Session 2238 Significance of Mechanical Design Laboratory on Student Projects, A Preliminary Study Raymond K. Yee San Jose State UniversityIntroductionEngineering courses emphasize analysis and problem solving abilities a great deal. Many of thehomework assignments are designed for developing these analytical skills. However, besidesanalytical skills, creative thinking, communication, and teamwork skills are also very importantfrom the university’s perspective. Design projects for engineering classes can complement thedevelopment of these skills in
be further promoted in every studied engineering major in order to enhance seniorstudents’ achievement of program outcomes related to this process, which have been emphasizedby many national and international organizations such as AI14 and ABET15, respectively.Learning toolsThese are understood as those that are designed to facilitate the learning process. In this sense,students use tools for learning activities in order to achieve course learning and programoutcomes. On the one hand there are technological, and on the other “traditional” (without theuse of technology) tools. Our results give an indication that traditional tools are still widely usedand preferred by many students when learning (blue bars in Figure 5). However
engineering programs is on the “Propertiesof Construction Materials”. The majority of text books for this subject focus on the use,selection, and specifications of common construction materials; such as aggregate,concrete, asphalt, wood and masonry. Courses of this nature often centered aroundlaboratory sessions focused on test procedures designed to measure the properties that aretypically used in specifications of these materials. There is a desire to include morescientific concepts and improve the linkage between the fundamental material propertiesand the behavior of construction materials under different loading and environmentalconditions. Available textbooks vary widely in their treatment of fundamental concepts.Although standard ASTM test
undergraduate learningin the pursuit of innovation is a cross-college collaborative teaching and learning approach. Thiscollaborative model for teaching undergraduate innovation includes co-teaching and co-learningwith faculty and students across academic units/colleges, over multiple semesters, to foster acommunity of practice to nourish their own innovative ideas and learning of cross-disciplinaryinnovation practices.

About 87% of UTPA’s engineering students are Hispanic. A majority of them are also firstgeneration college students from humble backgrounds. A significant minority work at least part-time, outside the university, to support themselves and their families.ÃCompounding thischallenging situation is a liberal admission policy that has resulted in classes with studentsspanning a wide range of ability and preparation. Many of them show a lack of confidence in theirabilities and find it difficult to relate lecture material to real-world problems

Course Using Design-Based Teaching ApproachAbstract: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes is one of the core courses in most mechanicalengineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering programs. The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems

My personal career path is going in a manufacturing operation and maintenance direction. And the power system, distribution knowledge that is gained from the performance of experiments with this equipment will provide me the ability to contribute to a company’s bottom line in the form of energy savings, power quality, and environmental stewardship.

We serve WWW interactions from the samecomputer that automates the experimental setup.Interfacing from the WWW to our automation programs occurs through common gatewayinterfaces (CGIs). In general, CGIs accept user parameters through forms embedded in theHTML, and then execute based on these parameters, e.g. a WWW search engine is a CGI.During execution the CGI either creates output web pages or directs the user to an existing site.In our web-based experiments a user inputs experimental controls through a form. The CGI thenexecutes its automation program based on these parameters and creates a web page that displaysthe experimental results to the user. While you can write a CGI
