. Specifically, the goal is to develop a new database of industry-based problems andexamples tailored to fit into courses across the core curriculum.A central tenet of ANT is its emphasis on the interaction between material and human actors. Inkeeping with that approach, t​he primary data source for the study was an inventory ofcurriculum-related materials drawn from across the undergraduate program. A total of 753documents were reviewed from 15 core courses, with specific documents including syllabi,homework, lecture slides, and exams. Problems and examples from those materials were groupedaccording to emergent themes, in order to map how and where examples drawn from engineeringpractice are being used. The material component of the study was

This work provides an innovative solution for optimizing learningeffectiveness and improving educational outcomes through the development of virtual models thatcan be used and integrated into the existing robotics laboratory. The goal is to apply theseprototypical simulators to train undergraduate engineering students and professionals in roboticseducation; and to offer experiential learning opportunities in 3D modeling, simulation, andvisualization. The final project was assigned to the students with the topics on virtual realitymodeling related to green manufacturing or other engineering topics.

The purpose of the vehicle project is to motivate students to learn about teamwork,engineering design, math, physics and technology. The candidates create a curriculum plan thatincorporates the project. The curriculum plan includes the educational objectives that thecandidates intend to meet and the assessment tools that the candidates will use. The candidatesbuild examples of the vehicles and test them in a friendly competition at the end of the course.During the summer of 2002, candidates were introduced to the Ekranoplan vehicle.

While the first demonstrations were primarilyfocused on the detection of vapors alkanethiols [9], more recent applications have includeddetection of heavy metal ions (Hg, Cu, As) in liquids [10] and organic molecules [11]. The later areparticularly well-suited for classroom exercises, as many issues associated with safe handling oforganic vapors have been eliminated. Cantilever beams and their deformation under mechanicalloads is a classical undergraduate topic covered in all mechanical engineering programs. The mostcommon method of measuring the deflection of a cantilever is the optical lever technique as shownin Fig 1. The technique works with a focused laser diode beam at the free end of the cantilever,which is

The students came from schools in Palm Beach and BrowardCounties (Suncoast High, Dillard High, Spanish River High, Atlantic Community High, West Boca High, andJP Taravella). In the class the students worked in groups to finish three big projects. They were 1) modelsubmarine, 2) remotely operated vehicle (ROV), and 3) autonomous surface vehicle (ASV).

This isdue, at least in part, to the changing skill sets of students entering engineering programs today.Wood and Wood concluded the following: Instead of a tinkering background with the dissection of machines and use of tools, students are now entering with computer, video games, and other “virtual” experi- ences. This focus has left a void in the ability to relate engineering principles to real- world devices and applications 1.And that, these different skill sets (and learning styles) can be addressed by introducing morehands-on experiences into engineering curriculum. These conclusions were the motivation of thecurrent research. That is, it was taken as a premise that moving from a
