learning outcomes. Initial assessment of the new Buck experiment indicatedthat the new Buck converter is able to effectively fulfill the new learning outcomes. A moreformalized survey is currently under plan to assess the effectiveness of the new lab module inhelping students achieve the learning outcomes.References1.
