The secondlecture covers engineering methods for conducting research, detailing best practices, availableresources, and an overview of the research process. As a homework assignment, a Mentor-TeamCharter (Appendix B) is completed by the teams and submitted by the third lecture. This charteris to be completed by the student team, with feedback and input from their faculty and/or graduatestudent/post-doctoral mentor. For the third lecture, student teams provide an introduction to their research project for theclass, providing relevant background information. Each team is also asked to present their researchplan for the semester, milestones

. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students.

For example, robotics students had completed all their control and programming coursesand were familiar with the control strategies and robotics implementation needed for the project.For this

In addition, a class survey administered to the team students showed the students' fullsatisfaction with the course on how their learning of multidisciplinary mechatronics engineeringimproved for their professional career development in the future. As a result, students learnedclear lessons on how a multidisciplinary engineering design project is implemented. In

At the beginning of the meeting the supervisor wouldlook over each student’s homework to ensure they attempted all the problems. Then eachstudent was asked to present a portion of their problem set. The problems selected by thesupervisors for students to present were those that required the application of important anddifficult concepts covered in the course.Each student in the group would be asked to present a portion of their solution using awhiteboard. The portion assigned was selected so that the presentation would require about tenminutes. Students were allowed to use their notes, but expected to explain each step

To a fellow engineering professor thismay seem overly prescriptive for an open-ended student-guided activity, but from the students’perspectives it is still far from clear. They often write of not having enough instruction and notknowing how to begin, which is necessary, for they are to decide how to

for this course includes implementing Bloom’s Taxonomy to design test questionsthat cover a wider range of cognitive levels. Currently, most questions are at the “application”level. A wider range of questions will allow for more robust analysis of student learning.Additionally, a concept inventory has been implemented as an additional measure of studentlearning. The development of a measure for team performance, independent of examperformance would allow the authors to more closely examine the effect of being on a high-performing team on student learning. Finally, the authors are investigating the effect of TBLextended to individual performance in downstream courses.ReferencesAnderson, L. W., Krathwohl, D. R., & Bloom, B. S. (2001). A
