environments actually helpingstudents to learn and to build confidence and motivation toward engineering design? Towardanswering this question, the juxtaposition of qualitative and quantitative research methods usedherein allows us to investigate the impact that these spaces are having on student motivation andconfidence in engineering design [8]. This paper presents results from mixed-methods researchconsisting of a longitudinal quantitative study and a qualitative interview study focused onunderstanding the factors leading toward student involvement in makerspaces.BackgroundThe longitudinal study presented in this paper consists of a survey that gathers information fromstudents on their involvement in the makerspace, self-efficacy for conducting
programming.The disruptive technologies are expected to be used and advanced in the progress of producingnew technologies. The recent development in transportation, such as autonomous and energy-efficient vehicles, defines a condition for the students in transportation engineering. So, studentsin the field of transportation engineering should be ready upon their graduation with newknowledge and skills that are compatible with the need of the industry. (Tang et. al, 2018; Li &Faghri, 2016).Undergraduate student research is found to be useful when the research question or problem isembedded in the real-life context. Research activities for students to promote knowledgeacquisition and developing critical skills can be practiced via different forms of

The biomedical devices included astethoscope, adult weighing scale, thermometer, infant weighing scale, pulse monitor,spirometer, and blood pressure measuring device. Student teams with six members used finiteelement analysis and rigorous design methodologies to design the devices. They constructed andtested the prototypes and the students

These facilities allowfor plenty of hands-on experience and bring together diverse groups of people, promoting studentinteraction and the exchange of ideas, where the benefits of physical modeling and communitiesof practice are well-documented [6].The literature addressing the impact of makerspaces on engineering students continues to growand is an active area of research.

This practice can be incorporated at any institution for ease of operation andto ensure that any mishaps are quickly contained and addressed.Another recommendation that the program is beginning to implement is to standardize the sUASfleet across the institution to the extent possible. While there are many different sUAS systems,the users found that 2-3 multi-copters and 1-2 fixed-wing platforms could perform most of therequired testing and research. Standardizing the fleet simplifies purchases, training, and thesustainment of these systems.Each institution will have to weigh the cybersecurity risks outlined above when developing aplan to address them.

As part of their final report, teams were asked asked to answer six questions to capturetheir thoughts on the feedback workshop:1) What was the impact of the feedback workshop on your team’s final design?2) Was the feedback workshop helpful for your team’s feedback/design process? How?3) Was continuing to include feedback in your teamwork throughout the project helpful? Why or why not?4) What is one feedback area/skill you developed as a result of the feedback workshop?

impacting work ethic and motivation. These must be emphasized to improve the odds of success. o An early orientation dinner should be scheduled for all students in the college/institute from different programs to get folks together and begin the process of building community. o Contact with graduate students and other researchers must be encouraged and expected. Students learn much from interacting with non faculty research personnel. o Arranged housing with students housed together is important. Students are unfamiliar with campus and have no community to move to unless this is created in advance. o If there is not community of similar students on campus, students will likely have a more difficult time.

One clear goal for the sponsor is to identify future employees for the company, andthere’s no better means to evaluate a potential employee than to observe a student’s performancein a semester long project. Individual and team relationships are developed between the studentand company sponsor, which in many cases results in full-time employment opportunities uponthe student’s graduation. Finally, the sponsor has a sizable resource of 50 to 60 senior-levelengineering students to perform a study where large sample sizes are necessary in obtainingcredible

While makerspaces have excited considerable interest, much of the research onmakerspace impacts and practices have focused on K-12 and informal educational settings. Littleis known about how a well-designed makerspace-based engineering course can contribute tofirst-year students’ persistence in engineering.The platform for this study is an introductory engineering makerspace course at a Southeastern,public university. The course’s objective is to facilitate the application and integration offundamental engineering skills. Six course features were identified by course instructors aspotential pedagogical features that can activate students’ situational interest: technical
