The remaining questions asked were a focal point of the study, as participantsindicated if their Living Lab experience contributed to obtaining their current position and howoften Living Lab skills are applied during the course of their job. The final questions collecteddemographic and educational background information, including their graduation year andconcentration(s) studied.ResultsA total of 11 valid responses were recorded to the Survey Monkey questionnaire. Seven werefrom male graduates and four were from female. Figures 1 and 2 provide more demographics ofthe respondents
tointroduce active manipulation for learning about, for example, aerodynamics, flight mechanics,and structural design. The radio-controlled airplanes, however, are often only available tostudents through clubs or student competitions. This paper will describe an active learning class,the Flight Vehicle Design and Fabrication Class (known by students as the Sailplane Class), inwhich student hands-on learning includes flying radio-controlled airplanes. BackgroundThe Sailplane Class has been at Penn State University since the early 1990’s and was originallysponsored with funding from the National Science Foundation through the Engineering Coalitionof Schools for Excellence in Education and Leadership (ESCEL
project based course in using fundamental MATLAB programmingas a tool in engineering problem solving. The course usually requires that students completethree projects per semester, generally requiring software input and output, but no building orconstruction of any kind.Hands on learning is well documented as an effective teaching tool for kinesthetic learners.5,6Such students seemed to be underserved by the conventional teaching methods of the course, soefforts were undertaken to create more hands-on and real world application projects. 7Implementation of project based courses can be challenging, but many universities have createdsuccessful hands-on project based courses. Penn State has been using robots of its own designsince the mid-1990’s
attributed to the development of value systems andvery high ethical standards, teaching others to generate knowledge, and the use of creativity anddiverse backgrounds to bring “unique perspective[s]” to research problems. One engineerdescribed the need for diversity in engineering in order to innovate: “The advances come whenyou’re sort of looking at—you’re applying something new to a different area and you’re bringingin people who haven’t looked at it before.” Others refer to the importance of collaborations andcollaborative work in generating advances in technology, especially between different fields (ex.mechanical engineering and psychology to advance mental health technologies), collaborationsbetween university research facilities and industry

The preliminary results provide insight intostudents’ evaluation of their success during their first semester, which is a critical semester instudents’ college careers.IntroductionProject Control is an interactive process in which actual performance is compared to plannedperformance with adjustment(s) being made to address identified deviations3.The project controlcycle has seven basic steps: (1) develop project plan, (2) establish benchmarks, (3) monitorproject performance, (4) identify deviations, (5) evaluate corrective options, (6) makeadjustment, and (7) document, report and evaluate4. When attempting to teach this projectcontrol cycle, the importance of ‘evaluate’ can be difficult to convey to students

The philosophy of mathematics affected engineering and mathematics education in theundergraduate curriculum in the 1990s. Piaget‘s schemes idea in the 1970’s, and its developmentwith detailed explanations by Piaget and Garcia in the 1980’s, influenced researchers ofundergraduate engineering and mathematics education curriculum in the 1990’s. Students’conceptual view of the function was defined by Breidenbach, Dubinsky, Hawks, and Nichols in1992, which relied on Piaget’s study of functions in 1977 (Piaget, Grize

In summary, this literature review demonstrates that empirical studies of entrepreneurshipprograms often overlook socio-demographic characteristics and simplify the conceptualization ofco-curricular experiences, suggesting a vague alignment with the curriculum.Conceptual Framework In an effort to work towards a more structured approach to studying the complexities ofengineering entrepreneurship education and its impact on students in higher education, we havechosen to position this analysis in the context of Lattuca et al.’s (2014)30 use of the Terenzini

Amicrocontroller with programming activity is integrated in almost every laboratory experiment.The main objective of this course is to learn by doing the hands-on activities. Here is the list ofelectrical and electronic components this course used to facilitate laboratory experiments: • Arduino Uno R3 • MOSFET, diode, and LED • H-bridge, op-amp, and buzzer • Temperature sensor, flex sensor, touch sensor, light sensor, and weight sensor • Stepper motor and dc motor • Discrete electrical componentsStudent Learning OutcomesThe mechatronics course at
