common thread from UDL, EM, and HCD is collaboratively identifying solutions to meet theneeds of many users. As such, methods from all three frameworks were applied throughout thisproject to identify potential improvements to the bioinstrumentation lab.Background on Participatory Action ResearchOne common application of participatory action research (PAR) is developing knowledge andidentifying opportunities for quality improvement. The PAR approach combines participants andexperts in the research of social practices [12]. Generally, PAR includes cycles of reflection,planning, action, and observation. In education, PAR can be employed by instructors who wishto improve their teaching or courses by gathering evidence of teaching effectiveness

Science (B.S.) program requires a one-semester capstone design course. In thesame department, the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program curriculum also requires aproject management capstone style course. This requirement is among several differences whichseparates the M.Eng. program, which focuses on preparation for industry, from a Master ofScience (M.S.) which typically reflect more academic and research focus. Recently, UIUCcombined the capstone program for undergraduates and the M.Eng. capstone program into ajointly offered course. The details of the merger can be found in an earlier article [11].There are several key benefits to combining the two programs intended to enhance theexperience for students and instructors. One benefit of a joint

The goals of his research are 1) to develop tools and pedagogies that support engineers in achieving the positive societal changes that they envision and 2) to address systems of oppression that exist within and are reproduced by engineering education and work environments. He earned his B.S. in Engineering Sciences from Yale University, with a double major in East Asian Studies, and earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. He also holds a Graduate Certificate in Chinese and American Studies, jointly awarded by Johns Hopkins University and Nanjing University in China.Prof

Students agree that theyconsider as many different solutions as possible and that they like to use their intuition to solveproblems. Most students strongly agreed that they consider as many different solutions aspossible to problems with a common response being “There are always multiple ways to get toan answer in engineering, you just have to be creative enough to find that route.” A student whoagreed with this question showed more reflection in the response “I feel like I am getting betterat trying to diversify my thoughts

-on experiences. The paper details the methodology, expected outcomes, connectionto ABET student learning outcomes, and assessment strategies. This WIP reflects a commitmentto advancing engineering education in response to the evolving demands of the profession.IntroductionExperimental curriculum in engineering has witnessed a decreasing involvement. Laboratorycourses are simply used to support and demonstrate theoretical aspects of core engineering classes[1]. Traditionally laboratory experiments involve a step-by-step procedure with a known outcome.However, this method has proven to be effective in demonstrating a concept, it limits the student’sengagement in learning and doesn’t enhance their problem-solving skills or creativity

However, such an approach mighthinder the development of essential skills associated with labs in engineering education.Among these skills, one might cite communication and collaboration, safety, designingexperiments, and learning from failure. Furthermore, a common critique regarding virtual labsrefers to the use of idealized data that usually does not reflect the uncertainties and nuances ofthe real world [10]. Also, these labs generally lack the sense of reality necessary to immersestudents in more authentic experiences.The use of virtual labs in

They measured learningoutcomes using a questionnaire focused on basic concepts of light reflection using trigonometryand observed similar learning outcomes in learners from both laboratory types. Makransky, et al.[9] also reported that virtual simulations (as a substitute for physical demonstrations) wereeffective in teaching key laboratory skills.

By focusing on only part of the full-length report, the grading burden is also reduced. Direct and indirect assessments of students’ technical writing skills were carried out inthree semesters of the implementation of the ‘scaffold peer review’ approach in a junior levellaboratory course. Results of the assessments show significant improvement of the technicalwriting skills of students. Students’ reflection on about this approach and their perception abouttechnical writing in general also confirmed the positive impact of this approach.

Because machining work was done by students, thisis not included in the cost, but the cost to prepare the tooling and perform that machining workwould also likely represent a significant portion of the overall budget. Another factor to consideris that, sourcing metals from a local rather than online supplier can result in a lower cost. Localsuppliers were used where possible, but online sources are used for the table provided in order tobe more transparent, but still provide an approximate cost. Larger quantities may need to be or-dered, but cost was scaled so the price listed reflects the price for only the items needed to build asingle testing machine.
