For example, during theGreat Lakes Storm of 1913, at least 19 ships sank, killing 248 aboard.7 In the 1970’s, perhaps themost mysterious of Great Lakes shipwrecks occurred, the wreck of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald.When the Edmund Fitzgerald set out for Zug Island on November 9, 1975 there was a galewarning issued by the National Weather Service. Winds were reported at speeds greater than 50knots, and waves were estimated to be over 10 feet high.8 The Fitzgerald continued to move outinto the storm, which proved deadly. They were out of sight and off the radar in just minutes.The members of the ship did not send

The lowest scores were for adequacy of the physical facilitiesand the instructional resources.For Spring of 2005, the undergraduates rated all nine areas higher than 6.0. The undergraduatesgave the highest scores to the effectiveness in demonstrating significance of the subject matterand the instructor’s interest in whether or not the students understood the course content. Theundergraduates gave the lowest scores for clarity of instructor’s interpretation of abstract ideasand adequacy of physical facilities.

. Page 11.142.2Introduction to Virtue EthicsVirtue ethics is not a new concept. Most people regard it as something that was initiallydeveloped (as far as the Western world is concerned) by Aristotle more than 2300 years ago.Many ethical approaches concentrate on how to make good decisions when faced with difficultsituations. Aristotle’s approach was to emphasize virtuous living. A good person will makegood decisions, so what is important is to become a good person. In the 1200’s ThomasAquinas integrated this philosophy with a Christian perspective on the world. Aquinas’perspective was to dominate Western philosophical thinking for hundreds of years. For much ofthe 20th century virtue ethics was not commonly taught as a viable option by most

Every team was encouragedto post the latest program (executable without the source code) on their web site in thefifteenth week so that the other teams could test and improve. The final competition washeld on the last day of the fifteenth week. The sixteenth week was used for the students toanalyze their competition results and to finish the final reports.

are drawbacks inthis model too. Students often seek advice from the local faculty, and communicate it to theirteam members. This may lead to conflicting views as described earlier, although the chances ofsuch occurrence are low. More importantly, although the instructors grade GPD projects andteams jointly, the “local” instructor determines the final grade for each student at his/herinstitution. The instructor has a much deeper knowledge about the teams and the project works/he has supervised. It is difficult for the “local” instructor to understand the subtle decisionsmade by a team s/he did not supervise. Currently, the “local” instructor follows the progress ofhis “local” students independent of their teams by interacting frequently with

the theoretical relation between the amplitude and frequency is A / x st = 1 / (1 − s 2 ) 2 + ( 2εs ) 2 s=Ω/ωo, (4)where Ω is the frequency of excitation, ωo is the natural frequency of the system, and ε -damping ratio. Page 11.767.4The theoretical characteristic can be compared with the diagram from the experiment. Byknowing the amplitude of resonance then the damping ratio of the system can be calculatedfrom ε=2xst/Ares. With two laboratory stands students can learn about systems with 1DOF, their free andforced vibrations, and what properties the systems with 1DOF have; natural frequency,damping

Proceedings 1, our preliminary work involved an exploratoryclustering of student performance by using internal metrics only. Based on our exploratory Page 11.586.4method using total course points for the students in CSE 131 in fall, 2004, we reportedpreliminary results that seemed to imply a positive benefit for the lecture as wrap up approach,especially for the higher achieving students. The result was tentative.We noted however, that further work was required to confirm the putative effect. In particular,we noted the need for future research to reanalyze the data using a clustering metric(s) externalto the objective measures of performance in CSE
