experience with real data and real applications. While significant progress has beenmade in the former, one key aspect that has yet to be addressed is hands-on experienceincorporating real-world applications. Specifically, it is insufficient for undergraduate students tobe handed a “canned” data set and be told to analyze it using the methods that they are studying.Such an approach will not prepare them to solve more realistic and complex problems, especiallythose involving large, unstructured data. Instead, students need repeated practice with the entireDSE cycle beginning with ill-posed questions and “messy” data [1]. To this end, the followinggaps have been identified. (1) There is a lack of real data and application based interactivelearning

Such learning deficiencies can be largely attributed to theineffectiveness of the traditional lecture-mode of teaching during which much effort is spent onthe analysis of discrete members, while less emphasis is devoted to understanding the behaviorof the entire structure in a three-dimensional (3D) structural context.In this study, we explore the potential of augmented reality (AR) to facilitate the teaching ofstructural analysis concepts. AR combines the real world with the virtual content so that itconserves users’ awareness of the real world environment in a 3D space [3]. It enables users tovisualize virtual objects and to interact with both real and virtual objects in the same context [4]thus extending their perception

Instructional self-efficacy: These questions are to find out whether teachers feel they have more knowledge, tools, and confidence to assist themselves in teaching after they participate in the summer program. The teachers’ summer research should have loaded them with more tools and capabilities. B. Community involvement: These questions are to find out whether teachers realize that they have more access to community resources after the summer experience. The teachers’ summer activities include field trips to local industries to experience real world

One commonfeature of these types of experiences is that they are often superimposed on top of a moretraditional curriculum whose courses focus on fundamental engineering

, and enhancing virtual reality.1 These challenges are complex, multiplydetermined, and fraught with social and personal complications. As such, solving them willrequire engineers who combine both technical training and other skills (e.g., ability to work ingroups, communication, etc.).2 Such complementary skills are often difficult to develop in thecourse of traditional engineering education, which often presents technical problems in abstractand stylized form without connection to real-world applications. Such education works for manyengineers, but it risks missing those students who could be engaged by the opportunity to addressproblems of fundamental import.Here, we describe a framework for integrating the NAE GC program into engineering

Because of these benefits, there has been a long standing interest of incorporating Making inthe classroom. Despite the wide variety of options for classroom Maker kits, they often share adesign trait that makes it difficult for students to generalize concepts outside of the classroom.Jenkins and Bogost has referred to this issue as the sandbox effect, in that while students canengage in STEM concepts within the confines of the kits, the moment one attempts to apply saidconcepts outside of the kit, they aren’t as easily applicable to real world applications (e.g., “littleBits” [4] is a kit of electronic connectors that

Real-world examples are helpful to understand the content of the course.There are other examples that can be used in ways similar to the Hyperloop. For example, wehave built a series of problems and exercises around human-powered pumps that have beendeveloped and subsequently used for irrigation in sub-Saharan farming communities [18].
