This co-teachingmodel can be realized by pairing faculty with graduate students with the purpose of encouraging studentsto speak freely in

results of the surveysuggest that incorporation of the pre-laboratory activities enhances student learning; however, itseffect on student motivation and interest in research is less conclusive.IntroductionThere has been a focused effort to incorporate inquiry-based learning (IBL) strategies intoscience and engineering education. These approaches are based on the constructivist theory oflearning and involve active, self-directed learning to facilitate the formulation of a solution to aquestion or problem1. By incorporating IBL into the classroom, the course instruction shiftsfrom a traditional lecture-based format where students are passive learners to one where studentsare actively involved in the pursuit of knowledge. This active engagement has
University develop their skills for thevarious elements of the design process throughout the curriculum, culminating in their seniordesign project I and II courses during their senior year.The program offers at least six core courses in which engineering design is included. Thesecourses are: Engineering Graphics, CAD/CAM, Manufacturing Automation, Simulation, QualityControl, and Manufacturing Design Implementation. These six major courses and some othercourses distributed throughout the curriculum include elements of design that adequately definean integrated design experience for the students in the program. During their senior year,students also may gain additional design experience in their chosen ENGR/MANE electivecourses such as Special Topics

decision making process that applies the basicprinciples of the sciences, mathematics and engineering to solve a problem. A gooddesign solution requires engineers to approach the problem with a systems perspective. Itrequires them to recognize how the design will operate in relationship to the worldaround it. Moreover, being proficient at design requires creativity and judgment as wellas a mastery of technical fundamentals2-5.Design is a methodology that blends science with engineering6. It involves inquiry andinnovation but it is also constrained by practical factors such as time-to-market and cost-effectiveness. Engineering students must learn to recognize the similarities anddifferences between the scientific and design methods. The goal of the

Finally, as the robot’s nature is stochastic, theinaccurate data flow to the range of sensors and the actuators may result in the collision of therobot with the obstacle.For the identification of the test cases, both the specification based approach and the code basedapproach have been followed. For the specification based testing the functionalities of the RobotControl System have been considered. This specification based testing fundamentally refer to theblack box testing.On the other hand the internal coding scheme has been tested. This is followed by the code basedapproach.

These readings were augmented with adiscussion of the relationship between the business concepts presented in the book and softwaredevelopment processes and the application of these concepts to software-relatedentrepreneurship. Additionally, the content was occasionally augmented with discussions ofhow the concepts would apply differently to an intrepreneurship (new venture within an existingbusiness or entity) than to a startup company.Discussion board posts, quizzes and worksheets were used to assess student understanding of thematerial that was presented and its application

Materials CourseAbstractOnline education has expanded quickly in recent years and offering an engineering curriculumonline has been limited by the ability to replicate lab experiments that are integral to somecourses. Some approaches to lab experiments in distance education or online courses have beenattempted including recording video of lab experiments or creating simulations of laboratoryexperiments that run virtually via the internet. This paper outlines the development of a set ofinexpensive, transportable lab experiments for students in a Mechanics of Materials courseoffered via distance education.

Our architecture incorporates asimple instruction set serially executed in a 5-stage cycle (fetch, decode, execute, memory, writeback). The design utilizes SRAM memory to store instructions and pushbuttons, switches,LEDs, and 7-segment displays provide feedback and user input. Specifically, we use the AlteraCyclone II to instantiate our system running on the Altera DE2 development and educationboard. We also leverage the associated CAD tools to build this system.

However, it canbe challenging to fit many laboratory-specific courses into an engineering curriculum at aliberal-arts focused institution; leading faculty to adopt a mixture of in-class, virtual, take-home,or homework-style lab experiences [3]. One area where these experiences can be particularlyuseful is in control systems education, as students may struggle to bridge
