-controlled test and measurement equipment [7-8]. Moreover,ironically enough, the high cost of fabrication and testing of MEMS/NEMS devices often leads tovery superficial, demonstration-style laboratory courses, even though this new engineering field canbe a unique opportunity to foster important skills by exposing students to disciplines outside of theirmajor. As a result, the students are mere observers in these high-tech laboratories. One possible solution to the critical need for laboratory experience is to develop a student-centered learning environment based on the use of inexpensive portable micro-experiments. Thispaper reports on our experience in developing such a low-cost, hands-on exercise in the design anduse of microcantilever

The total expense report forthe project as described was $273, well below the $400 limit. Discussion: For development of a classroom laboratory experience based on this senior designproject, the following lesson outline was constructed. We have not yet implemented a large-scale classroom-laboratory experience for all engineering students from this design project. Objective: To understand the interaction between design, design criteria and materialsproperties. Design of an application based on a materials property study/exploration. Can beused as

The key contents of this course are to describe and explain the mechanicalbehaviors of materials, to derive and implement stress/strain theories under different loadings forthe purpose of preparing students to perform product designs. It is well known that these contentsare difficult for students to grasp by simply reading textbooks or attending lectures [1,2]. Thecourse is generally accompanied by a set of laboratory experiments for the purposes ofdisplaying mechanical behaviors of a specimen under loadings and reinforcing students’understanding of stress/strain theories [3,4].The course at Wentworth Institute of Technology has a format of 3-2-4, which is 3 hours lecture,2 hours lab per week for a total of

continuousbasis, and some of the lessons that have been learned along the way.BackgroundDuring the mid-1980s, there arose an increased concern with the marketability of engineeringgraduates. In concert with a very competitive job market, industry recruiters began to seekgraduates who were not only technically capable, but who were also proficient in “people skills”and “communication skills.” At the same time, engineering programs began to expand andenhance design education experiences, including significant opportunities for team-basedactivities. Success in these depended strongly on productive interpersonal relationships amongteam members as well as clear understanding of customer needs and communication.

Creating such an environment is impractical for mosteducational institutions. Virtual laboratories, while lacking some of the benefits of real ones,offer advantages of their own. These include, among others, low cost and ready availability.Such a laboratory, called SoftLab, is described here as

These wind tunnels can either be very basic, like some of theoriginal test cells, or more complicated to isolate and teach different concepts. The design andfunction a particular wind tunnel are not necessarily important if the limitations are understoodand explained to the student. These classes and experiments are typically during the junior yearof an undergraduate engineering curriculum. As engineering students progress into practicing engineers, they must know more than theoryand equations describing physical laws. Engineers are also required to design new

Designettes in Capstone: Impact of Early Design Experiences in Capstone Education with Emphasis on Depth of Design Process ContentThere was one notable drop in overall agreement for this iteration—“Helped me become familiarwith my team’s full/sponsored project” (0.5 delta). This may be the result of a reduced amountof team work time that could be spent exploring year-long project knowledge outside of thedesignette project. Again, observations can be related back to the research hypotheses of that theincrease in design content would result in disadvantages of (e) reduced team forming due to lessproject work time, (f) reduced motivation/enthusiasm for the designette, (g) reduced familiaritywith the laboratory and prototyping techniques, and (h) more

Providing lectures,quizzes, exams, and homework to long distance students is a well established process at many, ifnot most, academic institutions including Michigan Tech where these processes have been inplace for decades.
