T his need fueledthe rapid growth of data science education training the next generation of data-centric workers.Initially, data science teaching practices drew from data science's parent disciplines (e.g., computerscience, mathematics and statistics). However, because little consensus exists on the appropriateblend of these fields, pedagogical practices need to be critically evaluated for their effectivenessin the new context of data science education.T he Investigations of Student Difficulties in Data Science Instruction project addresses the earlydevelopment of concept inventory topics

For many pursuing an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, the process canbe tedious and difficult. Much like an engineering design, an engineering education requiresspecific tools to see the problem from design to production. For many, the desired solution toproducing the degree is supplemented only by an introductory design class, a few hands onlaboratories that provide an introduction to a few key basic concepts, and a capstone course thatrequires the implementation of the acquired knowledge in a final design project intending tomimic the design process

These skills include product design, resource planning,process planning and cost analysis, but the primary focus is in producing a design that ismanufacturable. The most recent offering of this course gives the student an option of lab seriesin which to develop the concepts of DFM. One series uses manual machining processes and theother uses Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing. Ideally each student can learnusing the method they are

Once complete, students will present their projects in an engineering  exhibit, and evaluate each other’s solutions. Looking for more inspiration?​ You can prompt your students to design something more specific.
