Each of the participants was given 30 minutes to build their towers and wereencouraged to complete the module as if they were a student. Prior to load testing the towers,students would be asked to calculate the perimeter of the base and viewing platform along withthe surface area of the sides. Those calculations were not completed by the participants due totime constraints, but each tower was load tested using various materials available to theparticipants.

We further recognize and compare two groups: opt-out scholars andretained scholars in terms of their academic profiles such as level of engagement, collaboration,research areas, affiliations, and funding status. Our findings show the decreasing retention ratefrom 2000 to 2011 and an average of 5.23 years for which new scholars stayed active in the EERcommunity. During their early career in EER, scholars who decided to quickly opt out tended tocommit less effort and had fewer original contributions to their research studies in EER. Also,they worked on broader and fundamental topics and received less EER-related financial supportthan their peers in

While the goal is toimpart specific skillsets through the three modules, the breadth and depth of the modules varied. Whileapplied research methods and statistics cover a broader array of topics, data mining is narrower in itsfocus. Figure 2 illustrates the schematic. This set-up allows students to ease into the course andsystematically develop skills which are reinforced by the subsequent module. For example, the data theyanalyze through the case study assignment using statistical analysis is later explored using data miningsoftware.

Instructors or studentgroups work example problems in class as time permits.

The lab modules provided students with practical experience in using IoT technologiessuch as MQTT, ThingSpeak, and Simulink to design and control mechatronic systems. Themodules covered a range of topics, including motor control, feedback control, and systemmodeling and simulation. The course provided students with a strong foundation in thetheoretical concepts of mechatronics, which were then reinforced through the hands-on labmodules. The success of the course is reflected in the positive feedback from students, whoappreciated the practical skills gained through the lab modules.

Typically, the objectives are to design a device or process that has value toindustry. The project begins by defining a performance problem associated with applications andends with a prototype for a green design solution. The problem drives the learning required tocomplete the project. Managing the project requires the students to demonstrate effectiveteamwork, clear communication and the ability to balance the social, economic andenvironmental impacts of the project. The

We believe there is room for improvement in the course collaboration at MTU toincrease its impact on the learning experience of the TSP students. The skewedmanager-to-developer ratio (addressed in detail in the discussion of research question 3 below)might also be negatively affecting the experience of the TSP students.Another factor that might be affecting the impact of the collaboration on the TSP students’learning experience is institution size.
