Educators were encouraged to ask questions, analyzedata, design solutions, and obtain, evaluate, and communicate information. This structurefacilitated relationships and scientific debates that deepened their understanding of theengineering problem and process. The educators had authentic engineering experience in thecentralized teaching laboratory during morning sessions, followed by afternoon sessionsdedicated to curriculum development. The K-5 educators integrated the engineering design skillsinto classroom applications by creating STEM-inspired curricula, which facilitated technical andPD relationships.The afternoon

, experimentation, modelingIntroductionLaboratory is an essential part of the undergraduate curriculum in every field of engineering [1].Although the number and types of laboratories can vary from discipline to discipline and schoolto school, undergraduate laboratories are very important because they introduce students toimportant engineering equipment and illustrate many of the principles and correlations that arepresented in the classroom. Laboratories also give students a chance to work with their handsand develop important teamwork and leadership skills.

In order to prepare students for more complex tasks required in embedded systemsand teach advanced topics of embedded systems, an Embedded Intelligent System Design course wascreated and initially offered in Fall 2019. Moreover, this course was also offered in Fall 2022 andSpring 2024. This paper introduces the topics of the course and practice session and term projectcontent in this embedded intelligent system design course.

To address this need, we are developing virtual laboratories that providestudents a capstone experience in which they can apply experimental design in a context similarto that of a practicing engineer in industry. In a virtual laboratory, simulations based onmathematical models implemented on a computer are used to replace the physical laboratory.However, as opposed to being constructed as a direct one-to-one replacement, the virtuallaboratory is intended to complement the physical laboratories in the curriculum so that certainspecific elements of the experimental design process are addressed.

First, it is no longerpossible for educators, industrialists and policy makers to pay lip service to the need to educatefor adaptability and flexibility and develop personal transferable skills. The curriculum needs tobe evaluated in these terms. But it cannot be an evaluation that is independent of what happensbefore, and what happens afterwards. Higher education has to be

Recently, authors increasingly argue that teaching an entrepreneurialmindset requires an integrated approach.2,3,4Kettering University has adopted this approach by trying to incorporate entrepreneurial ideasdirectly into existing classes. This can be difficult to accomplish for several reasons. First,engineering professors find it difficult to make room in the course syllabus for an entrepreneurial Page 22.845.2education.
