. Teaching Physics is always fun, butteaching the same course content in little less than half the time in is hard for the instructors,while learning the concepts and solving problems in an accelerated pace is challenging forstudents. To reverse this trend, and to make learning as interesting as possible, I restructured thecourse with weekly in class team activities and a final team project to work outside the class.One of the objectives of this approach is to help students develop the habit of helping others tounderstand the basic engineering physics concepts in a give and take manner.This restructuring was tested in a small class environment and for a summer accelerated course.In this report we will present detailed information about the team’s

This type of project, which has proven veryeffective in engaging students, is used in many areas of technical courses as hands-on activitiesand demonstration and, in addition, lab work. Additionally, the focus of robotic project is onhardware/software interface, data communication, electrical circuits, and mechanisms whichreflect actual engineering activities in a company. These areas provide a tight integration ofmany STEM concepts and activities for capstone course.

Unfortunately, thesecompetencies are among those identified as key weaknesses of the engineering graduate. Hood,Sorensen and Magleby [Hood,1993] list the weaknesses identified by industry to include: 1)weakcommunication skills, 2) poor perception of the overall project engineering process, 3) little skillor experience working in teams, 4) a narrow view of engineering and related disciplines, 5) nounderstanding of manufacturing processes, and 6) a lack of appreciation for consideringalternatives.

We describe the initial steps of an NSF funded project focused on creatinglearning environments and materials designed to support engaged remote student learning. Theapproach utilizes IoT learning kits that are lent to students to provide hands-on learningexperiences and promote remote engaged learning at students’ own chosen environment.The IoT involves infrastructure in which a wide variety of physical devices interact with oneanother and share information. When designing, working with or combining these devices,engineering students must consider, among other things, sensors and signals, sensor and systemintegration, input and output interfaces

. This is due to the emphasis onearly prototyping, quick feedback and incremental development. It still might not be thefavorable method for use in large scale industrial development projects where formalprocedures might still be preferred, but the pedagogical advantages in mechatronics educationare valuable. Incremental development and rapid prototyping for example gives manyopportunities to reflect and improve. The Scrum focus on self-organizing teams also providesa platform to practice project organization, by empowering students to take responsibility forthe product development process.Among the results of this study, it is shown that it is possible and favorable to integrate Scrumin a mechatronics capstone course and that this can enhance

However, the engineering profession is not as seamless as academicdesign experiences would suggest, as there are constantly changing requirements, resources, andbudgets – what we coin “design volatility”. Students do not typically experience design volatility,as most of their courses are well organized with a fixed syllabus. This paper examines the impactof design volatility on perception of individual and peer contribution to a semester-long,sophomore level design project.

AbstractThis paper explores an innovative cross-disciplinary project conducted at the University of Texas atSan Antonio, which integrated students from Engineering core class "Introduction to MaterialsScience and Engineering" and English core class "Shakespeare: The Later Plays" into a collaborativelearning experience. The project aimed to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world application by pairing Engineering and English students to design and learn 3D printing tofabricate stage props and models based on Shakespearean plays. This hands-on project requiredstudents to transcend their disciplinary boundaries and engage in a real-world "designer/client –technical provider" interaction.
