Many electrical engineering and marine sciencestudents take the course as an elective. The need for a lab, along with the complexities ofincorporating one into already crowded student schedules, was recently addressed in a localprogram review. The issue of balancing thermodynamic instruction and student course load isnot unique to this institution [1]. To account for the lack of lab time, the authors, who were newto teaching this course at this institution, endeavored to introduce hands on demonstrationsduring typical lectures. This resulted in the design, construction, and use of three stand alonedemonstration units. The devices

At this meeting theCOSINE Committee (originally called the Committee on Computer Sciences in ElectricalEngineering) was formed. Its main purposes were to assist electrical engineering departments indeveloping computer engineering and to reorient traditional courses to use digital computers.The committee published a series of reports on undergraduate courses and laboratory equipmentbefore dissolving in 1972 [13].IV. The Seventies Electrical engineering departments thus entered the 1970's aware of the need for computerengineering education--just in time to deal with microprocessors. By 1971

Another challenge is setting the scope of work and level of difficulty to be appropriatefor ET seniors. Successful project management among the team members and their relationshipto the faculty and external sponsors requires an array of communication and soft skills.Resources must be factored into the planning process: e.g. fabrication capabilities, technicalsupport and/or the cost of purchased components/services.

In a nutshell, a course evaluation iscomposed of various metrics measured by the two different class participants, theinstructor and the students. Student input is explained in Section 4. All assessmentmetrics done by the instructor use traditional student work, such as homeworks,laboratories, quizzes, laboratories, projects, and exams (from now on denoted as“assignments”). This section, however, details a modified way to use assignment gradesto better measure each course objective. As the grade of an assignment may not entirelyreflect the various course learning objectives addressed in the assignment, all workrequired from the student is directly matched to a course learning objective

Therefore, multiple newmachines including a Mendelmax and Prusa Mendel were built to utilize in the class. Since theSLA Viper machine was replaced with a Projet 1200, the old but comprehensive software tool of3D Lightyear had to be replaced with new tools used for both processing of the STL files andprinting.
