://www.pblprojects.org.Knowledge, Skills and AttitudesThe knowledge, skills and attitudes that students bring to learning situations are important factorsrelated to successful learning outcomes. According to Bransford23 et al, the prior knowledge andunderstanding students bring with them into new learning situations impacts their ability to buildupon and integrate new knowledge with their prior knowledge and understanding. Beforelearning can occur, students’ prior knowledge must first be brought to the surface so that currentunderstanding can be examined, and misconceptions corrected in order to create a solidfoundation upon which new knowledge can be built. Second, for students to develop competencein an area of inquiry, they must develop a deep and retrievable base of

Analysis to Mechanical Engineering StudentsAbstractFor many years in the mechanical engineering curriculum, the topics of electric circuit design,mechatronics and instrumentation have all been taught as separate courses. However, thesetopics are all fundamentally related through the manipulation of electrical energy to producesome desired result, whether it be to turn on a light, drive an electric motor, or measure the stressin a beam. In an effort to more explicitly demonstrate how these subjects are related, a set ofthree courses, meant to be taken concurrently, was developed to integrate these topics. Twolecture based courses, one covering mechatronics and one covering instrumentation andexperimental design, as well as a laboratory course that

The system setup had shown that it is able to sample up to 32 channels with the maximumsampling rate of 1 MS/s. We also found that all unused channels should be grounded to prevent“cross talk.” These are board specific issues and this particular NI board would performoptimally if 32 channels were used as 16 differential channels. For the CGAPL experiments,when they do not deal with short-lived plasmas, even 16 differential channels are more thanenough for what they need in their experiments.Capstone Contributions to EE Curriculum The end result of the project will help Electrical Engineering to develop a system thatwill become a vital building

Students generally respond very positively to the use of the guitar as asource of electrical signals because it is something they already know about, and they canphysically see the creation of the signals when the guitar is plucked. Used as an experimentalplatform, a guitar provides sound, touch, and sight sensory input to students. Coupled with a dataacquisition board, the electric guitar provides the source of a complex signal that might beanalyzed in the time domain or in

Developing the art of critical thinking in students is a persistenteffort in an engineering curriculum. Students are encouraged to exercise this by identifying theproblem, making accurate and reliable judgments, and implementing logical and dependablesolutions to real-world problems. Issa et al. studied a significant difference in student learningbetween conventional and project-based learning strategies [5]. Students understand the needs of their community through PBSL.
