used to acquire real-time data to actuate a motor. Using a programalongside Arduino to save this acquired data and harnessing Arduino’s maneuverability andadaptability would allow students to create better systems. Most importantly, incorporating thiswithin a lab while also teaching data acquisition basics would help solidify all of the necessaryskills. Together all of this should allow for any data acquisition needs within research or acapstone project to be easier to obtain.AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by the Arkansas EPSCoR Data Analytics that are Robust & Trusted(DART) through seed grant number 22-EPS4-0028, under NSF grant number OIA-1946391,Chancellor’s Funds for Commercialization, and Honors College Research Team Grant at
introducing these topics, it will prepare students for an easier transition torunning simulations. For example, in the mechanical engineering fluid curriculum, it might begood to touch on common computation packages that are used for fluid simulations such asOpenFOAM or COMSOL.The other way these topics could be included in the curriculum is by creating a new elective thatwould allow students to use an available package to run a sample simulation or train a model andthen expand on this by teaching how to upscale their model. This might mean using more atomsor increasing the time in a simulation or using more data for training a supervised machinelearning mode. The course could include a scaling assignment to emphasize the speed up forincreasing CPU
Columbus desired to upgrade its teaching andlearning methods to a more modern, active, and student-centered style. While PurduePolytechnic Columbus always had emphasized applied learning more than theorylearning and included many hands-on activities in the classes, some improvements © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 2022 ASEE Illinois-Indiana Section Conference Proceedings | Paper ID 35927were needed to transform the educational experience to the 21st century.

. Many Proceedings of the 2022 ASEE North Central Section Conference Copyright © American Society for Engineering Education 2universities are worried about investing in large manufacturing equipment of industrial caliber,and when they invest in those, it is for major research projects, not for teaching manufacturing.Spatial and maintenance requirements are also deterring factors for not starting a manufacturingprogram, adding to the cost worries. Another drawback of manufacturing education is the namerecognition. Students entering engineering education and their families often choose traditionalengineering disciplines over manufacturing, and the field is associated with the dirty and
creativity, experience and knowledge to solve problems to help people. Engineers design electric cars, mobile phones, bridges and processes to clean environment and mass transportation systems to move people and goods. Engineers can choose different types of jobs such as design, manufacturing, research, testing or sales etc. A student interested in discovering new knowledge can consider a career in research. If you are imaginative and creative, design engineering may interest you. If you like computers, you can be a CAD engineer. If you like laboratory and experiments, you may choose development engineering. Engineering is also organized in traditional fields such a mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical or computer

These learningenvironments are typically referred to as STEM labs (laboratories) and/or makerspaces [5].However, programs like these often focus on upper-secondary students, and can fail toaddress career misperceptions, especially early on when career interests are

students’measurement journeys allows us to better understand students’ thought processes while debuggingand helps us uncover students’ stumbling blocks, which will hopefully lead to better teachinginterventions. We have continued to modify the experiments and used this tool in subsequentterms, in efforts to improve the tool and gather more data about how students debug. We are happyto share source code with others who would like to help test out this system. We look forward tosharing additional insights into students’ debugging processes in the near future.Bibliography[1] A.

lab was effective, the sample size shouldbe expanded to 30 or more to represent a more significant population and reduce error. Inaddition to evaluating more students, the user experience can be improved with additionalexperimental data and enhanced graphics with moving images or changing images. This wouldincrease engagement and visual association, which would be beneficial when the virtual lab isacting as a pre-lab to a physical unit operations lab. However, this preliminary study shows thatvirtual labs can effectively assist students in understanding fundamental fluidization theories. 9References[1] S. U. Rahman, N. M. Tukur, and I. A.

departments are well-known to be “hands-on” departmentsas most core courses require laboratory experiences. Thus, distance learning was rarely used forengineering-related curriculum. Possible advantages from online education include the ability toaccess material and notes at the student’s own pace at any time, which in turn, may help studentsto grasp concepts more efficiently. Moreover, the information and content of courses is startingto become widely available among multiple institutions [3]. However, many challenges existrelated to the execution and delivery of online classes.

The goal was to promote professional activities of students,faculty, and staff in areas of research, scholarship, course development and professionaldevelopment by providing funds for stipend, travel, buyout for release time and purchase ofequipment, services and supplies. These funds were to be used to offer undergraduate andgraduate students opportunity to explore special topics outside of their formal coursework thatinspired their creativity and imagination through additional research and exploration and earncollege credit for their work. As structured coursework rarely offers extended, stress-freeenvironment conducive to learning and exploration, ideas were developed for student projects toprovide laboratory

Our senior design course is structured as a collection of independent studentprojects. This course is offered every semester. Usually, the students in the ComputerEngineering program take this course during their last semester. Students have the option ofworking individually or in group of twos. Students either can come up with an embedded projectthemselves or work on a project that is given to them by their advisor.
