Materials CourseAbstractOnline education has expanded quickly in recent years and offering an engineering curriculumonline has been limited by the ability to replicate lab experiments that are integral to somecourses. Some approaches to lab experiments in distance education or online courses have beenattempted including recording video of lab experiments or creating simulations of laboratoryexperiments that run virtually via the internet. This paper outlines the development of a set ofinexpensive, transportable lab experiments for students in a Mechanics of Materials courseoffered via distance education. The set of labs were developed to allow for hands-on learningwith a kit of supplies and a list of experiments that students could perform at home

The first two questions were multiple-choice. The rest of the questions were open-ended. It allowed students to freely respond and give insight into what they thought about using AI in engineering education. Findings and Discussion Question 1 Students today use technology in engineering education. Some of these technologies are software programs, applications, and the Internet.

The proliferation of these tools in ecology since the 1970s has led to the use of GIS learning tools in classrooms beginning in the 1990s [15], [20], [29] – [41]. For instance, Henry and Semple [15] have used a home-grown GIS software called H2O MAPPER to teach students about water quality and land use for different watersheds in Michigan, and Solís et al.

Additionally, somedatasets demand much effort for preprocessing and a steep learning curve for understanding,which detracts from the ML experience and leaves students frustrated.

. A proportional valve in thebreathing circuit then reduces the pressure further to the programmed peak inspiratory pressure(PIP). This is accomplished by sensing both pressure and flow in the airway directly read by asensor card in the control module. An O2 sensor is used to ensure the programmed FiO2 isreached. A Patient Inflating Valve (PIV) closes the airway during expiration. The expired airfrom the patient is ducted to the rear of the machine, where a positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP) valve may be installed to provide PEEP. The valves all operate at a safe 24V, gated bypower transistors on a card in the control module.Benefits of the PolyVent Platform for Educational Applications Figure 3: The PolyVent Educational Platform
