In particular, electrical engineering students in feedback control courses at UCLApreviously had limited access to hands-on control platforms. Thus, it became a major researchimperative to extend the concept of low-cost, take-home devices to controls courses. In thispaper, we present the culmination of these efforts: the Science and Engineering Active Learning(SEAL) System, a highly versatile, portable inverted pendulum control platform that issufficiently inexpensive to provide it to individual students or very small groups of students. Thebill of materials for the system is roughly $100, and it
students shouldlearn about professional ethics, and then ideas for how to teach ethics. Finally, we had a plenaryspeaker who connected teaching professional ethics to experiences in the workplace. In additionto the plenary speaker, we brought in two additional guests who focus on science andengineering ethics to help facilitate these conversations. A report of that one-day workshop canbe found here www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/research/engineering-education-research-center/events/. We followed up with faculty later in the winter of 2023 with sessions on teachingethics, and then in April and May of 2023, we held two one-hour sessions on faculty ethics. Thefirst session on faculty ethics focused on literature and guidelines, and the second on a

The requirements of theimpromptu design contest were that the water tower would be loaded with water and transportedby two members of each team a distance equal to about 10 feet. The team carrying the mostwater over the distance in the shortest time was declared the winner. Only one team successfullytransported a significant amount of water, but all the scouts learned the importance of design andteamwork.A mechanical engineering faculty member talked to the scouts about possible constraints inengineering design. The girls saw first hand the constraint of time and available materials wheneach group of girls was given a set of materials and told to design a turbomachine.

As a result ofintroducing the CD based tool in materials handling classes, we believe students will have an in-depthunderstanding of the basic principles of materials handling, types and applications of the two majorcategories of materials handling equipment as well as hands-on experience in designing and analyzingmaterials handling systems for specific scenarios. In addition, practicing materials handling engineers,who are relatively new to the field are likely to be major users of the products.

That pathway involves acommitment by both university and industry partners to engagement in a reciprocalrelationship with classroom teachers. Anna stated, We need more people to come in and help us. [Company A] is supposed to be a partner with our school, but I’ve never seen one of their employees come into our school and volunteer in our science classrooms.

The project is divided into seven phases. Thebackground required to complete each phase is based on the material covered up to that point inthe course.

Competence refers to ones’ knowledge and understanding ofscience material; performance refers to their ability to do or demonstrate their scientificknowledge; recognition is being seen by other individuals of high stature as a “science person”and therefore seeing one’s self as a science person; and interest is one’s desire and curiosity forthe sciences [6], [8].
