Teamwork is an essential aspect of PBL which bringsindividualistic character requirement resulting in successful task delivery with team membersexpressing their various perspective to solving problems [5]. The teamwork setting has beenfound to positively increase student’s learning attitude towards technology and scienceapplications, shaping their skill development, knowledge compilation, and general ability as theymove from college to industry [2]. It is becoming necessary to get students up to the levelrequired to easily settle into industries upon graduation. According to [4] and [12] “project-basedlearning is the best way to fulfil industry needs” and PBL is a fundamental

It is hoped that by incorporating student feedback into the freshmansuccess and career development activities there will be a growing sense of ownership in theirengineering technology community and education.FYE models and pedagogical techniques will be evaluated and modified for engineeringtechnology students leading into the next iteration of the course. The course will continually beiterated and eventually will incorporate all technology majors transforming the one semesterrefresher course into a first-year engineering technology program.ObjectiveThis work in progress paper

Vision, Visualization, and Navigation Toolboxes, for fast algorithm development and testing. The paper presents three projects for autonomous mobile robots on the MATLAB-ROS- Gazebo simulation platform. The first project is on sensing and perception of laser scan data and its post-processing of model-based fitting. The second project is on the path planning of an autonomous mobile robot implementing the Wavefront algorithm. The third project obtains closed-loop control of the robot’s behavior based on visual hints. These three projects cover the fundamental components of controlling an autonomous mobile robot, including sensing, perception, decision-making, and low-level motion control. We believe

mantra was “a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work” 3.This paper presents, how I taught the real-life applications of time and motion studies using thetextbook as a theoretical platform. There are various aspects of the teaching methodology thatcome from my work experiences. I had myself taken this course in this department in 2006 as apart of my MSET degree. It helped lay the foundation for me to understand the fundamentals ofProduction planning and Workspace design that revolved around the Human element. While itmay seem that, this field of applied science is very practical and mathematical, it has the humaneffort aspect which makes it particularly challenging. I realized this in my very first job.

limited sufficiency to form a reinforced habit in thestudents. Third, at the individual university or program level, a technical writing requirement iscommon for many undergraduate degrees in engineering and technology. For example,traditional technical writing courses tend to be required for many disciplines within a universityand built from the viewpoint of the humanities. While these courses do introduce widelyapplicable fundamental skills, students will often miss the value as it relates to their chosenstudies in technology due to the lack of engineering context and limited integration of moderndigital media technology.1.3 Proposed Solution In response to the gaps highlighted previously, this exploratory work documents

In the lab, students engage in four laboratory projects and one four-weekcourse final project, which comprise:  Project 1 involves interfacing an LCD with the MSP430 microcontroller to display two lines of 16 characters each. The first line on the LCD displays “EGT Department”, while the second line shows the university website address, “www.nku.edu”. Students will learn how to understand the LCD hardware interface and timing diagram, configure the LCD, and write several programmer-defined functions.  Project 2 explores keypad programming and interfacing, which is a fundamental practice in embedded systems.

To avoid altering thecontent, the use of pronouns and other aspects of the language used has not been changed.Q2: Should we have students use CAS calculators?I think having a fundamental understanding, same as students have in algebraic manipulations,is very important for flexibility in applications.They should learn how to do it without the CAS, then be allowed to use it for faster results.Yes, Basic is important, but when you are working with large amount of computation knowingyour calculator is best. I believe that teaching the fundamentals is needed before a CAS is allowed. After the student istested using only traditional means

For example, the topic of Additive Manufacturing, whichconstituted only two percent of the retrieved manufacturing-related activities has beenpopular among K-12 educators for at least a decade, at the emergence of three-dimensional (3D) printing era [10]. Such printers became a necessity in makerspaces andas one of the first I4.0-related activities in K-12 settings.

Sometimes it would take 10 minutes to get setup.”. Another student mentioned “When writing on the actual whiteboard in class, it was difficultto see.”Future Recommendation For design and development of a HyFlex course instructor needs to focus on onlineasynchronous modality first.

. In engineering programs,laboratory courses provide an intensive overview of experimental methods and relatedunderlying theories of manufacturing. Upon program completion, the ETECH graduate andengineering graduate entering industry will likely have similar positions in design, processengineering, manufacturing, research and development, or technical sales and services. TheETECH graduate is prepared to immediately begin technical assignments in their specialty areasince programs stress current industrial practices and design procedures. They “hit the groundrunning” in the words of many employers. The engineering graduate typically requires a periodof internship since engineering programs stress fundamental concepts over applications.PSU’s
