INTRODUCTIONThe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Puerto Ricoat Mayaguez offers five-year B. S. degrees in electrical and computer engineering. In addition,M.S. and M.E. degrees are offered in both programs. The Electrical Engineering program has astrong core from which the students receive a broad spectrum of the fundamental

experimental techniques and analysis, and used those techniques tovalidate analytical and computational results. Toward the end of the course, the studentsselected an applied research project, and conducted an experimental investigation involvingflow-induced noise generated by flow over a component similar to that found on the exterior ofa vehicle. This paper addresses the process and techniques used to conduct this type of course.Samples of the students’ work are also presented.IntroductionKettering University, formerly GMI Engineering & Management Institute (GMI), is the nation’sonly engineering university employing a mandatory, full-time cooperative education workexperience.

The development of sensory systems that allowus to scan and monitor the state of an environment is a research field in continuous evolution.The technology has a great potential to serve as research or industrial instrumentation, as well asfor education purposes. It offers powerful opportunities for science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) education. This paper documents our early experiences developing a WSNfor environmental monitoring. The novel aspect of our work was the high level of involvement atall technical levels by undergraduate students. Highlights

Through the CURE program she found an advisor in Agriculture, who was interestedin taking a student from a very different discipline to help him in a project that required somewater systems design and construction planning. This student is an example of theinterdisciplinary work fostered by the CURE program, and her faculty research advisor hascontinued to support her on other research grants for over a year. The remaining students haveworked sporadically with faculty, but not “found a home” or have slowed participation inresearch. Interviews

Based Learning Coursesas somewhat simplistic as it has been reported that there is as much variation within these groupsas between these groups (Bennett et al., 2008). However, with regards to advances in ICT, studentsrather than staff are the early adapters (Reijenga and Roeling, 2009) which can be intimidating tostaff as the students often understand the new technology at a much higher level than the teachers(Ali, 2013). Teachers have been reported to be resistant to incorporate ICT into their teaching due toa lack of ICT experience, a lack of on-site support and a lack of time to incorporate it into courses(Mumtaz, 2000). Research has shown that for engineering educators to adopt a new practise it mustbe clear how the innovation offers

Worldeducation rankings show the US lagging behind other nations in developing STEM skills [1]. Inorder to help overcome this widening gap, the US began a push for STEM opportunities for K-12students outside of schools, especially for reach underrepresented minority (URM) students whomay not have equal access to STEM opportunities. In 2007, the University of Arkansas Collegeof Engineering (UACOE) began offering summer programs to increase STEM exposure. In thesecamps, students are free to develop

problems can now be declared obsolete and thendiscarded. But, many of these methods have purposes in the classroom and in engineeringpractice other than just producing numerical answers. They can be very useful in teachingbehavior, carrying out preliminary design, and checking software output for reasonableness. Inwhat can be considered a paradigm shift, today’s young engineers are themselves no longer theprimary producers of numerical solutions. They are increasingly users and managers of powerfulsoftware which carry out nearly all computationally-intensive tasks. We have also largely passedthrough a second stage computational maturity when engineers more often needed to preparecomputer programs to carryout analysis and sometimes design. In the
