IntroductionIn Spring 2020–Spring 2021, we implemented virtual labs (VLs) enabling the opportunity forvisualizing deformation and stress to enhance the quality of aerospace structures education forstudents who are enrolled in the AAE 35201 Structural Analysis I Laboratory course at PurdueUniversity in West Lafayette, IN. The visualization effort went hand-in-hand with theinteractive VL modules that we implemented in the prior year (i.e., Spring 2019–Spring 2020)[1] at Purdue University. The VLs with enhanced visualization offered the users a physical senseof how the virtual and hands-on lab activities are connected to the aerospace structuresapplications. In this paper, our objective is to share our experience
Manufacturing CourseAbstractHands-on learning is the core of Engineering Technology programs, and a high number of thecourses is taught with the laboratory sections. This paper presents the service learning basedenhancements made in one of the Engineering Technology courses. Course students learnmanufacturing the complex machined workpieces using the G-code simulators. Teaching theapplied milling and turning practices is the main deliverable of the course with a required termproject which is focused to service learning concept. Student teams formed in the middle of thesemester design, simulate, and machine a functional service learning product using thedepartmental computers, simulators, and CNC machines for their project.

Criteria for inclusion in the program include: successfulcompletion of a bioinformatics-related course, enrollment in a primarily undergraduateinstitution (PUI) in Southern California, and interest in pursuing graduate studies inbioinformatics. To ensure a diverse cohort of students, women, black, latinx, Native American,and LGBTQ+ students are especially encouraged to apply. The facilities, research environment and research techniques at the foreign research siteare unique in the world. SciLifeLab is home to over 1,500 researchers across more than
to the scaling back of laboratory and hands on courses and components [1].Within the development of the curriculum at UMD it was decided early on that there was a needfor a program that emphasized practical, hands on learning while still including the technical 2010 ASEE North Midwest Sectional Conferenceskills and fundamental knowledge that is required to be a successful engineer. In addition tothere being a need for this type of program, it was thought that having an intensive hands-onprogram would result in graduates who are better prepared to enter the workforce. Thejustification being that even if you are employed as a design engineer, the more practicalknowledge you have about what you are designing or where
-to Face ClassesEach class included a final student assessment survey to monitor class delivery and effectiveness.A majority of students surveyed indicated a slight preference for on-line courses, but manypreferred traditional face-to-face classes; and we found that almost all of these students couldmeet on campus. The type of class affected on-line student learning and preferences. Classeswith little or no laboratory content, such as Industrial Safety (MET 424) and Manufacturing Proceedings of the 2010 ASEE North Midwest Sectional ConferenceResource Planning and Control (MET 407) gave results similar to or slightly better than face-to-face classes (See Figure 2): Instructional Evaluation MET

Participants in the RET program completed 280 hours (seven weeks) oftraining and research experience in renewable energy topics. About 50 hours were devoted tolectures and workshops, and the rest, about 230 hours, were research activities, collaborating inresearch teams with undergraduate and graduate students, and engineering professors. Participantsalso developed lessons for their courses that were delivered to their own students during the 2017-2018 school year. The lessons were directly related to the experiences

One program (3 years) is a comprehensive teacher professional development program in which middle school teachers participate in an intensive summer research experience in computer science and engineering labs, build curriculum based on the laboratory research content that they learn, participate in lesson study, and implement new curriculum in their middle classrooms. The second program (4 years) is a high school teacher RET program with similar components. This paper reports the results of both of the RET programs. The two programs had the combined

According to Shulman, signature pedagogies have threestructural dimensions – surface (operational acts of teaching and learning), deep (assumptionsabout how best to impart knowledge) and explicit (moral dimension that comprises a set ofbelieves about professional attitudes, values and dispositions). Signature pedagogies inprofessional disciplines also have three temporal patterns: an initial pedagogy that frames andprefigures professional preparation, capstone apprenticeships and a sequenced and balancedportfolio4. Engineering, with its mix of analysis courses, laboratories and design studios, ischaracterized by the latter. Shulman also notes that a signature pedagogy can also be illustratedby

The PM gives thestudents four or five higher level requirements. The students must write the remainingrequirements that follow from these higher level requirements. To do this they must furtherresearch the subject area, submit their requirements to the PM, and get them approved. Thisprocess takes several weeks. The engineering school librarian provides instructions on doing aliterature search. The students write a second research paper on what they have found. There isa laboratory exercise and several lectures in which the students learn how to write requirementswith the correct
