Page 13.1168.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Teaching Multi-Body Dynamics in an Undergraduate Curriculum: An Intuitive and Explicit Formalism Based on Parasitic ElementsAbstractTypical undergraduate mechanical engineering curricula in North America do not include acourse in multi-body dynamics. A rigid body dynamics course covering single-body kinetics isusually completed in early semesters, and often the material is not revisited before graduation.Students typically graduate without a sense of how to simulate the forward dynamics of evensimple multi-body systems such as slider-crank or four-bar mechanisms. Engineers should havesome increased depth of understanding in this

The North Carolina A&T State University (NCA&T) Case Studiesin Science and Engineering Enrichment Lab program is an informal science and engineeringeducation program in its third year of operation. It is a hands-on STEM program that uses guidedinquiry and case studies to teach critical process skills for scientific inquiry for middle schoolfemale, minority students. The overarching goal is to identify how an all-female environmentcoupled with informal STEM learning experiences can build female learner’s confidence inscience and math. Hence, this intervention seeks to counteract negative gendered stereotypes andpeer pressure that middle school girls experience in the 6th – 8th grade level

administer weekly quizzes to a classenrollment of almost 400 students with minimal grading help. As we were unable to createmultiple quizzes in one semester, we can evaluate whether multiple quizzes are necessary to seethe increase in student learning. Our comparison is between students enrolled in Fall 2021 andFall 2022. Both semesters required daily homework quizzes in Moodle (3 attempts, highest scoretaken), but for Fall 2022 the on-paper homework was left as optional and the weekly quiz wasimplemented. We show a slight improvement in the average midterm grades despite having onlyone attempt at most quizzes.IntroductionThe goal of all engineering education is for students to learn and retain the material to asufficient extent that they can apply
instruments that can be usedby patients at rehabilitation clinics or privately at their homes to recover and regain independencepost stroke. Unfortunately, many rehabilitation protocols recommended by therapists suffer fromlow compliance by patients due to boredom, lack of end goal, reliance on others, etc. Thus, thegoal of this engineering project is to promote the use of robot-mediated tele-rehabilitation througha low-cost system that leverages citizen science to engage patients in rehabilitation exercises, whileadvancing knowledge and research [38], [39]. For post-stroke hand rehabilitation, current tele-rehabilitation devices can measure the hand’s position in space and forces applied by it. However,such devices are not capable of recording joint

The challenges faced by the PD facilitators and teachers clearlyillustrate that one-day NGSS PD is not enough to make the shift from the Common Core StateStandards for Science to the NGSS. Intensive and rigorous practice of addressing each of the threedimensions of NGSS along with the incorporation of engineering practices is necessary.How to incorporate 5E’s: Many teachers were concerned about the rigor of creating lessons byfollowing a 5E framework. The illustration of facilitator created lessons during Week 1 of the PDhelped them observe first-hand the utility of the framework in addressing student misconceptions.It was also found that

learningbased on the sequence of materials presented in a textbook. The authors suggest that intraditional topic based learning, the “knowledge transmission” depends upon the instructor andhow he or she designs and delivers the material given in the text book. It has little correlationwith what is the contemporary need of the industry. On the other hand, project based learningrepresents more active learning2. Project based learning is sometimes viewed as problem basedlearning, especially in the medical education as both approaches require self-direction andcollaboration among multiple disciplines3. However, there are some clear differences betweenthe two learning approaches. For example, according to Perrenet et al.4, project work is more
