formeasuring impedance in networks versus frequency, gain and reflection versus frequency, andtime domain impulse/step response of systems. Many universities have VNAs in their researchlaboratories. Few universities offer undergraduate courses that expose all students to VNAtechnology primarily due to the cost of the instrumentation which can run from $5k for a 1 GHzmodel and $250k+ for a millimeter-wave model. In the last two years, an open sourcenanoVNA was developed and introduced to the market with a $50 price for a 1.5 GHz VNA and$150 for a 3 GHz VNA. This breakthrough in cost/performance now allows all universities touse VNAs in their laboratories. Each student can have access to their own VNA laboratoryexperiment set since the cost is now

The Environmental Engineeringand Sustainability summer camp for high school students has been offered at the University ofIllinois at Urbana-Champaign since 2012, under the summer camp outreach umbrella of theGrainger College of Engineering [2]. The week-long camp includes hands-on activities aimed tointroduce students to engineering design, scientific inquiry, sustainability, and how engineerscontribute to protecting human health and the environment. In summer 2020, due to thepandemic, the camp was reformatted from in-person to virtual. The virtual platform enabled thecamp to reach more students, especially those with limited resources to

This paperreports on the course design and particular laboratory experiences, as well as the studentperformance in the (hybrid) pilot of the course.There is existing literature describing similar courses, however, few papers describe these coursesin enough detail to replicate, and many do not cover the exact content that is desired of theMechatronics Systems Design course presented in this work [1]-[9]. Furthermore, few of thesepapers

, pandemic1.0 IntroductionThree mechanical engineering students at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering, University ofIndianapolis were tasked with designing a fixture for the Institute for Affordable Transport (IAT) BasicUtility Vehicle (BUV). BUV produces basic transportation and vehicles for developing countries thatfeature robust and simple designs. The project involved a service component because the BUV is beingused for critical applications including agricultural, water and medical transportation in developingcountries (Figure 1). Exposure of students to such open-ended and real life projects will help the studentsto develop critical professional and technical skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork,problem solving, project management

These results suggest that,near the end of the course, students were more likely to set study goals for themselves.IntroductionSelf-regulated learning refers to how students control their own learning [1], [2]. Pintrichdescribes a framework for self-regulated learning based on four areas of regulation (cognition,motivation, behavior, and context) and four phases of regulation (planning, monitoring, control,and reflection) [3]. The planning phase includes setting goals and planning time and effort. Goalsetting has been shown to increase academic performance [4]. Monitoring

initial design objectives toaddress the recognized need. They are summarized here. 1. Practical: Compatible with portable AR hardware that is also sufficiently comfortable to wear for long periods (multiple hours). 2. Independent: Usable when AR glasses are unavailable. 3. Flexible: Adaptable to student’s changing captioning needs and priorities in different educational contexts; allow the user to choose between desired transcription cost and accuracy. For example, a student would utilize high-quality human captioning during a lecture (where tolerance for transcription errors is low). After class, the student could switch to less-accurate automated captioning to discuss lecture details with a fellow student

to amplifier analysis anddesign. The analysis and design of amplifiers is most often achieved by calculation, and basic labexercises abstracted from the application to real world scenarios. The lack of obvious real-worldconnection affects the student's ability to conceptualize and perform amplifier design [1].Furthermore, assessment results from previous offerings of the first electronics course in the EEsequence suggest students struggled to understand amplifier design. To address these concerns,there was a desire to integrate these topics for both remediation and content extension into thesecond course in the electronics sequence, which was offered for the first time in the course of thisresearch. © American Society for

first engineeringcourse taken by engineering majors, and although it is numbered as a 200-level course, it istaught to freshman in the second semester. The size of the engineering program (approximately150 students) virtually ensures that student cohorts (one per year) form as they work through theprogram; typically, only one section of each course is offered each year.Mathematics is a world of rules, rigor, and steps. The beauty of math is that once the rules aremastered, they never change. Math is often learned by repetition; given a particular type ofproblem, students follow a procedure to arrive at the desired outcome. Many students pass theirmath courses using memorization or rote learning. [1] Conversely, engineering problems
