Apart from thefundamental understanding, the experiment also helps the student to understand the application ofcarbon particles and the ion exchange resins in the different industry. In general, this experimentheightens the students’ awareness of the high level of technology that go into seemingly innocuousand low-tech kitchen gadgets and gets them to relate fundamentals learned in the classroom to theireveryday experiences.References 1.

Exposing students to the exciting developing field ofenergy and the environment while participating in hands-on experiments in the classroom canstimulate the scientific curiosity and imagination of young people. This increases the likelihoodthat they will continue their engineering major. To satisfy the students need, a new electivecourse in Fuel Cell Science and Technology with hands-on laboratory experiments wasdeveloped by Dr. Jeongmin Ahn and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department atSyracuse University.

purpose of this paper is to recommend adapting new pedagogical methods to theaccepted topics in an introductory probability and statistics course for engineeringundergraduates—methods that better match the learning characteristics of Millennial students inour courses. In a nutshell, those characteristics may be summarized as: (1) They want relevanceto their major, and future engineering career; (2) They want rationale (for the textbook selected,and for specific course policies and assignments); (3) They revel in technology (to collect data,compute, communicate, and multi-task); (4) They want a relaxed, hands-on environment; (5)They prefer instructors who rotate among several classroom delivery methods.Considering the “Five R‟s” learning
engineering design-based, integrated approach to STEM instructionand assessment. The Review of the LiteratureFor more than a decade, the United States has been shifting K-12 curriculum to a focus onscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Over time, the argument for STEMeducation has grown stronger, in hopes of establishing a citizenry that is literate in all fourSTEM areas regardless of one’s occupation. However, until recently, many STEM educationalprograms tended to focus on the “S” and “M” of the acronym, with slight mention of technologyand largely ignoring engineering. Nevertheless, the future of engineering instruction in K-12learning settings is brightening as many educational standards and
