This paper describes UTC’s process of using freshman hands-on design projectsto address these outcomes. Of special interest is the impact of student projects that address needsof children with disabilities.IntroductionThe Engineering program at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) recentlyredesigned its freshman introduction to engineering design course (IED) to use Project–BasedLearning (PBL) to excite students to independently learn, to create an environment for peerlearning, and to increase student in-class and

However, with theintroduction and subsequent popularity of the Apple iPod©, if seemed a natural step to migratecourse instruction into that particular method of course delivery. This paper encompasses theprocess of producing a 3-semester-hour lecture course in a format that can be effectively viewedby students on an Apple iPod©, or watched on any computer using Apple QuickTime© mediaplayer.With the growth of the distance education program at ODU, several

While open laboratories have been proposedas a means to insert hands-on analysis and design into traditional lecture courses, this approachrequires that students return to campus to complete their assignments. In addition to resourceallocations associated with maintaining equipment laboratories, open laboratory traffic can beproblematic, e.g., in instances where classes are offered as service courses for large numbers ofstudents in other departments. This paper addresses the creation of a hands-on learning toolkitcalled the Rapid Analysis and Signal Conditioning Laboratory (RASCL), a portableanalog/digital prototyping unit that provides a student with the capability to attend to hands-onassignments at home.

The second cohort includes 13 students, of whomfour are engineers, while the third cohort has 10 engineering students and two students from non-engineering fields. Students from cohorts two and three were recruited more recently and,therefore, are newer to their graduate programs. This paper will focus on students from the firstcohort, many of whom have already completed masters degrees.In this paper, we discuss findings from a qualitative evaluation using multiple methods ofinquiry.

Byinstilling systems thinking into the context of healthcare systems improvement, this frameworkoutlines the context, contents and relationships of this increasingly important, multidisciplinaryengineering domain. A very important issue therefore is for the educators, students andpractitioners to develop a sound understanding of what “healthcare systems engineering”actually means. This paper attempts to address this issue by, based on lessons learned fromsystem improvement efforts in the industrial sectors, presenting healthcare systems engineeringin a number of key terms

the success of current strategies is limited by the knowledge we have about theconcerns of engineering educators. To address this, we are conducting research on engineeringeducator teaching challenges. To collect data, we are tapping a unique source — a program thathas been highly successful in supporting engineering faculty as they implement effectiveinstructional methods in their courses.
