The student teams were asked toprovide the “top three learning outcomes from the course”:Team
were ableto see the challenges facing engineers in conducting simulation studies.IntroductionModeling and simulation play a crucial role in almost all disciplines in science and technology.In essence, modeling is the practice of developing a simplified representation of a system1.Simulation, on the other hand, is an imitation of the operation of the system over a period oftime2. Although until the 80’s simulation was not popular due to the cost and long processingtime of computing resources, today, simulation is considered an attractive and cost-effectivemethod to perform systems analysis1.Simulation may or may not be an appropriate tool, depending on the situation. For example,simulation is a useful tool to verify analytical solution, study

correlations such as those listed above provide motivation for the development ofinnovative activities that begin to integrate STEM and music for undergraduates. With suchactivities, questions arise about the role(s) that music might play in the achievement andretention of undergraduate STEM students, particularly URM students. It is hypothesized that ifminorities pursuing degrees in STEM participate in music and/or music-related activities, theirsuccess in STEM might increase. This paper describes a pilot program within a College ofEngineering that combines music and engineering, presents future work related to this modelalong with plans for engaging diverse students, and offers suggestions for replicating this modelon other campuses.Literature

the students internalize valuablelessons about the difficulty of finding work/life balance in college. When asked about theschedule in the impact surveys several students indicated lessons learned about balancingacademics, social life, and self such as: .... it was difficult being expected to do homework assignments when the activities ended at about 10 in the evening. Hour breaks were nice but flew by so quickly. Schedule was very packed and busy, good practice.... Food inclusion was a nice habit to adjust to. The long day with math, [Library and IT], writing and another session of math (or physics) was tightly scheduled and tiring. I see it beneficial for students whose schedules could have a day(s
information without visual reinforcement.I would recommend using student projects to develop video content to eventually “flip” a course(or at least move some of the lecture to before the class period). The approach presented here isa work in progress, but the author hopes this information is useful and inspiring for other newengineering educators.References 1. Swartz, Brian.

and only then formatted in terms of requirements and demands beforebeing presented to students in the first week of classes.The academic and pedagogical coordinators defined a set of projects with a view to the course asa whole, and as this was done in a very intuitive way, it was easily assimilated even by thoseteachers with no knowledge of mechatronics. Initially the course was designed in accordancewith the general profile of mechatronic engineers and their work environment as well as theparticularities of the region. On this basis, axes of knowledge were created and the necessaryskills defined, while taking into account the government‟s curricular guidelines.The formal disciplines provided the knowledge base and some practice, but were

grid can beseen in figure 9 below under a microscope. The cells obtain a slight negative charge and willhold inside the gridded pattern within an E-field. The E-field is created by conducting a 90ºpulse from each of the four pads on the device. This E-field is illustrated in figure 10 belowbased on Chengjun Huang’s research, and also cells trapped in the E-field can be seen in figure113. This precise 90º pulse is what allows the trapping of cells to be possible. If rotation occursit can be observed under a microscope. This is called electrorotation. The middle of each gridshould have no charge, but the E-field surrounding the cell(s) should hold them within thecharged electric fields.Figure 9: Empty devise with an empty grid created by the 2

Kingdom recognizes three kinds of engineering competence12 including: Engineering Technician (EngTech); Incorporated Engineer (IEng); and Chartered Engineer (CENG).This program is administered by the United Kingdom’s Engineering Council.In the late 1990’s Great Britain increased the requirements for Chartered Engineer status toinclude “an accredited Bachelors degree with honours in engineering or technology plus either amaster’s degree accredited by a professional engineering institution, or appropriate furtherlearning to the master’s level”. Alternatively a candidate could complete an accreditedintegrated MEng degree. Previously Chartered Engineers were not required to completeadvanced education. Engineers not completing advanced
method, taken from the Russian tool system, not onlyoffers education but attributes as a philosophical key to all industrial education [3]. BothWoodward and Runkle were preparing engineers to enter the occupational demands that needhands on experience combined with intense theory.Charles Richards claimed that America presumes “our place as a nation practically at the time ofthe industrial revolution” [18]. One lacking feature, during this time, is that America had noartistic traditions except for those of other countries and the United States (U.S.) needed todevelop their own artistic tradition. The arts and crafts movement entered the U.S. by Englandin the early 1880’s and demonstrated in the schools of Philadelphia [19]. The arts and
