utilized. In the pedagogicalliterature, Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is often referenced. Kolb’s learning cycle consistsof a concrete experience (feeling), reflective observation (watching), abstract conceptualisation(thinking), and active experimentation (doing)[5]. This is quite similar to Deming’s plan (think),do (and feel), check (reflect), and act (revise) learning cycle. Deming’s PDCA cycle is used herebecause it also further grounds the students’ learning in industrial engineering practice, asstudents may have learned about Deming and his work in their studies on quality, management,and continuous improvement, which is also cited in the project management literature[6, p.229].This enables the learning strategy to potentially be

The American Society for Engineering Education has a separate Engineering EthicsDivision that has also tackled broader topics on how engineers should consider the ethical andsocietal implications of what they do. Our research paper here seeks to build bridges to some ofthat engineering education and ethics research by reflecting on recent efforts that have beenperformed from within a government agency, the National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA), to reflect on the implications on the work of engineers.

While PBL is not the only way to learn convergence methodologies, it canbe an efficient “means” to the “end” which is understanding and implementing convergencemethodologies. It emphasizes the process of question identification and framing as much asproblem solving, encouraging students to iterate and seek feedback, and to reflect on theirapproach and proposed solution. Additionally, outcomes of PBL are similar to the skills neededfor the future of convergence research in industry

The interaction with instructors is intended to provide positive reinforcementand “just in time” intervention using the principles of being a reflective teacher outlined byBrookfield (1995). In the PSS, the interactions meet the criteria defined by Chi et al and providefor increased formative assessment opportunities within the learning environment from peers andinstructors “in the moment.” Furthermore, LeDoux and Waller (2016) measured the impact ofthis approach on student learning with summative assessments and conclude that “no matterwhat level of

Finally, we changed some content near the end of the course to allowstudents to connect the course to their own career aspirations, which we expect can aid in long-term retention. Specifically, students chose among several possible topics to cover in the finalweeks, covered via typical pre-recorded lectures and reading, and also guest lectures. They wrotean abstract-length reflection on how they could use what they learned in this course later in theircareers. Overall, students remained engaged with the course throughout the semester andprovided favorable comments and evaluations of the course, including

the results and achieve a conclusion with higherconfidence.IntroductionLearning happens in many ways, such as seeing, hearing, reflecting, acting, reasoning,memorizing, and visualizing. Teaching methods, materials, and activities also vary. Someinstructors lecture, others demonstrate or discuss, some focus on principles, and others onapplications. There are studies arguing that the most effective teaching can be achieved when thematerials and activities overlap with the students' learning styles [1], [2]. There are several methodsand indexes categorizing learning styles [3]. This case study aims to improve the teachingeffectiveness within the context of engineering courses and is based on the hypothesis that studentshave a set of preferred

The straightwaveguide section and the coax to waveguide adapter were examined for S11 (reflection coefficient) andS21 (insertion loss). Both are important performance characteristics. S11 is a measure of impedancematching, which is necessary to minimize reflections. S21 is a measure of ohmic losses that reduce signalintensity. The waveguide horn antenna was characterized for 3D radiation pattern and for gain in dBi.These data are presented in figures 4 through 10.Figure 4: Comparison of measured reflection coefficient S11 on commercial straight waveguide sectionvs. 3D printed and silver painted straight waveguide section.

Many underrepresented students encounterdisconnects between formal instruction and their home experiences as the content often used inclassrooms does not reflect their community-based experiences. PBE addresses this challenge asit seeks to overcome this dissonance by leveraging learning from local surroundings [14]. InPBE, students are provided opportunities to explore local environments, phenomena, history, andeconomy in place. Teachers in rural school settings can use these place-based elements to createa meaningful STEM learning context for underserved populations [9], [10], [8].

. Theprojects and the deep collaboration with the entrepreneurs make the experience authentic. Thestudents also see the relevance of their input towards their professional formation and the growthof the entrepreneurs and their startup companies. Another principle of experiential learning is thestudent’s ability to connect their experience to their professional formation through reflection [5,6].The students submit weekly reflection papers about what they have learned about innovation andentrepreneurship. They do this by reflecting on their interactions with industrial speakers andtheir experiences from their projects, as well as the book they read. The projects also makelearning active. This principle of experiential learning helps to “fully engage” [5
