Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), Industrial Engineering (IE), MaterialScience Engineering (MSE), and Mechanical Engineering (ME) had two students each.Chemical Engineering (ChE), Computer Graphics Technology (CGT), Earth, Atmospheric, andPlanetary Sciences (EAPS), Information Technology (IT), and Nuclear Engineering (NE) eachhad one project. The diversity in student project topics is apparent, as well as the overalltechnical level of the work. The RS students were able to successfully integrate into a workinglaboratory, learn the existing processes and procedures to be able to
example, sophomore electrical engineering students use a cleanroom forfabricating solar cells from scratch. Students have key-card access to buildings twenty-four hoursper day to facilitate project work on their own schedules.More than two-thirds of PCEC courses have lab components. Throughout their coursework,engineering and computing students are involved in industry-sponsored projects that providetangible experience solving real problems. There are ample opportunities for students to engagewith faculty on applied research and development and many students work alongside faculty inlabs or R&D facilities in addition to their regular coursework. Most importantly, PCEC studentscomplete mandatory co-op or internship placements as a requirement

[12] introduced a QC course aimed atbridging the gap between popular science articles and advanced undergraduate textbooks throughinteractive problem sets and simulation-based labs for active learning. However, their targetaudience consisted primarily of high school students. Similarly, Uhlig et al. [13] reported on agroup project in a cybersecurity course that sparked significant interest in QC among graduatestudents, motivating them to delve deeper into this complex subject.Other studies have focused on adapting QC education for undergraduate students without aphysics background. Carrascal et al. [14] demonstrated the effectiveness of using

In thisimplementation, the instructor designed a new module to encourage students to evaluateadvancements in technology with an economic perspective and critical thinking in addition totechnical analysis in an Electrical Power Systems course that covers fundamental principles inthe power and energy discipline.The need to develop low-emission and alternative energy resources is driving
engineering, the college recently adopted a commoncore curriculum for first year students. The common core engineering curriculum emphasizes threeaspects – 1) Computational Thinking and Data Science; 2) Bio-Inspired Design and 3) Socio-TechnicalReflections. Introductory courses related to these topics have been developed and are required of allfirst-year engineering students regardless of their intended major. The development of these introductorycourses were based on a variety of factors including, trends identified by professional engineeringsocieties, evaluation of job advertisements, discussions with industry groups, exit interviews of studentsas well as review of pedagogic literature (e.g., Talmi et al., 2018; McGunagle and Ziska, 2020; Lavi

Engineering Service Learning Course with a High School Robotics TeamAbstractThrough service learning, both students and community partners help fulfill each other’s needs.A robotics service-learning course teaches the principles of robotics through hands-on activitiesand requires each student to participate in mentoring high school robotics team. Through theserelationships, students gain a deeper understanding of the principles of robotics from theclassroom, through teaching those principles to others and helping their mentored team solveproblems. Students gain an appreciation for, and capability to, inspire younger generations toengage in STEM activities.The course integrates STEM outreach into the engineering curriculum as a major

In Chapter 4 TheCouncil (1986) Curriculum, 3+2 curriculum is mentioned as a recent proposal for the engineering curriculum. The report considers 3+2 programs as experimental approaches to the professional model.Payton et al.

evolution of the curriculum experience andinstructional materials in the “Soft Robotics to Broaden the STEM Pipeline” project (DRL1513175) [28-31]. In its present iteration, the lesson and design challenge span 5-7 days (of 90minute classes) and includes instruction on pneumatic principles and fabrication instructions tomake an entirely soft, air-powered robot end effector, or gripper, as a design team. Students arepresented the challenge to design a soft robotic gripper for use in an agricultural operation(Figure 3). Then, students are supported through an iterative process of exploration, informationgathering, and testing on soft robotic fingers, before making predictions and attempts at acompleted soft robotic gripper (Figure 2).Unique to this

Another finding was that students engaged in design projectsgenerally do not consider broad context [4]. A thrust of the current college-wide curricularmodification is the inclusion of PBL and EML in the junior year, such as the present work. Thisshould positively impact capstone design experiences in senior year by providing additionalsmaller-scale design experience (PBL and EML) and encouraging students to consider allstakeholders and the

Project topics are interdisciplinary in nature, involvingmanufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and integration ofvarious computer hardware and software. Students in teams of two or three are given a vagueproject description in the beginning of the semester, such as designing a rotary storage andretrieval system, which primarily includes a robot and a barcode reader. Project teams firstdevelop a conceptual model with various alternative components. They discuss their designs andthe integration issues with the instructor, teaching assistant, and

That said, Sun et. al9. advocate forthe use of applied mathematical project work as means of better preparing students forengineering graduate school and Siegenthaler pushes for plowing through a rigorous text byArfken and Weber on mathematical physics10.

These applications illustrate the tremendous variation in both the geographic scale of the problem or issue being addressed and use of geographic information in these applications (7 Longley et al., 2005).

These needs are reflected in the following research reports issues by the Federal government: The 2004 U.S. Department of Labor report Geospatial Industry Snapshot identified 12 diverse geospatial-related occupations, and employment in each was projected to increase
