Teaching. The project not only succeeded in adapting to theconstraints of remote learning but also demonstrated a forward-thinking approach to embeddingpractical, real-world skills in the curriculum, serving as a model for future education strategies inembedded systems and other hands-on disciplines.1. INTRODUCTIONThe COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 fundamentally disrupted educational systems worldwide,forcing a sudden shift from in-person to remote learning. For engineering disciplines likeembedded systems, which rely heavily on hands-on laboratory work and real-time hardware-software integration, this transition posed unique and significant challenges. The inability to accessphysical tools and collaborative environments risked undermining the

Emphasis is on CAD-based details, assemblies, design layouts, equipment installations, and related industrial practices.The courses often support Project Lead the Way curriculum currently offered at these highschools. These courses are first-year requirements for many degrees and can be applied todegree requirements in the same manner as any other course on the students’ transcript.

Research Questions The purpose of this single case study is to explain how university affiliates explain theprocess of collaboration after the end of the second year of a partnership between a university,local industry partners, and educators in Southwest, Appalachian Virginia. The goals of thispartnership are to deliver hands-on engineering activities to rural middle school students throughintegrating engineering into the existing curriculum and standards of learning. Using a theory ofmultidimensional collaboration from Thomson and Perry [13], this study seeks to understandmore about the structures of collaboration, the role of each partner, the benefits of collaboration,and the overall goals and reflections about the partnership.

The features, cost, and small size makes Arduino apotent tool teaching as well as practical device use in engineering projects.

acornerstone design course for freshman engineering students. The motivation for thiswork is derived from posing the following questions. Do our education and curriculum-based classroom teaching / learning cause us to think in a certain conventional way? Why is engineering design typically done with a set of predefined specifications (tight grip on problem specifications) operating within a restricted framework (impose fictitious constraints) with an end-use in mind? Does this way of thinking restrict our imagination and tie us down within the design space, leading to routine engineering products? How can we overcome the barriers of design fixation and premature judgment during the conceptual

Our first activity for enhancing nanoscience andnanoengineering education was to introduce simple concepts of nanoscience and technology intoexisting required undergraduate engineering courses. These modules covered the core conceptsof nanomaterials and unique phenomena at the nanoscale. Introducing the concepts ofnanoscience and engineering at this early stage of undergraduate education was found topositively impact student interest in registering for a technical elective nanotechnology coursethat we developed as our second initiative.

of the Greater Antelope Valley and adjacent regionshas evolved, out of the regional desire to train engineers locally, without a thoroughunderstanding of customer needs. A realistic model for higher education suggested by Maguadhas been adopted that views employers as the customer and students as the higher educationproduct. Understanding who the customers are is the crucial first step, according to Drucker, inunderstanding customer needs. Guided by Dewey’s and Tyler’s works on curriculum development, an exploratory mixed-methods study was initiated to identify customer needs. This was a sequential-explanatory study.The initial phase was quantitative and defined critical cases that informed the qualitative phase.The qualitative phase had
that provide a significant design experience. While most engineering programs around theworld introduce design at distinct points in a curriculum, such as freshman and capstone design courses,we present the concept of a “4-D” design pedagogy, where design is integrated across courses, semesters,years, and extra-curricular activities. This pedagogy, or framework, may be implemented in whole or inpart in any engineering program.Building on this design pedagogy, we present the context of designiettes in terms of educational theories,the I-Engineering, and assessment. We then explore the strategic development and use of designiettes,and present a literature review on small scale design project efforts as they relate to the concept ofdesigniettes

: cultivating student motivation in the interdisciplinary and international contextAbstractThe National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Graduate Education and ResearchTraineeship (IGERT) Program: Global Traineeship in Sustainable Electronics” brought togetheran interdisciplinary group of students to study the environmental, economic, and societal aspectsof the global electronics lifecycle. There were three cohorts altogether, but the dynamics of eachgroup were substantially different. This third cohort actively sought additional experiencesoutside the original planned courses and trips. The aim of this work is to glean insight into whatand how specific curriculum design may promote the learning experiences in which students takeinitiative beyond
uncertain and perhaps even unwilling toembrace sustainability (at least, the environmental pillar) as a valid and valuable part of theirengineering curriculum. Combined with the relatively weak power of ethics (includingsustainability) over personal and business interests,8 students may see sustainability as a noblebut vague and entirely unreachable state of affairs.Previous research studies in engineering education have highlighted the fact that students oftenbring into the classroom views of sustainability that reflect both the broad and confusingdefinitions of sustainability in national and global circles and a narrow view of what engineersare capable of impacting and desiring to contribute to improved sustainability practices
