current version of the tutorial. The authors also plan to extend the tutorials toincorporate digital control system design and Simulink. Java programs will be incorporatedinto the examples to animate the response of physical systems in the open-loop and withfeedback control; the interactive nature of Java will allow the user to change the feedbackgains or other control and system parameters. However, the success of the concept indicates that other applications are possible. Areasonable first step is extending the tutorials for other software packages used for controls,such as Mathematica. However there is no reason to limit the concept to the controls area.We hope to extend the use of the tutorial concept to other useful engineering packages
with the master's project will help the institutionmeet the needs of the community that it serves. California State University, Sacramento (CSUS)is located in a region with many employment opportunities in the semiconductor industry."Silicon Valley" is nearby, and the greater Sacramento area itself is a growing technology center.The College of Engineering at CSUS offers Master of Science degree programs in Electrical andElectronic Engineering (EEE), Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science,and Computer Engineering. The institution does not offer doctoral degrees. It should be notedthat CSUS requires that master's project teams be no larger than two students. Each student on alarger design team must therefore be assigned
tothe identification of a client or customer base that self-conceived project-teams without atargeted consumer are either asked to rethink the concept or are not approved.By guiding learners toward the entrepreneurial-mindset with real world application andaccountability, the program endeavors to make the complexities of authentic engineering designmore tractable, bringing tasks within the learner’s zone of proximal development [19,20]. Theinstructor’s role is that of a mentor and facilitator, never the client, to scaffold this transition andmake the process attainable. Below is a list of targeted learning outcomes, where the successfulstudent exhibits the ability to: Translate in-classroom theory into real world design using professional
Hands-On Learning: A Case Study on Project-Based Learning in Advanced Manufacturing and Additive Manufacturing Courses1. IntroductionAdvanced manufacturing integrates cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, artificialintelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Additive Manufacturing. Advanced manufacturingtechnologies are fundamental to Industry 4.0. Educating students in these areas is crucial todeveloping a workforce capable of innovating and managing highly automated manufacturingsystems. Modern manufacturing systems require interdisciplinary knowledge spanningmechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineering. Therefore, teaching methods formodern manufacturing should emphasize creative thinking
try to make an effort. Though the students do not “like” the quizzes,many end-of-course critiques indicate an appreciation for them.“Gee Whiz” Presentations (5 min). In most classes, following the quiz or review, one studentgives an informal oral presentation covering some materials engineering application they havefound in a magazine, newspaper, Internet, etc. Some of them bring in hands-on examples, whichcan be related to the particular block of material we are covering in class, though not required.They are limited to 3 minutes and asked to discuss their example from an engineering materialsperspective. Over the years this has been found to be very effective in heightening the awarenessof material applications around them and increasing

learned for thedevelopment of open-source online materials.IntroductionIn recent years there has been a movement in Creative Commons, open-source software, OpenEducational Resources (OERs), and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to foster acollaborative, community-centered mindset towards learning and education, remove the paywalland make education accessible to anyone with an internet connection. In the universityenvironment, OERs have allowed expensive textbooks to be replaced with high-quality onlineresources. Because adaptation and customization of existing resources are welcomed (as definedin the license for each resource), instructors can tailor resources specifically for their course, thusfilling a gap in what is currently available for

objectiveof the project was for students to demonstrate ability to work effectively with a team toresearch, develop, and communicate creative, sound, and appropriate responses to animportant societal issue. This statement is consistent with the stated learning outcomesof the courses and with the program level outcomes of the mechanical engineeringcurriculum. The project required many levels of critical thinking, including synthesis andevaluation.All groups were assigned the task to develop solutions to the following problem: Whatmix of conventional and renewable energy sources should be in place in Iowa by the year2015? Recommend actions that will assure those sources are in place at the desiredtime.The assignment involved several components
context of theaerospace engineering program at GIT.Aerospace engineering requires depth of understanding. Engineering recruitment in industry andgovernment is usually based on perceived depth. Engineering curricula are designed on thereasoning that a firm foundation in basic disciplines gives the graduate a lifetime to gain breadth.Universities also try hard to “teach students to work in teams”, build breadth into the curriculumand retain the interest of learners in STEM (science/ technology/engineering/mathematics)careers, without compromising on depth or rigor of specialized learning or increasing time to 1graduation. Beyond preparatory first year courses, a course

This is a powerful learning asset: it increases the net experience of everystudent, because students are not limited to personal experiences with their own tasks, but canalso absorb the experiences of others around them.Second, the curricula of both traditional robotics courses included equal amounts of hands-onrobot mechanical design (using LEGOs as primary structural elements) and principles ofsoftware control (including elementary programming constructs and sensory feedback). Thefinal contest robots in each course could be successful only if they had efficient geartrains, robustframes, and effective behavioral software. The balance between modularity and integration waskey. Multi-student groups
