aggregation.Using the TriQL QB interface, students can immediately query the database without any priorknowledge of any database programming language.TriQL lab 2, which will succeed all SQL, MongoDB, and Neo4J labs, will include open-endedquestions that encourage students to use TriQL to solve problems and reflect on the differencesbetween the relational, graph, and document-oriented models and their query languages. We willdesign this lab to showcase the advantages and disadvantages of each data model. For example,students can work on a scenario in which data entities are highly connected.

project management professional (PMP).Mr. Payton Ashby Staman, University of Indianapolis Payton studied Mechanical Engineering at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering at the University of In- dianapolis. Among the first class to graduate from the program, Payton has remained in the Indianapolis area, working for a local utility company, Citizens Energy Group. Working for Citizens as a mechan- ical engineer, he enjoys supporting the community while maintaining Indianapolis’s system for water, wastewater, gas, and thermal utilities. Payton is also a member of ASME.Mr. James T Emery II, University of Indianapolis James Emery is the Laboratory Manager for Mechanical Systems at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering at the

, andmechanical engineering and applies these topics to a variety of applications of electromechanicalsystems including robotics, control, and automation. Engineers in this field are vitally importantin continued development of autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics, and space explorationvehicles. Anderson University has recently been awarded ABET accreditation in ComputerEngineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Based on the disciplinesrepresented at Anderson University, mechatronics is a logical choice for further development ofupper-level elective courses. Students with experience in mechatronics are increasingly valuablein the automation and manufacturing workforce. Many students who attend Anderson Universityin STEM related

developed for an upper level engineering electronics courseto leverage guitar pedal design for teaching discrete amplifier design and PCB layout. This paperpresents these projects, resources for implementing the projects, as well as assessment results fromthe initial offering of this course. In addition to direct assessment of the amplifier design courseobjectives, qualitative student survey results are presented. Both the direct assessment and studentsurvey results suggest that this approach was effective in helping students better understandamplifier analysis and design.IntroductionUniversally, electrical engineering programs require courses in analog electronics. These coursesoften possess at least one specific student learning outcome related

global average (64.00%) on the first attempt. Related research byWebster and Ottway (2018) on certification value for students “concluded that it is beneficial toundergraduate engineering and ET students to become SOLIDWORKS certified and that theengineering community perceives this program as a valuable asset” (p. 30). It is important to note that the term certification as used in this paper is not equal to acertificate, degree, or license. According to Workcred (n.d.), a certification is generally awardedby an industry/professional certification body, awarded for an independent competencyassessment, and indicates skill mastery and/or knowledge gain. Training time, time to complete,and the required renewal period, if any, for certified
