traditional classroom settingwith classes held everyday at sea, it is the various ports of call that provide the “laboratories”(field component) from which approximately 20% of the credit earned for a course is fulfilled.The integration of classroom and international fieldwork enables Semester at Sea to provide alearning environment unattainable on a traditional land campus. The challenge to engineeringeducation is to find a way to make this laboratory experience valuable and relevant to thecoursework.The authors responded to this challenge by organizing a program directed at engineering andbusiness students interested in manufacturing and operations management issues. From anengineering perspective, the idea would be to adapt “land-based” ABET
effects that occur during research. An important step in making anobservation is the immediate recording of the observation in a notebook. Thehypothesis is a formal expression of a preconceived relationship that the studentuses to guide his or her research. The experimentation phase is the systematiccontrolled testing of the hypothesis which can be performed in the laboratory,using computer simulation, field experiment, field study, or survey research. Inconducting the experiment, it is important to record every detail. Here again,keeping good records of work completed, decisions made, errors and correctionsduring experimentation is a key activity to successful research. The last step,induction, is the process of interpreting the data obtained

The course credit hourswere increased to 4 semester credit hours to allow for developing a laboratory component for thecourse.The use of lab assignments in the transportation course allowed students to get hands-onexperience and training in conducting transportation studies utilizing the latest standardsemployed in the industry. The lab also enabled the instructor to use open-ended problems suchthat members of each team can search for feasible solutions that meet specific guidelines.Different teams may end up with different analysis results or design solutions. Feedback fromstudents indicated their appreciation for integrating the lab assignments into the course.This paper describes the

workshop cost was $50,056. Major expensesfor the workshop included salaries for participating faculty and student mentors, stipends forparticipants, travel, supplies, information dissemination and food. While the main goal of theworkshop was to establish a program for middle school outreach, there were a number ofimportant objectives.The overall objectives of the AWE workshop were to:1. Recruit talented, economically disadvantaged preferably minority female students for a two week summer workshop at Rowan University,2. Expose selected students to laboratory and field experiences directly related to the practice and profession of engineering,3. Provide direction, motivation, support and encouragement for students to pursue carriers in science
Planning Center worktogether to make certain that the experience is technically and developmentallyappropriate for students. Internships provide students with valuable real worldexperience. When well organized, internships are an enhancement to the academicexperience. The Rowan internships have served to show students the importance ofclasses and laboratories in engineering practice. In addition, they have served to developand educate students in many areas related to industrial practice that are not available inan academic setting. Student interns work in companies as professionals and gainpractical experience. Students learn by doing and from the mentoring by experiencedengineers, which is part of the internship experience.

Although at thetime of its publication the laboratory was not yet implemented, its content shows hands-onexercises for the laboratory. Jones describes the design of a hardware kit and laboratoryexercises to offer students hands-on experiences with embedded systems as well as IoT [6].Remote learning was not targeted in this application. In their 2021 survey paper on IoT ineducation, Ronoh et al. recommend that IoT courses should have practical skills as one of thelearning outcomes, which can be successfully achieved via problem-based learning (PBL) [7].The authors’ findings support that IoT is conducive to cooperative learning, and can

The loop is closed by requiring each team to test their prototype based ondesign requirements developed earlier in the design process.In the summer of 2006, the College of Engineering and the College of Business Administrationoffered their first course in a new Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program. Aunique aspect of this program is the MEM 625/626 course sequence. In this pair of courses,MEM graduate students become project managers for the senior design teams in theundergraduate, multidisciplinary senior design course described above. This has had numerousbenefits for both programs. Undergraduates are now given an experience

The students wereguided through a complete industrial style IC design flow, including architecture, design andlayout reviews. The unique challenge of this approach for the instructor is to guide the studentsto design their individual blocks while insuring that the overall system requirements are met. Forthe students, the advantages of this approach include the experience of working together as ateam, the ability to work on larger designs than a single student could do alone, and theunderstanding gained of several different circuit blocks.

Students gain the necessary skills to design and implement projects in the digitalsystems. This course also allows students to have hands-on experience with variouscombinational circuits, as well as sequential circuits.

This primarily relegates the power systems security research to the domain ofsimulation experiments. One example of such simulation platforms is the Grid Game [11], aninteractive simulation platform developed at Idaho National Laboratory that is played between twoplayers in which the ‘grid operator’ attempts to maintain a constant grid frequency by takingdefensive actions in the events of attacks launched by ‘cyberattackers’.
