[lunch&LEARN] Our May session presented by Curt Schurgers (University of California, San Diego) explored the use of oral exams in large-enrollment engineering courses. You can now watch it at the link below ??

A great joint venture in the right direction.

Discover how Aston University's Future Vehicle Technologies MSc course teaches AV control algorithm design. Utilizing a “lab-in-a-box” approach, over 9 weeks (3 hour per week), students master control engineering fundamentals through Model-Based Design with MATLAB? and Simulink?. As per Anirudh Srivastsa, a Future Vehicle Technologies M.Sc student - "My initial background was Mechnical Engineering, which means I stuggled with electronics and control engineering. However, I found the theory, simulation and hands-on experience in Term 1 to be helpful in Term 2, learning that knowledge from one device can be transferred to another with slight differences. I feel job opportunities are now open to me beyond Mechanical Engineering, e.g. in Automotive and Control engineering" Watch the video to understand what "Control Lab-in-a-box" looks like in more details

Building Confidence: Hands-on Design in Engineering Science Courses Engineering students often struggle to connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. A recent study by Gordon Krauss from Harvey Mudd College explores how integrating hands-on design exercises into engineering science courses can boost student confidence (ICED 23 Proceedings). https://lnkd.in/gSaMcCkb Join the "Design is a Team Sport" movement at ICED25 Dallas.

What have I missed? My colleague and I are building a new high school engineering curriculum (for 16/17 year old students) . The course is intended to be very practical with the majority of the overall time spent on group and individual projects. But part of the course is teaching enough of the basic knowledge and skills, to allow them to build some really cool projects. I am currently developing a unit on electronic engineering, and I have decided to focus on electronics for control of autonomous systems. I have only 16 one hour lessons for the unit. Here is my current plan. I want to teach them a little bit of theory that goes beyond what they already know, and for the rest to be as useful, hands on and practical as possible. They will breadboard the circuits in every lesson from potential dividers onward. What have I missed that you think is crucial? What can I leave out? I am being too ambitious? Please send me your thoughts - thank you ! p.s. This is for new year 12 students in the UK, lessons 2+4 are recapping previous GCSE physics lessons. This course is intended to be an introduction, to gave them a basic understanding. If they need something specific (e.g. gray encoders) for their project, they should be able to build on what I teach them. They haven't yet learnt any calculus or complex numbers (and I don't have time to teach them), so no time domain theory/practice

What advice would you give a student in college or university right now? These tips for engineering students are everything we wish we knew sooner! Shoutout to all the students returning to classes - keep working towards those goals! For those out of school now, what advice would you pass on to students today? Share it in the comments!

Master in Electrical Engineering from Colorado Boulder University. Check out this very interesting and great major from this strong university!

This work describes and discusses how establishing a starting point of shared ignorance, where no participant can know or dictate an optimal solution, can mitigate unwanted power dynamics in a student-staff partnership. Design thinking is used as a framework for the collaboration with an emphasis on adopting a beginner's mindset. As a case, this work studies the co-creation of a module in an introductory electronics engineering course through collaboration between students and staff. - "Design thinking and shared ignorance as a framework for student-faculty partnerships: A case study of the creation of teaching activities for wicked problems", by Torstein Bolstad et. al.
