society’s needs; technologies are the result of engineered designs created tosolve societal needs and wants4 These common threads can be strengthened when educationalsolutions and opportunities for engagement are consistently, creatively, and thoughtfully applied.In8, the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) Program at Purdue University wascreated to provide undergraduates with a real design experience within a service-learningcontext. EPICS teams perform their designs within four main areas of focus: 1.) Education andOutreach, 2.) Access and Abilities, 3.) Human Services, and 4.) Environment. Included withinthe realm of Education and Outreach is a concerted effort to focus on the integration ofengineering within the P/K-12 community

The mainlearning categories include Think (reading, discussing, listening), Practice (algorithmdevelopment, algorithmic puzzles), Interpret (case studies, analyzing algorithms), Apply (open-ended problems, project-based learning), Evaluate (solution testing, peer evaluation), and Create(presentation, documenting, product development) [2]. For example, well-timed support could beincorporated in a “practice” activity such as algorithm development. Additionally, feedbackcould be applied to an “evaluate” activity such as solution testing.

. This peer mentorship requirement was added to theupper-level Control Systems course, making up 3% of the grade for the course. This course waschosen because it is required for most engineering majors at Anderson University. Peermentorship training and expectations were provided as part of the Control Systems course.Individual peer mentors were assigned to first-year engineering project groups completing aproject in their Intro to Engineering course. This course has no TA support, making it a goodchoice for leveraging student peer mentors. The groups each consisted of four students whowere tasked with designing, constructing, and documenting mini-golf holes for a campus event[2,16].

notoriouslydifficult for the students to understand [1]. Some students will be able to perform the analysisand manipulate the equations describing the geometry concepts by applying general algorithmicsolutions without the ability to visualize them. They are struggling to understand how geometricequations are represented within a physical space and this becomes even more difficult when westart to consider them in 3D. More advanced operations such as projections, dot and crossproducts may also be quite difficult to visualize, plot and predict. This ability to model complexsystems using an FBD (Free Body Diagram) and system of equations is the enabling skillset forsuccessful mastery of fundamental mechanics courses.

One significant observation was the difference in the level ofstudents’ exposure to robotics, which ranged from basic introduction to robotics to moreadvanced levels, wherein the school students have worked with some advanced kits and havetaken part in competitions. This range of exposure showed that a wide gap exists among the areahigh school students which needed to be addressed. One of the ideas put forth was to design a hands-on project for the school students whichwill enable them to learn and program a scaled-down robot incorporating different features.

Teamwork can bedaunting for a student with ASD in terms of the social aspects and the organization of a largeassignment with multiple due dates. However, many ASD students are visual learners and dowell with “hands-on” projects, and may just need assistance keeping track of assignments.Faculty members should have direct communication with the students and provideaccommodations with guided group work, a consistent format for assignments, breakingprojects in to smaller assignments, and making slides/lectures available before class.Currently, a freshman engineering class has implemented these adjustments andaccommodations.

Craemer [1] identified Introduction toEngineering as a pivotal course in the curriculum at Dartmouth for generating interest amongstudents, especially those who identify as women.Building on the study by Craemer [1], faculty teaching Introduction to Engineering haveadministered pre- and post-course surveys to further assess students’ interests and self-efficacyrelated to engineering, among all students but among those who identify as women in particular.Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s belief that they can do certain things [2], in this case thebelief that they can succeed in engineering. Results of these surveys as well as a description ofthe course and of the projects and problems addressed by student groups are

Alongside moretraditional chemistry exams, students complete a set of smaller individual projects and asemester-long team-based design challenge. In the design challenge they use the design processto develop a solution to an environmental or health issue of their choosing. While completing theindividual projects, students apply their chemistry knowledge to engineering situations. The teamdesign challenge incorporates the same engineering design process as used in the first yearengineering design course, which many students take concurrently. Prior to

IoT CourseAbstractThis work-in-progress paper discusses the laboratory setup and delivery of a pilot course on thefundamentals of Internet of Things (IoT). Hands-on laboratory experiments and project-basedexperiences are adopted to introduce and reinforce IoT-related concepts. The laboratoryexperiments introduce the students to (a) the collection of data using temperature and motionsensors (b) program the microcontroller, and (c) to communicate between WiFi-enabledmodules. Rather than using the hardware and software tools from an established vendor in theareas of IoT, we chose to design and assemble our laboratory experiments and projects withsimple, cost-effective, off-the-shelf components. The project activities focused on system designand
took ME 100L prior to the redesign and many students who took ME 100L afterthe redesign. This presented a unique opportunity to examine the long-term impact of theredesign on student performance in subsequent courses, where some of the skills they acquired inME 100L can be utilized. Surveys were administered to students in select junior- and senior-level courses to determine whether students who took the redesigned ME 100L transferred theirskills to other courses. For example, prior to the redesign students typically learned aboutmicrocontrollers for the first time in their senior year. However, there are ample opportunities forstudents to utilize microcontrollers in class projects in their junior-level courses as well. Theauthors also compare
