Soft robots can be made from common, low-cost materials [4]. Thenascent field allows for novel contributions from young students. The field is highlyinterdisciplinary, drawing on traditional mechanical and electrical principles to use new materialsfor human-centered, biomedical applications [5].

WorkThe initial work involved determining the features to be developed and included in the finaldesign. The measurement capabilities of Distortion Analyzer, Agilent 35670A, were studied andconsidered for inclusion in the LabVIEW-based design. Some of the capabilities were providedby National Instruments in the Advanced Harmonic Signal Analyzer demonstration program.The features of the Agilent equipment and the demonstration program are included in Table 1below along with a plan for including selected features.Added FeaturesWithin the time period available for this project only few of the features (mentioned asDEVELOPED in Table.1) could be added.

overall communication costs. 2Students are introduced, through a series of laboratory projects, to the development tools anddesign paradigms required to build, deploy, and manage embedded Linux-based IoT Edge Deviceproducts. Students create their own custom Linux image for the laboratory development system,learn how-to configure system services, and build device drivers to interface with sensorhardware. Once students have a functioning system, they learn about common IoT networkprotocols, such as MQTT, WebSockets, and HTTP, looking at both the on-the-wire packet formatsand how to build applications using these protocols. By the end of the course, they will have builta working IoT Edge Device from end-to-end.Laboratory StationsThe laboratory was

UAV education [Sadraey2020]. Sadraey outlines techniques and challenges he discovered while presenting constructiontechniques of UAVs in a traditional classroom setting. Here he states that, “The root cause forthe lack of convergence between UAV education and practical application is the absence ofexperiential learning. The UAV experience requires students to develop skills such as … in datareduction, analysis, communication, and teamwork.”This paper presents the first phase of our experience with a two-phase project addressing theteaching, implementation, and assessment of online active learning modules in undergraduateintroduction to engineering and physics courses designed to engross students in the process ofadvanced manufacturing

leaders think through the tradeoffsassociated with selecting different structures for their international collaborations.BackgroundThe National Science Foundation’s International Research Experiences for Students (IRES)program supports international research experiences for U.S. undergraduate and graduateengineering students. IRES programs seek to develop globally connected future researcherswhile also facilitating broader long-term collaborations between U.S.-based and internationalresearch groups. Faculty and student exchanges are expected to result in international linkagesbetween the researchers that bring new insights and methods to U.S.-based research projects,leading to transformative research. Faculty members who are awarded IRES grants
students in interdisciplinary research, help them develop a globalperspective on collaboration, and motivate them to pursue a career in STEM research. Over thelifetime of this 3-year project (2019-2021), the participating institutions will have a cohort of 5students every year for a total of 15.The unifying research theme of IRiKA is smart systems with the subtopics of sensors, emergingelectronics, and materials & process development. The theme leverages previous, ongoing, andnew collaborations between the three US-based lead investigators and the Korean partnerinstitutions. In addition to lab work and weekly cohort meetings to discuss progress, IRiKAstudents have the opportunity to visit Korea's government research institutions and global
by AI by studying software agents, problem solving bysearching, various ways to represent knowledge, and methods of learning. Additionally, thiscourse will discuss both the ethics and risks associated with the fields of AI. Topics coveredduring the course fall into 4 major categories: (1) Knowledge, Reasoning, Planning, andUncertain Knowledge, (2) Learning and Philosophical Foundations, (3) Communicating,Perceiving, and Acting, and (4) Ethics and Risks. Previously, the authors have used the “flipped”classroom concept in courses. The flipped classroom, when mastered and done well, has beendemonstrated to be beneficial to the students’ ability to learn material [1]. One of the goals forthis project is for students to help create a repository
a printed circuit board, assembling andtesting by hand, modeling and 3D printing the enclosure and programming the firmware.Course time is divided into four periods, at-home, in-lecture, in-lab and external to the course. Athome, students are given links to tutorial videos designed specifically for the course. These areintended to replace traditional lecture material. They also brainstorm product ideas to pursue as aclass project and when their startup prototype is completed, a marketing video is created toshowcase their company. Lecture periods are designed to be interactive and students worktogether to complete various group technical challenges. This time is also used for presentingprogress on their startup project.

Despite the relatively uncontested importance ofundergraduate research experience on engineering student success, little discussion has focused onhow to integrate students into unfamiliar research settings. To shed light on effective mentorshippractices, we report cases based on the experiences of the first three authors, who participated inundergraduate research and share insights from the fourth author, who directs an undergraduateresearch program. We share characteristics of mentorship that maximize student success. Results and DiscussionCase 1. MWF worked in a laboratory that focused on nanoparticle synthesis for medicalapplications.

Center School of Public Health, found that call centeremployees with sit-stand desks were almost 50% more productive than their colleagues who sat inthe office. This correlates with our project due to our innovation of creating a smart desk withfunctionalities that were obtained from a survey our group conducted prior to developing the desk.Through this project, we are improving the workspace by creating an augmented desk along withmany other features. We believe that with this product we can provide relief, comfort, and simplicityback to the common desk-user. IntroductionThe Vault - Smart Desk was conceptualized by one of our team members who saw the need for cost-efficient and more technical smart

We designed our course to cover the Ohio Department of Education’s Physicsstandards and created an interactive, project-based learning course to enable students to experienceand master the use of physics in everyday life. Learning was assessed by a pre/post evaluation ofcontent knowledge, testing on topics, daily assignments, and a final presentation on “applicationof physics in real life.”Community Partnerships Local companies have also expressed the dearth of professionals in STEM fields and seekto diversify their workforce [9, 10].
