Specifically, students are required to make a drone using 3D printed components.The revised engineering course with the new module has received extensive interests andpositive feedback from students. They learned how to apply the fundamentals, applications, andimplications of 3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) in a real-world project.1.

ideas on how toimplement this new course. However, every teaching method has its advantages as well as itsdifficulties, so effective instruction uses multiple approaches. One noteworthy comment fromLang [8] was the conclusion that “comprehension lies outside of the classroom.”BackgroundStudents at The Citadel take an institution-wide core curriculum in liberal arts, math and sciencethat comprises much of the first four semesters. For engineering majors, the majority of thecourses in the remaining four semesters builds on this foundation in the discipline-specificengineering.The approach taken by the Department of Mechanical Engineering begins with designing amulti-layered and dynamic educational experience for the students.

With the advance of virtual reality (VR) technologies in terms of bothsoftware and hardware, there is a need to advance the education with adopting advanced VRtechnologies. In this project, we present our latest results of developing new VR modules in AMcurriculum. Specifically, the developed VR modules for fusion deposition modeling and fatiguetesting will be presented. In the on-going research, students will be required to use the VR modulesin comparison with the physical lab experiments. The focus will be understanding the effectivenessof VR technology on engineering curriculum.1.

Within the mechatronics course at The Citadel, manymechanical engineering students comprehend some basics of the mechatronic disciplines, butnow must integrate these areas while implementing new devices for the labs. The suggestedapproach in the mechatronics course is a progressive project that builds on the previous iteration.Students can choose their own mechatronics application project.

ContextBeginning in the Fall of 2014 we instituted a major curriculum update in Electrical andComputer Engineering at the University of Virginia. Our basic three-course sequence of"Circuits," "Electronics," and "Signals and Systems" was replaced by a new sequence,"Fundamentals 1,2, and 3". Our approach focuses on a learning studio technique with highlyintegrated laboratory and lecture components [3],[4]. In each successive course, many of thesame topics are covered, and at an increasing depth of understanding. This approach has beenshown to increase learning of complex topics while minimizing the cognitive load at each phase[5].A substantial portion of this approach is a tightly integrated lecture-laboratory approach, i.e., alearning studio; our

analytical, computational, and/or experimental. The creation of the online course from the existing in-person, on-site course afforded anopportunity to take advantage of reconsidering the delivery of both the theoretical content andthe practical hands-on component. The conversion of an in-person course to an onlineasynchronous course requires more than simply capturing in-class video and making it available.For the Anytime-Anywhere Engineering Experimentation course, we used a learner-centeredapproach to course design. We employed a backwards design model in the creation of the coursecontent. Wiggins and McTighe describe backwards design as “an approach to designing acurriculum … that begins with the end in mind and designs towards that end”.[8

Also, we investigated the effectiveness of thedeveloped U/GTA training materials to improve U/GTA’s knowledge of writing pedagogy andtheir interventions to the undergraduates.This study did not intend to study the soundness of U/GTA’s lab report grading; therefore, wedid not assess how their evaluation skills changed during the study. Assessing the lab reportgrader’s skills should be a new research topic, in which the authors are interested as future work. 105.

students with practical andsometimes quite authentic experiences of what it means to be a disciplinary participant. One ofthose important knowledge practices is scientific documentation or keeping a lab notebook. Labnotebooks perform a number of key functions. They at once provide a record of a scientist’s orengineer’s work, serve as an important reference for other scientific genres, e.g., future reportsand/or articles, and perform as a kind of journal that enables questioning presuppositions,considering new approaches, and generating new ideas.Given the importance of notebooks, there is surprisingly little scholarship on how to teach theiruse.

Grading In Introductory Physics Laboratory CoursesAbstract Introductory physics laboratory courses are often among the first few laboratory coursesthat all students in engineering discipline take. The learning objectives of introductory physicslab courses, such as understanding experimental error and measurement uncertainty, are thefoundation to the more sophisticated laboratory oriented courses in the junior and senior levelengineering curriculum. However, as nearly all physics lab instructors can attest, many studentsfail to master certain lab skills that are related to understanding experimental error andmeasurement uncertainty, such as error analysis, linear regression, and reporting measurementsresults with appropriate uncertainty

the authors’ new Control Systems and Instrumentation course. The authors willoutline the student-centered learning approach taken to combine traditionally 3-4 courses intoone, 4-credit course. This resulted in a novel, lab-every-day course design in which lecture andlab were combined (labture) as a way to leverage hands-on learning with theoretical content (i.e.teach students how to use Engineering instruments while learning the theory behind thoseinstruments). The authors will describe and present student work on exemplar labtures andprojects as well as their formative and summative assessment strategies. Further, this paper willdemonstrate the benefits of the labture approach to student outcomes including performancemeasures, course

In order toreach this goal, students need to be exposed to projects that are related to real-world problemsthat include the typical complexity and uncertainty associated with these problems [3]. Studentsneed to learn how to frame a problem, analyze, design, manufacture and test it [4]. To meet theseneeds, educators need to revise and fit new contents to their courses, to shift the learningobjectives to focus on including design thinking and professional practice elements in courses.This has also been set as goal by the US Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET

In addition, immersion summer projectsprovide opportunities for students to start investigating research topics at earlier stages andpractice in depth concepts and foundational knowledge within real world challenges.Through programs like the one we describe here, one can enrich a curriculum with researchmethodologies and expose students to advancements in science and engineering as well asassess learning models of active learning, design, and leadership. 1Design and Research as Critical Elements

Learning of laboratory skills in any mode of laboratory isinfluenced by the interactions that occur between the students, instructors and the equipmentin the laboratory. Recent innovations have focused on developing new remotely controlledlaboratories for various disciplines in engineering studies. These laboratories focus purely ontechnical aspects and may struggle to provide an environment for the development ofpersonal and professional skills that are also a critical part of an engineering student’seducation.

Thisleaves them at a disadvantage both in terms of success in mastering the curriculum and level ofcompetitiveness for internships [1, 2]. As these students move through a typical engineeringcurriculum, a focus on abstract theory and mathematical concepts over physical applications andmeasurable observations will fail to give them the necessary hands-on experience, reducing thechances that the information will be retained over the long term [3]. Students who have specificlearning styles that favor physical experimentation and real-world experience are also left at

The authors made two recommendations and wewholeheartedly agree. 1. “In order to achieve educational goals, tools must be very carefullydesigned and thoroughly tested before they are presented to students.” 2. “To observe theeffectiveness of a new tool or a new approach in teaching/learning, frequent use of the interfaceis necessary.” Our own experiences also demonstrated that the students might become impatientin debugging the device and early intervention from the instructor to help them set up the systemis crucial for their confidence and interest in
