Nazi Homayounnasab; Peter Adam Hoeher; Sandra Hansen – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2024
This paper deals with an integration of STEM education and project-based learning (PBL) by introducing a hybrid hardware/software-based learning platform covering eight learning units. PBL not only bridges the gap between theory and practice, but also focuses on improving students' soft skills, which is important as they prepare for further…

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…

Fujita, Goro; Rizqiawan, Arwindra – Online Submission, 2017
For an electrical engineer, training of power system configuration and operation is an essential problem. This paper proposes new training device which consists of separated circuit blocks (module). For example, induction generator, inverter, capacitor, measurement, are used. The trainee selects and assembles them to build a circuit then easy to…

Smith, Wendy; Smith, Brian C. – Science and Children, 2016
The Maker Movement allows students to strengthen humanistic values through projects and experiences that require the use of their heads, hearts, and hands. Students are introduced to creative technologies that bridge the digital and physical worlds. Through whimsical projects, students take an interest in the concepts and ideas that might normally…

Morrison, Scott; Sebens, Aaron – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2016
Aaron Sebens and his fourth grade students received this congratulatory tweet from the White House as a response to the solar-powered classroom that they created in 10 weeks. The process--defining the goals, raising funds, construction, and implementation--involved many subject areas: reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. This…

Applebaum, Lauren R.; Vitale, Jonathan M.; Gerard, Elizabeth; Linn, Marcia C. – Educational Technology & Society, 2017
Physical design projects are a way to motivate and engage students in authentic science and engineering practices. Web-based tools can support design projects to ensure that students address and reflect upon critical science concepts during the course of the project. In addition, by specifying challenging design goals that require students to…

Dugdale, Pam – School Science Review, 2014
Electricity from osmotic pressure might seem a far-fetched idea but this article describes a prototype in Norway where the osmotic pressure generated between salt and fresh water drives a turbine. This idea was applied in a student investigation, where they were tasked with researching which alternative materials could be used for the…

Wheeler, Lindsay B.; Whitworth, Brooke A.; Gonczi, Amanda L. – Science Teacher, 2014
The number of students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is declining due in part to a lack of student interest (Fairweather 2008; NRC 2012; PCAST 2010). One reason may be the difference between how science is done in school and how it is done in the field (Osborne, Simon, and Collins 2003). An interdisciplinary…

Vanfretti, L.; Milano, F. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
This paper describes how the use of free and open-source software (FOSS) can facilitate the application of constructive alignment theory in power systems engineering education by enabling the deep learning approach in power system analysis courses. With this aim, this paper describes the authors' approach in using the Power System Analysis Toolbox…

Moyer, Richard H.; Everett, Susan A. – Science Scope, 2011
Wind is reemerging as a clean and reliable source of energy--primarily for the production of electricity. This article discusses how to create a pinwheel to explore wind power. It presents a 5E learning-cycle lesson in which students construct a simple pinwheel-type windmill to test the power generated by different designs. Students compare three-…

Hosseinzadeh, N.; Hesamzadeh, M. R. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
Project-based learning (PBL), a learning environment in which projects drive learning, has been successfully used in various courses in the educational programs of different disciplines. However, concerns have been raised as to the breadth of the content covered and, in particular, whether PBL can be applied to specialized subjects without…
