Learning from a Wizard: Lessons from Nikola Tesla for Engineering Students W. Bernard Carlson Department of Science, Technology, and Society School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia One of the most flamboyant characters in the history of technology is the electricalinventor, Nikola Tesla (1856-1943). The inventor of the alternating current (AC) motorand an early pioneer in radio, Tesla was a highly talented rival of Edison who became acelebrity in the 1890s. During his heyday, the newspapers presented Tesla as a wizardwho tamed electricity by means of mystical and

In addition to these two economics-oriented modules, in-class activities ontopics of global engineering ethics, culture, DEIB and mental health issues while traveling, likelyexperiences in other cultures, and appropriate technology are included. Because lecture onlyhappens once per week and the class covers a wide range of topics, each topic is intended to bean introduction to the material. Students who are interested in any of the topics are encouraged toseek out additional courses or minors in the area of interest. The following modules are thereforeintended to

This is both due to the increasing availability of technology and job opportunities withinthe aerospace engineering career field. According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of LaborStatistics (April 2018), “Employment of aerospace engineers is projected to grow 6 percent from2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations.” Rationale for this growth isattributed to several factors, including the increased use of cubesats, aircraft

In a classroom setting, the studentsinitially (for the first couple of weeks of the semester) expressed dislike of the group and circleseating arrangement or were indifferent to it. Towards the end of the semester, however, they(one cohort of 15 students with the longest exposure) had almost unanimous appreciation of it.This change in student opinions resulted from open discussions with the students about theexistence of power in the classroom and the philosophies of liberative pedagogies.

This Student Paper proposes the adoption of a laboratory course at university-levelmechanical engineering programs in which undergraduates would learn and practice the basics ofcomputer-aided manufacturing and apply that knowledge to CNC milling machines. Themotivation for this course is to better prepare students for design and manufacturing careers byreconciling mechanical engineering curricula with the hiring need in the industry for engineerswho understand common

According to Heath7, the fact that thetools were different would decrease the relevance to the students, and therefore the effectivenessof the learning process.To address the lack of appropriate media content for the training process, a tool training videowas developed and produced in the design laboratories.
