The major objectives of our project are to design anduse hardware and software based CNC machine control simulator systems to enhance thecognitive learning of
(e.g., reverse osmosis, spray drying, injection molding) toobtain practical experience of atypical chemical engineering unit operations. At the end of thesemester, and after completing the required experiments, students are required to propose a finalexperiment with defined experimental objective(s) and parameters or variables to study. For thepast twenty years, at the authors’ institution, the final experiment has been an open-endedexperience; however, students occasionally struggle to identify and perform a detailed study dueto limited exposure to an experimental research environment and lack of directions. Additionallimitations include costs, laboratory time, and equipment availability.During Fall 2018, the instructors teaching the

statement would suggest that we, as evaluators and educators, wouldneed to change our approach to teaching Engineering Technology in order to gear our programsto that of our customer’s experiences and expectations.But do we need to do this? Although the buzzwords today are on computer simulations, virtualreality, etc., I do not feel that the needs of the “real world” have changed. There is still a need tobe able to have that “hands-on” experience that only an Engineering Technologist has and canbring to the work force.To this end, laboratory experiments should be laid out in such a manner as to duplicate a “realworld” situation. These experiments should be designed so as to build on the previousexperiment, just as classroom lectures build on one

Session 3449 Critical-Thinking Approach to Teaching Mechanical Engineering Jan T. Lugowski Purdue University1. IntroductionCritical thinking, in the context of teaching, means a careful consideration of the material learnedby students in class and outside of it. It is very natural to accept without questioning materialpresented by the teacher, textbook, journals, internet, etc. Several examples are presented thatshow how detrimental this approach is to student’s learning. Questioning, or carefullyconsidering, requires courage, also to admit incompetence

As a part of the process of becoming an interdisciplinary physics and engineeringdepartment, and based on prior success at teaching physics with open-ended projects in theupper-level undergraduate curriculum [1], we are studying how these projects can also be used toteach engineering skills and principles. Of particular interest to us are questions related to i) howbest to use existing assets (e.g. laboratory equipment, faculty expertise) within a physics andengineering department to create a thriving engineering laboratory curriculum, and ii) to

An Applied Approach to Teaching Modern Power Electronics Dr. Raghav Khanna, University of ToledoUniversity level power electronics courses have been offered for a number of years, even prior tothe emergent demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles. However, these courses weretaught in the conventional “textbook” manner, with little to no emphasis on current industrystandards [1]. During the spring semester of 2015, the author taught a modern version of PowerElectronics at Bucknell University, with a particular emphasis on industry standards, and trend-setters in next generation power electronics. The course begins as conventional power electroniccourses do, with an introduction to low voltage
