Full Paper: Hands-On Laboratory Exercises for Engineering Applications of Mathematics CourseIn Fall 2007, the First-Year Engineering Program (FEP) was started with the intent of increasingstudent retention and success. One of the main hindrances to retention at a public universityengineering program with open enrollment is the unpreparedness of students for rigorouscurriculum requirements of the first year. In an effort to help first year engineering students whoare one or two semesters behind Calculus I, FEP offers Engineering Applications of Mathematics(E-Math) course, which was inspired by the Wright State model for Engineering MathematicsEducation [1]. E-Math aims to teach College Algebra

Enhancing experience and learning of first-year surveying engineeringstudent with immersive virtual realityIntroductionThis paper, a work in progress, focuses on the application of virtual reality on first-yearsurveying engineering. Students enrolled in the surveying engineering major at Penn StateWilkes-Barre take SUR 111 in the fall and SUR 162 in the spring. These courses have anobjective to introduce students to surveying equipment and techniques for mapping. Bothcourses contain outdoor laboratories with extensive use of surveying equipment. Activities arefrequently affected by inclement weather (rain and snow), which leads to cancelled classes. Thisdisrupts the educational process and limits the time students spend with instruments

workingon a project. The project gives the students a sense of the engineering design processas they reverse engineer a drone kit and construct a 3D printed model from an originaldesign. The final design is judged on efficiency of the materials used, durability of thedrone, and the overall usability of the product.IMPLEMENTATION:The program was set up to be built on 3 significant pillars: educational curriculum,research and development and outreach. The program had support from severalnational laboratories including Department of Energy laboratories at Sandia and BoulderColorado. The educational curriculum used local instructors to interface with thestudents to follow nationally developed lesson plans. The plans pointed towardsproduction of parts

, anecessary step in any design process. A Program Manager (PM) is assigned to each project.This is either a graduate teaching assistant or one of the courses instructors. The PM gives thestudents four or five higher level requirements. The students must write the remainingrequirements that follow from these higher level requirements. To do this they must furtherresearch the subject area, submit their requirements to the PM, and get them approved. Thisprocess takes several weeks. The engineering school librarian provides instructions on doing aliterature search. The students write a second research paper on what they have found. There isa laboratory exercise and several lectures in which the students learn how to write requirementswith the correct

For example, they areused to measure the concentrations of glucose (C6H12O6) in the serum and urine of people withtype 1 diabetes [7], the concentration of total arsenic (As) in drinking water [8, 9], and theconcentration of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) generated by the catalytic cracking of crude oil [10].Unfortunately, many hospitals, laboratories, and factories in the developing world cannot affordthe approximately $2,300 United States Dollar (USD) minimum cost for a commercialspectrophotometer.

Connections, and Demonstrate Value Creation for First Year Engineering StudentsIntroductionThe Rowan University engineering curriculum includes an interdisciplinary first year sequence,Freshmen Engineering Clinic I and II (FEC I and II), which is required for students in allengineering disciplines. Each course has one 75-minute “unlecture” period and one 165-minute“laboratory” period each week. Instructional objectives for the sequence include generalengineering skills such as engineering communication, collection and presentation of data, basicstatistics, dimensional analysis and unit conversions, etc. During the 2018-2019 academic year,FEC I and II were each offered in 17 sections of approximately 20 students each. Each section ofFEC II, which

Lecture and recitationsections were added to the existing laboratory-based course to create ENGR 111, “Introductionto Engineering Design and Data Analysis” (resulting in an increase of course credits). Threeweeks of the course focused on statistical concepts. Lectures highlighted relevant statistics topicssuch as: central tendency, descriptive statistics, probability and distributions.
