This optimization is heavily based upon the premise that students haveresponded to the best of their ability using their own work.When this premise is found to fail, a common response by the instructor is to reduce the courseweight of the component(s) where academic integrity may be questioned (e.g. computerprogramming laboratories). While this appears to limit the gains of the dishonest student, it willalso demotivate the honest students by: 1) Placing less emphasis on core aspects of the course building blocks, and 2) Continuing to reward questionable methods with high marks.In the effort to limit the

These ideas include thefollowing: • Using multi-media resources such as educational videos and recorded interviews to give an overview of the materials world. For example, a compact disk made by Struers (Struers is a major manufacturer of metallurgical laboratory products, see www.struers.com for more information) presents the history of materials evolution right from the pre-historic times to the present age. In addition, computer simulations on various topics such as solid solubility of carbon in steel, diffusion, and dislocation motion

With those words, the ThreeStrikes Method was born.The Three Strikes Method encourages students to analyze and recognize mistakes. The instructorusing this method will purposely and sometimes un-purposely inject a mistake into lecture,homework or laboratory problems. The student is encouraged and rewarded for identifyingmistakes. The students are encouraged to find three mistakes, or three strikes, during lecture. Ifthe students find three mistakes, the class will be dismissed.The TSM has been developed, altered over a three-year period. Initially the process in itself wasa bit of a joke, but

interconnected.IntroductionThe four-year ABET-accredited Civil Engineering Technology curriculum at Georgia SouthernUniversity includes a required, senior-level course in Reinforced Concrete Design. The twomain objectives of the course are: (1) the students gain a thorough understanding of thefundamental principles underlying design of various structural components and the relevantstipulations in the ACI Code and (2) they correctly apply that knowledge to various practicaldesign problems. A combination of homework and computational laboratory assignments isused for meeting the second objective. However, a significant amount of design activities isbased on trial-and-error procedure that often requires several iterations, involving tedious,repetitive calculations. Also

These constraintsstarted with the loss of all structural engineering faculty between mid 1999 and late 2000. Asnew faculty members were hired, there was a period of time during which very little researchwas conducted at OU's Fears Structural Engineering Laboratory. While the undergraduateprogram in structural engineering had been relatively unaffected, the graduate program wasvirtually non-existent. Opportunities included nearly unlimited access to Fears StructuralEngineering Laboratory, a fairly large undergraduate student body wanting to focus on structuralengineering, and a very understanding

One reason students struggle is they are accustomed toprocedural labs and small-scale analysis problems. They lack experience in applying technicalknowledge to open-ended problems. This paper presents the instructional, hardware, andsoftware designs for a ten-week senior level control and data acquisition project that transitionsstudents from small-scale procedural laboratory experiments and individual design tasks tomulti-task projects that require coordinated design efforts. The instructional design simulates abusiness environment where a design team must divide work, complete
