defined as the process of creating an intelligent and computable 3-D data set andsharing the data among the various types of professionals within the design and construction team.BIM technology enables the designer, engineer and builder to visualize the entire scope of abuilding project in 3-D and as well as attached schedule and cost data to the 3-D model andtherefore is ideal for being able to assist improve the collaboration among project participants.Designers and builders can plan-out, in precise detail, the location and clearances needed for acomplete and successful project. Therefore, the authors’ idea was to utilize BIM technologysoftware to enhance student-learning experience as is relates to MEP coordination.MEP Coordination Laboratory
. Subjects of this study are Sophomore and Junior Engineering students.In this study, data from a regular lecture course and programming course are considered.A. Student performance1) Programming CourseIn programming courses, exams are quite challenging for both students and instructors becausethere is more than one solution for a given problem. This data is measured from 2 semesters inthe same course, Spring 2020 (26 students) and Spring 2021 (16 students). Exams in 2020 werefully in-person and students had two hours to complete a closed-book exam. Students wereallowed to use the Microsoft Visual Studio application to write and debug their code and had tosubmit their work before leaving the exam. This exam was set to be a 2-hour exam however
in Manufacturing Simulation ProjectsAbstractSimulation is a core course for many Manufacturing Engineering related programs. This courseintroduces discrete event simulation methods with emphasis on application in manufacturingsystems or service systems. The topic of queueing theory in operations research is used to illustratethe importance of simulation as a problem-solving tool. Concepts and techniques of simulationmodeling are covered. It also requires statistical concepts and techniques to obtain representativedata, to apply the data and statistics to the modeling, and evaluate the results. To help the courselearning, term projects are usually assigned to the students. The authors have been teaching thiscourse
Obispo c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Laboratory Course Development for Biomedical Signals and SystemsAbstractWe have developed a MATLAB-based set of laboratory experiences for junior levelundergraduate students in Biomedical Engineering that focuses on integrating foundationalknowledge outside the discipline in to a systems analysis focused set of exercises. BiomedicalEngineering curricula tend to focus on a breadth of topics and require the development ofsignificant foundational knowledge outside of core program courses. This often leads to programsequences where students don’t interact with major specific courses until their junior year.Students, at

TypeI learners respond well to explanations of how course material relates to their experience, theirinterests, and their future careers as engineers. These individuals learn well through discussionand they excel at brainstorming. To be effective with Type I students, the instructor shouldfunction as a motivator. Thus, the instructor should develop ways to motivate these students andshow them how the course material fits into the big picture. Divergers want to interact personallywith the instructor and to be recognized as individuals. An instructor should monitor and witnessthe students' personal growth.

Computer Engineering department offersa senior-level DSP lab course (www.dsp.rice.edu/courses/elec434) based on the TITMS320C6211 DSP processor. When the course was first offered in Fall 2000 there were notextbooks available for this processor, and so Hyeokho Choi developed a text from scratch. Theinitial set of notes adapted the UIUC ECE 320 lab materials to the new processor (in LATEX). Overthe last two years, Rice has added more material covering the C6x processor architecture and C6xassembly language programming for students less familiar with microprocessor programming. Inaddition, since a DSP theory course is not a prerequisite to ELEC 434, the basic theory necessaryfor the lab experiments (such as filter design) is taught in the lecture
