Bioengineering coursesAbstractCurrent engineering courses heavily rely on traditional lectures to cover engineeringconcepts. The engineering education community, however, recognizes that this is not thebest method for teaching engineering materials. Our team has focused on expanding theuse of well researched, though still new to engineering, teaching pedagogies of hands-on,active and problem-based learning through the development of Desktop LearningModules (DLMs).The DLMs contain miniaturized processes such as shell and tube or double pipe heatexchangers (chemical engineering) and hydraulic flow channels (civil engineering). Aunique expandable electronic system within the DLM connects with a sensor system,allowing cartridges to be interchanged. We are

The construction cost for material for theunderwater test field was kept below $1000.Many students are familiar with LEGO robotics on dry land. AUVs present many newchallenges: waterproofing conventional LEGO components, buoyancy, balance, and 3-D motion.Since completion of various tasks contributes different point values, the final total point value isa measure of how well the AUV has performed.

They were asked to rate their math preparedness forall the introductory engineering and engineering science courses. If they had rated themselveslow, they were asked about steps they had taken to address their deficiency.
