Group BIn the Fall 2012 semester of Engineering Statics several teaching methodologies andprograms were used to help students in Group B understand and embody the type oflogical thinking, analysis, and self-learning that is required in the field of engineering.Student growth and confidence, during this course in particular, often is the factor thatdetermines if a student will be successful in engineering and if they will continue inengineering. The goals of the course in this area are that after taking this course thestudents would develop:i. Self-confidence in their ability to solve problems and more natural problem-solving skills,ii.

, a proposal was submitted in2013 to the Kansas Soybean Commission called “Beyond the Book: Active Learning throughBiodiesel (#ALT-B)” to develop a freshman course which would include a laboratory componentcentered around the production of biodiesel. Students would be exposed to all of the processesand chemical engineering concepts related to biodiesel production including reactions,separations, fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, process control, thermodynamics, and materialand energy balances. The goal was to introduce students to the fundamental concepts at a highlevel while providing an opportunity to see how the concepts are integrated while exploring in ahands-on laboratory. The production of biodiesel was selected because the

Howeverfundamental it may be to engineering students, SHM is one of the more demanding topics andoften misunderstood. Researchers found that passive instruction by talented teachers imparted littleconceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics [1]. Good physical insight can lead to a deeperunderstanding of displacement and oscillation, which is a pervasive phenomenon in STEM. Eachcourse module has two parts: a) three virtual lecture classes with PowerPoint presentation ontrigonometry, wave motion and MATLAB coding and b) a hands-on lab exercise using a mass-spring system and the phone app

It highlights the importance of the parameter D and its use in electronic biasingcircuits and design. D is a constant for the particular transistor. For modern npn transistors, D is in the range 100to 200, but it can be as high as 10003. The meter provides a quick and direct measure of values of B at differentconditions. It helps in developing confidence when using a curve tracer and using the BJT’s characteristics tofind B, Therefore, it maybe a very valuable device for basic electronic design laboratories and manufacturers.It is extendable, easy to use and may use other microprocessors with minor modifications of the circuitry

. IntroductionThe School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) at the University ofWashington Bothell has experienced rapid growth in both number of students as well as numberof degrees offered (currently fifteen degrees and five minors) since its inception in 2013. Themechanical engineering program is three years old and recently received ABET accreditation(September 2017). Within the University of Washington system, students declare themechanical engineering major at the end of the sophomore year. At many schools, materialsscience and engineering is a stand-alone or two-course sequence that commonly utilize textbooksby Callister1, Shakleford2, or Askeland3.
