The objective is to equip students with practical knowledge in utilizingand applying modern engineering tools and techniques necessary for engineering practicethrough hands-on laboratory experiments. To achieve this objective, students are required toundertake a research project where they read a technical paper and replicate a portion of the workusing the tools they have learned in the course.There is existing literature that explores the incorporation of published primary/technical papersinto undergraduate education across various disciplines [2]~[6], and all have shown positiveimpacts on student

Heargues that the old industrial society was based on raw material and the use of practicalknowledge as the mode of production.8 The post-industrial society on the other hand is based ontheoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge gives managers, professionals and technicalworkers the tool to make better decisions in a complex environment. In both theories the key is ahighly educated society and the role specific types of knowledge play. Herein lies

IntroductionA robotics course at the introductory level of engineering education involves students inhands-on practice through which they can learn many engineering subjects and applications.The robotics course can be especially effective if it meets two goals:1. Practical-technical -- designing and producing a working robot prototype capable of performing the given assignment through a project-team effort.2. Instructional -- providing systematic learning of science and engineering subjects by all the students in the robotics course.An experiential learning approach which organizes learning-by-doing processes so that thelearner can acquire both

.• Firms have expanded the services they provide, and rely more on these expanded services.• The success of a firm is not solely based on technical skills. Firms are better strategic planners and managers attempting to improve their current and future positions. Architectural and engineering design is an enterprise aimed at the future, but how caneducators prepare students if they do not understand present practice? Faculty cannot afford toprepare students for an industry that no longer exists. This can be avoided by blending hands-onprofessional experience with our academic advancements. Furthermore, studies have shown thatwork experience positively affects faculty attitudes toward teaching and research. Since effortsto

Interesting and fun are the hallmark of what games are all about. The challenge is toincorporate the material into the game and maintain the aspects of interesting and fun. Thechallenge is even more so when dealing with STEM topics that typically require long periods ofintense study to master. A game that can hold interest and still convey the required knowledge isthe goal of game-based learning.The shift from a traditional lecture-based class to blended (some of the time in class lecture andsome problem solving) or fully
has been used in engineering schools for a longtime, the high dropout rate shows that this way of teaching needs to be changed. One of the constantcomplaints of the engineering students is that they cannot make a connection between puretheoretical materials presented in class and real world projects. Many students who have someexperiences in the industry claim that most of the contents of even elective and so called practicalcourses have no application in their jobs. The primary goal of the Learning by Practice initiative,funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is to increase the engagement of mechanicalengineering students in the learning process and to prepare them for the workforce through thedevelopment and implementation of a

Manufacturing EducationAbstractManufacturing makes tremendous contributions to the economy as it increases gross domesticproduct and exports, creates high-paying jobs, generates meaningful return on investment, andsupports many other sectors. The future of manufacturing depends on preparing youngergenerations for innovation and skill-intensive jobs through Science, Technology, Engineering, andMath (STEM) programs. However, there is a dearth of manufacturing presence in the currentcurricular content as most STEM high school and community college educators do not havetraining in manufacturing concepts and likely have not worked in the modern manufacturingindustry. An effective way of bringing manufacturing to the curriculum is to include simulationand

In addition, there are educationalmodules on communication technologies designed specifically to support middle and high schoolteachers in their classrooms [32-34]. These often include hands-on activities or access to liveexperiments. Our work is similar but leverages Zoom features to support these experiences in abasic remote setting, focusing on communications concepts that particularly benefit from theremote aspect and from the Zoom features.Content OverviewTo introduce high school students to the basics of communications and networking, we created aset of lessons centered around these topics.
