Development of Experiential Learning in Electric Vehicle

Project Overview
Project Title	Development of Experiential Learning in Electric Vehicle
Project Leader	Prof C N KO & Prof David LAM
School / Dept	SENG / MAE
Project Duration	Jul 2016 - Dec 2017
Project Description	The project aims to add in time-based factor to measure the nature of the experiential tasks or milestones in the course. We intend to measure the time taken by the team to reach the main milestones, namely, the delivery of project charter and the submission of the team’s overall design concept. This time-based measurement will give us in-process feedbacks on how the course is being received and how we should gauge the difficulty of the course and fine-tune the content of the remaining part of the course. This is an additional metric that is particularly useful to measure experiential learning as this allows us to calibrate the assigned experiential tasks' difficulty.
Project Outcome	Students learned the industrial way to collect voice of customers and determined their project Ys (based upon CTQs) and carried out project activities and project management that ensure the project Ys were accomplished on time and budget Each group overcame their first milestone hurdle to generate the first 3D CAD drawing and BOM of their own EV Students were eager to propose ideas and find out how to reassure their design ideas by carrying out Finite Element Analysis and experiments to prove their viabilities before putting them into their solid products Each group manufactured their own design modules and securely assembled their own EV that could race with other teams’ EVs in class. The competition had really brought out their best, teamwork, dedication and hard work towards building own unique EV The students were able to successfully attempt what a graduate engineer can do by converting their ideas into practical design features that can live up to the satisfaction of their customers regarding additional safety, seat room and a hard rain proof shelter etc..

Experiential Learning in Aerospace Engineering: Development of an Interactive Online Gaming Platform to Improve Student Understanding of Aircraft Performance and Design

Project Overview
Project Title	Experiential Learning in Aerospace Engineering: Development of an Interactive Online Gaming Platform to Improve Student Understanding of Aircraft Performance and Design
Project Leader	Prof Larry Li
School / Dept	SENG / MAE
Project Duration	Apr 2016 - May 2018
Project Description	This project aims to bring the aircraft design and build experience into the classroom, integrate it with the theoretical concepts of aerospace engineering, and use its experiential mechanisms to form definitive links between classroom knowledge and real-world practice.
Project Outcome	The project is still ongoing. Project outcomes will be updated upon project completion.

Development and Testing of Pause and Replay Technology in Learning (PARTL) in Engineering Design

Project Overview
Project Title	Development and Testing of Pause and Replay Technology in Learning (PARTL) in Engineering Design
Project Leader	Prof David Lam
School / Dept	SENG / MAE
Project Duration	Jan 2016 - Dec 2016
Project Description	The project aims to develop a set of skill-specific PARTL (Pause and Replay Technology in Learning) videos to fill the learning gap that caused by mass tutorials in which students' individual learning pace cannot be accomodated. With the PARTL videos, students can paused when they needs time to think and replay if they do not understand any concept.
Project Outcome	Develop a video template suitable for problem solving engineering tutorials. Produce a series of videos that corresponds to the course’s structure. Administer videos and collect interaction data from students. Analyze data from student video interaction. Obtain student feedback
