“…[17]). value of these tools for conceptual understanding [18][19][20][21], representational fluency [22,23], laboratory experiments and inquiry learning [24][25][26], and problem solving and design [4,27,28]. In addition, engineering educators have started to identify the breadth and depth of modeling and simulation skills needed by current STEM workforce [29].…”

This mixed‐methods sequential explanatory design investigates disciplinary learning gains when engaging in modeling and simulation processes following a programming or a configuring approach. It also investigates the affordances and challenges that students encountered when engaged in these two approaches to modeling and simulation. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…More similar projects have been introduced, however, only a few in the area of life-threatening professions. For example, S. Moor et al developed inexpensive and flexible process control kits including both hardware and software [2], where each kit requires approx. $ 1200 in parts and is able to carry out a range of level, flow and temperature control experiments.…”

This paper highlights the potential of LEGO c EV3 mobile robots in industry, especially as an alternative to life-threatening professions. In the context of experimental construction of a powerful robot, particular sections carefully describe the story of a successful project called Snail (the robot), its mission and technical details. The most important scientific contribution is believed to be the design of powerful robot solution as an experimental proof that LEGO c based low-cost commercial robotic platform might be an interesting choice when dealing with difficult situations, money and knowledge. The robot is adapted to moving up the ladder including LEGO c Kit equipped by various sensors for data measuring as well as orientation in the terrain.

“…A key aspect is to define the activities that complete the learning cycle without burdening the students in the process. The inductive learning process has been previously applied to fluid mechanics and heat transfer [9,10] with positive results, and it is the approach to be followed in the proposed work. In terms of credit hours, a typical USA 4-year bachelor's degree has a minimum of 120 credits [11], with an everchanging total number of credits required by various colleges and universities.…”

Modularization of New Courses in a Curriculum – Proposal for an Advanced Fluid Power Course

-Most programs and curricula being offered nowadays is packed with courses and required activities, thus leaving very few options whenever a new course with additional concepts or materials is being included in an existing plan of study. Typically the option is to exclude some existing course in order to make room for the new one, thus avoiding the increase in total credit requirements in the program. Fluid power is a field that has gone through a cycle of being a staple in many technical programs because of its wide use in industry as primary option for power transmission; then having a substantial drop in its study and applicability; and then becoming once again a preferred power transmission alternative. Hydraulic fluid power is a mature technology, and new applications present several new challenges, with significant benefits. Therefore, there is a growing need to have fluid power education in many engineering and engineering technology curricula. Curricular development has been planned in order to offer advanced fluid power technology education in existing programs. This development has the main characteristic that is modularized, thus presenting the opportunity to be included in existing programs without the need for new courses. The modules are not introductory level material, and the development will have the overall context of systems integration, with topics on controls, mobile, and energy efficiency. In this curricular development the learning outcomes have been established, and at this point the input from industrial constituents is being requested in order to establish specific content, and how the modules should be developed and integrated. This paper will include all the information used to define the topics, and the actual content in the proposed modules. It is expected that this curricular development will address the limited exposure to fluid power subject that current students of engineering and engineering technology programs have, thus allowing them to consider careers in the hydraulic fluid power industry.
