Elmer and Noelle Comolli Villanova University, 217 White Hall, 800 East Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, PA 19085Abstract Student learning and retention of material can be significantly enhanced by assigninggroup projects that challenge students to apply concepts covered in class. However, a keychallenge in many engineering courses is developing projects that effectively relate the multitudeof distinctly different concepts taught throughout the semester. For example, most heat transfercourses cover several different modes of heat transfer, including conduction

parameters.9. GEOMETRICAL COMPARISON BY 3D SCANNINGTo compare our formed model to our analytical model, a 3D scan was completed of each parameter set part andcompared to the Solidworks model. The scans are shown in Fig. 9. Both scans showed an approximate depth of23 mm. Due to the large size of the sheet holder frame, there were a large amount of springbacks on the flat partof the sheets. The springback can be compensated in the program or can be minimized by using a smaller framesize or supporting the back of the sheet metal by partial molds or another robot.Figure 9.a : Depth value (Z) achieved (in mm) using set#1 parametersFigure 9.b: Depth value (Z) achieved (in mm) using set#2 parameters10.

For ABET, it will be shown how these projects can be used to assess student outcomes.IntroductionIn engineering and engineering technology programs, there are a variety of programming andembedded systems courses. C/C++ programming is often used as a primary component to thesecourses. Examples of devices used within embedded hardware and software courses include theProgrammable System-on-Chip (PSoC 5LP) and the BeagleBone Black (BBB) [1-3].Alternatively, MicroPython is a subset of the Python standard library, and it is optimized to run on avariety of microcontrollers for embedded applications [4]. One such device is the Raspberry Pi Pico[5]. The Pi Pico is an inexpensive embedded processor board that can be used in a variety
]. Despite the importance of standards toengineering practice, standards often receive only cursory coverage in engineering curriculum. Asurvey of engineering industry representatives showed that 73% of those surveyed felt that recentengineering graduates lacked knowledge of engineering codes and standards [3].In recent years, there have been several efforts to increase engineering students’ competencywith standards. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has the StandardsServices Curricula Development Cooperative Agreement Program, which provides funds forinstitutions to develop innovative materials and methods to incorporate standards into theircurricula. Examples of past projects include Green Buildings and Sustainable

It is inextricablyintertwined with students’ motivation, and those two constructs have a strong impact onstudent’s meaningful learning experience, academic achievement, and knowledge development[3].

lost sight of the pressures on junior faculty;when a student is allowed to fail a project because the scaffolding of intermediate deadlines isnot done for them, they hold the faculty responsible and not themselves. The negativerepercussions on faculty evaluations if students are allowed to fail is disproportionately large forjunior faculty members, and the very tasks that Weimer resists become essential tools to supportstudent perceptions of success. Attendance is required (or graded) because the assumption is thatit positively affects learning and motivation; larger assignments are submitted in installmentsbecause students procrastinate and do not reserve enough time at the end of the project toadequately complete it. Faculty rely on the

Major aerospace engineering companies (e.g., Boeing) published listsof desired attributes, and leaders of industry urged a new look at the way students were being educated. Thetraditional engineering education is structured to emphasize mathematics, physical, sciences, andengineering sciences. This paper presents the systems engineering approach in UAV design education. Theapproach opens a new horizon to aerospace engineering students and excites them to embrace the newchallenges [2]. Throughout this approach, various techniques for generating creative design alternatives areintroduced. The nature of UAV design project; complexity, multidisciplinary, and various constraints;suggest that the systems engineering
