THE GRADUATE COURSE IN ELECTROMAGNETICS: INTEGRATING THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE D. A. ROGERS AND B. D. BRAATEN Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering North Dakota State University Fargo, NDAbstractIn electrical engineering graduate programs, the first course in electromagnetic theory andapplications has been a staple for over 40 years. It has passed through the hands of multipleprofessors at many different institutions while using only a few standard textbooks in variouseditions. While a compelling goal has been to introduce students to the main areas ofelectromagnetic theory in common

Manyprogram components focus on the retention of under-prepared students (those starting behind inthe engineering math
EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF INDUSTRY SPONSORED SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT COURSE P. B. Ravikumar Professor, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering University of Wisconsin, Platteville, WIABSTRACTSenior design project courses in mechanical engineering are a challenging and importantclassroom experience for students often in their final semester of undergraduateengineering education. Senior design project courses are often structured to emphasizeteam work on projects initiated and/or sponsored by industry. Faculty involved inteaching such courses need to effectively manage the course offering and lead byexample to students who are learning to manage their own
Personality Type Demographics and their Relationship to Teaching and Learning P. B. Ravikumar University of Wisconsin, PlattevilleABSTRACTAssessment is the next most important activity that follows teaching-learning in the classroom.Assessment plans must be carefully strategized from a top-down perspective complemented by bottom-uprealities. The assessment plan strategy must include elements of robustness which would make the resultsfrom implementation of the plan as insensitive as possible and hence more reliable to unavoidablevariations. Examples of robustness assessment include assessment at the individual student level
Principles of Particle Technology: Philosophy, Topics & Experiments Keith B Lodge University of Minnesota Duluth Proceedings of the 2011 North Midwest Section ConferenceIntroductionGenerally there are key basic experiments that define the development of the subjects that weteach. For example, the experiments of Joule and Reynolds underpin thermodynamics and fluidmechanics. In the classroom we attempt to convey the results and conclusions of fundamentalexperiments in a period that is a minute fraction of the time in which the original experimentswere done and the corresponding concepts developed. The philosophy of the lecture-laboratorycourse is to enable students the

thinking required forproblem-solving.[4] However, empathy can diffuse emotions.[5]Barrett-Lennard describes a cyclical process of how empathy unfolds or builds between twoindividuals, “A” and “B”, that consists of 5 steps and 3 phases.[6] Barret-Lennard’s empathy cycleis summarized in table 1. In the first step, A is actively attending to B’s expression of experience(and hoping/trusting A will be receptive). B’s experience becomes known to A in a second step.

machine costs about $16,000, including the motioncontroller, software licenses and a PC. The total cost of the project, including salaries ofresearchers, students, indirect costs, parts, etc. was about $250K. Some of the costs were offset bydonations from industry.Although the lab stations are different machines, they share common features so that generalskills such as jogging axes, I/O mapping, user interface mapping, motion profile programming,etc. are all the same regardless of the machine. Hence, students can use any machine when they (a) Bottle filling (b) Gantry pick-and-place machine(c) Material handling with conveyor (d) Logo stamping on golf balls(e) Winding machine for fishing line
) answered prompts in front of the entire class and were surveyedcomprehensively in the beginning, middle, and end of the semester. This course was held inSpring 2020, where students started the course fully in-person and shifted to synchronous virtualinstruction shortly after the mid-semester survey. The course was at the introductory level, and itwas the first major-specific course in the curriculum. The course is typically taken in the springsemester of the second year, so students may know each other and have some experience withcollege level instruction.The other cohort (Cohort B) started the course in Fall 2020 with synchronous virtual instructionwith plans for partial in-person instruction. Cohort B students completed a one-question

The students were instructed to do a video recording and upload it to the serverand share it with the class for them to watch the built prototype, and it’s working principle with azoom presentation to follow. B. Hybrid/blended format in Fall 2020/Spring 2021: In Fall 2020, new challenges were introduced. Since the students' survey indicated their in-person instruction preferences, the instruction delivery moved to a blended model of zoom lectureand in-person LABs. The major challenge was to meet the 6-feet requirement for social distancingduring the LAB setup. Our LABS are generally equipped with 24 workstations for each student.During Fall 2020 and continuing in Spring 2021, the class was divided into two groups, and

As the virtual instruction was rated lowerfor every course type, the value of this difference was always positive. For each course
the fatigue experiments are destructive since weneed to apply cyclic loading until the failure of the structure. Also, fatigue experiments may takea long time since, in some cases, we need to apply a very large number of cycles in order tocause a fracture in the specimen. Both of these issues (i.e., cost and time) are not an issue in VLssince a) it is free for students to run as many experiments as they desire and b) theaforementioned “fast-forwarding” button allows students to conduct all experiments within amatter of seconds. Thus, in the case of the fatigue lab, we can easily plot the S-N curve based onthe VL results, whereas doing so based on the hands-on experiments alone is difficult.6.
