Non-EE engineering studentshave the need for hands-on experience to increase their ability and confidence in tacklingelectrical and electronics concepts, especially during the realization phase of a Mechatronicsproject. To address this need, we started developing a suit of functional teaching modules. Thesefunctional modules are intended as bolt-on building blocks with clearly defined inputs andoutputs, and an explanation of the underlying operational principles. The students are expected touse the functional modules as a learning tool. After

At the time, the “ElectronicsGroup” consisted of three degree granting departments: Computer Systems EngineeringTechnology, Electronics Systems Engineering Technology, and Laser Electro-Optics Technology.With a faculty numbering ten full-time and several adjuncts, the group had what this author likesto term “critical mass”. Shear numbers offered the faculty flexibility to teach topics in differentareas (computers, lasers, and the legacy electronics area) and to develop new courses for theserapidly changing technologies.

The rest of the semester is then devoted to develop the necessary skills todesign and retrofit processes so the environmental impact is minimized. To accomplish this,students learn basic optimization theory, from unconstrained optimization to linear and non-linear programming modeling.

Further studies indicate that a range of covert and overt behaviors continue to contributeto the chilly climate, especially for women who pursue engineering degrees. Small but consistentmessages and behaviors reinforce sexist expectations and decrease women’s overall sense ofself-competence in undergraduate classrooms.16 Fischer and Good, for example

Atranscendental function cannot be written as a finite combination of algebraicexpressions. The key word is FINITE. This fact, in most cases eliminates theequation form from ever being seen by students.

We used a single case studymethodology to examine the counternarrative of Andre, an Afro-Latino male undergraduatecomputer engineering student who took an engineering course that integrated issues of racialinequality. We found that Andre’s social identity was not only related to but was inseparablefrom his engineering identity in that he identified as a “Black engineer.” His experiences as aBlack person caused him to have a personal connection to his critiques of social oppression, andhe learned how he might have a role in working toward social justice through engineering
