national urgency of better preparing our engineering graduates for globalpractice [6][7][8][2][9], it is surprising how little progress has towards this goal has been madeon a broad national level. Some institutions have introduced initiatives to incorporate basicexposure to global perspectives into a broad range of undergraduate programs, usually throughsome combination of on-campus international activities, special courses, or augmentation ofregular course materials to incorporate global themes. At Northern Arizona University, forexample, our campus-wide Global Learning Initiative [10] engages faculty from all disciplines toensure that all students have multiple, substantive encounters with global perspectives throughspecial curricular elements
National Reading Diagnostic Institute in the United Statesand who popularized her research on accelerated learning in How to Learn Anything Quickly.Basically, Linksman claims that students learn best when new material is presented in ways thatappeal to their favorite learning style (visual, auditory, tactile, or kinesthetic) and brainhemispheric preference (i.e., right-brain, left-brain, mixed, or integrated preference). Thecombination of learning style and hemispheric preference favored by an individual is known asthat person’s “super link,” according to Linksman, and appealing to someone’s super link is thefastest way for that person to learn.In the previous study of MATH 131, the authors deduced that the majority of the students wouldbe right

On the other hand, UDP does not guarantee packets delivery and congestioncontrol unlike TCP, hence the data transfer using UDP can be fast without significant time delay andvariations10. It was found that the Wi-Fi Shield can provide a network (IP) stack capable of both TCP andUDP (user datagram protocol) 15. This means that UDP could be accessible with the Wi-Fi shield whichwould make the data transmission faster. This way allowed the communication to be changed into asimple, fast connection protocol for the server/client connection. All the codes for the server/client on theArduino 1 was removed, and they were moved into the UDP receiver code in the laptop

Fundamentals of solarpanel lectures provided details on sunlight conversion into electricity and the factors affectingefficiency with opportunities to experiment with lighting conditions, angle and such as angle,lighting conditions, and material composition. Wind energy instruction covered wind turbinedesign and optimization, introducing key concepts like blade pitch, material selection, airfoildesign, and turbine efficiency.Integrative Hands-on LabsStudents engaged in active learning and design thinking through interactive labs requiring real-world problem

Class surveys were collected to guide futuredevelopment. Based on the results, more courses will be revised to accommodate HPC contentsin the coming years. A project-based learning scheme will also be introduced to our new coursedesign and implementation including subjects like Computer Vision and Machine Learning.

Over the last 12 years, the course has grown and now is required or stronglyrecommended for fourth-year (senior) students in four majors: Mechanical Engineering, MaterialSciences & Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Systems Engineering. EML is taught during the fall semester of each academic year in small sections to fosterstudent engagement. The course provides meaningful exposure to real-world challenges thatengineers face – from ethical scenarios and project management situations to multidisciplinaryteaming. In alignment with ABET, this course is designed to allow students to "learn beyond thetheory in a

Each school recruited 11th grade students to participate, who were then randomlyassigned to treatment (n = 59) or control conditions (n = 32). Students in the study werepredominantly from School 1 (45%) and School 2 (39%), with School 3 having the smallestsample (16%). Students in this study were predominately White (64%), with 18% being Black orAfrican American, 8% Asian, 1% American Indian or Alaskan Native, with one student selectingNative Hawaiin or Pacific Islander, and 8% choosing to self-identify.

This project provides valuable hands-onexperience in control loop tuning and produces reasonably accurate results. The papershows the design schematic and presents results.IntroductionPID control allows a system to accurately adjust for load or setpoint changes.Implementing a PID controller, however, requires that it be ‘tuned” or adjusted for thesystem for which it is installed [1, 2]. This tuning process requires the user to understandthe type of algorithm utilized by the controller.The Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) curriculum at Texas A&M-CorpusChristi
current are used to convey behavioral aspects of circuit operation. The result is aninteractive computer program—CktViz—intended to lower the cognitive barrier tocomprehension of circuit operation by graphically representing voltage and currentrelationships. A small scale educational assessment has been performed using students taking anintroductory circuits course as subjects. The results show that CktViz has a positive andsignificant effect on students' qualitative understanding of circuit behavior.1. Motivation A major challenge in teaching circuit theory is that many of the students have no intuitiveunderstanding of the behavior of electrical circuits. While they have actual, hands-on experiencewith, for example, the mechanical properties
alone.Point 2: Master’s topicA nice feature in many engineering curriculums is a general engineering course where studentscan experience different engineering fields in their first year of study. Many students think theylike the idea of engineering, but don’t really know what an engineer does or what the differentdisciplines are. Many can identify Computer and Mechanical engineering don’t know aboutchemical, aerospace, industrial or Product Design and Manufacturing engineering. After thesecond year of study, students must commit to an area of engineering they prefer. Even afterthis, students change their mind as they learn more about each program.In the 3rd or 4th year, as graduation gets closer, is a student ready to select an area to master?What is

Theoreticalcontributions may be made as part of the experimental research, but the primary focus is onexposing the students to a positive experience and allowing them to apply new knowledge, whilepreparing them for their future. Another program focuses on having students be involved infunded research projects [3]. In this latter case, students work on unanswered questions that arecrucial elements of research investigations currently underway [3]. In several programs, it iscommon for the URP student to have a peer advisor. In some instances, the undergraduate maybe assisting a graduate student on research and the graduate student acts as the advisor [6].The publish materials on assessment and evaluation of URP experiences primarily focus on the

The firstday of class includes an introduction to the course syllabus – a detailed schedule of course topics,relevant textbook sections, and homework and exam dates – and expected prerequisitebackground per the Course Catalog. To maximize course retention, students are advised toreview topics before class. However, the only incentive is self-motivation. In the past, the authorhas witnessed only a few diligent students who carefully review material prior to class meetings.The newly-created lecture videos are intended to help prepare students before class. The authoris currently creating an online quiz for each video – administered through Cal Poly’s PolyLearn(Moodle) online system – to test for student comprehension and

Currently, the two-semester sequence focuses on the technical side ofproduct development. To augment the student’s education, each E4 student team will also haveone student member from the Mays Business School who will also have the opportunity toparticipate as an inventor. The engineering students are in charge of the technical aspects of theproduct development, and the business students will prepare preliminary business plans, performmarketing assessments, and create marketing materials for the new company.

approaches that have been practiced for 50 years are continued [1, 2]. It isnecessary to find an alternative teaching strategy in engineering courses, particularly forconveying scientific principles to real situations. To assess innovative methods for solving theproblems and limitations of the traditional teaching model in chemical engineering andbiomedical engineering, a half interactive hands-on learning experiment, half lecture-teachingmodel is being explored. In this process, having the aim of a better understanding and absorptionof key principles and difficult concepts in fluid mechanics and neuronal membrane physiology,we are combining multimedia technology with whiteboard and hands-on tabletop units.A Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer course

Hydrology is an elective course for senior and graduatestudents and is taught once per year in the fall semester with an enrollment between 30 and 70students, approximately 10% of whom are graduate students. The course covers thefundamentals of hydrology including basic issues and mechanisms of precipitation, infiltration,evapotranspiration, runoff, and subsurface flow, and accompanying computational methods.Special emphasis is placed on surface runoff quantity generation, including flood routing andforecasting and urban hydrology issues.

I think it can be hard in a traditional class. It can be hard to have lecture and then you have to go do your homework. And if you're not seeking out your classmates or creating study groups, then you're kind of left on your own and you’re stranded. But the way that the token review process through MOOCIBL works, we were forced to engage with other students and the way that they saw the material.”Participant C saw the value of how the peer-review process helped

Half of the class claimed that they persisted through failures throughout the course ofproject (Q6) and had done try and error to achieve the success. Almost the rest responded with“Often” and one student honestly responded with “Rarely”. Eight out of the fourteen studentsbelieved that the problem was very complex(Q7) and needed to think in all the project phases andthe project was complex for four of them with a level of four out of five. Only one student thoughtit was rarely complex (level of two out of five). The customer needs was examined at the beginningof the project as well as

Thus, havinga techhat is built off of resources meant to push students to learn actively is beneficial for a classthat requires constant engineering troubleshooting to succeed. In response to these challenges, this study explores the integration of artificialintelligence (AI) as an innovative tool to support laboratory-based mechanical engineeringeducation. Specifically, we developed an AI chatbot designed to provide immediate, on-demandassistance in engineering experimentation classes.
