EE 1541: Computer ArchitectureThese ABET assessments associated with the curriculum were selected in consultation with EEand COE Department faculty, and the Department IAC.Meeting ABET RequirementsMeeting ABET requirements and objectives demands an effort to teach ethics creatively. Theuniversity’s goal is to creatively address each component of ethics, assess the understanding ofeach term, and ensure every assessment elicits a unique exposure to the student. No less than 10creative and unique events are completed to teach engineering ethics. This results in a minimumof 20 documented ABET assessments centered on ethics for the EE and COE programs. A
ETD 415 A Laboratory Exercise to Make a Smart Robot ARM Using Machine Learning Hiren Gami Miami UniversityIntroductionRobotics is reducing human effort in many industries and beyond. It is an enticing field ofeducation that encourages students to learn, analyze, and integrate complex interdisciplinaryengineering principles into an autonomous reality. There are many types of robots that act asaides to human effort in our daily lives. Most traditional robots are preprogrammed to address aspecific task in a repeated manner

ETD 465 Development of a Classroom Dedicated to Teaching Smart Manufacturing Principles Benjamin Gaston, University of South Carolina; Ramy Harik, Luis H. Alva, and Jesse Warren, Midlands Technical CollegeIntroductionLate in 2020, the University of South Carolina invited Midlands Technical College (MTC) to bepart of a collaborative SCRA grant proposal entitled “Enabling Factory to Factory (F2F)Networking for Future Manufacturing across South Carolina”. During this period, MTCadministration and faculty have developed familiarity with Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0,and its

More higher education institutions have preferred online methods as preferredmethods for offering technology education for conveniences in scheduling, resource limitationsetc. However, online delivery modalities are seen as the most challenging in teaching Industry4.0 concepts. Due to the size and the high cost of the industry 4.0 laboratory equipment, it isoften impractical and not cost effective for higher education institution to provide hands
Anderson et al (Anderson &Krathwohl, 2001). CUREs and other laboratory exercises are a method to have students observeengineering phenomena and gain experience with practical data collection techniques, butgeneral lab courses students have experience with more fundamental techniques. As we enterinto Industry 4.0, with multiple technologies, such as cloud computing, the industrial internet ofthings (IIoT), and machine learning, students need to be exposed to the higher-level instrumentsand technologies, that are more common in research labs that in teaching labs.A major concern of this study, and one of the variables measured, was student self-confidence.As a learner is exposed to a new topic area, the learner is quickly introduced to more
requiresfrequent cooperation, productive deliverables, and high dependencies on institutionalresources. Many examples are described in [11]-[12]. Another aspect of teaching involvescollaborative learning (CL) where students are divided into functional teams. It certainly Proceedings of the 2023 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2023, American Society for Engineering Education ETD 465concentrates on interdependence, interaction, group feedback, and group assessment. Therefore,these teaching components play important role in a course design.This newly developed Embedded Systems Technology course is

It will cover the following areas • Application Engineering Metal • Data Preparation technology.3.3. Equipment and FacilitiesThe laboratory equipment for the programs is being acquired with funds from the EDA grant [5]awarded to Indiana Tech as well as a donation from a graduate of the mechanical engineeringprogram.

Use of free and open course materials will eliminate the costand access barrier in the first day of the class leveling the playing field for all students.

. The challenge requires students to construct a solar powered boat tocompete in several different categories including technical reports, visual displays,workmanship, sprint races and endurance events. Students learn to apply solar energy in atransportation efficient design and gain hands-on experience with sustainable energy and energymanagement. Each part is manufactured in the Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU)laboratories and more than 80% of the boat is built by hand.The Solar Boat project originated in 2004 by the MTSU Associate Dean of Basic and AppliedSciences, Dr. Saeed Foroudastan. Most students use this project to complete their Capstonecourse requirement, a necessity to graduate. Seniors help undergraduate level students
process, subjectmatter of study, the context, and the human condition [2]. Kolb classified “engagement with thesubject matter of study” as experiential learning in which students learn by engaging themselvesin the field case studies or laboratory experiences, or computer simulations [4]. This engagementstimulates student learning through an intervention based on real-world experience. Wrightindicates these interventions can take place with minimal logistic constraints when applied shortterm [5].One of the leading and well-researched models for EL is Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle [4].The application of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory consisting of a four-stage cycle(experiencing, reflecting, thinking, and acting) is widely popular in many

Over theensuing decades, funding has increased dramatically, up to $2,500 per project, with requiredsupplemental institutional or departmental matching funds.The first projects were, of necessity, small in scope and utilitarian in nature, including
