Engineering designblended with challenge-based instructions (a model of project based instruction) provides anexcellent model of instruction for obtaining multiple learning outcomes associated withdeveloping content knowledge, innovation skills, project management strategies, professionalskills (communicating, teaming, leadership) and disposition for sustained inquiry. Many firstyear engineering programs provide design challenges for teams to work on during the term (forexample

A group of five undergraduate studentsdeveloped the project concept and constructed a prototype within a semester, integrating majormechatronics engineering concepts learned in classes. The three-degree-of-freedom systemconsists of sensors, actuators, and controls to keep a free rolling ball in a desired position on aflat plate, accounting for any possible external disturbances. Due to its complexity, multiple stepswere taken to solve the

results.IntroductionEffectively using technology in the classroom has been a concern in education for many years.1, 2While there are a variety of technologies that are used to support education (e.g., computers3,clickers4, cell phones5, etc.), we have chosen to focus our work on electronic notebooks (i.e.,website development for project documentation). We not only explain and explore the use ofthis technology in our courses, we assess its impacts comparing sections without the newtechnology to sections with the implementation.There is a body of work in education that evaluates and discusses the impacts of electronicportfolios (EPs) which in many ways are similar to electronic notebooks. EPs are digitalcollections of artifacts that provide authentic, valid, and reliable

The aim was to recruit and retain students inscience, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors and facilitate their academicsuccess through hands on learning. Through an application process which considered studentinterests and backgrounds, awardees were paired with a faculty mentor to work on a researchproject over the summer. Students received a stipend and nominal equipment budget to purchasesmall items to support their research projects.

Followingmeasuring, there is a two-week introduction to the machines, which requires individuals tooperate the lathes and teams of two to operate the mills. Next, the students are given a two-weekproject where they individually make a screwdriver using the available equipment.
