Christopher Greer; Devon Eichfeld; Sara Sattarzadeh; Siu Ling Leung – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
When engineering students are unable to evaluate the validity of their solutions, they are unprepared to solve complex, real-world engineering problems that require decomposition or knowledge transfer. A proper framework is key to successful implementation and can encourage more institutions to adopt problem-solving engineering labs. This paper…

Michael C. Melville; Chad Hershock; B. Reeja-Jayan – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
Due to limited laboratory facilities and other constraints, many engineering students may not have the opportunity to engage with practical, hands-on learning experiences. Although some research suggests that game-based learning can provide students with these pedagogical benefits, much of that work does not directly assess the impact of such…

Jacob C. Crislip; Esai Lopez; Cameron D. Armstrong; Taylor Petell; Laila Abu-Lail; Andrew R. Teixeira – Advances in Engineering Education, 2023
A chemical engineering student's knowledge of theory, experimental design, and real-world processes is tested and enforced in the Unit Operations laboratory courses. However, instructors are facing challenges of delivering high-quality, hands-on laboratory content with limited resources and increasingly large class sizes. Limited in-lab time is…

Reck, Rebecca M.; Sreenivas, R. S.; Loui, Michael C. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2019
Laboratory kits allow students to take home laboratory equipment to complete experiments on their own time. Because of the lower cost, laboratory kits expand access to hands-on experiences for online courses and to budget-strapped campuses. Although students like laboratory kits, no previous studies compared student learning objectives on…

Leung, Siu Ling; Hargrove, Brianne A.; Marsh, Eric R.; Gregg, Andrea R.; Thole, Karen A. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
Today's engineering laboratory education often lacks opportunities for students to practice critical thinking through real-world problems. This particular objective is even harder to achieve through online laboratory experiments. In this article, we summarize our innovation in using a real-world challenge, analyze big data, to empower student data…

Cook, Jacob; Ekstedt, Thomas; Self, Brian; Koretsky, Milo – Advances in Engineering Education, 2022
Based on the pedagogical principle of cognitive conflict, Inquiry-Based Laboratory Activities (IBLAs) have been shown to improve conceptual understanding of challenging science and engineering topics. Yet, providing students physical apparatuses to complete an IBLA is not tenable in every instructional setting. This paper reports design,…

Ford, Matthew J.; Fatehiboroujeni, Soheil; Fisher, Elizabeth M.; Ritz, Hadas – Advances in Engineering Education, 2023
Under the new ABET accreditation framework, students are expected to demonstrate "an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions." Traditional, recipe-based labs provide few opportunities for students to engage in realistic experimental design or…

Mahmud, Apel – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
This paper discusses the experience of online studio activities for a second year project project-oriented design-based learning (PODBL) unit. The experience of delivering campus-based studio activities through an online platform, to a design a small power system, is shared due to COVID-19 restrictions. The student experience is benchmarked with…

Grohman, Magdalena G.; Gans, Nicholas; Lee, Eun Ah; Tacca, Marco; Brown, Matthew J. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
Engineering ethics education typically focuses on decisions by individual engineers and case studies of disasters. This does not reflect the everyday decisions that practicing engineers must make, and neglects the fact that most engineers work on teams rather than alone. The focus on safety and disaster prevention leaves little time for discussing…

Clark, William W.; Besterfield-Sacre, Mary – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
This paper reflects on the process followed in the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh to cultivate an innovative and entrepreneurial culture among students and faculty. As a member of the first cohort of the Pathways program, a strategic process was initiated to unlock the innovation capabilities of students and to feed…

Yang, Shuo; Paul, Shubhra Deb; Bhunia, Swarup – Advances in Engineering Education, 2021
Hardware security is one of the most researched areas in the field of security. It focuses on discovering and understanding attacks and countermeasures for electronic hardware that provides the "root-of-trust" for modern computing systems upon which the software stack is built. The increasing reliance on electronic devices in our…

McPheron, Benjamin D.; Thangaraj, Charles V.; Thomas, Charles R. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2017
Laboratory courses can be difficult to fit into an engineering program at a liberal arts-focused university, which requires students to be exposed to appropriate breadth, as well as sufficient depth in their engineering education. One possible solution to this issue is to integrate laboratory exercises with lecture in a "studio" format,…

Secules, Stephen; Lawson, Wesley – Advances in Engineering Education, 2019
This paper compares an innovative approach to teaching a required introductory C programming course to a traditional C programming course for electrical engineering (EE) students. The novel course utilizes hardware-based projects to motivate students to master language syntax and implement key programming concepts and best practices. In a mixed…

Ferri, Bonni H.; Ferri, Aldo A.; Majerich, David M.; Madden, Amanda G. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2016
This paper examines the effects of hands-on learning in an undergraduate circuits class that is taught to non-majors; i.e., students outside of electrical and computing engineering. The course, ECE3710, is taught in a blended format facilitated by the video lectures prepared for two Massive Open Online Courses developed for the Coursera Platform.…
