newdevices. The IoT is developed to integrate physical world into the computer-based systems byallowing physical variables to be sensed or controlled remotely via existing networks. Thisresults in improved efficiency, accuracy, and provided economic benefit, in addition to reducinghuman intervention. The true value of the Internet of Things is based on the data collected fromconnected devices, which enable us to run analytics, optimizing our technology and consequentlyour life.Currently, most schools have developed or are in the process of integrating the IoT in theircurricula. For instance, the Department of Computer Engineering at Santa Clara University hasdeveloped and offered a graduate-level course in the Internet of Things [2]. Their course

We recently merged a few capstone design teams with the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) student competitions. The outcome and benefit of the change are clear. The students are more motivatedand willing to adopt new technologies in their project courses. Through competitions, students learned how tocomplete the project in the context of system.

education. A virtual field-trip is a way of providing userswith some knowledge and virtual experience of a facility without requiring them to physicallyvisit the location. Virtual labs can provide remote-access to various disciplines of Science,Technology, and Engineering (STE) disciplines and are a cost-efficient way for schools anduniversities to organize high-quality laboratory work. Due to constrictions on time andgeographical distances, virtual-labs can be used to share costly equipment and resources, whichare otherwise available to a limited number of users. The Photovoltaic (PV) Applied Researchand Testing (PART) Lab encompasses a 1.1 MW PV power plant with three solar paneltechnologies, metrological and radiometer stations, and PV testing

courses, which are commonin design-oriented fields, such as art and architecture [3], [4]. Similar in style and format to theflipped classroom [5], studios are now being used in science, technology, and engineering areas,as well [6]-[8]. During the freshman and sophomore years, the studio courses are one-credit hourofferings that focus on the students completing projects.While the goals associated with adding the studio courses are intended to benefit all students,some of these goals are of particular benefit to the older students, including military veterans.Although some new content is taught, these courses are “content light”; the main purpose is forstudents to apply concepts learned in the other courses taken during the same semester.

08-09 13-14 17-18 yearThe redesign process for Statics in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering began in 2006 with aone-week short course for teaching with technology hosted by NC State's Distance Educationand Learning Technology Applications (DELTA) and with the Redesign Alliance conference heldin Orlando in 2008.[1] These events codified for me the importance that the pedagogy must leadany technology solution and lead to an overall redesign plan.The redesign process included three phases from lecture to flipped class. This paper will discussthe three phases of redesign for Statics starting with an archetypal lecture section in fall 2005 andproceeding through
processes and principles. The lab can be mapped to several ABET studentoutcomes.References[1] L. Lee and T.

Theiterative process of DBR makes this research method similar to the classical engineering cycle inthat it begins with a challenge or question within an educational context, researchers develop ahypothesis, then design and test an intervention or product [13], [14]. That intervention is thenevaluated within the educational experience and further refined through subsequent iterations(Figure 2).Implementation will occur in undergraduate fluids engineering courses at Utah State Universityand the University of Colorado, Boulder and in STEM outreach events for diverse high schoolstudent at the Undersea Technology Apprentice Program (UTAP) hosted by

It also describes benefits and limitations, offers advice forstarting a research program at community colleges, and outlines future plans.BackgroundUndergraduate research programs have proven to be powerful tools that provide major benefitsfor science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education such as increasedretention, facilitating learning of complex subjects, and providing students with life-long studyand research skills.

Currently, community collegesserve more first-generation college students, those who are traditionally underrepresented inscience technology, engineering and math (STEM), and others with financial needs than four-year universities.
