Mesa, Arizona, 85212.AbstractBy responding to the needs of many organizations, a critical mass of faculty and industryexpertise has been assembled around the Microelectronics Teaching Factory (MTF) atASU’s East Campus. With students from the University and local Community Colleges,the aggregate number of students provides a large load for the MTF. All students (andfaculty) follow the same safety training and industry-standard qualification. The BSclasses follow a sequence: web-based preparation; simulation to explore keyrelationships; MTF lab work appropriate to the degree level; class work to integrate thelearning experience and internship or project in one of the participating companies. Thegoal is to develop an efficient learning

Somehow we must expand the opportunities we have for interacting with moreof our colleagues, while reducing the costs associated with the historical mode we have adopted.Furthermore, so much of the educational materials and resources we are creating in response tothe demands articulated by industry, our students and society also require a substantialinvestment of our time and financials. We need to pool our efforts, to work collaboratively inthat same manner as we teach our student engineers they must work when employed bycompanies developing products and providing services to their customers.2

EM370 Shortfalls prior to Collaboration with Industry Although the software used in the restructured course was fully associative, it didnot seem to support the top-down design process as taught in many of the undergraduateclasses using Pro/ENGINEER. For example, many freshmen courses in EngineeringDesign Graphics (EDG) that use parametric CAD software like Pro/ENGINEER start byteaching students the basics required to make a simple solid model or part1. The nextlogical step is to teach a novice CAD user to combine the parts into an assembly. Someinstructors and textbooks prefer to create drawings from

Thishas primarily been accomplished through the semester long special projects rather than withchanges in the organization of the lectures or laboratory periods.Prior to 1997, special projects were assigned which integrated the concepts of resistance to flowthrough a system, performance of pumps or fans, heat transfer, and psychrometrics through aproblem involving a batch grain drying system. Beginning in 1997, the emphasis of the specialproblem was shifted to a study of the flow of blood through the human vascular system, theperformance of the

Other than incorporating field trips to construction sites and modelbuilding – which time may not permit – the use of videos, slides and construction details prevail.Over the course of their college education, engineering students in lecture style classrooms areshown visual aids to enhance spatial thinking in a variety of forms and from many sources.Spatial thinking is “the mental manipulation of objects and their parts in 2D and 3D space.”4One type

We anticipate that SBG will allow forfrequent, formative feedback throughout a single course as well as inform the instruction offaculty teaching subsequent courses building on these standards, including courses beyond thissequence such as Capstone. Our long-term goal will be to identify, align, and assess LO withinand across these courses in the curriculum using SBG. We will also review and assessimplementation of SBG in this context.This preliminary work focuses on implementation of SBG in the culminating course.

built a full scale construction laboratory wherecadets experience building design and construction methods by doing it themselves. The AeronauticalEngineering Department teaches flight test by putting cadets in Cessnas and having them do flighttest. Those of us teaching Astronautical Engineering, here and at other schools around the country,face an especially difficult challenge in this regard. We can’t put our students in space and it is verydifficult and expensive to put their projects there. Space educators and experimenters are nothing if not innovative. They’ve used a variety ofmethods to get student projects into space, close to space, at least, into a regime that’s a lot like space.Sounding rockets in a variety of sizes are used
. The dhliculty in using computer analysis programs is that students arerequired to use an unfamiliar language. Because of the time involved in learning this new sofiware language,the computer analysis of electronics circuits is sometimes delayed to a later course. CapFastl is a flexible and usefil circuit design software tool for electronic design engineers. TheCapFast soflware has many finctions and features that make students productive sooner. They can draw thecircuit schematic with standard component symbols using drop and drag techniques. This makes it easy forthem to draw and modi~ the circuit schematic. Including CapFast software as an integral part of a courseallows more time to teach the theory because computer simulations can
recent years, Universal Design Principles, which were initially focused on physical spaces, have been extended to learning environments. The branch relating to learning environments specifically is called Universal Design for Learning, or UDL. A working definition for UDL, adapted from Riviou by Miller and Lang, is a framework that “involves providing many curriculum delivery formats and teaching strategies in order to maximize the learning and engagement of students with a variety of learning styles and needs, while benefiting everyone in the process[new citation, Riviou]][14,15].” Miller and Lang address how UDL can be incorporated into science laboratories, specifically to address students who experience stress in the lab environment, and

She reports most studentswere highly engaged in the activity, with one student extending it for a science fair project andplacing at the state-level STEM fair. Students in Gwen’s archaeology course manufactured theirown adobe bricks and then participated in a guided inquiry lab for their preservation. She reportsthat many of her 21 students (57% female, 80% minority) have inquired about careers in researchas a result of the activity.Art, who teaches Physics at his school, is developing a pre-engineering
