Note that some systems combine elements of more thanone of the approaches.Dissemination systems3-11 are those in which materials are prepared by the instructor and thendisseminated to the student, usually via the internet. The types of information that aredisseminated include lecture notes and slides, homework problems, and sometimes solutions. Inessence, these dissemination systems serve as an online textbook and do not really change themethods of instruction and subsequent understanding.Demonstration systems7,12,13 are those that give students hands-on experience with Staticsproblems. For example, some systems pose a problem and let the student vary either thegeometry or the forcing functions, and then observe (possibly via a plot or
theavailable literature (over 6700 papers are found when searching the ASEE conferenceproceeding search engine for “real world”) to encourage incorporation of these examples inindividual classrooms. Such examples may be found in many fields and increase the depth oflearning for a given principle while exposing the students to different career choices.Students in many engineering programs, including the one at the authors’ institution, are inmanufacturing dominated geographical areas. As students studying biomedical engineering arenot a large proportion of the population, most students are less likely to have been exposed tobiomedical applications of engineering principles than industrial ones. This lack of exposureblinds them to the potential of
molecules as nano bio robots with applications in new drug design.

first-time conference organizers, their solutions, and how to use theexisting infrastructure of the school to reduce staffing requirements.Intr oductionThe number of undergraduate research conferences has exploded in the past decade for a varietyof reasons. Recommendations from academic leaders1,2,3,4 to establish more opportunities formeaningful undergraduate research experiences have increased the need to create venues thatallow students to present their work. Further, quantitative studies5,6 measuring the success ofsuch undergraduate conferences are beginning to appear and the results are spurring moreuniversities to develop similar programs.

appliances in a home environment. The wireless sensor and actuator network consists ofmultiple measurement nodes and a central server module, where the measurement nodes havetwo-way communication with the central server module. Each measurement node in the networkis connected to and reads the energy use of one AC appliance, and wirelessly reports the readingsto the central server module for processing. The server displays the readings from these nodesthrough a user visual interface in real time. This system can help users better understand theirelectricity usage patterns and adapt their behavior to reduce their energy consumption and costs.Figure 1 shows an application of this wireless energy monitoring system in a home scenario,where the

Some of the current applications of such manipulators include spacecraft, remotemanipulation and radioactive material handling in nuclear power plants. Due to their flexiblenature, induced vibrations appear in the system during and after a positioning motion 2,3. Thisrestricts their wide spread use in industry. A considerable amount of research work has alreadybeen carried out on the vibration control of flexible manipulators. However, a generic solution tothe problem is yet to be obtained 4,5.To formulate and implement an effective control strategy for

Digital transformation is applicable across all fieldsof engineering, not just the communications and computing fields that are predominatelyassociated with the topic45. Privacy by Design (PbD) principles, as an example, refer to ICTsystems46, but (e.g. through IoT) other engineering fields (e.g., Civil47, Mechanical48, Water49)may also implicate privacy. PbD assumes Privacy as a value (and many ethical frameworks valueprivacy). Methods for evaluating technology developments against privacy principles and valuesare not widely standardized50 – they rather rely on some Privacy Impact

These different tools support the varied learning styles of the students. Thepurpose of this concept introduction stage is to allow the students to gain a preliminaryunderstanding of the basic facts related to the LSM topics. This preliminary understandingprepares them for the deeper dive they will face during the class sessions. Moreover, theinstructor is freed from delving into the fundamentals of each LSM topic, thereby allowing himto devote more of the class time towards analysis and application of the LSM topics to problemsolving.

Introduction The incorporation of serious games and online learning software technology into U.S.classrooms has steadily increased over the last two decades (Yuan, Folmer, & Harris, 2011) dueto the heightened use of recreational digital games, the internet, virtual reality environments, andadvances in gaming technology (Kron, Gjerde, Sen, & Fetters, 2010).

comprehensive research program to promote hands-onlearning. We have reported on the effects of LCDLMs on students' motivation and learningstrategies skills in past publications. However, little is known about how different students learnwith LCDLMs. Such studies are needed to further establish the robustness of LCDLMs forimproving different students’ learning and motivation to learn. The present study begins to fillthis gap by examining if LCDLMs offer differential benefits or effects based on the gender ofparticipants who used these LCDLMs. If LCDLMs are equally beneficial for men and women,this could suggest that they are effective for all genders. This would be a valuable contribution tothe existing research on gender inequality in STEM, which has
