Persons or groups affected In this case, the persons or groups affected, as defined by Penn State, specifically included any person with a visual disability who relies on alternative text to perceive images or graphical content, and any person who relies solely on the keyboard to operate their machine. Among the most highly impacted users will be users who are blind and use screen readers and assistive technologies to interact with their computers, and users with physical issues who rely on keyboard-based input

state that “theneed for hands-on experience is presented as overcoming the emphasis on knowing ‘that’[theory] versus knowing ‘how’ [practice].” [3] Additionally, hands-on learning goes beyondenhancing technical knowledge and skills and provides invaluable opportunities to developprofessional and interpersonal skills [4].Laboratory work has long been recognized as a crucial component of a complete undergraduateengineering experience. Laboratory work teaches students how technical knowledge is applied inpractice. Many traditional labs have been successful in this regard [5]-[7]. Yet in light of therapidly changing professional landscape, disrupted by the unprecedented accessibility ofinformation and global connectivity via the Internet, and
increased ability to be innovative. Our Launch Lab program strives to implement and buildupon the insights garnered from these researchers mentioned above to ensure the long-termcareer success of our students.Launch Lab OverviewThe origin of YSU’s Launch Lab can be traced back to a conversation between an Art andMechanical Engineering Technology faculty in 2008. Their discussion centered around thecollaboration between STEM and Arts faculty to bring students from different disciplinestogether to work on interdisciplinary projects. Shortly after, the group began to use the name“Co-Lab” for collaborative laboratory. The first project with two students was completed in2009, and since that time, there have been typically three to four projects
toinclude the student-teacher in course planning before the semester begins, to provide guidance inpreparing and teaching a major portion of at least five classes, and to support participation in gradingand responding to student work. The student-teacher participates in all aspects of course planning,lesson planning, and student assessments with opportunities for reflective self-assessment andstructured feedback from faculty and student-teacher peers from lesson observations. Thispresentation will provide perspectives on the teaching practicum experience of a student-teacher,supervising faculty mentor, and students in a sophomore-level computational fundamentals ofbiomedical engineering design laboratory course.

growing global environmental concerns overtheir use for the generation of electric power have increased the interest in the utilizationof renewable energy. This also raises the needs for engineering and sciences programs toprovide training in the areas of renewable energy technology. New programs, courses andsupport laboratories need to be developed and implemented. This paper describes thedevelopment of a design module that forms part of a project-based course in solar-windenergy systems taught at one of the author’s former institution during the Winter 2006term. Course materials were developed during the summer 2005 and fall 2006. Thismodule, which is part of the course-support laboratory, consists of a decision supportsoftware application used

There have been reports ofimpressive work integrating writing centers or technical communication professionals withengineering courses. However, most engineering programs do not
fundamental instrumentation electronics. Instructional modules andexamples are also available at various web-sites for demonstrating and simulating electroniccircuits and responses. Many instrumentation textbooks cover analog and digital principles forinstrumentation but in different orders and formats (e.g. Johnson, 2006, Northrop, 1997).Reinforcement of principles and introduction to practical instrumentation and control examplesare offered through hands-on laboratory exercises, demonstrations, and preparation of a final teamproject. Laboratory exercises include experiments with temperature sensing, fluid flow,stress-strain, displacement, load-cell, ultra sound, and optical sensors. Computer interfacing withinstrumentation is presented and includes
about the potential of nanotechnologyto impact numerous facets of human life and society, and the incentive for expeditiouscommercialization of this technology is strong. However, considerations and factors, suchas long time between nanotechnology research and development of commercial products,large capital investment needed for a viable commercial venture, and financial/operationalrisks associated with commercial applications of nanotechnology, have impeded rapidadoption of this technology in the commercial domain. Substantial government funding,and involvement of academic institutions and research laboratories, are viewed as anessential response to these barriers. It is critical for the U.S. nanotechnology industry tospeed up the process of

Recent research1-6 on the merit of active studentinteraction with physical models has revitalized interest in the use of such models, not just inlaboratory classes but—more importantly—as an integral part of traditional lecture-basedengineering courses.Couple of years ago, the authors had an opportunity to design and develop a structural testingsystem at the Raspet Flight Research Laboratory at Mississippi State University. In oneexperiment, a whiffletree loading mechanism (WLM), as shown in Fig. 1, was designed and usedfor static testing of a full-scale composite aircraft wing. For simplicity, the wings were mountedupside-down and loaded downward to simulate the lift force distribution. Whiffletree

Lean and Six Sigma were developed separately.Lean is sometimes understood to be the Toyota Production System4 described by Taiichi Ohno5.When introducing Japanese lean philosophy and techniques to the United States, Womack andJones described a lean philosophy that focuses on customer value and extends beyond theelimination of waste6. In 1993, the Lean Aircraft Initiative (now renamed Lean AdvancementInitiative) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began to formalize and study the effectsof lean throughout the aerospace industry and have numerous publications7.

sound educational approach. The college has along history of using a learn-by-doing approach to engineering education. Indeed, it is embodiedin the motto of the university “Discere Faciendo”, to learn by doing. Through this pedagogicalapproach, understanding theory is facilitated and enhanced by demonstrating its application tothe real world situations. This learning and teaching paradigm has allowed the colleges graduatesto be more productive ab initio in their professional careers than their counterparts with a lessrigorous laboratory and project based exposure. As evidenced by the growth of the “learn-by-doing” approach to education in the United States and the rest of the world, project basedlearning has been accepted as a valuable
instruction. Thesemethods include computer based instruction, case studies and projects, portfolios and experiential learning. Theunique element of the Greenfield Coalition is its partnership with the Center for Advanced Technologies (C.A.T. )at Focus: HOPE in Detroit, Michigan, which is a national project including a futuristic 220,000 square footmanufacturing/learning facility opened in 1993. The C.A.T. provides both students, called candidates at Page 1.6.1Focus: HOPE, and a working laboratory of engineering case studies. The candidates work full time in theC.A.T.
