. borders. Over the last year, students in the Department ofCivil and Environmental Engineering at Tufts University have engaged in a number of projectsin communities in Nicaragua and Ghana. This paper describes these projects, in terms of theengineering aspects, but also discusses the value these projects have in the education of theinvolved students. It is concluded that service learning projects, in general, provide a valuablepedagogical tool for educating future engineers.Introduction The mission statement of Tufts University states it will “offer to …students a rigorouseducation …that provides the knowledge and intellectual skills to become responsible andproductive participants and leaders of society; … to enhance learning and develop

This university research project investigated this phenomena and optimized the systemto work effectively to explore the noise cancellation effect.This student noise cancellation project was a success. The equipment managed to mask theunwanted noise in an experimental box. Atmospheric silence is 57.5dB and the lowest noisecancellation level was 64.1dB during the experiment. The result can eliminate noise created bytraffic, but requires improvement to mask human conversation (60dB).IntroductionNoise control adopted passive systems, where the sound was reduced by insulation, padding, andover weighting of physical

” In contrast, case studies have not been so popular in technical subject areas,except as an occasional story told by an instructor. Engineering is often considered astudy of concepts, principles and scientific phenomena. On the surface, this situationappears to demand single path solutions with correct answers. However, Fitzgerald 5 hasdocumented a handful of case develop projects for engineering education. These early adopters of engineering case studies saw the value of fact-drivencases, which have multiple solutions because of insufficient date or emotions areinvolved, and business, ethical or political decisions are at stake. These cases can bringmuch needed realism to the classroom. They provide a context for the application

The effectiveness of the researchcourse is evaluated based upon the actual contributions of each assigned project, thedissemination of the results, and self-assessment of the students on a survey given at theconclusion of the course. This initial attempt at an undergraduate research elective is evaluatedas a partial success based upon the goals and objectives laid out at the beginning of the course.All the students made substantial progress in their research but were not able to fully completetheir projects. The primary reasons for this partial success were the optimistic goals set for theprojects and the competing demands on the students’ time during their final

oftendemotivated and discouraged the overly competitive nature of engineering [13], open-endeddesign tasks could provide welcoming and positive experiences for underrepresented groups.Historical overviewAt our large, southeastern university, we offer a Physics for Engineers course sequence but donot have an introductory, design-focused course. As such, we have historically supplemented ourphysics for engineers courses by integrating team-based design projects and instruction. Tojustify this, the projects have always been closely tied to the course content, which has often ledto relatively closed-ended project contexts. For instance, for many years, the design task in themechanics course was a mousetrap car that had to accomplish some goal that varied from

In Fall 2022, a set ofprojects were developed for a junior level dynamics course. In prior offerings of this course, thetypical dynamics theory was covered and assessed using textbook assigned problems and exams.The developed projects required the students to recollect their knowledge of MATLABprograming from their programming class taught during their first year and apply those skills tosolve systems over a specified time instance. In this paper, the three projects developed arepresented. Subsequently, the assessment of the students’ performance with respect to the desiredlearning outcomes is

This rack willprovide space for students to keep their longboard safe while they are in a building, as well askeep the walls and floors of the building clean from damage.This project has the potential to be extremely useful and valuable to many parties. First off, therack will offer students a place to store their longboards without worrying about their boardsbeing stolen. Second, the longboard rack will keep buildings much cleaner, as the walls inbuildings are scuffed up and damaged from longboards being leaned up against them. With thelongboards out of buildings, maintenance will not have as much to clean, which will be morecost
