@brunel.ac.uk Marco.B.Quadrelli@jpl.nasa.govAbstract: This paper addresses opportunities for linking research and teaching through service-learning as an experiential teaching method that combines community service with research andacademic instructions, particularly related to Mechatronics and Dynamic Systems areas. Theresearch component is complementary to the service-learning activity that applies the state-of-the-art technologies, and can potentially lead to scientific original work and world-class contributionsin technological advancements. Various advanced technologies related to mechatronic systemshave been developed by the authors and the students involved in such projects as part of theirUniversity

In addition, 38 middle school boys from 10 schools were provided with instruction orprogramming in five areas during the Summer of 2015: 1) Solid Modeling, 2) MobileApplication Development, 3) Mathematics, 4) Entrepreneurship and 5) Minority Mentorship androle models. Instruction was provided by college faculty at Morgan State University. Participantswere introduced to designing 3-D models and developing software applications for Androiddevices using age appropriate computer aided design software that is freely available (Tinkercadand MIT App Inventor

designed to makeparticipants think deeply about their answers. This reflexive discussion enabled our team to drawout rich, nuanced descriptions of students’ ethical decision-making as it emerged throughout thecourse of the design process.Participants and ContextParticipants for this study are students enrolled in EPICS, a multi-disciplinary service-learningdesign program at Purdue University. In EPICS, students of multiple majors are taught a modelof human-centered design, in which they develop projects to meet the needs of specificcommunity members, and are instructed to engage these partners at each stage of the designprocess. For example, a team of engineering and entrepreneurship students may partner with acommunity member with a disability in
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). For the most part, these have not been presentin the education of engineers. As a result, the majority of engineering professors are ill-equippedto engage in discussions of these matters with their students.To address this reality, engineering education must begin to embrace and introduce students tosome of the tenets and course content of the arts, humanities, and social sciences. There areuniversities today that are conducting what is known as a Grand Challenge Scholars Program inwhich students are prepared to achieve competencies in entrepreneurship, systems thinking,ethics, the understanding of different cultures, and the recognition that their engineeringsolutions must serve the purpose of contributing
client. Students also learn how tomanage a real world project with deadlines. This paper describes our approach in having studentscome together to enhance their digital media skills by contributing in the development of acommunity-based animation festival. This paper also addresses how students learned to plan andmanage a festival event while working with a community-based organization.IntroductionIn the fall of 2004 we wrote a collaborative grant submitted to the University of Kentucky for aprogram entitled “Appalachian Ideas Network”. This grant was established with funding fromthe Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) to enable universities in the Appalachian regionto develop programs in social entrepreneurship.

Besides teaching both undergraduate and graduate design and education related classes at Stanford University, she conducts research on engineering education and work-practices, and applied
training in aguided fashion early in the curriculum. In order to effectively teach these important professional, technical, and life-long skills, wedeveloped a new sophomore-level lecture/laboratory course, BME 201, “BiomedicalEngineering Fundamentals and Design.” We offered it for the first time in Spring 2012, and ithas been taught twice so far. The weekly lecture focuses directly on professional skills, andintroduces students to the department’s five areas of study (bioinstrumentation, biomedicalimaging, biomechanics, biomaterials/cellular/tissue engineering, and healthcare systems) throughlectures by faculty in those areas. These lectures were recorded during the first offering so thatthe videos can be viewed outside of class, and the
search and literature search to determine the patentability of their ideas. Each student team determines one patentable idea and drafts a provisional patent application, including title, abstract, drawings, background, description, and claims. The instructor reviews the drafts and gives feedback for making improvements.AssessmentThe effectiveness of the three lectures will be assessed by after-class surveys. In total, 30 surveyquestions are designed to cover essential topics related to provisional patent application, patentinventorship, patent ownership, public disclosure, and patentability.Example survey questions are given below: • Question No. 2): A provisional patent application won’t be examined until a full patent
successfully complete the project, students need to think critically and creatively about howtheir programming skills can create value, not just in a functional game, but one thatcommunicates and educates effectively on a unique issue. Ultimately, this is an engineeringproject, not just a programming task [1].As part of the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network [citation to Engineering Unleashed],Marquette is committed to “Entrepreneurial Mindset” as part of their student mindset.Entrepreneurially Minded Learning is utilized throughout the curriculum. EntrepreneuriallyMinded Learning is not focused specifically on entrepreneurship, but instead on developingmindsets focused on Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value [2].Literature BackgroundEML

In some cases this even extendsto attending during evenings and on weekends. Business travel, work crises, and familyobligations make attendance at regularly scheduled classes very difficult. Given the aboveconsiderations, a flexible and portable graduate program that students can take while theycontinue working is a highly desirable option.Based on the issues highlighted above, the program’s guiding principles can be summarized as: Page 7.235.1 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for

Page 26.634.3Summary of Engineering Leadership Programs ReviewedInitially a list of over 40 engineering leadership programs was compiled, which was reduced downto the final eleven programs that were included in the review, as summarized in Table 1. The threemain criteria for reduction and the associated rational are described in the following paragraphs.Firstly, only programs whose main focus was leadership were analyzed. Some programs in theinitial list were focused in other areas, such as project management or entrepreneurship, with amodule on leadership. Secondly, the programs had to be based out of the engineering faculty orspecific to engineering students. There are many leadership development programs available thatare general to the

2016survey revealed that 40% of parents did not see manufacturing as a well-paying employmentchoice for their children; 50% did not see manufacturing as an exciting, challenging or engagingprofession [1]. Even more troubling is the underrepresentation of women and minorities ismanufacturing. This underrepresentation is even more dramatic in rural communities wheredemographics do not explain the disparity [2, 3]. If parents’ and counselors’ perceptions areflawed about the opportunities in US manufacturing, it is little wonder that students are notexploring the classes needed to excel in industry or the training to do important work as soon asthey graduate.
