A discussion followed asserting the potential impacts ofstudent-based design teams on transitioning student-veterans, and the kind of impact this type oforganization and student-veterans could have on the engineering community. Future researchopportunities are then suggested that could help the academic, veteran, and engineeringcommunities better understand the positive effects technical-based student organizations canhave on these communities.

project would train the involved student/s within theMechanical Engineering Technology program on how to save energy consumption, learn how tobuild and collect data, use various instruments such as thermometers, thermocouples, multi-meters, programming and conduct calibration. The students would gain significant knowledge indata analysis and statistics while comparing the results. A successful project would reflect goodunderstanding for students in most core courses required by MET programs such as thermal courses, control, instruments, and statistics. These learning outcomes were compared to theABET outcome rubrics. Purdue Polytechnic has the main campus located in West Lafayette andnine other

In this study, men tended to embrace that competitive componentmore than women. Teams with men might have an advantage on tasks framed as competitionsdue to team state motivation. This finding would have important implications for the design ofproject-based learning tasks.References[1] Elliot, A. J. (2005). A conceptual history of the achievement goal construct.

introduction to the project, often under the guidance ofsomeone with considerable project knowledge.Computer Science (CS) programs have recently experienced a surge in enrollments surpassingthe growth of the late 1990’s [9]. There has also been an increase in the number of non-majorstaking CS courses. Despite there being more students in CS courses, the number of womengraduating from CS programs was still only 15% in 2015 [9]. Since HFOSS projects are builtwith the intention to better the human condition, they often exemplify characteristics thatresearch has shown attracts women to computing such as helping others and working in diversegroups [2, 10]. There is some evidence that working on HFOSS projects is appealing to women[13, 14]. The 2016 Open

Similar studies about cloud-based SRSs have been conducted in thelast ten years, if not earlier. Table 1 summarizes recent studies regarding the implementation ofthe cloud-based SRSs in engineering education. Most of these studies reported on students’perceptions and some faculty reflection and did not have a baseline or a control to compare with.Table 1.

Owing to P5’s experience in electronics, he felt comfortablewith taking on the role of project manner for the first production cycle for year 2. During the firstyear, P5 was quiet and introverted, yet he demonstrated a significant interests towards thetechnology-centered elements of the production process, often partnering with P4 in theseactivities. While P5 was comfortable in technology oriented roles, when tasked to take onproduction management, he was fully engaged in the role for the

showed very positive agreement that the content and skillsfrom the TWC were applied and developed at the internship, and that they were able to return toclassroom with enhanced communication skills and knowledge. Considering these factors, it iseasily concluded that students are making the important connection between their TWC coursematerials and their necessity in the engineering field.Questions 4 and 5’s relatively high scores indicate that students are attributing educational valueto their internship experiences. Students are gaining a motivation for deeper engagement withtheir TWC course as they see a direct application of content in their internships. Moreover,students are gaining a better understanding of the professional skill set of
electricalengineering programs offer concentration in mechatronics. There are several approaches toimplementing these programs and concentrations and because Mechatronics is relatively youngdiscipline, introduced in the 1980’s, there are no established model or best approaches. Thus,mechatronics programs depend on the context and the department where they are hosted. Theauthor’s approach was to evaluate the context and resources available and design a mechatronicsprogram by starting with an appropriate pilot course.!The author, has recently joined the electrical engineering program at Merrimack College, aprimarily undergraduate college in Massachusetts. One of his objectives was to design anappropriate mechatronics program or concentration, and also consider a
