In 2010, a similar effort between these two universities described the development of apassive, spring-assisted appliance was used for rehabilitation and exercise. It also serves as anassistive device for daily use, permitting people with hand-extension disabilities [1,2] to regainpartial use of their affected limb. Qualified patients must have retained free arm movement,retain their grip but typically have no ability to re-open their affected hand. This paper describeshow each university was able to perform the needed laboratory work to harness a microprocessorto control the active HOAD appliance. This particular patented assistive appliance incorporatesshape-memory alloys (SMA) to open the hand
and off-campus, they have little time to engage in co-curricularactivities outside of class time that would enrich their education. Opportunities to “go into thefield” through class site visits and field trips during class time, and individual or team researchprojects where students gather information from various sources, are welcomed by moststudents. These opportunities require them to explore their course subject outside of theclassroom. Service learning goes further than any of these teaching methods. It embeds thestudent, individually or in teams, into a credit-bearing learning environment where they have areal community client and a real project, and where they can see, and earn appreciation for, theirclass work and enhanced civic

nanomedicine research project that could beconducted from at least two different perspectives within different laboratories (and ifappropriate, via an internship as well). For some students, the proposed research was acontinuation of their primary thesis project; for others, it was an opportunity to develop a newsecondary research direction. Trainees were asked to select at least one scientific co-mentorduring the application process; however, many took the initiative to cultivate additional mentorsover their 2-year training period (Table 1). Sources of formal and informal mentorship wereidentified from trainee progress reports, meetings, interviews, and publications. Table 1.

Autonomous Garbage Removal System Dan Brosnan Dana Hawes Max Nielsen Salah Badjou, Ph.D. Department of Electronics and Mechanical Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston, MA 02115 Session Topic: Teaching project based courses and design courses, including senior design course AbstractThis paper reports on the design, construction and testing of an automated garbage removalsystem. This project was undertaken in the course of junior-level
embedded system course curriculum. A traditional embedded system curriculum coverslearning about microcontroller architecture and hardware and software aspects of microcontrollersand applications. In order to prepare students for more complex tasks required in embedded systemsand teach advanced topics of embedded systems, an Embedded Intelligent System Design course wascreated and initially offered in Fall 2019. Moreover, this course was also offered in Fall 2022 andSpring 2024. This paper introduces the topics of the course and practice session and term projectcontent in this embedded intelligent system design course. Course topics included Search algorithmsNumPy, Pandas, Sci-kit Learn, TensorFlow, Embedded Linux, and OpenCV. The primary

chances for employment upon graduation.With these beneficial outcomes for students in mind, why is it that single-discipline designcourses – particularly those for engineering capstone design, still prevail? Research offers longlaundry lists of difficulties associated with developing collaborative design coursework includingsystemic challenges (Behdinan, Pop-Iliev, & Foster (2014); Bannerot, Kastor, Ruchhoeft, &Terry (2004)). An 11-year review of the literature suggests that while providing students withauthentic interdisciplinary practice is important, the ability to model and teach ininterdisciplinary ways is lacking (Van den Beemt, MacLeod, Vander Veen, Van de Ven, van Baalen, Klaassen, & Boon, 2020).The hypothesis of Newell, Doty

assumed endpoint:within a healthy watershed, all members of the ecosystem grow, develop, and flourish. Ratherthan merely being “retained” as an individual within a (neutral) pipeline, a member of anecosystem is part of a group that thrives as an interdependent collective. Metrics for the health ofan ecosystem will naturally incorporate intersectionality and complexity beyond traditionalrecruitment & retention data [12].However, despite these positive shifts from the limits of the lockstep “pipeline” to the morecapacious and humane “ecosystem,” metaphors about fostering persistence and thriving are, as arule, largely confined to the realms of STEM. They invoke STEM classrooms and laboratories,STEM communities and STEM processes (the pipelines

In acourse she is currently teaching, it is clearly stated on the syllabus for a junior level statisticscourse that the best way to prepare for the course is for the student to read ahead on the materialto be covered each class period. Students, in general, do not want to hear this. In fact, a studentwrote on the course evaluation under “what was not good about the course” that he was nothappy about the course because he was expected to take his text to class! Sometimes problemsgiven in the text exercises are worked out in class. If the student has his text, then class timedoes not need to be taken to copy down the whole problem
