During studio sessions, students work in teams to performcollaborative tasks with the aim of creating a solution for an engineering problem. The problemsare intentionally designed and inspired from real-world topics they will encounter in their futureprofessional careers [6-8].Quantifying student learning in response to the studio-based instruction can be challenging. Toaddress this, we focused our analysis on a specific case: student-developed solutions for thetreatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D), a biomedical problem discussed in both courses.Data collected from students’ final design submissions were used to address the followingquestion, that covered specific questions

Improving self-efficacy is therefore very important to the academic and futuresuccess of students.Understanding the design process and the application of technical skills is important for students.Outside of some labs and capstone courses, these concepts are not often put into practice inacademic settings. Since students do not have many opportunities to work on real-world problemsthroughout their college career, the UTDesign EPICS team wanted to measure the impact ofworking on real-world projects on learning the design process and motivation to complete work.We surveyed the students after the semester on these topics.

This paper reports progress and results oftwo real-world environmental sensing projects and the impact on graduate learning. The first project is the design and development of a microclimate system. This isa system for use on the land and incorporates sensors that can detect temperature, light,soil moisture, and soil temperature. The design with Crossbow motes, daughter sensorboard, and powering methods will be discussed in the paper. The second related project is a water quality monitor. The project is through thesupport and collaboration with a local non-profit organization, WATR. The water

Another study demonstrated that students are more likely tochoose engineering and stick with their choice if provided real world, authentic learningexperiences2. One suggestion to overcome the limits of traditional labs is to use field studies as apractical project-based learning that connects theory to practice.Project based learning has been stated to be the “application of knowledge” with tasks that aremore realistic and comparable to what practicing

The approach is to “learnDSP by doing,” with synthesis and design as the main vehicle.The course integrates classical DSP theory, structured experiments, and design projects. Itrequires prior knowledge of continuous and discrete-time signals and systems analysis, andfamiliarity with concepts and techniques such as linear time-invariant systems, convolution,correlation, and Fourier transforms. The course runs for a quarter of the academic year andincludes three hours of lecture presentations, eight experiments and a design project. In all of theabove

Second, the existing systems limitedadministrators to analyzing data from only one warehouse at a time. Because other commercial solutions wereunreasonably expensive and did not fit Trusted World's needs, these issues required students to considerbespoke solutions to the problem.In the following semesters, students implemented Trusted Inventory, a web and mobile application with anassociated API that was designed exclusively for Trusted World and its future licensees.Students in all semesters
