Patrick Walton received his B.ChE. from Georgia Tech, where he began his biomedical research career in the Cardiovascular Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. He then attended MIT where he earned his M.S. and Sc.D. while working jointly with researchers at the Shriners Burns Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. While at MIT, he was awarded a Shell Foundation Fellowship and was an NIH biotechnology Predoctoral Trainee. Upon completion of his doctoral studies, he
nearly 60% of classes that include laboratory content. Theselaboratory exercises are constructed to simulate manufacturing process and product designproblems. While labs are critical to gaining technology experience, they are not engineeringprojects. The first comprehensive engineering project a student attempts is the program’scapstone course; the Senior Design. The under-served component of Engineering Technologyeducation is engineering projects.This paper describes a three-year NSF-funded summer program designed to improve studentretention in Engineering Technology by exposing students to an industrial setting to gainpractical engineering experience. Sophomore and Junior-level students were organized intoteams and assigned to small or medium
majority of the literature on behavioral and implementation intentions focuses on health-related behavior, specifically health-protective behaviors (e.g., condom use8) and its associatedtheories and models (e.g., prototype-willingness model9). While these theories and theresulting studies have established the role of intentions in the pursuit and attainment of healthgoals, the scope of this research has perhaps been limited. Those studies, with a fewexceptions, that are not focused on health-related behavior can be considered primarylaboratory research using paradigms that may not generalize outside of the laboratory (e.g., cuedetection in an illusion paradigm10).

requirements.Another ineffective use of time is students’ tendency to use “free tools” because of costconsiderations. Industry is very concerned about labor cost (time) and cannot afford todeal with unsupported, and often non-robust, tools. The use of such problem-plaguedtools was a major impediment to obtaining an operational system. The sponsor’s CEOhas talked to the students and emphasized that “time is money” and “do not hesitate toask for help” – especially utilizing the supporting professionals – plus looking for otherways to successfully proceed when faced with a stalled task (think out of the box).Problem Handling: “The skill of diagnosis and subsequent corrective actions that isefficacious.” In college engineering labs effective student laboratory

Hence human-centered contexts for design activities allow for richproblem scoping and also result in more authentic learning experiences.Making following an Interest-Based FrameworkAll claims made in this paper converge to the need for an interest-based framework forengineering design in the K-12 classroom. We propose using classroom Makerspaces as a meansto implement this framework. Our proposition in addition to the aforementioned need is alsoparticularly meritorious on several other grounds that we will discuss in this section.(1) The idea of making and digital fabrication labs has strong historical and theoretical roots.Stager 33 writes about the implications of the Constructionist Learning Laboratory (CLL) thatemerged a decade before the

As campers completed activities, specialemphasis was placed upon the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and “thinking outside thebox”. As in an actual research laboratory, campers would arrive at the lab and continue studies oractivities from the previous day, it should be noted that the complexity and difficulty of themodules increases as the week progresses. Other activities included informal mentoring with thecounselors to discuss preparing for post-secondary education. On the last day of the camp,content and satisfaction post-assessment, as well as a focus group with the undergraduatecounselors were held. Lastly, campers
FlowGo.FlowGo will also be disseminated through existing workshops at Tufts Center for Engineering Educationand Outreach and the CEEO’s online course program (okee.tufts.edu).The second expansion goal for FlowGo is to make the toolkit into a cost-effective laboratory tool for under-graduate fluid mechanics and heat transfer classes. It is difficult for most tertiary educational institutions tooffer hands-on labs in fluid mechanics and heat transfer because the majority of experiments in these fieldsare expensive to manufacture, difficult to calibrate, and large and heavy enough that they require permanentlab space. We hope to add quantitative flow measurement components to FlowGo such that undergradu-ates could use the toolkit to learn fluid mechanics

starting in the Spring semester of 2016 to discuss ideasfor the children’s book. Many important challenges and opportunities were discussed anddebated in these project meetings. The first decision to be made was the target audience and themain character of the book. Other decisions such as narrative style, illustrations, number ofpages, type of book paper, and other fundamental aspects of the project were raised. MohammadAlGammal, a technical laboratory coordinator, agreed to tackle the precise mechanical drawingsnecessary for the book. Two students volunteered to create and draw the main character andbackground. In addition to the students and advisors, two students were hired as part-timeworkers for the book project.

With the popularity of the internet, many have been turning to electronicmeans to record their study data, though this does not imply that paper lab notebookshave been completely abandoned. In the beginning, many were making use of tools notnecessarily created for the sole use in laboratories, such as Microsoft Word, Evernote,Google Docs, or other means of recording notes online and/or via a computer.However, there proved to be a market for products used especially by those doingresearch on scientific fields and thus the electronic lab notebook was born.

The Pennsylvania State University’s Masters of Science in Additive manufacturingand design program is considered to be the first of its kind in the USA. The course offers an onlineoption as well for professionals intending to continue education. The students find benefit inlectures from industry experts from Center of Innovative Materials Processing through directdigital deposition (CIMP 3D) and Applied Research Laboratory [13]. The University of Marylandalso offers a graduate program in Additive manufacturing and students use resources
