This arrangement ismainly due to the convenience of having information delivered in a classroom environment, whilemaking use of the lab resources to apply and experiment with the newly gathered information.However, keeping these two separate is neither ideal nor representative of the workplace, whereengineering is a coherent and iterative process. In fact, problems often arise when the lecture andlab components are not fully coordinated. In attempt to progress engineering education, theMyFPGA platform is developed.Building a remote laboratory such as MyFPGA has been an active research area since MIT startedthe iCampus research project [1], aiming at creating an online laboratory for various

A problem set (p-set), where students primarily computeresults to learn the concepts; 2. A laboratory (lab), where students build a measurement circuitand collect performance data. The overall course learning outcome is to demonstrate the abilityto design, build, and

Dueto the warm and humid weather in Cali and the lack of air-conditioning in the machininglaboratory it was decided to change the original agenda and to start the hands-on training in themornings when the weather was cooler and to conduct the lecture and software training in theafternoons in a classroom/laboratory. The first impression was that there was no infrastructurefor advanced composite training available. Through the

- Cost Brain Computer Interface TechnologiesAbstract:Advancing an interest and literacy in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)fields in high school students through summer and after school programs has been widelypopular since the 1990’s, and these programs are effective at improving retention and persistenceafter graduation. However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions. This is typically due to the challenges of providing costly resources that areavailable only in specific laboratory settings and require graduate level expertise to operate.

Delivery to Support the Industrial Role of a Mechanical Engineering TechnologistAbstractThe COVID-19 Pandemic has created widespread disruption in higher education. This has beenespecially felt in the engineering field, which has traditionally relied on applied laboratories todeliver course material effectively and efficiently. In particular, courses in the Mechatronicdomain that integrate mechanical components, electrical systems, and programing rely heavilyon applied labs to instruct students on this interdisciplinary topic through hands-on activities. AtNew Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), these applied labs have been facilitated in theMechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program by using a
computationalanalysis were compared to students who only participated in the computational research project.The initial results indicate that there was no significant difference between the survey responsesof the two groups and that a computational CURE may have similar impact without including atraditional lab component. Further study of the project design and impact on students is plannedfor future semesters.IntroductionMost CUREs have been designed for laboratory courses or for joint lecture and laboratorycourses. This model works well for investigations in molecular biology or chemistry, but manycomputational research tools are taught in a lecture course only. There is evidence that lecturecourses can also be improved with the CURE model. The Genome Solver
were single-session (ca. 160 students), and therewere six to eight identical laboratory sections (ca. 20-40 students). A single instructor taught alllectures, and a common undergraduate teaching assistant workforce (10-12 individuals) sharedcoaching responsibilities across all lab sections. All IDE-related laboratory periods were held inthe program’s undergraduate makerspace [29]. Prior to the start of the IDE, in-class time wasdedicated to safety and tool competency training. In the weeks preceding the IDE, all studentswatched a video-based safety orientation, took an online safety quiz, and completed a self-pacedlaboratory experience that involved them demonstrating competencies in-person to a teachingassistant. All students viewed the same
progresses. This places those studentsat a disadvantage relative to their peers, as they have difficulty understanding and masteringadvanced topics. The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools

The main goal ofthe program was to provide young women and underrepresented minority high school studentswith a laboratory research experience and inspire them to enter college and pursue STEM degrees. Each summer, students from local high schools were selected to participate in laboratoryresearch as scholars under the supervision of a mentoring graduate student and faculty member.Each team composed of two YSs and their graduate mentor tackled problems innanomanufacturing and made significant contributions to ongoing research projects. At the endof the program, each high school student gave a final presentation of the results to

Our Launch Lab program strives to implement and buildupon the insights garnered from these researchers mentioned above to ensure the long-termcareer success of our students.Launch Lab OverviewThe origin of YSU’s Launch Lab can be traced back to a conversation between an Art andMechanical Engineering Technology faculty in 2008. Their discussion centered around thecollaboration between STEM and Arts faculty to bring students from different disciplinestogether to work on interdisciplinary projects. Shortly after, the group began to use the name“Co-Lab” for collaborative laboratory. The first project with two students was completed in2009, and since that time, there have been typically three to four projects
