The guest lectures typically combine an overview of the disciplineincluding typical problems solved, some stories of current work going on at the university, adescription of the major requirements and student activities, and sometimes a bit about thepresenter’s own career path. While the students explore about half of CWRU’s availableengineering programs in more depth during the laboratory activities, their initial exposure to theother half is strictly through these presentations.The course was piloted in 2019 with around a dozen students and one instructor and steadilyexpanded.

Thoseefforts focused on using embedded systems in an introductory electrical and computerengineering (ECE) laboratory class to address real-world problems of human import. In line withthis previous effort and the call to enhance education by helping students develop future-readyskills, the authors have developed a project that is real-world relevant with respect to thetechnical problem to be solved, the professional skills employed, and the tools and processesused for team collaboration throughout the project.In this paper, the development of and approach to a multi-week project involving first-year ECEstudents from two institutions is discussed.

This paper aims to highlight the importance of integrating digital toolsand technologies into the curriculum for first-year engineering students. Digital tools such asCAD, simulation and modeling software, virtual laboratories, interactive learning modules,SharePoint, data analysis and visualization tools, and programming environments offer diverseopportunities to enhance the learning experience, engage students, and prepare them for thechallenges of engineering practice, particularly in the higher-level classes.

Kolb classified “engagement with thesubject matter of study” as experiential learning in which students learn by engaging themselvesin the field case studies or laboratory experiences, or computer simulations [4]. This engagementstimulates student learning through an intervention based on real-world experience. Wrightindicates these interventions can take place with minimal logistic constraints when applied shortterm [5].One of the leading and well-researched models for EL is Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle [4].The application of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory consisting of a four-stage cycle(experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting) is widely popular in many

For example, therigorous formatting requirements of a senior laboratory reports, such as flowsheets, equipmentdiagrams, and numerous chemical and mathematical formulas, would make the use of a wikidifficult. Also, if a project report is more than 10 pages, the wiki format may not be appropriatebecause it requires that the person preparing the report be actively connected to the internetduring the entire time they are writing.

For laboratory or design courses where the experimental object or test article is fabricated by the students, we suggest that the students be allowed to manage their own budgets and thus practice social responsibility. 2. For these same courses, we suggest that students be required to evaluate the materials used in fabrication in terms of both environmental impact and personal safety during the manufacturing process. 3.

Engineering Materials Classes at PurdueThe School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University has long been dedicated to teachingstudents about engineering materials. This dedication began in 1883 with a laboratory for testingmaterials in the college of engineering [1]. In 1899, this lab was moved to the school of civilengineering and eventually became the foundation for CE 231 – Engineering Materials I and CE331 – Engineering Materials II.

As the sophistication of this technology has increased the base priceof these units has decreased. RP are now cost effective in graduate schools, technical schoolsand secondary and primary educational facilities. New improvements in the technology havemade RP units available to almost any school in our country. The terminology used in the rapid prototyping industry is not completely consistent.

They also workin teams in the laboratory components of several earlier courses, but there is little formalinstruction therein on how to behave in a group or how to conduct good team work. If some ofthose ideas were learned early in the program, they could be used all throughout the program,and thus the students would enter the senior design sequence with strong team skills and be ableto focus on the technical aspects of the design projects.

adequate library resources. Most universities have some form of anelectronic or e-library available to students (e.g., Iowa State University e-Library, HarvardUniversity Libraries, etc.). This provides the student with a means to search journal articles andarchives. One of the roadblocks to online engineering programs has been the accessibility oflabs. To combat this, some instructors have begun to develop experiment kits which can bemailed to students in advance for completion of laboratory work14.It is important that a student be able to work with faculty and staff remotely in a professionalmanner.
