theIncubator. However, typically an M.S. graduate student will concentrate on coursework duringthe first year, and on a thesis project during the second year. Also, knowledge gained from thefirst-year coursework and familiarity with facilities, equipment and laboratory procedures may beimportant to the success in research areas. Contrary to this normal flow, a first-year graduatestudent that commits to work with an Innovation Incubator client may be required to begin worksoon after arriving at the University. Since the standard commitment between the Incubator and aClient is for 12 months, then effectively the research work is front-loaded for the student. This is acultural change that carries with it both positive and negative consequences. An
tutorial takes a visual, step-by-step approach indemonstrating how to create a Win32, console-mode application as well as covering introductoryprogramming concepts such as the “edit, compile, link, and run” process and useful proceduressuch as printing source-code and program output. The tutorial is thorough and complete enoughto be given as a lab or homework exercise or as a class exercise done in a laboratory setting.

Synchronous and asynchronous hypermedia canthus be better used to lessen the reliance on lecturing 30, to increase student participation, tosupport visualization and laboratory experimentation31, and to encourage reflection32, allnecessary ingredients of the learning process.Learning Styles in Engineering and their ImplicationsPersonality traits and learning styles are distributed differently among practising professionals andstudents in different fields. A possible explanation for the differences is that learners who exhibitcertain preferences are drawn to a particular field. Engineering students tend to have a

This raises the long-standing debate about the value of examinationsversus continuous assessment in evaluating learning outcomes, with supporters of examinationsbelieving that if students can’t produce correct solutions under pressure then they can’t havelearnt the material, while supporters of continuous assessment methods such as projects arguethat

Conclusions and Future WorkThe course in which the study was located, used a student-centered approach with emphasis onactive, experiential, problem-based learning, and had a significant design project where teamworkand communication skills were important. The project required a tight coordination of the course.All students functioned in the same computer-assisted learning environment (access to computernetwork, simulation software, computer-controlled laboratory setup). Progressive approach,project orientation and coordination ensured that the instructional design of the course remainedthe same regardless of the instructional media used in the lectures. As discussed, treatment groupswere

But this study is still a laboratory study, asresearchers were required to be present to perform labelling and facilitate data collection.Another limitation is in the usage of smartwatches. Data was collected at a sampling rate of 25Hz, but due to smartwatch sensor limitations, any window with a sampling rate not between ±10% of the sampling rate (22.5 - 27.5 Hz) was excluded from data analysis.Being limited to data collection

May 2023. The Center houses a complete job shop with rapidprototyping and fabrication capabilities staffed by skilled and experienced civilian engineers fromCMI2. The goal of the Marne Innovation Center is to rapidly convert ideas brought by Soldiersinto viable prototypes for testing and refinement in the field. Promising ideas are then scaled upby the nonprofit CMI2, which works with DEVCOM through a Congressional initiative, calledthe Catalyst-Pathfinder program, which is managed by the Army Research Laboratory with a goalto bridge gaps in defense innovation.This paper’s goal is reporting lessons learned and best practices gleaned from this ongoingpartnership to better enable similar collaborations across organizations in the future.

The introduction of new content orthe proposal of new courses always face the constraint of the limited availability of time in awell-packed traditional curriculum. Chemical engineering students at our institution follow arigid sequence of six pillar semester courses after the common first-year engineering courses.These pillar courses provide for the career fundamentals (mass and energy balances,thermodynamics, transport phenomena, reaction engineering, process control and processdesign). These lecture courses are reinforced with simultaneous specific laboratory courses. Thecurriculum is enriched with additional mathematical

We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have

The nature of designing activities requires an environment that is not of a traditional classroom nature. Deep Orange requires students to collaborate and interact with each other and with faculty on a regular basis in a permanent collaborative space (resembling a studio). The students work on workstations grouped by their team membership as well as team white boards in the Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL), which is divided into two sections; one is an office like area, and the second is a workshop to build and assemble the concept vehicle. The SIL is equipped with

In theteamwork, students took different roles in different tasks. Students’ grades were determined byboth their individual and group work. Bohorquez and Toft-Nielsen employed collaborativelearning in a problem-oriented medical electronics laboratory to develop biomedical engineeringstudents' expertise and self-efficacy 8. In their collaborative learning, students were assigned withspecific course-related projects and required to work collaboratively with their team members.They were also required to co-tutoring each other and switch role assignments in differentprojects.

latest technology with new knowledge and design.7 Technology is chosenand mediated by those in social power and domination, which has traditionally been anexclusively male domain.8 This domination has led to a monopoly of male engineers in controlof the technological knowledge and its power upon society. Male dominance in technology andengineering has rendered gender invisible in the science of design and technology. There is adanger in this rendering as it assumes gender as being non-relevant within the social creation oftechnology. Yet, “universities still tend to reproduce this professional engineering culture and thecorresponding social habit in favor of men” 9 resulting in research and design laboratories asprimarily male dominated spaces
