University of Glasgow (UoG) and the University of Electronic Science and Technology ofChina are partners in a joint educational programme (JEP) in Electronic and ElectricalEngineering (EEE). The Glasgow College, UESTC in which the JEP in EEE is housed is now in itsthird year of operation. The JEP in EEE has an enrolment of 600 students in the first threeyears of the four year undergraduate programme with a planned enrolment of 960 studentsin steady-state. As part of its mission, the Glasgow College, UESTC has organized severalsummer overseas immersion programmes (OIP) to enable all students in the programme tohave an international experience prior to graduation. One of the OIP is a trip to the UnitedKingdom and Ireland. The students spend a long

Immersion TripsOur International Programs Office offers various study abroad opportunities, including a 10-daycultural immersion trip offered during the summer between the junior and senior year. Eventhough these trips are short in duration, they offer a high-impact, motivational event in thestudent’s educational experience. We identified students that would be on the same seniorcapstone project teams and planned a cultural immersion trip that would be technically related totheir UAS capstone project. This had three benefits: (1) developing cultural awareness; (2)learning technical information which would aid in their UAS capstone project; and (3) a team-building experience for the capstone team. We tried two different formats for the trips. The

approach is not an attempt to abandon the traditional ControlSystems textbooks. Instead they aim to foster a stronger engagement and interest from studentsbefore facing complicated concepts in control systems. Presenting a less aggressive introduction,rather than going straight to formulas and long enunciates, may make students more comfortablewith Control Systems, promoting more self-motivation that can positively affect students’academic achievements.Results of a questionnaire at Florida Atlantic University have shown that students, who wereexposed to the new way of introducing Control Systems concepts, support a more nontraditionalapproach to teaching.

The courses are EGR 106 - Engineering Design I and EGR 107 - EngineeringDesign II. The courses introduce computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing(CAM), microcontroller programming, and electrical interfacing. The lectures and laboratoriesare interwoven so that students may use the knowledge to design and build robots in the firstcourse, and create more complicated work in the second course.

Secondly, the tutorials are written in a format which may be confusing and difficult tofollow. In addition, these tutorials provide an emphasis on the tools to construct the CAD models,while dismissing the model planning stage, which is critical for an engineering design. Theauthors have attempted to address these drawbacks. Tutorial videos were created to clearly showthe model construction process from start to finish.

It is not clear to the authors if the “difficulty”in object manipulation was associated with the fact that when students didn’t know the solution ofthe problem, they would just try random attempts using the drawing tool, and felt as if thedrawing itself was the frustrating part of the problem solution. Based on observation of studentsduring office hours, we noticed that students were spending a lot of time trying to place theobjects precisely on the canvas, even tough it was announced that the tolerances were very large.To remediate this, we plan to include more messages about tolerances in the
