Paper ID #41206Practical Learning in Microcontroller Courses Using Novel MISL-ASE EmbeddedSystem Development BoardsDr. Gang Sun, Northern Kentucky University Dr. Gang Sun is currently an associate professor of Engineering Technology programs at Northern Kentucky University. His primary teaching areas are digital & analog electronics, embedded systems design, programming for engineering applications, industrial automation, control, and Capstone design. Research interests include designing mechatronic/electronic systems that integrate embedded systems, programmable logic controllers, machine vision, real-time operation
other fluid mechanics topics. University of Florida (UF) has created thesekits as a special component of their unit operations experiments to enhance the learningobjectives of ChE laboratories, introducing junior and senior students to the concepts of pressuredrop due to friction losses in pipes. Furthermore, the desk-scale kits are also available for use inlecture courses as well as experimental demonstrations for outreach purposes. The latter can beused as a strategy to showcase practical applications of ChE among pre-college students, aimingto tackle the current decline in undergraduate enrollment in ChE programs.In efforts to combine innovative outreach initiatives with improved teaching strategies, bothinstitutions have engaged in a novel

Empathy is particularlyimportant in biomedical engineering (BME) because of the inherent sociotechnical nature of thediscipline and the high-stakes impact BME has on people through healthcare and medicine. Empathy hasbeen operationalized in engineering education as perspective-taking to teach students to consider diversestakeholder needs and points of view in
basic engineering-related work is very different thaninstructing typical engineering students. Non-engineering students do not necessarily have afundamental scientific background and thus may find the material challenging. Literature reviewshows there exist previous attempts to teach non-engineers to embrace and understand engineeringconcepts (Butler & Wilson, 2010). Butler and Wilson’s work discusses techniques such as high-impact learning, course material structuring and alignment, etc. Shortly after that, (Hendrix et al.,2012) 12) performed a continuation of work done by Butler & Wilson, however, with a differentfocus. The goal of Hendrix et al.'s work is to address the issue of how to motivate non-engineeringstudents to care about
. Ultimately, the solution to the lack of dedicated engineering space was simple (butnot easy): construct a new building. However, building a new space on campus requiresinstitutional support and a funding source. The College President and College Advancementoffice began raising funds to design and build an addition to the existing science center. Theseefforts culminated in the construction in 2017 of a joint Engineering and Biomedical SciencesHall, which included a dedicated engineering laboratory, an engineering computation lab, amodern teaching classroom, three faculty offices, and two “project labs” intended to provideworkspace for Engineering and Integrated Science design, research, and capstone projects.However, shortly after construction was

laboratory environments. To give an example, theeducational laboratory equipment favorably utilized in mechanical vibrations and control theorycourses is tailored with custom software and data acquisition systems to implement inputs and recordoutput data. This inhibits students’ understanding of signal flow and data recording. Consequently,students struggle to replicate similar tasks using low-cost alternatives to actuate the mechanisms ordesign a controller to accomplish desired tasks. To address this problem, we collected feedback fromundergraduate mechanical engineering students enrolled in mechanical vibrations (junior level) andcontrol theory courses (senior level) to assess their confidence levels and proficiency inprogramming, identifying
use.Almagambetov and Pavlina [2] compare three methods of teaching laboratories in a digital-logicservice course for first-year students. The methods are wiring cookbook-style labs using off-the-shelf components, VHDL labs with virtual-wiring techniques, and hybrid labs combining the two(Ibid.). The hybrid approach was seen to produce better educational outcomes according to anextensive evaluation. Other educators have chosen a hybrid style as well. For instance, Areibi [3]has students start with breadboards, but after introducing FPGAs, observes that a studentpreference for FPGAs is established after a few labs. Nonetheless, Areibi has found that the useof VHDL in such a course causes confusion and has identified that the primary challenge wasbeing able

missions are much more focused on providing educational opportunities tolocal students who wish to pursue an education beyond high school. With a few exceptions,community college faculty seek external funding to develop new academic programs, improvecurricula and teaching, or implement student-centered professional development programs, oftenin partnerships with four-year institutions. Community college faculty's two main responsibilitiesare teaching and advising students. In this context, mentoring takes shape (Hensel, 2021). Forinstance, mentoring may occur in the classroom, the laboratory, and the office. In theirclassrooms, faculty uncover the hidden curriculum, introduce academic language, and promotethe notion of students becoming scholars

The ten-week course provides students an opportunity to use moderncomputer tools to aid in the simulation and control of space mechanisms. In particular, the coursefocuses on the mathematical modeling, simulation, and control of an innovative planar pick andplace mechanism capable of dynamically changing its topology within its workspace. Thisimmersive educational experience allows students to connect fundamental mathematicalmodeling of a physical system to the real-time control of physical hardware.
