This paper describes the implementation of a semester-long design and manufacturing project to create an Internet-of-Things DC Power Supply. Theproject was chosen to facilitate student exploration of the connections between different aspectsof manufacturing a modern embedded system. This document includes details and analysis of theimplementation, results, and student feedback. Completion of the project requires students toharness their prior

While the official coursedescription states that it consists of three weekly lectures with no laboratory components, theinstructor lectures twice a week while reserving the third class meeting for an active learning inclass project session where students implement the concepts they have learned about in the twolectures in that week.The student performance will be assessed via three different categories: 1. Weekly assignments: every week, students will be given homework problems pertaining to the lecture contents. In addition, students will have to implement a programming assignment during the third class meeting every week. Students will submit a weekly assignment including the solved

specifically for our first-year engineering students.In addition to serving as a resource for institutional connection, our peer mentors also serve astechnical mentors. Our peer mentorship program is coupled with the engineering design projectin the first-semester Intro to Engineering course, and mentors review their group’s designs andprogress and offer project management support.There are three specific research questions we wish to address related to peer mentorship inthe context of first-year engineering students: RQ1: Do students feel that peer mentorship was valuable in connecting to the engineering program and community? RQ2: Does peer mentorship lead to better retention outcomes? RQ3: Does technical mentorship by upper

Some of theseartifacts will be demonstrated during the presentation. An environmentally-controlledmetrology lab that is maintained at ISO standards is employed during the courseactivities.

These activities allowstudents to explore phenomena through “remote” labs (not simulations), project generation usinga supply of pre-existing materials (constraints that any project has at any time), and in particular,the development of projects based in easy to find at home materials.In this paper, the Author will present three strategies to promote STEM education throughremote learning: 1) Laboratory activities for college-level students 2) Hands-on activities forhigh-school students through informal education settings, and 3) Activities for the public at largethrough social media (Facebook liv and YouTube) and sponsored by public institutions.

studies, and discussions to teach ethics. Hess and Foremake three pedagogical suggestions in [10] that could utilize perspective-taking: integratingmicro-insertions of ethics across the curriculum, community-engaged approaches, and real-worldstrategies. Perspective-taking skills interface with many of the daily tasks of engineers in theirinteractions with clients and co-workers in efforts to meet project requirements such ascommunicating across disciplines (e.g. engineering to business) and understanding the needs ofthe client. Todd and Galinsky in [12] performed a literature review of the efficacy of perspective-taking as a strategy for improving intergroup relations and reducing bias in a psychologicalcontext. They stated in [12, p. 374

student responses may have been impacted by a number of factors. During thetwo weeks of collecting responses, the students would also complete Exam 3 (covering radiativeheat transfer) and submit a group project requiring 2D, transient analysis using numericalmethods. These two assignments are, historically, the most challenging for students and elicithigher levels of frustration.The survey and evaluations timing also corresponded with a “what if” analysis for student coursegrades where the instructor provided each student with their overall score and the final examscore required to raise the course grade. The grade analysis was provided to the students becausethe final exam is optional for this course. Two students in 2019 were aware they were

ofintegrative learning, problem solving, and teamwork. However, this data may be partiallyskewed due to the relatively small sample size and lack of a pre-survey, a consideration that willbe addressed later in the research process. The one prompt with no significant differencebetween student responses relates to completing tasks in a timely manner. Within this program,students are given general timelines and assignment deadlines, but due to the unique nature oftheir projects, it is an expectation that groups will use autonomy in creating deadlines to ensurethe project is completed on time. This lack of a traditional classroom schedule may have been aninfluence on this prompt. Overall, this program employs a collaborative form of teaching andlearning

However, the camp did not change their attitude towardspursuing a career in science and engineering. Our results suggest that short coding camps mightpotentially increase awareness or coding jobs but may not generate long-term interest in pursuingscience and engineering careers. Thus, our recommendation is
