History of Curriculum Change in Mechanical Engineering at Penn StateThe B.S. Mechanical Engineering program at Penn State graduates approximately 250 studentseach year. The forty full-time equivalent faculty in Mechanical Engineering teach the MEcourses and are also expected to be active in research in their area of specialty. 40% of thefaculty have had direct experience in industry. Students are admitted into the ME degreeprogram after the fourth semester. Approximately 60% of the students in mechanicalengineering start at the University Park campus while the others start at one of eighteen branchcampus locations. Since required courses in the first two years of the program must be availableat all campus locations, the curriculum cannot have

The importance of such an investigation calls for a careful and objectivepresentation of information from all pertinent areas of knowledge, along with an understandingof sources, their reliability, and prevailing presuppositions.A team of students and faculty members from Engineering and Education areas at Oral RobertsUniversity (ORU) are developing a more holistic approach to the study of planet Earth. Typicalearth science courses are limited to a presentation of scientific findings, with virtually noconsideration of what to do with these findings. “What does one make of these scientificdiscoveries?” is a good question, that is asked (in one sense) by engineers and (in another sense
. We are takingadvantage of social media by creating novel science-related posts every few weeks, to encouragelearners to engage with the subject and conduct further research about various scientific conceptsthat are related to the course content but are outside the syllabus. The goal of these social mediaposts is to make students excited about learning and guide their self-directed studies in materialsscience (see Instagram posts in Fig. A6). It is also worth mentioning that some learners haveprivately mentioned to the instructor that they appreciate the additional content, which provides apersonal touch and demonstrates a sense of caring for the students during the global pandemic.6.

electrical and computerengineering. The rapid changes that are taking place in the engineering field, some of thetechniques the students learned or exposed to might have changed since the time theyentered the program to the time of graduation.Thus a capstone course was necessary to bring the senior students up to date in thevarious fields of electrical and computer engineering and to provide guidance tosuccessfully complete their senior design project. The students take courses based on theplan of study from the freshman year to the senior year when they are required tocomplete a project for graduation. Also the students may not be familiar with sub field ofelectrical engineering like power electronics if they have taken the electives

The aim of the control of an invertedpendulum system is to balance the pendulum using feedback control when the pendulum is in itsupright unstable position. An inverted pendulum system has been known as an idealdemonstration in control laboratories when introducing basic feedback control concepts andtheories1,2. There are two basic forms of inverted pendulum systems3, as shown in Fig. 1. The mostcommon inverted pendulum system has the pendulum mounted on a carriage base. The pendulumis a driven link that can rotate freely in the vertical plane about a pivot on the carriage. Thecarriage base is usually a driving cart that can move in the horizontal plane, usually along a trackor

Similarly, students who progress throughundergraduate education in general have been shown to adopt less conservative and traditionalsocial views, and gain more liberal ones11,12
