grow [9]. Students are entrusted with a great amount of freedom: from choosingwhich problem(s) to tackle and pitching their ideas, to recruiting other classmates to join theirteam, setting up meeting times via online conferencing tools, and working together to createdeliverables from various locations across the U.S. [10]. This model aims to produce qualitydeliverables, which students can own as their personal intellectual property and innovation. Thejournal publications, poster presentations, business plans, outreach activities, inventiondisclosures, awards, and products developed are among the deliverables students can produce[8]. The students gain experience working within a team that includes students from othermajors, universities
undergraduates in mechanical engineering.To complete this project, students should go through these steps: investigation and survey,conceptual design, modeling and simulation, detailed design, fabrication and assembly,prototype and test. It can be found that these steps are highly in accordance with a generalscientific research or an actual engineering project (Fig. 1). To be more specific, “handwritingrobot” should be capable of drawing lines and arc (for basic level), writing alphabets andsimple Chinese characters (for intermediate level) and writing complex Chinese characters(for advanced level) while lifting and dropping the pen. The main performance indicators arethe stroke not less than 350 mm, speed not slower than 30 mm/s, and largest

basic concepts of µPs/ µCs as presented in [1,2],and using troubleshooting problem-solving method to teach high school students as presented in [3], justto name a few. Back to 90’s a traditional course on µPs/ µCs mainly involves assembly programming andsoftware-only lab using simulators as mentioned in [4] and the references therein. Nowadays, more andmore college-level courses on µPs/ µCs would cover scopes from the architecture of processors to the bigpicture of embedded systems, and combine lectures with mixed software/hardware-based labexperience. This trend of introducing the ever-growing complexity of µPs/ µCs to students and preparingthem to design larger and more complex systems have brought educators big challenges and discussionson

There aretwo 1.5-hour lectures per week so two topics are covered each week. This course is offered in thefirst term of first year, so it was decided to carry out the study in weeks 5 and 6, when thefreshmen should have settled down into the routine of university life. The topics involved areLecture 9 Moments and Couples in Three Dimensions, and Lecture 10 Resultants in ThreeDimensions (part 1)The structure of each piece of media generally comprises of: • an introduction; • a review of an earlier related module; • the theory of the current module; • sample problem(s); • the solving of practice
across the US, on average, nearly 40% of students leaveengineering before graduation. This rate is much higher for URM and female engineeringstudents with 70%, 70%, and 50% of female, black and Hispanic students respectively. It is notsurprising that there is a disproportionate representation of the overall URM population and theirrepresentation in the STEM workforce (Figure 1). As shown in Figure 1, Hispanics and Blacks account for approx. 15% and 12% of the USresidential population 21 years or older in 2015, yet they account for only 6% and 5% of thescience and engineering occupation (National Science Board, 2018).

Problem-basedLearning was first introduced at McMaster University in Canada, a pedagogy that stressesstudent-centered, small group learning (with teachers acting as facilitators) and organizedaround problems as specific attributes [3]. Since then, it has been widely used all around theworld, and there are many successful cases of applying PBL in professional education.Howard S. Barrows mentioned in his article that “PBL
