Criteria The ABET program-specific curriculum criteria for biomedical engineering,bioengineering, or similarly named engineering programs are listed below in their entirety [17]. “The curriculum must prepare graduates with experience in: a) Applying principles of engineering, biology, human physiology, chemistry, calculus- based physics, mathematics (through differential equations) and statistics; b) Solving bio/biomedical engineering problems, including those associated with the interaction between living and non-living systems; c) Analyzing, modeling, designing, and realizing bio/biomedical engineering devices, systems, components, or processes; and d) Making measurements on and
the feasibility of electric flight with commercial aircraft. Another project isworking with Collins Aerospace and applying ADS-B technology to other aircraft such asUnmanned Aerial Systems (UASs). Both projects are examples of students working with industryexperts and working on projects that are forward thinking and engaging students to think aboutproblems that they may need to address once they have graduated from Iowa StateUniversity.AssessmentAssessment of Project Based Learning (PBL) can often be challenging. As we also use a flippedclassroom, the learning is shifted more to the students and requires a different set of assessmenttools than the more typical homework, quizzes, and tests. To accommodate the fact each project isdifferent and

Assistance is available inside and outside lab. Course Support The content of the lectures and skill sessions were relevant to the course. The lab facilities supported my team’s needs.Quantitative evaluation have always focused on specific course/program objective but the specificquestions changed slightly. Table 2 shows the original questions and the percentage of studentsrating the course with an A or B grade for each objective, accumulated over the first 15
actual input data; it onlyrelies on n. Therefore, a lookup table can be pre-computed and loaded at runtime. We first definean algorithm in Python-based pseudocode that determines where samples should reside at eachstage of the algorithm, as in Figure 2. Figure. 2 Algorithm for computing table A of sample indices at each stage From this table, we can compute another table that explicitly states the destination indexthat a sample needs to be sent to. That is, using the new table B, calculated using the algorithm inFigure 3, during stage s, sample i in the current buffer should be sent to position B[s][i]. Figure. 3 Algorithm for determining table B, which contains the destination of the current stage's samples

In 2012, the Office of Research of West Virginia Department of Educationconducted a research on the effect of project-based learning; its report shows that, teachers whoreceived extensive training on project-based learning were capable of teaching the 21st CenturyStandards more effectively compared with teachers without experience on project-based learning[5].

To expose students to a diverse set of future career opportunities available to STEM PhD holders.With an immersive training experience in mind, the SciComm program integrated a variety ofknowledge-based learning activities about communication, practice with communicating, andpractical experience communicating with various audiences. Program participants also engagedwith peers, practitioners, and professionals throughout the program. The program curriculum included three primary components: a) bi-weekly seminarmeetings, b) communication challenges, and c) mentorship by University alumnus/a.

schools has to focus on professional skills and certificates that are acceptedby industry [5]. Some suggest that welding learning process have to include interaction of studentsand their teacher and that it has to include the following: a) the melt (the most central aspect); b)metal transfer mode (weight drop and how the melt flows in relation to welding mode, as here,position B); c) the base material; d) the arc length; e) the movement; e) travel speed; f) the bodyposition; g) the current (amperage); e) the distance to the welding material; and f) the base material[6]. It is also important to define the ways that student and a trainer will interact [6]. Hands onwelding happens in the environment with different visual and audio observations and
management. - Students need help to learn effective time management [7].Table 2b. Other criteria deemed important for the feasibility of the teaching methodsCriteria Rationale for including criteria a. Need for instructor resources. With large classes, the TMs require a lot with respect to instructor time allocated per student e.g. feedback, grading of assignments. This criterion assesses the overall instructor workload. b. Need for technical resources. The technical feasibility of the TMs must be assessed. Does the approach require advanced technology? This criterion

Thepower supply was a 2200mAh battery that powered the microcontroller, actuators and thesensors. The microcontroller acted as the brain of the unit and received signals from the differentcomponents. and reacted according to how the students coded.The success of these two projects along with other team projects emphasized the importance ofthe interdisciplinary knowledge being taught to freshmen engineering majors.Figure 1 (a) Infrared sensor attached to an actuator to rotate a cube; (b) EV3 Mindstorms Brick (Controller) Figure 2 The

manipulation was successful at changing students’ thoughts withoutincreasing emotional distress.The main question in this study was whether the intervention conditions (counterfactual and/orintentions) improved student outcomes. To test this, we regressed the course grade onto theinteraction of the counterfactual condition (coded as 0 = control, 1 = counterfactual), intentioncondition (0 = control, 1 = intention), and the standardized value for the exam grade. Thisrevealed only a significant main effect of exam grade (B = 0.76, t(253) = 6.69, p < .001).Neither main effect of condition was significant (CF: B = -0.17, t(253) = 1.20, p = .23; Intention

code todetermine the best moves of different joints of this robot to pick and place an object from point Ato point B, so that the minimum energy is consumed in this process. To measure the energyconsumption, UNI-T UT230B-US Power Meter was used [14]. It is noted that the movementfrom point A to B can be done by involvement of different joints in different ways. For example,α 1 degree rotation of joint 1, followed by α 4 degree rotation of joint 4, and α 3 degree rotation ofjoint 3. Another possible way to move from point A to B may be α 2 degree rotation of joint 2,followed by α 4 degree rotation of joint 4, and α 6 degree rotation of joint 6. There are many waysto involve different joints of the robot for the same movement from A to B
