The main focus of the study is on theimpact of these approaches on students’ engagement, retention of material, and conceptualunderstanding of course material. A project-based learning (PBL) approach was incorporatedinto a manufacturing processes course through a real-world medical device project to providestudents with active learning experiences on medical device design and manufacturing.

These projects have a facultyadvisor to assist with arranging the use of department facilities and equipment, and handle thefinancial aspects related to university policy.

The deep learning algorithms for path planning/searching and  self-driving will eventually lead to an autonomous golf cart (AGC) that can navigate the campus  of Eastern Michigan University. We will integrate peripheral sensors such as Lidar, GPS, IMUs,  and control systems to the golf cart. The original golf cart’s mechanical chassis is the control  system’s foundation.

Ourfocus is to engage students with a project that connects the students’ interests with the conceptsof the course. The goal of the intervention is to increase student retention. To that end, we seekto answer the following research questions: (1) How can we engage students in the first course in programming? (2) What process or processes can be followed to engage students in the first course in programming?The intervention is a context based approach to a semester long project in the course. Themotivation of the intervention is to connect the students with the concepts throughout thesemester and to engage students to attend the class. We call the

Researchhas shown that students participating in service learning have a higher comprehension of the coursematerial and also develop an awareness of their local community and the issues it faces. In engineering,there are many examples of service-learning programs ranging from freshman introductory courses tosenior capstone courses. Despite their successes, an area that the engineering education community hasyet to fully develop is the reflection component of service learning.
