Traditional approaches toengineering education, including lectures, homeworkassignments, and laboratory experiments, are combinedwith reflective writing assignments and the submissionof a nanotechnology review article to a simulated peer-reviewed journal edited by the instructors and otherstudents in the course. These activities are seamlesslyintegrated into the course providing a coherent, multi-faceted structure for the education of the studentsenrolled in the course. Figure 1

Recognizing that we could not satisfy all of the needs of all constituents, we focusedon those needs that transcended many businesses. Various different local industries desired toemploy graduates skilled in electronics, three-phase electrical machinery, power distribution,manufacturing, and controls. They needed graduates who can write and speak well, whounderstand the economic and social implications of their business, and who are well trained inthe latest technology - able to apply it during the first day on the job.

You might point out that research suggests that learning modalitiesvary between students, from day to day, and from topic to topic (e.g. see McCalley et al. (1987)).Active learning allows students who rely more heavily on experiential learning to conceptualizeand internalize the material presented in class.After this informal introduction to active learning, it is beneficial to support it with somethingconcrete.

Students need to know how well they are doingand are typically open to suggestions for improvement. Generally, the clearer and morespecific an instructor can be with feedback, the better the results for students. Students alsobenefit from peer reactions and should be encouraged to take responsibility for their ownlearning (i.e., taught to self-evaluate).

peers at other institutions involved in the Mobile Studio project to redesign variouslaboratory and design experiments so that they can be completed by the students using theMobile Studio IOBoardTM. The key issue that we had to address was the fact that the MobileStudio IOBoardTM is limited to very low voltages (plus or minus 4 Volts) because it draws itspower from the USB port of the laptop it is connected to. This implied that laboratoryexperiments that required a “Power Supply” or “Function Generator” with more than 5 volts hadto be redesigned in such a way that the overall concept of the experiments could still beunderstood by the students.

. This second semester ‘programming’ course had not fullymade the connection between software written to solve a practical problem and how it might be used todrive hardware/devices in a visible experiential way. As a result, students were skeptical, expressing adisconnect with real-world and career applications. This weak cause-and-effect association at timesresulted in a somewhat uninterested learning population. It became apparent that students did not deeplyunderstand the importance of writing code in relation to engineering problem solving. We as instructorssaw an opportunity to take a role in bridging this gap.Challenge #2: Resources. A further challenge relates to resources: How can we demonstrate the value ofprogramming and problem

During the second week of classes, the students took a tour of the Engineering Design Building, including the Maker Space. Students talked with the maker space supervisor to discuss how they could use the maker space to build their projects. • A module on the engineering design process. Before the students were given their project definition, students spent two classes learning about the engineering design process (research, ideation, design selection, prototyping, testing, iteration) to understand how they should approach the design project. • A module on technical writing

The mid-project peer evaluations are mostly consideredformative and do not affect the student's grade immediately. The instructor provides feedback toeach student individually at that point. After the end-of-project peer evaluation, the instructorwill compute the individual adjustment factor for each student, if needed, and apply it to theentire project grade for the student. Our experience is that after the first peer
