dynamics concepts throughexperimentation. Considerable gamification applications have been made in industrialengineering whereby some concepts, such as transportation and logistics lend themselvesnaturally to game concepts [35]. Beyond these games, simulation-based approaches toengineering education trend towards gamification, as depicted in Figure 4. Some examplesinclude the Mouse Factory, an interactive pedagogy focused simulation of a computer mousefactory that is useful for education in Design of Experiments [36], Control Charts [37], andprocess improvement [38], and AnyLogic, as seen in Figure 4, which provides an agent basedsimulation environment used in industry and academia to experiment with various design anddecision considerations in

Overall, I feel that this is a great class to have prior to any other courses in order to get a solid foundation and understanding of what’s going on now and in the future.”Student #4 “When I started this course I didn’t expect lower level math to be involved. I was surprised to learn that I was able to take to Ohm’s Law very well as it became a staple for the rest of the term. I also didn’t expect that simulations would play a major role to understand the basics of engineering. I was surprised to find out how well the simulations explained the validated things like electric
user. The term informatics,in general, refers to the science of collecting, organizing, and disseminating information topeople using computers [11]. In the context of our AR system discussed in this work, actionableinformation is shared with the people wearing the AR device. This information can be a simplelabel, a detailed simulation report, an audio or video file, a CAD model, or an animation. Themain objective is to empower the user to perform the action correctly and educate them withcontextual information. This ability to offer just-in-time informatics in the physical workspace ofa potential user creates new opportunities for workforce training, that include transfer ofknowledge from experts to trainees, rapid acquisition of new skills

positionwas: “My first paid professional experience was in an experiential program with the Louis StokesAlliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) in a biomedical engineering lab, and I helped oneof the graduate students in devloping a process that could assist individuals with high thoracicspinal cord injuries. They were in the early stages of creating this device, so I worked closelywith their test animals, the lab rats. I ran baseline tests on the animals, seeing how they reactedphysiologically to sounds with a normal nervous system. Then they would induce spinal corddamage, and we would repeat the sound tests to see if their reaction to the noise changed. Ilearned a lot about data analytics in this position.

spectraldecompositions of a tensor and their physical significance. In this paper we discuss howthe authors make use of the software package Mathematica to create lectures allowing oneto expose key concepts by taking advantage of the programming, manipulation, visual-ization, and animation capabilities of the computer program Mathematica, developed byWolfram Research. The emphasis of this paper is as much on the way a lecture can bedelivered using Mathematica as it is on the specific examples presented. In other words,we want to illustrate that software such as Mathematica, by combining symbolic manipu-lation, computation, and visualization, allows one to turn “a laptop and a projector” intoan “electronic color-board” which makes for effective and dynamic
-solving procedurals. The objectives of anengineering mechanics course often include conceptual and procedural understanding of coursecontent. For example, for an engineering dynamics course, an important course objective is forstudents to develop a solid understanding of fundamental concepts, such as Newton’s SecondLaw, the Principle of Work and Energy, the Principle of Linear Impulse and Momentum, and theConservation of Linear Momentum.To help students to understand fundamental concepts, a variety of instructional approaches andassessment tools, such as concept inventories 17, computer simulation and animation 18, videogames 19, and concept mapping 12, 20-23 have been developed and employed. For instance,Cornwell 23 developed concept maps for

The client software contains avirtual teach pendant (VTP) that looks and works just like the actual teach pendant that comeswith the robot to control and program it. Once a connection is made, the entire functionality ofthe robot can be controlled over the Internet by a remote student using the VTP.Finally, the e-Lab was also equipped with three student stations to be used by the local students.Each station contains a laptop computer and a touch monitor connected to it. Just like theremote students, the local ones are connected to the equipment over the network. Touchmonitors were used to simulate the operator interface of modern machines found in

The secondstudent team constructed an unmanned quad-coptor outfitted with monitoring devices. The quad-coptor can locate and record the status of an object (human or animal). The data collected by the quad-coptor can be analyzed in a central location. The project consisted of the following tasks: i) build a quad-copter; ii) use ChipKit Max32 microcontroller development platform; iii) develop a software PID controller; iv) build a mobile monitoring device that would

This team also chose Flash as the mostappropriate software for this purpose. The multimedia aspects of the web-based EngineeringStatics course were largely developed in two dimensions, yet effectively communicate abstractconcepts. Furthermore, the interactive models often require the user to make and test hypotheses,such as those related to static equilibrium [10].Around 2013, V. Carbonell et al.

order to simulate an 8 degree tilt angle of the tube.The rectangular computational domain was the same as the projected area in theexperiments with dimensions width x height = 2400 mm x 200 mm which was used in allof the trials. The flow region was evenly split with the fresh water on the top and the saltwater below which was a standard setting. The computational domain was meshed usinga biased mesh in the vertical direction, see Figure 5a). The simulation was run with a timestep of 0.01s during 650 time steps for a total of 6.5 s. Surface tension interactionbetween the two layers was set to 0.00148 N/m.The streamwise development of waves including the volume fraction during thesimulation is shown in Figure 5b).

For example, the materialsand manufacturing course is offered in both the University of Oklahoma (OU) andTuskegee University (TU) in a traditional style and is found that the students often havedifficulties understanding abstract concepts and lose their interests. The medium ofinstruction that engages students’ learning complex engineering concepts is necessary intoday’s changing world.Learning through a medium that combines course materials with interactive visualizationand simulation is proven to be a very powerful tool for engineering education. Accordingto recent NSF funded projects it has been found than students learn best when (i)presented with organized information that relates in some way to their own experiences,and

Next, the students are given a mini designchallenge which introduces them to the iterative design process and teaches them about some ofthe factors that they will need to consider in their final design. Over the next class sessions, thestudents go through the online content with interactive animations and computer simulationswhile performing hands on activities that parallel the online module, reinforcing the technicalconcepts for the students so they have a better understanding of the material. Once finished withthe online content, computer simulation and hands on activities, the students design, build,evaluate and report on their final design

Participants each had their own workstations, and were encouraged to communicate with others (both local and remote) only through the chat client, to simulate the entire class being remote. A video projector was used to display instructor lecture materials and live robot video from WSU on a screen at the front of the room. During the 2 days of obstacle avoidance using the LEGO/Handy Board platform, the class relocated to the previous undergraduate robotics lab, and worked in teacher-student pairs
