Thiswas found again in Gasman et al’s. study [55], which also discusses the importance ofconnecting students with STEM capital, including STEM related opportunities and resources.Discovering that engineering faculty viewed their role in broadening participation as closelyconnected to how they support, encourage, and engage undergraduate students provides apotentially emerging engineering faculty perspective.

learning activities in a course.In the case of introductory physics labs, goals range from reinforcing content, learning aboutmeasurement and uncertainty, practicing communication skills, developing teamwork skills, and,more broadly, learning that physics is an experimental science. It is unrealistic to hit all thosegoals. A practical benefit SBG for educators is that SBG made assessment easy. Academicprograms in higher education are constantly under scrutiny of various organizations, such as theHigher Learning Commission (HLC) and Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). Because assessments and evidence collection are embedded in the day-to-day and lab-to-lab work, it is easier to integrate SBG into course level assessment

This course builds the foundationfor more advanced circuit analysis, so creating an environment where students think criticallyabout the material should lead to deeper understanding of circuits’ concepts as students progressthrough the discipline. Therefore, ECE 220 is a key course in the curriculum for the ECEdepartment to implement critical thinking (CT) techniques and evaluate the outcomes to guidebest practices in the future.The introduction of CT into ECE 220 started with one exercise in the spring of 2010 andgradually built in more CT exercises each semester. Each semester, lesson 4 (Node VoltageMethod for solving electrical circuits) and lesson 5 (Mesh Current Method for solving electricalcircuits) have been the focus for CT

The assignment prompt was to analyze the cycles by hand usingsteam tables or ideal gas relationships and then to simulate the cycle using a commonly usedprocess simulator, Aspen Plus. This allowed students to compare their hand-calculated answerswith the Aspen simulation. Students were provided a comprehensive video tutorial in thebeginning of the semester to explain how to use the software. After evaluating the assignmentssubmitted by the students, it was found that students were proficient in the use of the software toanalyze basic and complex thermofluid cycles.

Wewere rewarded for it - students loved these service projects. The S-L project served as a link fromengineering theory to everyday objects people can touch and see. Along the process they learnedwhat they needed to learn - the CAD tools. It was a win-win situation.

Lastly, student agency has been defined as “the waysstudents develop personally through engagement with knowledge” [24]. This characterization ofstudent agency is similar to Svihla et al. [21]. Both studies focused on students developing agencyas an integral piece for navigating pathways into their career as an engineer.Along with varying theoretical underpinnings of agential frameworks, multiple approaches wereused to investigate student learning, such as a multiple case study, narrative analysis, andphenomenography.

However, the Pi does not include analog input channels.External circuitry would be required to record analog signals making it less useful for dataacquisition.The Arduino Uno includes 14 digital I/O channels and 6 analog input channels making it moreuseful as a data acquisition platform. Secondly, students are able to connect currently availabledata acquisition equipment using either an analog or a digital breadboard adapter sold by Vernier.This allows students to use a Vernier Force Sensor, Motion Detector, or any other equipment.Using the adapters, students are not required to build any circuits

addition to the rising number of engineering students, another important factor is the educationand training program. Since manufacturing education is multi-disciplinary in nature, the selection ofcourses in the curriculum is very critical to the skill-level of the graduate. Although in Thailand there is noengineering program devoted solely to manufacturing, at present, a number of courses in manufacturing areoffered through the Departments of Industrial Engineering or Production Engineering in variousuniversities.II.

states. Typically oneproperty is left unchanged, as in the cases of isochoric, isobaric, isothermal or isentropic process.Therefore, if the initial state is specified, the final state can be determined with an additionalproperty. Using the first law of thermodynamics, heat exchange and work can be calculated. Forexample, as no work is done in an isochoric process, the amount of heat exchange can be figuredout from the difference in internal energy. On the other hand, an adiabatic process allows work tobe calculated from this difference in internal energy.During the investigation of internal combustion engines, a P-v diagram is very helpful, as thework can be intuitively shown as the integral of pressure over volume.

This study load is at least the time necessary for a “normal” student to fulfill thedemands of the study program and to successfully finish his studies.

For example, the complexity of climate change can best be understood when viewed from a geographical, multi-scale perspective of interconnected human/environment systems. The inherent geographical nature of various forms of data, information, and structure of problems has lead to numerous applications of GTs in scientific and engineering disciplines. As the barriers to the use and exploitation of GTs have been lowered, the application of GTs in practical problem solving has grown.

The concept of the learning loop has gainedpopularity through the work of Kolb6 and his four stage experiential learning model: 1)experience; 2) reflection; 3) generalising or theorising; and 4) planning. Therefore, the idealexperiential learner will be able to 1) involve themselves in new experiences without bias; 2) reflect upon experiences from multiple perspectives; 3) integrate their observations into logically sound theories; and 4) use these theories in decision making and problem solving.This kind of practice is precisely what is being
