in the electrical and computer engineering majors.We plan to track the 24 students from the studio style course and the 46 students from thetraditional style course from this study over the next two years to see if there is indeed adifference in retention among the two cohorts. If there is an improvement, we will recommendthat the department convert all of its intro circuits courses over to the studio style format.References[1] Ferri, B., Majerich, D., Parrish, N. and Ferri, A.

The Select byCurvature command was employed to relax the structure while retaining detail. A NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) surface was created to finalize the mesh structure and export it as an.stl file. Once the 3D mesh is generated, the number of triangles comprising the mesh must bereduced in order to lower computing lag. MeshLab software was utilized to reduce the number oftriangles below 8,000.

The ​objective​ isthat each student will learn: “about a) working in teams, to b) build things, that c) collaboratewith people in ways that matter.” The anticipated ​outcome​ is the student’s increased ability toidentify their own strengths (and weaknesses) in working and communicating alongside peoplein other fields than their own.

: A Case StudyThe context of this case study is the development of a technology-focused, transdisciplinaryprogram at a large research-intensive Midwestern university. This program is part of a largerinitiative supported by the university to experiment with new educational approaches. The visionfor this initiative was to prepare students to succeed across their future career—which mayinclude jobs that do not exist today. A group of interested faculty fellows were charged withinvestigating new educational approaches that met the values of: (a) viewing the student as awhole person; (b) welcoming diversity and access for all; (c) student autonomy; (d) risk-takingas an important component to learning; and (e) openness fostered through sharing
