Practical Skills for Students in Mechatronics and Robotics Education

For the 2020 ASEE annual conference, I worked with two colleagues from the Future of Mechatronics and Robotics Education (FoMRE) team to survey professionals in industry and academia about the practical skills that students should learn in mechatronics and robotics education.  Our paper was awarded the best paper in the Multidisciplinary division. The full paper is available in the ASEE PEER database.

Designing a Student Video Presentation Assignment: Considerations for Minimizing Stress

In 2018, I switched from live in-class presentations of project results to video-recorded presentations.  I surveyed the students about their experience and archived the videos and discussion boards for further analysis.  Overall, the switch to student-produced video presentations was a success.  In 2019, I shared the initial results and assignment design at the 2019 Frontiers in Education conference and the Quad-Pod Consortium Teaching Symposium: Transformative Practices in Teaching & Learning.  The article is available on IEEE Xplore.
