their abilities have higher academic performance and will consider a larger array ofcareer options. Improving self-efficacy is therefore very important to the academic and futuresuccess of students.Understanding the design process and the application of technical skills is important for students.Outside of some labs and capstone courses, these concepts are not often put into practice inacademic settings. Since students do not have many opportunities to work on real-world problemsthroughout their college career, the UTDesign EPICS team wanted to measure the impact ofworking on real-world projects on learning the design process and motivation to complete work.We surveyed the students after the semester on these topics. We also wanted to measure

interviews and analyzed Trusted World’s daily operations. Two fundamental issues wereidentified by the team. First, Trusted World staff utilized multiple systems to complete common tasks, leadingto inefficiencies and inaccuracies in data entry and analysis. Second, the existing systems limitedadministrators to analyzing data from only one warehouse at a time. Because other commercial solutions wereunreasonably expensive and did not fit Trusted World's needs, these issues required students to considerbespoke solutions to the problem.In the following semesters, students implemented Trusted Inventory, a web and mobile application with anassociated API that was designed exclusively for Trusted World and its future licensees.Students in all semesters

has threaded design challenges throughout the chemical engineering core curriculum to relate real-world Community-, Industry-, Research-, and Entrepreneurship-based projects to fundamental course work. Faculty, graduate students, and dozens of chemical engineering students have developed, implemented, and refined these design challenges which stretch through the core curriculum from the first year to some graduate-level electives courses. Our goal with implementing these varied design challenges is to allow a diverse set of students the opportunity to see the numerous applications of chemical engineering to local and globally-relevant problems [1], and to help them develop the engineering skills and confidence which will

The 990PAB53Learning System enhances learning byfeaturing a wide array of real-worldapplications to allow students to actuallysee their programs control real systems.In addition to a discrete I/O simulatorwith discrete switches and indicators, the990PAB53 includes application circuitsand components for thermostatictemperature control, analog temperaturecontrol, reversing constant speed motorcontrol, variable speed motor control withfeedback, and stepper motor homing andcommissioning. These circuits includebasic and advanced applications startingwith discrete I/O projects and extending to projects involving analog I/O. In addition to all thefeatures mentioned above, the portable system

improvements to increase theefficacy of future work in this field. IntroductionTheory, Fabrication, and Characterization of Nano and Microelectromechanical Systems (NEMS-MEMS), a graduate course at the University of New Mexico, is taught via a series of lectures and sixhands-on laboratory experiments in a Class 1000 cleanroom. The objective of the course is toprovide a foundational knowledge of MEMS theory and applications and to provide students withhands-on experience in microfabrication by developing an electro-thermal actuator. The electro-thermal actuators were made of aluminum deposited on silicon wafers using a photoresist sacrificiallayer. Many designs, which comprised the same features but differed in

MethodsThis experiment was carried out in a freshman Introduction to Engineering Design course. In thisclass, teams spend a semester creating solutions to real-world projects. Student teams

remaining six students includedfour seniors and two post-baccalaureates. Of the students who did not complete the SAPcomponent, the students were seniors or post-baccalaureate and only one student was not a MIM.To help understand if learning was achieved and to gauge students’ interest in additional SAPtraining, a preliminary and post survey instrument was used. Mean gain scores were analyzed todetermine differences in students’ perceptions in conjunction with a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
