Industry-aligned capstone designprojects are often cited as examples of authentic, situated technical communication [6]. Althoughthis is true, capstone design is one of the last courses in the undergraduate program, which leaveslittle room for growth and refinement prior to graduation. There is clearly a need to embedindustry-aligned, situated communications experiences earlier in the program of study.In this paper, we build on prior work in engineering education by introducing a within-discipline,large-enrollment GS technical communications course, called Technical Communications, forfirst-year

the standard for design instruction across the curriculum of the MEprogram at UVU.In the current program curriculum, there are 3 classes that are being used to evaluate design aspart of the ABET evaluation (ABET Student Outcome 2). These classes occur in the third andfourth years of the ME program. While these three courses offer the best opportunity to evaluatestudents’ performance related to ABET Outcome 2, it doesn’t allow the faculty to see howstudents’ understanding of the engineering design process improves and evolves over the courseof their studies. It is proposed to offer formal coverage of at least a portion of the standardengineering design process in courses occurring in each semester during the 2nd and 3rd year ofstudy. These

A survey wasdistributed among students enrolled in 6 core AIMS courses over the past 2 years with recordedresponses from 38 graduate students and 98 undergraduate students. Students were askedquestions related to ESE [10] and EJ [7] based on the articles referenced. An example questionfor ESE was “I can do well in an engineering major during the current academic year” and for EJwas “I can determine when a calculation or estimation is good or precise enough”. The levels ofagreement for the questions were indicated by a Likert scale (Table 1

In this work, a completely refurbished dynamic systems laboratorycourse is implemented into an undergraduate mechanical engineering program for the purpose ofproducing excellence in student learning and engagement. The new laboratory assignmentsinvolve physical experimentation, which is a modification to the previous course that includedonly simulation projects. Custom-made exercises include physical measurement and analysis ofsound pressure signals, and reverse engineering of products using the Raspberry Pi computeplatform. Coding of Raspberry Pi boards is accomplished using MATLAB Online and SimulinkOnline. Student engagement with both the new hardware-based course and previoussimulation-based course are assessed using

In addition, problems can also be scaffolded so that studentsreceive instantaneous feedback on intermediate stages of a complex problem. Furthermore, theauthors have often grappled with how to best grade programming-based assignments. MATLABGrader is an excellent platform that addresses these objectives and desires. This work is unique in that, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the use of MATLABgrader in mechanical engineering courses is not well-documented. There is more evidence of itsuse in the electrical/computer engineering discipline, but evidence of its use in mechanicalengineering is more limited. As a

Space Mechanisms: An undergraduate controls course for mechanical engineering studentsAbstractStudents in a traditional undergraduate mechanical engineering program typically take a controlscourse during their junior or senior year. Often, these courses are highly theoretical and may ormay not have a corresponding lab component. Students often struggle to connect thefundamentals of feedback control systems with practical hardware and software implementation.To address this crucial learning gap and to foster more engaging learning experiences, a newtechnical elective was developed at the Milwaukee School of Engineering titled “Simulation andControl of Space Mechanisms.” The new course is a follow-on course to a

perceived barriers to adoption.IntroductionEngineering programs are designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills needed tobecome successful engineers. There are inherent differences between the academic andworkplace contexts that are widely discussed in literature [1], [2], [3]. The application of contentin the academic context is quite different from the real world. Academic problems tend to have aclear, step-by-step solution that often leads to a single answer. Conversely, engineering problemstend to be ill-structured and ambiguous without a single clear answer [4]. Some of the reasonsfor these differences relate to the scaffolding required to introduce students to concepts and toassist with the evaluation of learning outcomes. This
