However, ENGR 110 teaches programming basics in Python, whereas theENGR 111 instruction utilizes Arduino microcontrollers for its programming curriculum. Theprogramming instruction in ENGR 111 also forgoes standalone programming assignments forscaffolded modules that prepare students for an end-of-semester Cornerstone Project.Accordingly, students gain exposure to varying programming languages, and a wide introductionto software design concepts that help prepare them for the remainder of their academic andprofessional careers.In this paper, two semesters of ENGR 111 with two different

Most instructors divide the topics into twomain groups; DC circuit analysis and AC circuit analysis, as the analysis methods covered in DCanalysis are typically the same methods covered in AC analysis. Also, the tools available to thestudents at the Laboratories, or available for the students to download and install into their owncomputers, are Multisim and MATLAB, and on some occasion projects (“Mini Labs”) are assignedwhere the students need to build circuits and take measurements using the Analog Discoveryinstrument form Diligent, to measure the natural response of RC circuits, for example.The electric circuits course has been deemed one of the courses that cause a high attrition rate atmany

In all of his research, the goal is two-fold: (1) exploring fundamental cognitive processes related to learning to add to our theoretical understanding, and (2), where appropriate, applying this knowledge to improve education. An assumption underlying his research approach is that current educational issues provide investigators with some of the most compelling research topics and that rigorous empirical work aids us in making the education process more successful.

Outside of theimprovements in future engineering courses, the use of PjBL has shown to better preparestudents for the workforce and the challenges they may face. However, one concern ofimplementation of PjBL is that it may overwhelm a student especially when conducted in lowerlevel courses. In some cases, schools of higher education may choose to teach lower levelcourses following the conventional lecture format and allow students to participate incompetition teams as an extra-curricular activity.Numerous engineering programs across the world participate in competition programs, such asBaja SAE (Society

Fall 211 5 2023 Spring 156 5Course Goals and StructureThe course goals are for students to learn: (1) to analyze data in the context of engineeringproblems, (2) programming using MATLAB, (3) to work effectively in teams, (4) to prototypeusing hand tools, basic CAD, and 3D printing, and (5) to articulate differences and overlapsbetween engineering disciplines and practices. These course goals are stated on the syllabus.Students in ENGR 130 meet in two 75-minute laboratory sessions and a single, combined 75-minute lecture per week. In the lab, students complete two-week modules that combineMATLAB programming and hands-on design projects, working in teams of three or

The pilottest showed students may be able to complete a relatively complicated task with ROSbackground. The pilot test also showed that a well-designed laboratory series is needed to boostthe success rate of students. Thus, with further training, students can use the platform forindependent projects (senior design, master’s project, etc.). Using this platform with improvedtraining and exercising session, students will gain hands-on experience in implementing allcomponents of robot autonomous navigation and overcoming the steep learning curve of ROS.Bibliography[1] M.
