This paper discusses the instrumentation and the testing of the TKS hardware and associatedsoftware by an undergraduate engineering student. It includes the problems she had, how she changed thesimulation to match the hardware, and how this experience helped further her Engineering education. The TKS consisted of a hybrid analog/digital phase locked loop controlling a Voltage Controlled CrystalOscillator, with an atomic clock reference. The engineering development model and the finalhardware/software combination had minor differences. The Student had to design the tests, the test setup, andrun the tests on a

Education, 2017 Engagement in Practice: Adding Service Learning to an Online Introduction to Engineering CourseA wide body of research shows increased student engagement and student retention from the useof high-impact practices such as learning communities, first-year experiences, undergraduateresearch, or service learning. However, many of these practices pose challenges on a virtualcollege campus or in an online classroom. This paper explores a case study where servicelearning projects were incorporated into two introductory engineering classes, one taught in atraditional face-to-face format and the other taught online. In this case study, the face-to-facestudents worked in small groups with a local historical

Overthe years, coop jobs have migrated from intrinsically simple tasks to relatively importantfunctions where students actually join a project team and make significant contributions.Preparing them for these kinds of jobs requires more than the teaching of technical skills.Students must learn about group dynamics, teamwork and the acquisition and integration of newknowledge.
