TIES (Teach, Inspire, Engage, and Stimulate) to STEM1. IntroductionThe critical entry-level engineering course, titled First-Year Seminar in Engineering, isdesigned to orient the incoming student to the university and to introduce engineering as aprofessional field1. To form TIES (Teach, Inspire, Engage, and Stimulate) to STEM, thecourse must comprise hands-on problem-based2 and project-based3 engineering laboratoryactivities. This paper identifies structured laboratory activities in the field of electrical andcomputer engineering (ECE) with aspects which demonstrate TIES to STEM. The studentsare expected to engage in laboratory activities lasting approximately fifty-five minutes.During this short time interval, the

with colleagues, the most commonly cited concern hasbeen that time devoted to active and cooperative learning will reduce the amount of material thatcan be covered in class. Since this type of introductory course typically has a large number oftopics that need to be covered, it can be difficult to see how “additional” activities can beincorporated. However, it has not been our experience that this concern is a significant issue.The time required for the activities was balanced by increased comprehension, less time neededfor repetition of ideas, better attentiveness during lecture periods, and an increase in preparationrequirements for students before lectures.This paper discusses a project which developed and implemented a series of active

The Vex system allows for rapid prototyping andtesting of ideas as the students work up possible design approaches.The paper examines the students’ perception of the design process as both an abstractconcept and as a tool to

One of the criteria under that outcome is “shareresponsibilities and duties”. If a team of students works together all term on a project, you cantell by the content of the report that the team must have shared responsibilities in order toaccomplish the work. However, the report itself is not explicit evidence that the team membersshared responsibilities and duties. Therefore, that submission of the report by the students wouldfail because the report itself was not direct evidence of sharing responsibilities and duties.The faculty discussed two options to make the data better reflect

However, at least two facets of our course are unique. First, we chose to use the newLEGO MINDSTORMS NXT system, the newest generation of LEGO robotics. Second, GeorgiaTech faculty members received significant help in developing this course from engineers whohelped to design the NXT kit and its LabVIEW-based graphical programming environment. Page

In a previous paper, we described our approach of using the engineering designprocess to determine the best solution to the problem of providing students with a multi-disciplinary educational experience in engineering at Montana State University.1In order to determine if our new course improves student performance in this area, wedeveloped a rubric for evaluating an individual’s
