Materials Processing,” wherein teams of two to fourChemical and Mechanical Engineering students work together on a product design related termproject to produce a material, e.g. recycled glass ceramic floor tile, and to characterize and testthe product properties and performance. In this context, students clearly must apply theirinterdisciplinary background to achieve deliberately interdisciplinary results in the short fifteento sixteen week semester. While the ChemE students typically do not have the background toconduct mechanical testing, the MechE’s usually are unfamiliar with reaction processes, forexample. The division of work is clear in most cases and the challenges apparent as studentsattempt to produce a product, define its

Angle conversion of the IP isperformed using a low cost rotary encoder and the analog to digital convertor of the ArduinoUno. Additionally, a digital Proportional Integral Derivative control algorithm is presented thataddresses the issues of sample time, derivative kick, on-the-fly tuning and reset windup. Thecode is documented to explain these phenomenon and to enable tuning using standard practicessuch as Ziegler-Nichols tuning. Through the use of 3D printing technology and open-sourceelectronics and computer code, the material cost of the system was kept under $100 per unit,making this an ideal

According to Lifecycle (2019), "Engineering Education Now: The Widening Skills Gap" article,job openings in tech and manufacturing continues to grow well into the double-digits, however, 39%of companies feel that graduates are inadequately trained. This is manifested in a widening skills gap.This skills gap is exacerbated not only by the evolving engineering skillset needed for technologicalproduct development, but also by the rate of retiring

Current based systems are often used in industrialautomation because they are not affected by signal deviations caused by resistance in long cableruns. Choosing the right signal can be frustrating and usually depends on what signals thecontrol hardware and transducers support.

Students will learn thematerials to master how to solve a problem facing them in their service. Phase 2: On-site: Students are introduced to their community partners or mentors and starttheir service learning project for about two month period.

For example, there is the attitude that educational knowledge and practice from K-12 andadult education can not be directly applicable to higher education.The visiting scholar model also relies on the assumption that most of the local audience has thesame learning needs and desires and roughly the same availability. That is, since a workshop isscheduled for a given time with a defined agenda, it is necessary that the local audience beavailable to participate. If one misses the workshop, one might have a summary or materials torely upon, or a video tape to review, but seldom would one have the chance to engage thespeaker or other participants at another time.

approach, teaching renewable energy comes with several challenges, which could be grouped as follows: a. Educational challenges: Integrating renewable energy topics into existing curricula or developing brand-new courses or even whole new curricula is time and effort intensive. Universities might not have enough personnel, or not have the right personnel. Educators might need specialized training to effectively teach renewable energy concepts. b. Technical Challenges: The field of renewable energy is evolving quickly, making it challenging for educational materials to stay current. Providing students with practical, up-to-date hands-on experience can be difficult due to the high cost and complexity of renewable energy equipment

Thus, our newtroubleshooting tool allows us to capture rich data for large number of students quickly andeffectively (and now remotely).Using our new tool, we were able to better understand how students approach troubleshootingcircuits.
