The final step is configuring the firmware on the Bluetooth module anddeveloping a user interface on the LCD.1 IntroductionThe engineering programs at York College of Pennsylvania have always placed a heavy emphasison hands-on learning. Experiential learning is a core component of these programs from students’very first semester. This paper describes a Bluetooth audio amplifier project that was recentlycompleted by undergraduate computer engineering students in an embedded systems course. Theamplifier accepts connections from Bluetooth audio sources such as smartphones, tablets andcomputers. The wireless audio signal is amplified and output via a standard pair

Faculty in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) face issues suchas little preparation related to online pedagogy and technology, lack of knowledge about how toeffectively deliver online course content, the inability to conduct laboratory courses online, fearof student disengagement, and difficulties in adopting active learning techniques to the onlinecontext [2] - [4]. Here, active learning refers to individual or group activities designed to engagestudents in their learning during class (e.g., answering questions and group discussions) [5]; andit has been shown that, when it is implemented effectively in online settings, active learning canincrease student engagement, improve learning outcomes, and create more inclusive

Critical Role of Communication Abstract In line with the engineering accreditation board’s guidelines for program outcomes, thisstudy narrows in on the ability of undergraduate engineers to function in foreign teams (althoughnot multidisciplinary) and their ability to communicate effectively. The purpose of this researchwas to assess the effects of systematic membership change within teams and the role ofcommunication on student’s perceptions of learning. In an attempt to mirror the reality of engineering work life, a systematic membershipchange was imposed on an electrical engineering class to situate students within a permanentteam, while still engaging in the

The leading cause ofall these crashes is unfortunately not imputable to machine but to human mistakes (driving underinfluence, careless driving). To mitigate or eliminate all tragic consequences related to humanerror when driving, the use of autonomous driving cars has been considered.In this work, we present the RazorCar, a FPGA-based prototyping platform for autonomous radiocontrolled (RC) driving systems.

At a recent IAC meeting, theimportance of including GD&T in the ME curriculum was reiterated.Companies typically send design engineers to intense courses to learn GD&T, often as long as 40hours, which is approximately as many contact hours as a typical three credit-hour universitysemester course. Such a course is typically supported by a comprehensive reference text such asFoster.1 On-line GD&T courses are also available.2A logical place to introduce GD&T is in a first-year design graphics course.

The experiment and results are described in the next section.One important concern regarding the use of CONSIDER in STEM courses, as an anonymousreviewer noted, is that “in non-STEM the questions are usually asking for opinion, whereas, inSTEM-related majors, the answers might be very clear.

Discussion of correct and incorrect puzzleresponses often provides other “teachable” moments because any students who have offeredanswers have high interest in knowing if their answers were correct.
