By developing these skills, the students can be equipped with theright tools needed to be successful for creating ideas and enhancing what they already know.Table 2. Objectives for student learning from course syllabusConclusionThis paper has shown a project where the students designed, built and tested a thermoformingapparatus and compared experiments with Ansys Polyflow simulations of the draping process.The project offered an opportunity for students to experience classroom learning together withreal-world applications of the thermoforming process.Bibliography[1] M.

learned it before but the development tool is also easy to acquire and lots of applicationnotes are available to use after the soft processor or controller is implemented in FPGA. 3. Method of implementationThere will be three phases of learning with this proposal. The first part of the teaching and learningobjective in this sequence is to cover the fundamentals of digital electronics, namely, the logic gates andflip flops as well as their applications. It's not necessary to introduce advanced HDL at this level becausea HDL will not help students in understanding the application of digital systems, rather in theimplementation of a digital design. At this level, students are still needed to wire protoboards, to knowthe traditional MSI circuits

A lecture-style class is undeniably the focal point in designing amathematics rich course like fluid mechanics, but it’s equally demanding practical dimensions canonly be fully comprehended through the integration of a well-developed laboratory practiceconsistent with the lecture content. In this context, we developed a laboratory exercise for theME 310: Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics, which is a required course for junior undergraduatestudents in the Mechanical Engineering major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.The laboratory exercise that the authors developed focuses on the operation of centrifugal pumpsin three possible configurations: single, series, and parallel.

Moreover, they are introduced to thehardware and how it is used for data acquisition and analysis. A sample system set-up isdiscussed and demonstrated to the class. Signal processing fundamentals are discussed in thelectures as well. Additional research may be required in some cases when it comes to furtheringtheir understanding of the problem, fabricating a set-up, writing the required software code, andso on.Between 25 and 30 students are divided into groups of 3 or 4 members each to work on variousaspects

These difficulties are furtherexacerbated for the topics of measurement (including data acquisition) and data analysis(including statistics) because many universities package these vast topics into one course. Inthis paper, we describe the process of redesigning a data

Spatial visualization or reasoning skills are definedas “visualizing three-dimensional objects and perceiving what they will look like from differentviewpoints or what they would look like if they were rotated or transformed in space” (Sorby etal., 2013). The aid of spatial visualization is imperative in larger engineering projects thatinvolve designing 3D objects in computer programs such as CAD and MATLAB.Water Chemistry is a required upper-level course at University of Colorado Boulder, wherestudents build on previous chemistry knowledge and focus on the fundamentals of inorganicaqueous compounds and contaminants.

No valves are allowed during week four. The studentsare challenged to perform predictive modeling of the flow resistance through each branch of thefountain network such that the precise ratio of flowrates to the two fountains is achieved. Theteam builds their system, their teaching assistant tests it, and they write an engineering lettersummarizing the success or failure of their system. The perspectives of the teaching assistants aresought to provide some indication of what aspects of the laboratory are effective, which suggestthat the design objectives are typically

, assessment methods, the students' backgrounds,and their feedback.IntroductionProject-based learning, particularly design-based projects, represents an extraordinarily effectivepedagogical method [1]. Similar to problem-based learning, design-based projects engagelearners actively in solving real-world challenges. This approach is widely acknowledged amongengineering educators as a means of shifting from passive to active learning paradigms withinthe classroom [2] [3] [4]. In this paper, I elucidate the integration of a design project into a bridgeexperiment within a Statics class, exemplifying the practical application and benefits of thiseducational approach.Class ProfileStatics, a fundamental branch of mechanics within engineering education, holds

Figure 1 illustrates the main steps in designing and deploying a virtual lab.2.1 Instructional DesignThe first factor to be considered when designing a virtual lab is related to the instructionaldesign for the intended activities. A well-conceived instructional design considers the learningobjectives, target audience, and desired outcomes of the lab activity and incorporatesinstructional strategies and tools that support student learning and development. Three keyelements are fundamental for an effective design [22]: Content, Assessment, and Pedagogy.By content, we mean defining clear learning objectives. By clearly articulating the learningobjectives

In addition to alecture that engaged students through active listening and participation (e.g., raising hands toagree with certain statements, answering brief questions, etc.), students also completed anactivity in which they practiced writing a value statement that could be used within an effectivepitch. Finally, after learning a few tips to communicate their pitch both verbally and visually,students were given time to begin formulating their own pitch for the assignment with theirproject team.In the BIOE 306
