Albeit there was a concern that we may miss out the opportunity to generatetraditional technical writing, students’ feedback was rave and agreed that it was a great way toget excited about their projects. The new emerging paradigm is characterized by the conceptsand principle of agility[8]. We face open source movements daily and find numerous technicalsites that share their projects with a great amount of details. Sharing their knowledge online canbe a good opportunity to ignite engineering students’ creativity and innovative mind. The ideasand their

In thisproject, a double sideband large carrier waveform is produced using a simple switchingmodulator circuit. The resulting amplitude modulation (AM) waveform is then demodulatedusing an envelope detector circuit. The proposed project requests that students perform a circuitsimulation as well as an actual circuit implementation. The circuit behavior is studied via bothanalysis using software tools and measurement using hardware components. The project furtherrequires that the electrical signals are visualized in both the time and frequency domain toenhance concept understanding. The paper

The experimental design proposal wasthe starting point for experiments.Data Collection and Program EvaluationOnce experiments were underway, students needed to adjust and refine their procedures andhypotheses since instrumental analyses rarely worked the first time exactly as planned. Problemsoccurred and new questions arose. Students modified their experiments to solve the problemsand/or answer those questions. This process was repeated multiple times over the course of thePBL and semester and cemented the process of engineering design in the mind of the students.PBL

traditional classroom model has served academia to its full ability, but change has come.Some US universities have average college class sizes upwards of 50 students [6]. A standardlecture in a 40+ student class often falls short in answering individual student questions andstruggles to foster a cohesive community where peer-to-peer interaction is so limited [7].There is a consensus that both incoming freshman engineering students and recent engineeringgrads need different skills and support systems to succeed in college and career than they didbefore the internet revolution.MethodologyThe following methodology was used for identifying Factors of Success for EducationalTechnologies and Best Practices.Keeping in mind the ever-changing technological

To foster further learning, the facilitators let studentsengage in discussion with one another on the pros and cons of taking a plane, riding the bus,riding the train, and driving to a vacation destination. This experience was unique because itallowed students to teach students from their own experiences. It also helped students form moreopen-minded opinions about modes of transportation that they had not experienced.Introduction to Transportation Engineering at Westlake
