The above-discussed laboratory is an attempt to give studentshands-on experience with fundamental properties and concepts.The Thermodynamics laboratory has been offered for the first time in fall, 2005. Theintroduction of the lab took up class time and consequently, the designated syllabus couldnot be entirely covered. This situation was alleviated by a team-based approach to the lab.Teams (a group of 3-4 students) perform the necessary measurements together and preparea group report. Team members helped one another in understanding the materials andlearning the

For example, new courses can becreated without any approvals from outside the home department.Decentralization means that there are few barriers to starting a new project, but little assistanceprovided to support the new effort, or to help a project through temporary difficulties. Funding isalso quite decentralized: In the Engineering School, departments receive a block budget basedprimarily on the level of research contracts and credit hours taught.Due to the selective excellence philosophy, Hopkins has achieved leadership in the fields ofmedicine and public health, but does not have a business school, law school, or education school.(It

Hands-on Laboratory AssignmentsThe lab assignments provide an opportunity to directly interact with the technology, as well as anopportunity to design, implement, and experiment with the various concepts that they embrace.This approach to teaching creates an active learning environment in which students can explore asignificant design area, make hypotheses about how things work, and conduct experiments tovalidate their assumptions.9,12,13,16 Seymour Papert termed this style of learning “construction-ism”.16 For this course, the overall philosophy of the lab assignments is to

instructors of IMSE 564 have had more than four years of industrial experience. From theirpersonal experiences, the learner-centered approach in engineering education is an efficient wayto facilitate learning and simulate motivations for engineering students. In order to establish suchan environment, they have explored the following five areas: (1) Select suitable topic; (2) Encourage group activities of the students with the facilitations of the instructors; (3) Use multi-media technologies in teaching; (4) Involve industrial professionals in teaching; (5) Make the course project-based.2.1 Topic selection in engineering educationProceedings of the 2005 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering

One challenge is ensuring that students learn andretain the unique technical and professional skills and abilities needed for the microelectronicsworkforce, which can be lost if not properly taught and reinforced [5]. The other challenge issetting students up for success as lifelong learners by instilling a sense of professionaldevelopment in the students who already have a full curriculum [6].

By taking a more project-based approach towards math courses early on, students will know that the mathematics theylearn can and will be useful in a variety of STEM-related fields.4. Other Applications for Mathematics in Engineering and ScienceThe information learned in a STEM education curriculum, such as determining the volume of acurve, can be used in a variety of applications. Some examples of STEM applications include thevolume determination of a flask or for a medical IV bottle used in a hospital.

This focus has left a void in the ability to relate engineeringprinciples to real-world devices and applications. In this paper, we introduce a new approach forfilling this void in a mechanical engineering curriculum. In particular, we describe modificationsand extensions to machine design courses to include hands-on exercises. Through theapplication of “mechanical breadboards,” clear relationships between machine design principlesand the reality of machine components are established. These relationships reduce the number oftopics covered in the courses, but greatly increase the interest of the
